DWC - Denim World Championships 2015 - 2017

Mega and T&R you both look great with your kids.

I ended up moving again, I'm in Key West, FL now for the summer, I know this one will stick, I've been here before, just got lucky with a last minute position.  It's hot though, lows of 79, highs of 90 currently, humidity of 50-100% and it'll just keep getting hotter.  I finally got a 4th soak in two days ago.  More update pictures of the jeans in the forum but this is basically how I currently wear them and will for probably the rest of the summer, a nice fat double cuff to let some air flow go through.

Mega I can't wait for the challenges, it a fun part of the hwdc2

Nothing to do with jeans or the challenges but everyone loves a good pie I think.  One of the last things I did before I left for work was to make my mother a rhubarb pie for mothers day.  It was delicious.

I tried to take some macro shots of my IH-666UHR yesterday.
I do not own a tripod and I got shaky hands.
Some of them ended up quite nice. I think.

@trail and arrow

sweet pics first of all to you @nizzel55 and @_MUGATU_  I really want to get a macro lense, they just are out of my price range atm.

And for pie

Original recipe makes 1 9-inch pie Change Servings

4 cups chopped rhubarb
    1 1/3 cups white sugar
    6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Combine sugar and flour. Sprinkle 1/4 of it over pastry in pie plate. Heap rhubarb over this mixture. Sprinkle with remaining sugar and flour. Dot with small pieces of butter. Cover with top crust.

Place pie on lowest rack in oven. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue baking for 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or cold.

I baked mine with tin foil covering the crust and over the top for 30 min and then without for 30 min.

The crust recipie I used was this.

2/3 cup butter flavored Crisco + 2 tablespoons
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
5 tablespoons cold water

cut half the crisco into the flour/salt with pastry cutter, once everything is cut evenly into pea sized things, cut other half crisco in.  add the 5 tablespoons water over top and mix with fork as little as possible to get all water mixed in.  split in two and roll out.

or use whatever crust recipe you want

Thanks @fanya. Sadly I almost never use my macro lense. I got a really good one.
But I got quite shaky hands. So most ends up being blurry.
I need to get a tripod. Feels as must have when taking macro shots. At least for me.

Here are three more

[X-post from Jackets.]

I've been wearing/abusing this a lot since it arrived.  Washed once or twice.  Looks all sorts of crazy right now, will even out and keep getting better with time.  I included some additional pics from my time in the Catskills while wearing this beast.

[Finkster]

Damn - that's feckin' crazy abrasion / evo on your jacket   
Nice pic with the stump 

[organisys]

Stunning colours on that jacket evo….
