    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 😃

      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.

          Hi all my real name is Dan and yeah I get called Double Denim Dan quite a lot. I’ve been an industrial radiographer for thirty years now. On site we get called bombers. The equipment we use is built to penetrate through metal and carbon fibre. When I was an apprentice I X-Rayed a rose for a girl and made it into card. Dam I was silly. This gave me an idea. What if I could X-Ray some jeans on some old out of date film that doesn’t cost anything and no one cares about in my break time?
          I’m sorry as well I did a man search on the pockets and just tapped them down and left some sweet wrappers in them. These jeans are 25oz 777 in 31” waist but the biggest film size available was 35x43 cm so I couldn’t fit everything on. The 13 Fe EN thing is an IQI image quality indicator for steel but these are iron. Don’t put things in your pocket and think that it’s clean the pockets catch everything and trap it. ???

            More serious heat on the comp… I don't envy the judges!

            Think it, be it.

                That is amazing @Gammaman 🤯

                And to everyone: Enjoy your morning and don’t forget to have a coffee!
                I was enjoying mine ☕️

                In the picture:
                Dumbass me missing 1/2 spouts (the one I caught was tasty though!)
                IHSH-156 with flipped collar (so it fits in the picture)
                Ilse (that’s what I call my lovely ECM)

                Use it or lose it.

                  I'm currently living in Benalla, which is about 200 km, or 140 miles northeast of Melbourne. About the only thing to happen of note here was that Ned Kelly, who rocked an epic beard and a homemade suit of armour, got into a scuffle at the local bootmaker in 1877.

                  The shop survives, but it's a café these days.

                  There's a plaque on the door commemorating the event.

                  Along with a sign outside telling the story.

                  And for IH content, here's a selfie. I'm wearing my old Heavyweight Denim Championship t-shirt under my bib.

                      I live in Greater London, but work in Cambridge. A lot of development at the Science Park, where I work, over the pandemic. Two years ago, this was a field:

                      Here’s me buying a bogata and fries with aioli. I don’t have pics of the food, I scoffed it.

                        Car culture is big here.  Burqueno is what they call something that’s very “Albuquerque.”  These guys who meet up with their hot rods and low riders every weekend we’re pretty Burqueno.

                            Thanks, [mention]Matt [/mention] . You’re killing it as usual with these great shots of Burque. I’ve only visited once, but I do have extended family there, so I’d love to explore more.

                                @weftyarn not to rub it in, but the bocata was stuffed with grilled chorizo, peppers, aioli, goats cheese. Pure, delicious filth 😂

                                  That would be great.

                                    This is my favorite picture competition yet and it’s not even over. Great job all and thank you @neph93 and stubborn crew.

                                    This image is from my first winter in Denver. It popped up in my Google photo memories this morning. I was taking the train to work. The A-2 repro gloves I’m wearing here are no more: left one morning on said train. I really miss those. Looks like I was wearing a IH buff check, Alexander shearling, and IHxViberg smokejumpers. I think the jeans may be Strike Gold 3105.

                                    It’s wild to think how much has happened since then and how everything but the gloves is still in rotation. I got on the IH train I think in 2012 in Minneapolis and have never looked back.

                                    Oh, and sorry about my face  😃

                                    Think it, be it.

                                      I wholeheartedly agree @mclaincausey . What amazing content this contest thread has produced.

                                      We always take a buffer day when we get home from a vacation, and we missed the Florida temp and colors so much we drove across town to the Como Zoo conservatory to spend some more time around flowers, chirping birds and wonderful greenery.

                                          Better late than never…here’s my contribution for the week...

                                          My wife and I moved back to ohio to be closer to family and start one of our own. 9 years later and we’re busy raising four kids.

                                          We bought our home from Jon and Judith Hendricks. Jon was a pioneer of vocalese jazz.  I cherish the afternoon my wife and I spent with them touring the home after we closed and hearing all their stories. The home was still furnished so they gave us an opportunity to ‘make an offer’ on anything still in the house. There was a massive collection of vinyl and Steinway piano. Unfortunately, my offer for those got rebuffed.  I managed to grab one of his records from a local shop in town and brought it to our closing. I told Jon I’d be honored if he signed it. He graciously did.
                                          https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2017/11/22/obituaries/jon-hendricks-96-who-brought-a-new-dimension-to-jazz-singing-dies.amp.html

                                          We spend a lot of our time outside with the kids and we’re fortunate to have an open meadow with a small river across the street. We take walks to the ‘secret’ bridge and throw acorns and hickory nuts in the river.

                                          On the other side of the bridge used to be landscape art with a fountain and waterfall.

                                          Spring will arrive soon enough. I hear more birds in the morning and the sun is rising earlier. However, the trees are still bare and the snow just melted. So everything is brown. Much prettier once there’s a wall of green. Minor trade off to be able to enjoy all 4 seasons….I’m standing in front of the old fountain and on the bridge wearing ih-101j-sr // ihdr-502 // ihwe-jou

                                          thanks for reading.

                                          we’re trying our best
