How did I live in Houston for so long and not know about Burger Fresh? Dammit!

It’s funny you mention that, my girlfriend and I have been together for almost 6 years now and we go visit her mom every few months and she had never taken me before. I feel like I’ve been robbed.

Took Olive for a walk the other evening, this is her face after asking if she wanted to go on a walk.
Current fit, creases are settling nicely.
Close up with the Kanreki.
Olive really like the jeans too.
Have a fun weekend planned, going to a holiday market and a brewery nearby is celebrating their one year anniversary. I'll try and take plenty of photos! Might see if I can make it out to Jester King too. -
Alright guys, here's my update from the last few days.
Started the weekend off with some pizza and beer from Pinthouse. They do special pizzas every month and December is their mac and cheese pizza. Sounds weird, works surprisingly well especially when you add pepperoni.
Went to a holiday market, grabbed some kiwi jam which is delicious.
Next we went and checked out Dee Dee, a food truck specializing in northern Thai food. Pretty amazing, very spicy which is ideal for me. Reminded me of living back in Asia.
Thai tea.
Pad kapow.
Laarb moo.
After Dee Dee we went to Buzzmill to grab a coffee and beer, enjoying the overly warm weather.
Sunday was very foggy, kind of eerie looking but it cleared out later on.
That evening we went to St. Elmo brewing for their one year anniversary party. Quite the turnout, they had a ton of beer on tap and some bluegrass music.
Tracked down some Hops & Grain Lupulin Rodeo, tasty IPA.
And finally I got my car back! It had been in the body shop for almost a month after someone sideswiped me. They had to replace the back drivers side door and had some issues getting the right weather strip. Luckily the other person took full liability and their insurance covered everything. Glad to be out of the rental.
And that's about all for me now, I'm going to try to take some photos of the jeans before sending them off. Thanks for tuning in.

Final update for me!
Well as you've probably heard it snowed here in Texas. Quite unexpected, as the last time it snowed in Austin was 2010. We grabbed some Thai food to warm up.
Yesterday we grabbed coffee and lunch at Sa-Ten, a restaurant/cafe specializing in Japanese comfort food.
First time here, definitely won't be the last. It was quite busy though, they must be doing well as they are already working on a second location.
I wasn't able to grab great pictures of the jeans, but here they are before the wash.
Thanks everyone for following along, I must say I've throughly enjoyed wearing these jeans. Honestly more than I initially expected. I'll admit I've struggled wearing heavy denim in the past (mostly because of the Texas heat, but also with the IH cuts) but now I'm sure I'll buy a pair of 888's sometime in the future. Looking forward to more releases.
If you ever find yourself in Austin, TX just let me know and I'd be more than happy to grab a beer and some food. Or if you just need recommendations for places to eat and stuff to do shoot me a PM!
