Lego kit for a dozen roses

Yes, I went there.
Damn you Costco!

Hims got plenty of scratches. His tail was wagging all night.
Pup Dax is a great guy. He harnesses puppy energy in the most wonderful way. He organized the toy drive

Back to my roots.
The FlipSide was my home bar when I first came out, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth. It was the Fireside Lounge back then.
The Mr Fireside Daddy 2025 title/sash was special because of that. I entered on a whim. When I got the sash the penny dropped. Full circle.

Nope, Daddy Boot Bear wasn’t up to any mischief at the Flip Side Lounge (Mobile AL) last night.
The “Hot for the Holidays” Santa cigar social/Toys for Tots drive did well.
A good number of Crescent City Leathermen made the trip to support leather/kink in Mobile

At the Flip Side for tonight’s “Hot for the Holidays / Dirty Santa” fundraiser and toy drive for Toys for Tots
It’s cool enough to wear sitting on the patio in leather is comfortable.
Perfect weather for a cigar social

Booked at the Congress Hotel Chicago/IML 2026.
The adventure has begun.
I always jump in with both feet and this is no exception
Now to round up the monkeys for the circus

Pork is the foundation of southern cooking. The secret to good southern biscuits is to make them with lard and add a little bit of butter for taste



Ah, Deutschvolk and their pork

It’s just as well, I don’t think many UK are European ovens can handle an American size turkey

It’s just grumbling. Nothing’s gone horribly off the rails, yet

Your keyboard to God’s ears

Are there any specific activities for IML competitors during the week in Fort Lauderdale?
If you’re headed that way let me know. I’m staying at Inn Leather with my travel buddy, provided he can get to Atlanta

You can tell how thrilled I am with Delta from this image

Provided Delta doesn’t turn this into a cluster at Atlanta
My travel buddy can’t get to Atlanta. He’ll get to FLL tonight hopefully

Just got an order from Cockeye Kink
Does this leather bar vest make my ass look fat?

One of the wonderful things about this is when it is damp and you walk across those needles it smells so strongly of cypress
Rings up scent memories like crazy

Perfect timing
Cold weather/winter is coming
Cypress trees know it
Last week they were full vivid green.
Over the last 3 days every needle has turned copper & dropped off
The area around them carpeted with coppery needles
The asphalt you can see is where my van has been parked for the last 2 days

Whelp. I pulled the trigger.
I will be going to MAL, DC in January unless something goes sideways

Keeping a tally of the people you want to fuck before you die is called making a cumbucket list.

Infrastructure Week Boogaloo

There was wonderful support from from New Orleans, Mobile, Pensacola, & across the Central Gulf.

People in a smaller market (250k+/-) were shown that there are plenty of leather-folk present & saw many of the the variety of forms leather kink can take

Almost 20 kink titleholders from across the region brought big love to Gulfport
