try to catch every free minute (well, day or week …) for travelling, whether it's with a rucksack through Asia or my old VW bus through Europe  [interested? → [url=https://www.instagram.com/travellang/]IG travellang]

Man there’s some great entries, I don’t think it matters about my disqualification, I don’t stand a chance.

Anyhow, back home finally and went to see how my local beach compares to Florida. I ended up driving on the lake instead in search of sand. Figured I’d make it interesting by bringing the Loombreakers along.

Königsplatz is one of Munich’s important places. Both in a cultural/architectural sense, as well as historically.

Today it was the place, where we stood up tall to protest for freedom, democracy and sovereignty.
We, that is my mom, my sister, me and more than 40.000 other men, women, children, dogs, you name it,
that can’t wait for this war to end.

Behind the camera is me in my IH demonstration gear (888s, Black Wabash, 11OZ longsleeve).
No bomb can break that armour!
But I figured what’s in front of the camera is way more powerful and important.

That is awesome, @Noahf

This must be the least restricting jeans there is, right?

im not gonna lie, the bibs have ruined me. They are a 34 and I refuse to wear my 634's in 34 or 36 now. They just feel so restricting, even vs the double knee bibs. I am hoping when XHS or UHR in 888 comes out that I can get a comfy fit, but these bibs really allow the thighs to breathe.

This landmark is one of the ugliest buildings in town.
High bunker build in 1940.
A symbol for peace.

My wife is an art historian. Increasingly, “play” for me means art museums. Here’s me at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in Jan. I’m in front of Cy Twombly’s Fifty Days at Iliam: Shades of Achilles, Patroclus, and Hector. Twombly had a lifelong preoccupation with Greek and Roman mythology. Here, he’s fusing a translation of The Iliad with abstraction and figuration. Does it conjure the sensation of watching the Trojan War? What color would your cloud be? I’m not sure where the beauty ends and the meaning begins. IHTB-01 and 21oz 633 are the right clothes for pondering these questions.

[chrisjohnnick]

I swear I never notice how these 634S's are fading until I see them in pictures.

Great jeans… Great wall too. What is that made of?

[neph93]

One day I’ll update my house reno thread… for today though, here are my IH-888-XHS, repurposed as work jeans after I found out I love the 634 cut, and hanging in the cellar that I’m steadily converting to bedrooms and a man cave.

I found out I love the 634 cut

Thanks! The wall is just some old wood shake siding outside of my favorite local antique shop. It's been there for decades, and looks better the more it gets worn down. Just like these jeans, I guess!

Good shit @Brock and beautiful family.

Trivia: Timberline Lodge is where some of the exterior shots of the hotel in The Shining come from, though Stephen King was inspired by the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO, and I think pretty butthurt that it wasn’t used. He hated the film for that and whatever other reasons. He’s wrong on that.

The Stanley does market around being The Shining hotel and loops the film on one of their channels endlessly. It’s in Rocky Mountain National Park, which is gorgeous, though Estes Park is a bit touristy for my taste.

I guess this could count as Leisure or Family. This is my puppy daughter. I found her 3 yrs ago out in the desert of Nevada. Someone appeared to have used her for puppies and dumped her. She was skin and bone. I spent an hour trying to get her as she stayed out of reach eating only the Blueberry crackers I'd toss to her. About to give up I started the car and waited. She came over and climbed in. Turned her in to the SPCA and nobody claimed her so went back and got her. Named her Blueberry and we do everything together. The drive through people at the coffee shop hooked her up with some ham so she can participate

[sabergirl]

Great contributions, everyone!!

Here’s a little glimpse at my work life at the circ desk of the public library:

Fortunately, we have no dress code, so I can wear all my IH gear however I like.
