What's on your 2019 list?
-
Well, we just moved into a new house, so that means Julie has a mile long project list for me to complete.
I also plan to get my money's worth out of this:
Oh, and I think this may finally be the year I break down and buy a jacket from Simmons Bilt.

Rebuild Orange full sus mountain bike
@Stuart.T Awesome! Which one do you have? i always was a fan of them (first discovered in 1997 and Steve Peat was a legend riding for them).
My List:
- getting the colour in my last bigger tattoo, maybe add the last small gap fillers
- getting back to travelling dispite having a small kid
- getting back to regular workouts
- make possible that my wife can do her running / sports routine again
- continue to cook better stuff
- make sure my Whisky and LP shelf is toddler-safe
To buy:
- IH Shorts
- maybe an Aero Board Racer FQHH or another leather jacket
- a nice (!) kitchen knife

Come On Neph! This is not good!
What can I tell you, I do love the tobacco [emoji1]I’ve been free of it since January 1st, although I’m not done with the nicotine supplements yet. It’ll be fine, I’ve done it before. Twice [emoji847]
The problem with snus is that the cessation of the very apparent negative affects of smoking (stinky everything, coughing, wheezing etc) and the almost immediate benefits of quitting (better sense of smell and taste, lung capacity etc) just aren’t there.

Normally abstain from making such things public, but
a) it increases the inner "pressure" to actually do it all
and
b) my friends here can know, and all others, what the heck!So here goes:
1. Keep caring for my ailing mum, keep getting better at it and caring enough for myself to keep going
2. Go on a rehab for caring relatives
3. Get my bathroom redone, at long last
4. Get major overhaul of my teeth (yikes…but it finally has to happen)
5. Get my apartment door more burglar proof
6. try yet again for a better job (though there seems to be nationwide urgent warning addressed to all HR people cautioning against hiring me ::))
7. Try to enjoy life, not least by way of things denim, in spite of the above
8. ...not least by spending some little time with my friends.There you have it!

I'm pretty much tapped out on IH purchases for the time being. Filled out the wardrobe nicely last year, very few pieces left that I must have. Temped by the IH-555-XHSib, only reservation is that it'll be a bit too similar to the PIH5DCS. Will have to see the final measurements to be swayed. Still eyeing the black B-2 jacket, will likely have to wait until next winter, assuming Self Edge has any left by then. Cutting back on the IH addiction is much needed to fund my primary goal for this year, which is to move out of state. I'm in Utah now, looking at western Montana. The Wasatch Front is getting too big for its britches.
-
my tentative list
- purge more of my personal belongings and donate/sell stuff I no longer use. I have too much stuff
- lose 10 lbs
- get a new/used car
- try to do more outdoor activities with my son. Thinking of trying my hand at archery and maybe picking up a compound bow
- buy a pair of IH jeans. Hard to believe I don't own any yet ???
-
Good luck to all on your journey
for me its about:
family/wife/kids
money/self control
enjoying what I have
taking care of physical and mental self..
stop being a jerk -

Iron Heart-wise:
888-XHSIB
IHSH-219 western.Non-IH
Some sort of Simmons Bilt shearling jacket.
That's about all I can think of right now.
Goal-wise, I want to save at least 10 thousand dollars, so I can afford a down payment on a new truck. But I am leaning towards waiting to get a Ford Bronco.
All I have to go on is this leaked image. The yellow outline is the Bronco silhouette. The baby Bronco is in the foreground. And it looks like a Ford Flex. (Super underwhelming)
And lose about 5-10 pounds. But that is easy when I go back to work.
