Pickup post. Or...re-pickup post..
About 16 years ago, I stumbled onto this crazy deal while exploring the garment district in Manhattan - this dude happened upon a full shipment of some Carhartt Dunk SBs a week or so before release date and didn’t know what he was sitting on. I copped something like 25 pairs from him for about $20 a piece. I kept a few pairs, sold almost all of them, sent some to friends, etc. It really got me hip to the SB game. Anyway...that’s a story for another time.
So...the fam and I haven’t really left the apartment in the past 4 months, so we finally decided to take a little trip up to Tahoe to see the fam. I called my dad - who lives in Tahoe - and told him I’d be up soon to help him take care of anything he needed (he’s getting a bit up there in age)...so he said he was going to order some firewood and asked if I’d help him stack it. Ain’t no thang. My family growing up was always real blue collar. I’m good at like a handful of real Tahoe things - shoveling snow, getting cars unstuck from the snow, starting fires and stacking wood. ‘Sure, I’ll help you.’
The fam and I get to my dads house at about noon and there are 2 cords of super heavy almond. I see it and get to work without hesitation. He keeps telling me it’d take him 5 hours to do alone so he’s happy for the help. I finish it in about 3 hours...and as I’m finishing up, he pulls out a pair of the old Carhartt SB’s that I sent him back in 2004...in our shared size...that he wore maybe twice. He says ‘here, J, you can have these back. I never wear them.’ he also included some of his old skate clothes (swipe).
I know I sent him a black pair - a pair he still wears, but completely forgot I sent him a brown pair, too. Anyway, a nice little reward for a half-days work :)
