This is our beloved Pickles who will be missed he passed last Friday he was 18 or 19 years we rescued him 14 years ago. He was such a good pet and helped our daughter through her anxiety....

Here's another one of mine Donald is pissed because Mickey and Oswald forced him to go on Space Moutain at Walt Disney World.

I posted about Pickles who passed and thanks to everyone for the well wishes it's really appreciated.

My wife surprised me with a new Bengal kitten a few weeks ago this is Pretzel he's a real pain in the ass but an awesome cat! I can't wait to see how big he will get...

Here's one of mine it's always funny to have people see it and they have zero clue what it is...

The ongoing rivalry between Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling chapters in Tour de France history. If both riders stay healthy and avoid crashes this year, we’re in for an absolutely epic battle. What’s truly incredible is how evenly matched they’ve been — over the course of the last four Tours, where they’ve traded victories (two apiece), the total time difference between them is just 1 minute and 25 seconds. Less than 90 seconds over four grueling three-week races — that’s virtually nothing in a sport where one bad day or tactical error can decide everything. It’s a testament to just how elite both riders are, and how deeply they’ve pushed each other to their limits.

My wife and I are also huge Wout van Aert fans. He’s one of the most versatile riders of this generation — a true all-terrain machine who can sprint, climb, time trial, and support his teammates without ego. But more than just his talent, it’s his attitude and humility that make him such an easy rider to root for. He races with grit and grace, and he always seems to leave it all out there.

I’ve been a lifelong cycling fan — it all started back in the days of Greg LeMond and Bernard Hinault. That era had it all: drama, grit, and larger-than-life personalities. Then came the reign of Miguel Indurain, whose quiet dominance and time trialing power defined the early ’90s. Every generation since has had its heroes, but there’s something particularly special about this current one — the sheer unpredictability, the attacking style, and the depth of talent across teams.

As for Lance Armstrong, I could never quite get behind him. Beyond the doping, which obviously casts a shadow, it was always his arrogance and “holier-than-thou” demeanor that put me off. He rode with a chip on his shoulder and often treated teammates and rivals with disdain — it made it hard to admire his accomplishments, even before everything unraveled.

But the sport has come a long way. With riders like Pogačar, Vingegaard, van der Poel, Evenepoel, and van Aert lighting up every race they enter, cycling feels more alive and competitive than ever. If this year’s Tour plays out the way we hope, it could go down as one of the greatest editions in history.

Here's my axe. Fender 1970s Jazz with a Hipshot Bridge, Rotosound Swing 66 strings and I use an Ampeg combo amp.....

I love skating I did it from the late 70s until 2000's then got into longboarding lots of fun. My wife and I roller skate on quad skates does that count? LOL

I love them and its one of those things if you know you know. If someone asks or tells me I have a thread hanging I simply say no it's the chain-stitch runoff and it binds the universe together...

@RobeOfTheMagi steel is real!

@Mizmazzle Im surprised youre suggesting the 888 he seems to have smaller thighs and no ass which the 888 has a large top block so he might find there is too much material once they break in...

Hey folks,
Just wondering if anyone else here is planning to watch the upcoming Tour de France? Always a highlight of the summer for me — between the strategy, the scenery, and the sheer grit, it’s such a great event.

Would love to hear who you’re rooting for, any stage predictions, or even past Tour memories you’ve got. I’ll be tuning in and happy to chat cycling if anyone’s into it.

Cheers,

@Wlemon no such thing as too much brown or too much cheese on pizza....

@AdamJ you have to love retail we are barely out of spring and already planning for those wonderful layering months in the colder months, I cant wait!!

@Aetas what in the name of are you doing LOL

@Gavin666 aweosome thanks for the feedback I appreciate it!

I'm Eric from Toronto, ON.

I have lurked on here but last week I signed up for the forum. I just acquired my first piece of IH (634S) and I have 8 wears in them so far. I have been a raw/selvedge jean lover for years with the 501 shrink to fit back in the day. I love heritage style and workwear for its classic appeal and durability.

Besides clothing, my hobbies are cycling, record collecting, music and most recently pickleball with my wife

Looking forward to getting to know the other IH passionists

@Ross Wow those are sexy!

@EdH I have seen some cargo that tend to have slimer cut pockets that don't really stick out and I like the look but in terms of pockets, I'm not sure they would be very useful since they are cut to fit close to the pant leg... I saw a pair from Orslow that had a nice look so hence the on-the-fence reluctance perhaps I need to try them on... as for keys I hate keys in my pockets so I have a solid brass "fishhook" from Pigeon Tree that I hang form my belt and in case its need I have an accessible "Jason Bourne" type weapon at my disposal..

@Luijim78 likewise!

I love RRL stuff but easier to win the lottery twice than to find it in Canadian shops. And I hate buying pieces online unless like Iron Heart has the best "how we measure videos". Nothing worse than having to pay for shipping to return something that does not fit and shipping to Canada is always very costly...
