        Got the jeans from @Appfaff last night, and managed to get a IH key ring from G.  😎 But no chocolate!  :o
        More photos to come, but I have the jeans on now and I have to say this is the first time I've put on a pair of IH jeans and they've fit me damn near perfectly. I can safely say I will buy a pair of jeans in this cut soon, you guys nailed it. We're heading to the renaissance festival today, so I'll be updating the thread with pictures soon!

              Just got back to Austin from our weekend at the Ren fest and visiting my girlfriend's mom in Conroe.
              If you ever take a road trip in Texas stop at Buc-ees, they're basically a Texas-sized truck stop with clean bathrooms and a massive selection of snacks and drinks.

              Made it to the festival:

              Jousting!

              Some nice stained glass:

              Shot of the jeans with my new RW 9874s:

              Not normally a selfie kind of guy but wanted to test out the portrait mode on my new phone:

              More to come, I'll try to take more pictures daily!

                      Thanks everyone, I'm just trying to live up to the previous leg.  😃
                      Started the day off walking the dog.

                      Don't mind the Birks as I only wear them to take her outside.

                      Fit pic of the jeans, they are a more little snug in the thighs than I typically prefer but I don't mind.
                      This is my first time actually wearing the 21 oz. denim and I like how comfy it is.

                      Had a second phone interview before work to try and land a better job, hopefully I hear back some good news soon.
                      Had my afternoon coffee which sadly isn't that great, but I get it for free since I know the people who work there. I've been at my current job so long that they know my order and just give me free coffee every day.  😉

                      Got home and Olive was so happy that she turned into a parrot.  🙂

                      This evening I went with my girlfriend to her Spanish class at the local church, I'm not religious at all but I'm not one to turn down free food and good company. This was the last class so they had a feast of food from different central and south American countries made by volunteers in the community who organized the class. So authentic home cooking! It was a very nice gesture and the food was delicious.

                      My plate got a little full but you get the idea.  😎

                      Until tomorrow!

                              You call that full?  Considering how good the food looks, I would consider that politely restrained.

                                        Here's an update from yesterday and today.
                                        Random shot on my way to work, I like this ally for some reason. Testing the lighting with my new phone too.

                                        Got home after work, opened a beer and then sadly watched Kentucky lose to Kansas in an early college basketball game.


                                        On to today, taking my coffee break from work. Roping is starting to come along, I've been wearing the tour jeans with my new Red Wing 9874s.

                                        Later my girlfriend made me go with her while she had an eye exam where I promptly sat and took a picture of my crotch.  😃 (jeans look really tight here, but I think it was just the way I was sitting)

                                        For dinner we went to Rudy's BBQ. Now I know what you're thinking, you live in Austin TX and you go to a chain barbecue spot? I know, but I'll say that Rudy's isn't half bad for what it is and a lot of local barbecue spots are only open in the afternoon until they are sold out. So we had to settle since it was dinner time. I promise I'll get some better 'cue this month and post photos.
                                        Came out a bit blurry.


                                        Half pound of cutter's choice brisket.

                                        Ribs.

                                        Jalapeno sausage.

                                        And what's dinner at Rudy's without banana pudding?

                                        That's all I got today, I'll photograph the jeans tomorrow and think of something fun to do on my day off!

                                          Great update! I miss Texas and the brisket already!

                                          Had to hit up a final brisket spot before I left last weekend. nowhere near as good as Terry Blacks, but the bone in pork belly was good 🙂
