Triple Works - The New Jeans World Tour

Going back a few days…
On Thursday had some excellent french onion soup and spinach quiche...
and after dinner decided to give my belt a quick sedgewick's treatment…
drove to Kalamazoo on Friday for a friends birthday. Passed by Bell's brewery on the way in to town…
We ended up going to a place called The Beer Exchange. They run their tap prices kinda like a stock a market, with sales affecting a change in price once every ten minutes or so. Plus, the "market" crashes every hour and half, resulting in a few minutes of ridiculously cheap beer. Their lineup is always pretty awesome, with a nice list of mostly Michigan micro brews…
Here's a rather shitty picture of the menu. They've got these tv's in a few spots, so you can keep an eye on prices whilst drinking and having a good time...
This would be a Dark Horse plead the 5th stout (easily my favorite stout), and the CEO stout from some brewery I can't remember…
a rather dark picture of my friend and I..
my friend marveling over the mead, brewed in Ferndale, MI, and beer he just got for about 1/2 price during a market crash…
nachos…
some friends that also drove into town for the evening…
had a nice coat of fresh snow on the walk home…
woke up to at my friends to a fresh 9" of snow. Gotta love the lake effect…
everyone gathered in the morning and we cooked up a massive breakfast. Here's me pouring 26 eggs into a pan…
and scrambling them up…
part of our spread…
the crew. All of us massively hungover…
took a nice snowy drive home and went the bathroom, which is when the cat decided she couldn't wait to play with and started constantly swiping at me from underneath the door…
Had an excellent meal at a relatively new restaurant in town called Red Haven last night. Had some excellent food. Fresh bread with homemade butter, jam and pesto, and vegetable and fruit carpaccio, a local cheese plate, some gruyere, caraway, and apple ravioli, and some seared tempeh. Unfortunately my crashed at dinner and I couldn't grab any pics of the excellent food.
and to nurse this mornings hangover from a rather raucous last night, enjoyed a mimosa in bed…

Dude, you are the king of IH world tours - updating like a beast!

another day, another fit…
after an exceptionally long day today came home and had myself a nice beer…
and a sandwich from Jose's, my favorite sandwich place in the area and easily the best food I've ever had from a place based in a gas stations…
Chicken, cheddar, homemade artichoke dip, fresh jalapenos, and hot sauce. So damn tasty…
-
^Yeah, that sandwich looks really good. Some of the best street-style Mexican I've ever had came from a convenient store. If anyone is ever in the San Diego area, check out Liticker's in OB. Great grill man, snacks, awesome beer and liquor selection, cigarettes, etc. Pretty much one-stop shopping.

OK, so the jeans arrived on Thursday, just like clockwork. Coincidentally, we were heading to the “Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo”, or simply the Rodeo. It's a massive event that goes on for a month every spring and we usually go out for a day or two. Anyway, I took a couple of pictures just to give you a glimpse of Houston's biggest annual event.
Show cattle
Benjamin chillin with an actual Texas Ranger at the Lil Rustler's Rodeo (he's the one in the middle without a hat, being escorted by the dude with a gun)
Benjamin and Caroline meet a celebrity- Elsie the Cow, Borden Milk's mascot
Right now he's thinking, “Why don't we have a TV this big?”
Benjamin and Caroline meet ham and bacon (sorry Seul)
Gotta watch your step at the Rodeo- silly livestock isn't housebroken…
I think I need a “Texas sized” belt buckle
Cute baby animals at the petting pen
And finally, what would a trip to the Rodeo be without bizarre fried foods? Guess what this is
Did you guess?
Seriously, that's your guess?
Dude, you are so wrong.It's chicken fried deviled eggs. They're not that great, but I figured they were worth a try.

Just because that's what Paula plans to do to yours now that you've bought a motorcycle…
