@Giles:

We're not allowed to fish in UK atm…..

Sounds like grounds for a revolt…

Paula is going to revolt.  I have the same number of lures being delivered, but I'm not losing any

@jordanscollected ive been catching Stipes bass. It’s a tidal river that I fish so these are ocean going stripers. Most my fish have been in the 15-20” range. Small ones by the standards around here. And no REUBEN I’m not catching Covid. I fish alone on private property!

If I wasn’t already married I’d be all over that elegant, stylish, consummately wise young woman like a quality blanket.

@deadendpro What good my brotha! It was great running in to you @ Self Edge! Sorry I couldn’t talk more, was on a time crunch and needed to get on the road for a 10+ hr drive to Oregon. I think the last time we saw each other was at Shoreline Ampatheatre for a Foo Fighters show.

It sure was man, and I can’t remember if I responded to this years ago or not, but I hope you are well and safe during this time amigo!

^^this was me driving home today. It was 80 degrees and I chose to wear my Pronto denim. Still don’t know how some of you can tolerate wearing heavyweight denim when it’s hot outside.

What’s that in real money, 25-27C? I would be happy to wear the 21oz, but avoid UHR or XHS. The Pronto 22oz is an unknown quantity for me in those temps having got them at the end of summer (which is the start of autumn where I live), last year. I had a feeling they may do OK in summer heat, but maybe not.

In all fairness,while I do wear my Pronto denim outside during the Summer,I’m not really outside,when it’s really hot,for all that long. After wearing IH from Fall to Spring,I tried wearing Levis,and I flat out didn’t like it,even if they were more temperature appropriate.

I don't know about anyone else but this lock down is staring to get at me a little as all I want to do is see friends and family and hug them all and I cant. So instead I want to send all that frequent this little piece of joy - the Iron Heart Forum - a virtual and lots of

Right back at you @den1mhead. Hold on, be strong [emoji3590]

I've regularly worn the 21 oz in 90+ (32+) Texas summers. On the other hand, the 18 oz double indigo denim is hard to wear in general and thoroughly unbearable in heat.

I guess my point is that jeans are a case by case decision and folks tend to adapt when they really want/need to.
