@Oaktavia they are fairly common around here. Their plumage colors range quite a bit around the bluish tones (age, sex) and when you get a cluster of them it makes for a beautiful palette. I’ll try for a clearer pic next time and post here.

This little guy seldom drops by for a sip of water, one of the smaller woodpecker species around here.

@Clint_D … walk in closet?
Had the privilege to gawk at Clint_D ‘s IH closet once so I’m placing my bet on @flannel-slut ’s guess.

Your explanation is very clear, that should see me through.
They are lined so sentence # 4 applies to my case. My next immediate step is to source a thin and pliable piece of leather to try this out.
Any recs on adhesives?
Thank you @NickD !

@NickD got my attention now! Any tutorial you can point me to?
I’m ok at sewing minor things with common cotton repairs: buttons, patches. Thank you!

@Mizmazzle not immediately. Planning on seeing whether it worsens or stays put, and then decide. But I have plenty of leather workers (none high quality) around town.

Beauty of a tshirt @Denimhead-0 . I normally steer clear of printed tees and thus missed this one but that perfect light blue color makes me regret my stubborn rules.

My 5-year old IHGB-01 brown gloves show a nice patina and worn in look at this point. They get frequent but light wear as I only use them for around town riding.

I’ve never cleaned, washed or oiled them. The leather is super pliable and they are superbly comfy on the bike. The tear was a total surprise. I never saw it coming so it may have been caused by a sudden strong tug in some weird and unnoticed circumstance.

My garden is getting taken over by weeds and a short walk around it ended up with my sneakers tightly covered by these clingy seeds. Each one of them betting on the chance my sneakers would give them a ride to a new virgin garden waiting to be colonized by them.

@derek111 congratulations to your wife on the pic. I really like the composition and shallow depth of field used.

@Denimhead-0 lovely japanese maple!

Great outfit @John-Galt ! The shoes nudge it up from ‘solid’ to ‘great’. Well done

I bet my question is covered somewhere in the preceding 46 pages of this thread but I was unable to find it. I blame it on a 61 year old’s technological shortcomings. So with that preamble offered as a lame justification…
I’d be happy to get recommendations on good options for electrical nose and ear hair trimmers. The manual ones I have, paired with weaker eyesight, aren’t getting the job done adequately.

@Tobi you wisely chose a top notch shirt to visit beautiful Switzerland.

I’ve successfully resisted buying a phone mount for my bike for 10 years but @Denimhead-0 ’s cool selfies of IH gear on his bike are likely to defeat my resolve.

Chilly mornings gets these guys hungry very early.

Cinnamon finches (all females) going after finely crushed corn

While these sayaca tanagers, exclusively frugivores, go nuts over bananas.

@Daniel-San thank you for such a quick reply.
Never owned this brand so not totally sure here. By way of calibration I have this data:
I’m a Brannock 10 C
I own the Viberg X IH engineers (black) in size 10 D and they fit well. That is my only engineer boot.
In general, Wesco, Whites and Vibergs, I do fine in size 10 C or 10 D.
I have a Viberg shoe sized 9.5 E which also fits me fine but it is on the 110 last.
Is that useful?

They look really nice!
Please share who the dealer is, if ok with you. I’d be interested in a non-black pair. Thanks.

My Pronto’s are still progressing on their fade journey. The most faded bits just about match up with the grey kersey.

Excuse the messy porch. House undergoing several repairs and renovations. Lawn, glass doors, tile floors…quite a bit.
No complaints here, we have ideal IH weather for a change.
