Just flew to Warsaw to travel to our Polish plant

Ever wondered what a tank looks like that can contain 1.5 million litres of apple juice? Well here they are! The small ones in front just contain 200.000 litres and are used to blend the juice to be prepared to be shipped off

[maharu]

Not bad for a tank! 

[Maynard Friedman]

Do you have a picture of a tank that can contain 1.5 million litres of orange juice instead?

[d-rew12]

Small trip down to LA for a japanese classic car show. Most pics are on film but here are two with my phone and a crappy pic of me weering the jeans haha

[dau]

shortly: initial pair sent to me got lost/sunk in a Golf of Finland, so in several weeks guys from Göteborg Manufaktur sent another one that reached closer to me but DHL said "no! not to him" and sent it back to shop...sooo another try sending and after several days fighting with customs I got them (guys at Göteborg Manufaktur are the best!!).

finally dried from initial wash and (yeah, all of you I see your 6-8 weeks progress) got first wear today. will try to keep up

 

[maharu]

Happy that they found their way to you at last. Looking good!

That's so different, you won't believe me.

Meanwhile some other impressions

Getting hungry seeing all those apples @beautiful_FrEaK

Was supposed to fly to Washington this weekend to purchase a car but it's been delayed, so in the meantime here are a few of the film photos from the event. No jeans though haha

Edit: Imgur kind of fucked the quality on these so oh well haha

Nice post d-rew!

[Thanks_M8]

Usual thing before heading out.

 

[vIGGiou riou]

six weeks of wear, still dry, still minimum signs of wear...

[Thanks_M8]

@vIGGiou riou once you wash 'em, they'll come alive. They react really well to frequent washing. 

[vIGGiou riou]

yeah, I know, but still I don't plan to wash them. they had some little shower during motorbike riding and it did on wet parts crispy spots. will wash them first time when they become dirty. now still clean and not smelling....

next week I'll do proper pictures of evolution

[Broark]

Think I’m going to give my pair a wash this weekend, wanted to hold out another month but I don’t think I can hold off any longer!

[vIGGiou riou]

what's pushing you to wash them ?

[Broark]

Just my own washing preferences, I usually wash once a month. And it’s hot in Texas!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Autumn is in full effect and so is the apple harvest...

Quick view of our silos

[Bobbo]

Not that I can win this one but at least I can post some tacos from Little Meats. A small but great joint here in Gothenburg.

[Broark]

I’ll have to post some tacos soon, we’ve got some good ones here.

[Bobbo]

I bet! One of my best mates studied a year in Austin. He says Gothenburgs best joints don't even come close.

Need to get my arse over there some day.

[Broark]

If you ever make it to Austin let me know, would be cool to grab some beers and tacos!
My favorite place here is called Discada, they only make two things: discada tacos and elote (Mexican street corn).
Here's a Wikipedia link about discada cooking: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discada
The tacos are tiny, so they serve them in quantities of 3, 5 and 8. I can easily eat about 12 because they're so good. 


I was fully expecting to wash these today, but now I'm thinking about waiting a little longer.















Some other random updates of the last few weeks.
Made it out to probably my favorite Austin brewery: Jester King.

@longshanks is trying to convert me to be a Liverpool fan!

[Thanks_M8]

Looking great @Broark and @Bobbo.

Actually finished two batches of hot sauce and some dried chili powder this weekend. One batch is lactofermented ala noma's fermentation bible and then cooked and jarred so it keeps a little longer and made from mostly red peppers. The other one is made from mostly green peppers, since those had to get picked before they rot, come fall here in germany. All the peppers were homegrown in my grandparents yard, weirdly enough the habanero plants yielded the most peppers.

Also bonus train pic with freshly washed and dried jeans and dirty red wings.

Also got a fancy new shirt from my granddad
