Some weekend leather in DSM.

Cold front/rainy week has been a bit dampening in the mood. Maybe these light night gym pics can get you damp in a more enjoyable way.

Been neglecting the gym with everything else going on the past week or so, but got in a good pump last night despite the heat wave in the area.

A recharge with friends coming together is sometimes exactly what is needed. And stuffing some happy mouths is one way Daddy enjoys connecting. The pun-potential of a "High Cow Tea Party" at a leather focused weekend out of town seemed "on brand", while proving a stimulating logistics challenge.

Don't you worry, boy. Daddy's got some extra frosting he can whip up for your cakes. Though you might have to get a quick taste test first.

Was trusted to help create a rope outfit for @jadedknight.bsky.social earlier this month, including some custom pink dyeing, and some rather careful construction/engineering to be able to get on/off with relative ease. Showing some of the process, and a few shots from a photo shoot they shared:

A highly enjoyable work break in between meetings.

Got told to hop in the sling after work and I couldn't have been happier 🐮

Gonna combine #TummyTuesday and #Tiedup Tuesday with a lovely POV belly pic (for certain boys who like such a view) as well as an equally lovely impromptu bondage demo from the weekend.

A very sweaty Daddy on local Pride Weekend. I imagine some of you scent pigs/boys would have been very pleased to be ordered in for a long huff.

Reorganized the "functional accent" rope wall (hand dyed and conditioned by me). Doubled up some hanging lengths for space to incorporate in some of the additional colors/multi-colored sets. Now which color/s should Sir put you in?

Several gym adventures to choose from - from taken to the locker room dressing area for you to start worshipping to putting your head between Daddy's thighs for a nice firm crushing.

Proof of life I guess. Sometimes the 3AM restless induced insomnia hits...and you find you may need to be the current project you work on to at least have some forward momentum. So you hit the gym.

Happy Daddy's Day to all those who guide/coach/mentor or otherwise try to be a good/instructive influence in boys'/subs'/etc lives. Enjoy the day! (Now this Daddy's gonna try and find some cake to celebrate! Any recommendations?)

TBT - 2013 and some candid shots setting up and walking in Des Moines for the second Titans of the Midwest/Iowa Leather standalone parade entry. (1st of such was 2012, but do not have pictures from such). And some close ups of a very different body and time I inhabited. Also - rainbow rope!

While not attending myself, still want to wish the contestants, judges, organizers, and other participants of their weekend gathering a fantastic time! In the meantime, to get in the spirit of such, is one of my favorite pieces of gear that makes me smile (and yes, I actually am baking as well).

Throwback to my first trip to IMLBB (2022) and meeting @dominantknotter.bsky.social on an absolutely unforgettable night 😄 (When are the buses coming back?)

Just a Daddy swapping out a malfunctioning kitchen light fixture (and finding that the previous installer decided not to ground the old one...fun!). We'll leave the sparks for more raunchy activities later, boys.

*Insert joke about shoving the tip in the underside and filling things with cream here*

An overdue leather clad update/proof of life from the last few weekends.

Been an odd month, so not as much gym/ropey fun as usual. But made it the other night despite such and figured I'd share the end of workout flex.

Past weekend gear night looks in DSM. With @big-ne-ox.bsky.social

It's the end of Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week 2026, and I'm celebrating with some hemp rope in the colors of the Aromantic Flag, made for me by the incredible @dominantknotter.bsky.social!!

A nice rope session from NAB by request with the as-pictured puddle of a good boy @pupbalty.bsky.social. Some scritches, muscle rubs, and general touches made for a great time.

More to come later on other happenings. Decided to make and pack the items for a lovely tea party to kick off the first evening of NAB (North American Bear) this past weekend. Good conversations (that unexpectedly lasted until 130AM), in a nice mixed gathering of friends.

Possible post gym workout POVs for good boys.

Despite the appreciated incantations, I wouldn't exactly call this a "happy" anything...but that seems to be the possible pattern of 40s birthdays. Nevertheless there's work to do. (Oh, and you can help spread cheer with any belated hump day/cake shots delivered below 👇🏼 (or in dm's)).

Bear Pride multicolor rope set - 2.0. Some good improvements in processes from the previous batch 5+ months ago, though both look great. And finished with plenty of time before NAB.

More late night gym pump shots.

Something, something couldn't sleep so late night/early morning gym.

Alrighty boys, pups, etc. Let's wrap this pretty awful year up, and begin the new one with something tasty. Don't worry, Daddy won't count it against those resolutions.
