@Oaktavia Wanted to post this as a reply in the 2023 WAYWT thread but it was locked. Anyway great minds think alike. Vest courtesy of Ortega’s Weaving Shop in CHIMAYO,NM.

As promised,my attempt at IH Triple Denim. Back in Black,Black,Black!

Out in the wild today. Summit of Cadillac Mountain/Acadia National Park. IHSH-295BB,IH55521S-OD

@AdamJ Can’t thank you enough for bringing the shirt to switch. Fit is perfect. And for the rest of you. Yes I did see Alex,AJ and Haraki,yes I did see Fall/Winter 24, all I can say is that we’re all in a lot of trouble!

Here ya go.

Thirteen consecutive years on the IH Forum as of today. While the cast of characters has changed,over the years,the vibe on The Forum has not. As time goes on I appreciate it more and more.

Been on a real B&W kick lately.

Over the years,from time to time,Forum Members have gotten IH gear to wear/fade and document. While there have been quite a few who did really great jobs at fading,I don’t think anyone has done as good a job at documenting as @Oaktavia. Being an artist he has an innate sense of composition,and it shows whenever he posts updates on his progress. Also his willingness to answer,and be knowledgeable about every aspect of the process,has substantially raised the bar of IH Sample fading. The other guy whose name I can’t totally remember,and who did a really great job,might have been a landscaper or something like that. He worked outside spitfiredealer I think was his username.

Nothing like a well worn,very comfortable,UHF to keep you nice and warm on a rainy day walking around in Bar Harbor,Main.

@mclaincausey Thank you,flat out great. There's a really interesting book that I think you might enjoy. It's called Sympathy For The Drummer,Why Charlie Watts matters. Although it focuses primarily on Charlie Watts,it gives you an appreciation of why so many drummers were important and critical to their band's success. Tommy Ramone being one of them.

@mclaincausey We're definitely on the same page today, as I thought what a great teacher he would've been or possibly was. His primary motivation in doing what he does is the groove that will ultimately make you tap your foot. He's not being complex just for complexity's sake.

@Nocturama During the pandemic,the running joke was if you want to be protected from Covid just wear a JETS jersey,and you won't catch anything. I think at this point JETS stands for Just End The Season!

@mclaincausey said in Music:

@Jett129 I just love how he breaks down his thought process and really makes the beat intuitive.

I agree with you 100%,with intuitive being the key word.

@mclaincausey Thank you so much for posting the "Teaching" video. Hearing him break down the beat,say exactly what he was going to play and it looks really easy when he starts to play it. Combining elements from the other 2 versions of the shuffle,and in case that wasn't crazy enough,add in The iconic Bo Diddly beat on the kick drum.

@mclaincausey said in American Football (NFL):

Why is Detroit the underdog versus Philly though? They just won the most competitive division in NFL history. They’re on opposite ends of the SOS rankings and came out with a better record.

As far as I can see Detroit is the current favorite to win the Super Bowl. The mere fact that the Eagles have to win 3 games just to get to the Super Bowl,usually,has some impact on the odds.

@IrishHeart said in American Football (NFL):

@Jett129 unfortunately I think you are right about the Eagles, but there was a similar narrative when Green Bay went to Dallas in the play offs last year. I’m hoping for the same outcome!

I don't remember his name,but the guy who has correctly picked the Super Bowl contestants and winners,correctly,for the last 5 years has predicted,in September,that Chiefs would beat The Packers in this years Super Bowl. He picked The Chiefs last year,and based on how they'd been playing,I thought he's wrong that year. I think his streak stops here,on both accounts.

@mclaincausey I await your review. I’ve never had a Pechuga,let alone a Mole Negro Pechuga.

@goosehd Ya gotta be careful with those corduroy pants…#pants-tent.

Ordered these 2 on sale today,from one of my favorite tequila distilleries. NOM1579. When I pick them up I will have tried at least one of every tequila in their current lineup.
