          Thanks for the warm wishes guys - we were lucky that no damage came our way.

          Yesterday was very long. Opened the gym at 5am, closed it down at 8pm and worked doing reports the remainder of the day, but managed to snap a few pics [emoji41]

          Tried my hand making homemade ramen Sunday night. Wrong noodles but it worked


          Grilled some "Conecuah" Sausage - its from a few hours north of us. Kinda like a southern kielbasa

          Yesterday at work

          Saw this stanced Mazda MX-5

          More ramen for lunch yesterday

          Cheers everyone

                  But drinking Heineken…

                  Hahaha left over "light beer" from a football party. There are plenty of Lagunitas IPAs stocking the fridge to make up for it.

                  Funny story - my grandfather was allergic to domestic hops - every time he would drink a Budweiser or Miller product his face would get really red and his arms would break out in some crazy rash.  Turns out one of the only beers he could drink because of the weak hop content was Heineken -

                  Due to the nostalgia of the beer, it's usually my light beer / bar beer of choice

                    Ok, so yesterday was supposed to be fun. Woke up early and hit the coffee shop when they opened to get a leg up on my work because I had finally found the truck I had been looking for, and "thought" we had worked out a deal I was more than happy with.

                    What actually happened, well… just read below:

                    12:57 (PM): made sure my car was looking good for trade in time and started my drive to Baton Rogue (3.5 hour drive from me mind you)

                    The weather was great, and everything seemed to be going my way:

                    I called the sales guy and told him I would be there around 16:30 (4:30pm) and he informed me that he would not be there due to his kid's school function but they would pair me with someone who knew everything about the deal.

                    I arrive at 16:42 (4:42pm) and apologize for my mere tardiness after driving nearly 220 miles.

                    They stick me in the waiting room… which was quite nice mind you, but still...

                    At 17:25 (5:25pm), nearly 45 minutes after I had arrived, a sales associate comes To get me. He informed me that everything was ready and we just needed to go over my trade.

                    They then offered $700USD less than had promised over the phone for my trade and I couldn't even drive the truck because it was still in detail… even though o set up this appointment on Saturday...

                    After driving it, I asked them to work on the Leicester due to the low offer on my trade. All I wanted was to cover the $700 gap another dealer offered me.  They dropped the truck $420 USD and said that's their final offer....

                    Needless to say, my @$$ walked the hell out of their as they were closing. Probably the only time someone has left the Lexus dealership over a $200 spread, but hey #principals

                    Luckily, I knew the halfway point in my drive had a Whataburger, so I powered through and stopped in Biloxi for the worlds best burger (my opinion lol)

                    Chop House Cheddar Burger

                    BONUS: When we were testing out the truck, we pulled behind a Civic Type R. I quickly grabbed my phone and snapped a pic (we were at a red light, not moving):

                    The sales guy I was with (who undoubtably was a total bafoon), said "That's neat, what are those"

                    Still shaking my head to that one…

                    Anyways, hoping today goes more as planned

                    Cheers,

                    Adam

                      That's very shitty of the dude.

                      On the subject of Honda Civic Type R, one has started parking in our "designated parking space" over night and we suspect the owner does not even live on our street. I'm on an all day drinking session on Saturday and unlikely to return until the early hours, so I have promised my wife if it is parked in her spot that I will urinate on it  😃

                            Yesterday was a pretty standard day for me. Kiddos off to Nanny, went and worked for a while, and opened up the gym for the afternoon.

                            10/11/2017:

                            Started off my work day with some coffee. I love the counter culture blends

                            And some breakfast (I'm a creature of ha it if you can't already tell lol

                            Few hours later I picked up the kids and we got smoothies and went to the gym for a few hours

                            And yes, Grayson has a black eye from where Avery head butted him and Avery has a skinned up chin where she decided to trip and fall on the wood floors lol thankfully school photos are not until next week [emoji52]

                            Grayson's new favorite thing is to knock on doors. All. The. Doors.

                            Mom was away playing volleyball, so we had pizza night:

                            Grayson is a BIG fan of pizza lol

                            After the kids went to bed, I got a little work done and warmed up some of my homemade Ramen I made for the week.

                            Paired it with this beer:

                            10/12/2017
                            Woke up early and knocked out some email design forms, and then took the kids to school

                            Grabbed coffee (the barista complimented the 179):

                            Made brunch:

                            Hopefully I'll grab some more update this evening!

                                        When the 888 cuts hits in 14oz denim (cough cough @Giles), I'll be adding a pair immediately.

                                          Seriously.  888 in 14oz and 18oz vintage are instants buys for me.

                                            Today was a pretty good day:

                                            Woke up early and snag some iced coffee from the corner store on my way to the gym and opened up at 5am for our morning crew

                                            This was our workout today:

                                            Figured if introduce you guys to some of my clients:
                                            This is Steve - he just turned 65 and is crazy strong

                                            This is Anne - she is 76 and a firecracker

                                            This is Naomi (she is from New Zealand and we share a love for fosters and rugby shirts)

                                            After coaching for about 7 hours, I went home and got cleaned up and headed to Mobile to pick up my new toy:

                                            Going to be a few months of TLC getting it into tip top shape, but I couldn't let this one go [emoji4]

                                            Off to a busy and hectic weekend that I'm sure I will over document hahaha

                                            Cheers IH family,

                                            Adam
