WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

In Cali for a race with the family. I've been dragged here and there and I've enjoyed most of it. My wife jumps at the chance to have girly girl moments with my tom boy daughters. I participate in most, but I draw the line at American Girl doll crap. Anyway, I dropped them off and hit SE LA and Mister Freedom.
First food and caffeine. PB & banana waffle hit the spot.
As I was walking out of the coffee shop I stumbled upon Hollywood Trading Co. Really cool vintage leather jackets & engineer boots. Not to mention som Stevenson gear I've never seen before.
On to MF where it felt like Christmas morning. The old mixed with the new was really a sight to behold. No photos allowed so one from outside.
SELA was amazing. 89*F and I was trying on BR peacoats & the IH deck jackets.
It was like Christmas morning, but I walked out with a serious wish list.

Exactly the same thing for me when I was there in June. That deck jacket is toasty, isn't it?

@Max:
Sunday morning walk in Hamburg.
The canal lined with brick buildings is beautiful, Max. Do you know what sort of industry they served? Warehouses?

My friend Uwe of Ehinger Kraftrad has his studio there, he tells me they were used in the spice trade. See some internals of his studio here:

^These were old storage houses that were built on poles in the river elbe, to avoid customs that would have applied on the mainland. There are plenty of These canals and storage buildings, they were built around the late 19th century, if I'm not mistaken.

The so-called "Speicherstadt" is one of the largest warehouse-complexes in the world. It was until 2003 a part of the duty-free port and is since 1993 under monument-protection. Mainly products like coffee, cocoa, spices or nuts were storaged there. Due to the very solid construction of the buildings for heavy shipments these warehouses are today with their central location a preferred destination for offices and start-ups. Hamburg as city within the EU with the highest per capita-income is the seat of strong companies from international trade over consumer goods to commodities.

Throwing money around like confetti.
