DOUBLE INDIGO 666 WORLD TOUR
-
Fantastic update with wonderful pics. Thanks dude. When do the jeans move on and who to?
If memory serves, the second round through the US is getting close to finished. @sabergirl deferred, last summer. @Fadez passed, a few months back, due to conflicts with other tours. @Matty123 also offered to take a turn. If either of those 3 are in, they've still got a home in the states. If not, they should be heading back across the pond.

I’m up next on the 888 chocolate world tour so I can’t take these but I’d like to at some point if it’s possible.

Another great update! I’m willing to take another crack at them, now, if the thigh will still fit! Do you mind taking a quick measurement, Adman?

I’m not at home at the moment, but as soon as I get the chance, i’ll get the measurements to you!

Whoa, thanks for the measurements. 12” thigh is way too tight for me. No can do. I’m surprised they’ve shrank that much, actually.

It might be a good idea to double check because that sounds like over an inch of shrinkage, and at this stage of the game I don’t see how that could happen. I wore them about three months ago and I couldn’t wear a 12 inch thigh even when I was 15 years old.

I'd have to agree with rechecking the measurement. I had them, late last year, and the thigh was at 12.75"(washed), before I sent them off to @DrBabyhorse . With the amount of wear and washing this pair has been through, over the past 2+ years, I'm certain all shrinkage was achieved some time ago.

Ok, I've rewatched the helpful video on how to measure, checked the phase of the moon and the tide charts, got plenty of sleep, and took a B12, and yup, looks like I messed up the initial thigh measurement. It's 12 5/8" inches. Or 12.625" for those who fancy mixing up the English system with decimal points.
Either way, I must've had a brain fart, so my apologies! @sabergirl , might that work better for you? Thanks @Giles and @scooter for the heads up! -
The World Tour jeans have arrived! Thanks, Adman. These have come a long way since I had them last. I’ve also gained about 15 pounds. I can wear them, and the softness of then denim makes it bearable, but I’m afraid I might speed up a crotch blowout.
Mia is obsessed with her ball. I’m obsessed with denim.

Nice! I’m glad the fit worked out. Also that’s a cool belt.

Thus far not much to report on the tour. Yesterday, I did my usual afternoon dog-walk in the neighborhood before work.
I was diagnosed with MS in December. This led me to need a less physically demanding job than serving, or bar tending, so now I’m a concierge at the Inn on the Biltmore Estate. I just started a couple months ago. It’s a Forbes 4 diamond property, so we’re pretty fancy. I’m not supposed to bring my phone onto the floor, but I snuck some pics during my shift, yesterday. Here’s the back of the Inn, by the employee entrance: 
Part of the mountain view from there: 
I wasn’t actually doing my own job for most of yesterday, I was stuck covering for our PBX operator, which means I spent the majority of the shift tucked in this horrible fluorescent corner wrangling this spaceship of a phone: 
Not my favorite. Truthfully, the whole gig is pretty boring and terrible, but I haven’t worked in like 4 months, so I’m going to hang onto this job for a while to get some new resume fodder. At least I normally sit at a desk out in this beautiful (if terribly old-fashioned) lobby: 
Here’s another view of the lobby from up on the mezzanine: 
I know the pics are shite, but I’m terrified of getting caught with my phone out; it’s a very strict policy. Anyhoo, this morning I had a doctor’s appointment, which is sort of a common feature of my life these days. This particular office is a weird throwback to the 60s—the practice has been there for a looong time. 
Then I got lunch with my mom. Snapped a mirror selfie for my first fit pic of this leg: 
The jeans are tighter than I would like across the hips and seat, I’m sort of scared I’m going to rip them getting in and out of the car. Fit looks fine, just feels constricting. Maybe wearing them will be inspiration to lose the weight I gained recovering from surgery. I have to go back to work in an hour or so. More updates to come!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
