      Since I figured by the end of the tour, the stitching in the pockets will be LONG gone, I figured I would document that they did, in fact, begin in proper shape:

                  I'm going to stipulate another tour condition here. When you pass on a chocolate bar you have to post an interesting fact or anecdote about why you sent that particular bar. Here's mine….

                  In the US Cadburys chocolate is now made under license by Hershey's, to their recipe rather than Cadburys. Since the change it has been made extremely difficult to get real Cadburys in the US, and American chocolate lovers have described Hershey's version as "virtually inedible".

                    Killer!  Im going to do my best to bring Broark some chocolate made in Downtown Mobile. Maybe even some chocolate covered strawberries if he is nice [emoji2]

                    And I agree - I can't believe I have lived 29 years and never had "jelly popping chocolate," or this amazingness I'm enjoying now…

                        Thanks man - I really like the cut, but I think I would get a 38 in the first run of these from IHUK.

                          Day 2 with the WTJs started with my having to wake up early on my "late morning" and cover for one of my employees who was sick:
                          (This is AM)

                          Made some coffee:

                          Mmmmmm

                          Then headed to open up the Gym:

                          Today's workout for my gen pop clients:

                          Made some breakfast at the gym (pretty decent actually, and on sale at whole food last week):

                            Left the gym and took the twins to preschool and came home and cooked breakfast.

                            First, made more coffee:

                            Enjoyed some of the Kanreki Jam Giles sent (delicious BTW!):

                            Got cleaned up:

                            Took a break from designing emails to oil up some
                            Patches in prep for the fall:

                            Went and picked up the dogs from the groomers and came home to show off their fall makeovers:

                            Went back to the gym and coached classes for the rest of the night:

                            BONUS pic of the beaches we market (pic from my co-worker):

                            Until tomorrow!

                                Stellar. It's good to start off the tour with someone who doesn't sleep.

                                      Today started off about the same as yesterday, except for the fact that I didn't pre-load my
                                      Coffee maker, and was running a bit later than I should have:

                                      Had to go the traditional route of gas station cafe au lait and canned espresso

                                      Luckily, I had some good tunes to set the mood for the day:

                                      Opened up the gym again this AM, and this was in tap for our athletes:

                                      Hitting a 10ft target is easy when you are 6'5:

                                      One of my coaches came in to relieve me at 9:30, so I could make a run to the bank and make deposits… it was obviously payday for some people lol

                                      Luckily, I was able to come home and get cleaned up and out on proper clothing for the day (WTJ included):

                                      My sister in law is in town from Seattle, so we went to lunch. I had a salmon salad with hot bacon dressing:

                                      …continued...

                                        I have been talking with one of my clients for a while about trying to acquire a car for autocross racing. He has invited me to come to some races with him, but without a proper race car, I'd be a little left out (that and I barely fit into his Miata lol).

                                        He is the general manager at the Nissan store in town, and his top tech has a custom 240sx he is looking to sell, so I went and looked at it.


                                        For those interested in this sort of thing, here are some specs:
                                        1996 USDM 240sx frame
                                        S14 JDM SR20 engine swap
                                        SR20 transmission conversion
                                        Garrett gt2871r turbo
                                        Aftermarket intercooler
                                        Oil cooler with stainless lines
                                        Custom suspension build
                                        Custom exhaust

                                        It has a rather nice rear end [emoji12]


                                        Doubtful my wife will let me buy it, but it's pretty sweet, and was SUPER loud haha

                                        Came home and got to studying a bit. But first… coffee:



                                        BONUS PIC OF ME IN SOME RETRO SHADES:

                                        Had some English chocolate while studying (ThankS AGAIN Gav!)

                                        As much as I love a great IPA, sometimes you just need a cold, crisp Lager 🤣

                                        Unsolicited Marketing tip for the day:
                                        Business cards never last very long once you hand them out. Give someone something they can use for a while, and your brand will always be right in front of them:

                                        That's all for me today. Tomorrow will probably be more of the same, but I will be sure to annoy everyone with my posts anyways!

                                        I'll probably go study at my alma mater, so I'll try and get some pictures as it's one of the oldest college in the south.

                                        Cheers,

                                        Adam

                                            Yeah, it's great when people don't slackass their way through a leg.  This is quality work.
