Art dump #2
#Jk it's story time again#And I'll remember to tag things this time lmaoo#To continue:#So at this point I was getting nervous and kinda softly mentioned that I probably couldn't afford this (on behalf of my DAD)#But he was silent. We went up to the absurdity of a front desk and he was like. OK $100. But I like you so $80. Come back Saturday.#Oh!!! Ok? Thank you!!! I guess?#Come Saturday we rushed over there after some errands took longer than we thought they would and the shop was closed#Dude was there tho so I peeked in and he was all 'come in come in!!'#Oh ok that's strange#And he pulled out the jacket and excitedly explained that he'd TAKEN THE SLEEVES OFF AND RESIZED THEM#On a LEATHER JACKET#Do you have any idea how hard that is and how much skill you need to pull it off??#And ofc the finished product was gorgeous#And while we were looking it over he explained how he decided to go the extra mile to 'challenge himself'???? For no extra charge??#So I'm over here dumbfounded and complimenting his craftsmanship profusely because that the least I could do#But while I was debating if $3 was enough to be a tip or so small it'd be an insult#HE handed ME $10 as a DISCOUNT#IT WAS $70#HOLY SHIT#At that point my brain is fried like wtf do I do when the shop owner literally hands you cash#But he seems pleased but it all (lol) and we leave#So anyways. If you're in the Houston area go to D's Alterations and appreciate this small nonverbal foreign man for all that he deserves#Oh and one last thing: my dog is finally getting his eye surgery!!! In one week!!!#All in all it was a really strenuous and expensive experience#but I'm genuinely glad I went thru with it because it was a rlly good learning experience on how to handle a major expense in the future#Because to get his cataract removed it was estimated $4000 for both eyes but only $2000 for one. Hah#The anesthesia was the kicker not the surgery itself. I believe the main event really is $3000~#But the prep bumped it up to approx $5500~#... I ran out of tags again. OK that's a story for another time ig LMAO. My life has been eventful as of late. Anyways. Have a lovely day!!#The artistiest tag
