      The Midwest IH crew is overdue for an update!  I thought I'd provide some documentation of how the 666SII is holding up, but first, some pictures from out and about!  The weather has warmed up a bit over the last couple of weeks- we've escaped the winter storm poundings that the east coast has been getting.  We've gone for a couple of nice walks with the kids- it's always great to get out and get some fresh air.



      Grace is a little goof!

      We had some good times playing at the park too-


      The kids are growing so fast- all the sudden, Grace is walking around, new words are learned nearly every day- Dada, Mama, cat and uh-oh! are all current favorites…

      I did catch a bad low light picture of the snowy trail all cleared up- I was out for a walk, and the sun hadn't come up yet.

        Great pics @Adman103 and the 666 world tour jeans look great, no lets make that an awesome. Image number 5 is the winner though hands down  😎

          So here's the tour pair next to my own pair of 666SII, that haven't gotten as much love- they're a tad small on me- I wear them, but not as much as some of my other pairs.  Also included- the original hem trimmings, to compare the fabric with an unfaded sample.

              The 666SII have been busy- lots of work and lots of life over the last few months!  We thought we'd say hi with a food and fun update-
              In the Chicago area, we take our pizza seriously.  Without getting preachy and obsessive, Chicago is known for deep dish pizza, but there is much more to it than that- what makes Chicago a great pizza city isn't just deep dish- it's the variety of different pizza types that you can get!  Stuffed pizza is my personal favorite- it's pizza that has both a top and bottom crust, with cheese and toppings in the middle.  Sauce is then spooned over the top crust prior to baking.  It's an intense dish, and eaten with a fork and knife.  Deep dish is what it sounds like- single crust, a thick layer of cheese and ingredients, and depending on the restaurant, the sauce can go above or below the top layer of cheese.  Here's a nice stuffed pizza from a local place- my wife was out of town, so I got my favorite- stuffed with mushrooms, onions, green peppers, half sausage, and half Italian beef.



              To be clear though, if you just order a regular pizza in Chicago, you don't get stuffed or deep dish.  You get a nice, flat, square cut pizza with a slightly crispy crust.  The pie we ordered a couple of weeks later for reference- same local joint as above, a regular pizza with Italian beef and giardineria:


              The weather's been slowly warming up, so it's been great to get the kids out and go for some walks.

              Elliott was amazed at the lights in one of our local spots!

                A good chunk of our time is always spent on hands and knees though- the 666SII are definitely having some knee fades setting in, which I'll be sure to document soon- a little play time for now-

                Man cannot live on pizza alone.  My wife made up a nice wine, cheese, and fruit dinner…

                A few nights ago, I got to go to a local guitar nerd gathering- Gear and Beer.  Here's my contribution- a little bit of local pride here.

                It's been a crazy spring so far, and the kids have been loving watching all the changes!

                The Midwest Chapter of the 21 oz army wishes all the rest of the IH family all the best!

                      That's a good question- I wasn't on the original list for the tour, and as much as I've loved my time with them, I'll be happy to see them on to the next stop around the world…

                          If memory serves, the second round through the US is getting close to finished. @sabergirl deferred, last summer. @Fadez passed, a few months back, due to conflicts with other tours. @Matty123 also offered to take a turn. If either of those 3 are in, they've still got a home in the states. If not, they should be heading back across the pond.

                          Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

                            Another great update! I’m willing to take another crack at them, now, if the thigh will still fit! Do you mind taking a quick measurement, Adman?

                              I’m up next on the 888 chocolate world tour so I can’t take these but I’d like to at some point if it’s possible.

                              Maybe so. Maybe not

                                I’m not at home at the moment, but as soon as I get the chance, i’ll get the measurements to you!

                                    Ok, I took some measurements today- the jeans needed a wash, so they received a careful bath, and all dried out, the waist measured 18", front rise is 10 3/4", rear rise is 15", and the thigh is 12", all measurements taken following the Iron Heart instructions!

                                        Whoa, thanks for the measurements. 12” thigh is way too tight for me. No can do. I’m surprised they’ve shrank that much, actually.

                                            It might be a good idea to double check because that sounds like over an inch of shrinkage, and at this stage of the game I don’t see how that could happen. I wore them about three months ago and I couldn’t wear a 12 inch thigh even when I was 15 years old.
