Was in an Oyster bar in London last week and had a half dozen great ones from Morecambe Bay.

Awesome! I usually like the Bay fished oysters best since their water is usually more stable. The Blue Point were nice and brine-y but not overly salty. The Gulf, which are usually more "bland" (hence why we had originally planned to grill all 20 of them) were actually amazing, so I shucked some and we enjoyed those half-shell as well. I do prefer West Coast oysters however, and usually indulge whenever I can find them haha

Today was pretty standard. Coached 5:30, 6:30 and 8am training sessions and the kiddos got dropped off right before my 8am group.
Grayson trying in my watch cap
Came home, out the kids down for a nap and made some coffee, aeropress style
Then got to work
Paired the WT jeans with a new IHSH-76 I snagged from @kiya - cheers dude
Totally different textures - great combo for sure
Took a break for building some ads to feed the kids a snack.
Back to work for the rest of the day, but here are a few photos from the weekend:
Tried a new coffee shop in Fort Worth called Craftsworks. They do a coffee shop and then half the building is a "workspace" for people to rent conference rooms or simply sit and work. The coffee was pretty good. I had a Cortada while @formulapfaff had a Latte
Sure me more beers consumed:
PreFlight beer: Rahr Red - brewed in Fort Worth, Texas
A local Indianapolis beer we had while in Indiana
While searching for interesting things in my grandfathers wine cellar, my brother found this:
We opened it and drank some (had to throw out most of it, before realizing people were laying close to $200 for this year hahaAnyways, perhaps more updates later

Oh man, that beer?! Calling @Seul … Another brilliant update, you're setting a new standard here. Btw, what size did you go for on the 76?
Same as you I believe - XXL. Fit is just about perfect. Kiya sent me the largest P2P they had which fits identical to my 162 in XL
As for the beer, bottle aging is good, but I think 23 years was pushing it lol

Last night we cooked some dinner, and I had a Texas beer than I bootlegged back to Alabama with me. In actuality, I bootlegged An entire cooler of Texas beer as well as two bottles of whiskey… #outlawlife
No pics of dinner, sadly, but just some Greek chicken with rice and salad - pretty boring stuff really.
Anyways, got today started by trying a new (stronger) Chemex recipe - turned out great.
And tried out another piece that the IH fairly delivered to me in Tejas
About to hop onto a conference call and maybe take the kids to Costco later.. if so, I will be sure to document the carnage of my wallet to bulk deLs and impulse buys lol
Cheers,
Adam

Jett, i used to use a 15:1 water to coffee ratio, but this time used 50g coffee with 700ml water - only filled to the little bubble instead of the wood like I normally do lol
I bough Rogue Dead Guy and Bakers - both are substantially cheaper in Texas than they are in Alabama - although the TX whiskeys are good too, but not my Cup of tea

Hey guys, quick update. Just picked up the jeans today, not able to take any photos yet since I'm just heading out to work but I'll be sure to post some pictures tomorrow.
Perfect timing as I'm heading out to Jester King for a beer release tomorrow and then leaving for New Orleans on Saturday. Stay tuned! -
Have fun with them! And travel safe

So turns out I'm not going to make it to the brewery today, trying to save some cash for the New Orleans trip and practice some self-control…but I have some photos of the jeans!
They are a little snug on me, I wish the rise was about an half an inch to an inch higher and about half an inch more thigh room, but I'll make 'em work.

Great flicks Broark! Looking forward to your leg of the tour

Alright guys, I'm back from New Orleans so here's my update!
Weather was great when we got there, sun was starting to set and nice and clear.
First night we got there we hit up Port Of Call, which is half tiki bar half burger joint.
After dinner our next stop was this spot in Bywater called Bacchanal Wine, which is half wine shop half big outdoor concert area with some small plates to accompany your wine. Not usually a wine guy but I enjoyed the vibe here.
We had a few bottles of wine, listened to some music and then called it a night.
Ended up talking to the bassist and he's playing a show in Austin in May, we told him we were going to try and catch the show but he probably just thought we were drunk.
The next day started off with a few Stumptown nitros. We stayed at the Ace Hotel and it was nice having a Stumptown right next door.
After that we walked over to a restaurant called Willa Jean, which was southern inspired focusing on biscuits, pastries and other good eats.
Just look at this chicken biscuit topped with honey and battered with cayenne pepper. ???
After that we walked around the French Quarter and enjoyed the afternoon, my girlfriend insisted on taking selfies so here I am wearing my Roy chambray shirt and Papa Nui cap. Can't see the world tour jeans but they're on my legs!
Next up we headed over to Avenue Pub which had a pretty solid tap list.
I was looking for some beers from Parish Brewing Company as I've heard they have some good ones, and luckily they had a few on tap!
First up was the Parish Envie, a hazy hoppy APA. Quite tasty and was tapped pretty recently according to the bartender.
Next up was the Parish Rêve coffee stout, also very tasty.
Sitting outside on their rooftop patio, good for people watching.
I thought the name of the restaurant across the street was pretty funny, since I have the humor of a 13 year old.
Also, after looking through all my photos this is the only one you can see of me in the jeans! In the background at the bar, probably ordering another beer…
For dinner we hit up a place called Killer Po Boys, where I had a pretty good pork belly poboy.
Stopped by Erin Rose for a frozen Irish coffee before we went on a ghost tour (where I forgot to take any pictures!
The next day was basically a wash, as it rained all morning and afternoon. We tried walking around a bit but it was pretty miserable and rainy. Probably would've been better if I had the IHJ-57 that's coming out soon.
Later on it stopped raining, so we grabbed a donut from District Donuts. This one was hibiscus flavored.
After donuts we walked around the Garden District a bit before grabbing dinner at Cochon Butcher.
This was one of the best pulled pork sandwiches I've ever had, which is almost blasphemous for me to say considering I live in Texas and this was Carolina style barbecue. ::)
Fast forward a couple of days and we were back in Conroe at my girlfriend's mom's house. That evening we checked out B52 Brewery which was very tasty. I had their bourbon barrel aged breakfast stout with cocoa nibs and their DIPA with galaxy hops aged on oak. Surprising little brewery!
That's about all I've got from my trip, the jeans are holding up well. I've forgotten what it's like wearing heavier jeans but these are very nice. I wish the rise was a little higher and the thighs had a little more room in them, but I'm making them work for now. Thanks for reading! -

As a North Carolinian resident alien in Texas, I feel comfortable reassuring you that you're ok liking both. While they're both BBQ, that's really name only. Kinda like lambics and imperial stouts are both beers.
What's blasphemous is the thought that you can get quality Carolina pulled pork 'cue in Louisiana.
Great update, though…
