    @Appfaff you're a hard act to follow on these tours.  Great work.

              The family and I have been sick for the last few days, so I’m sorry but not really any updates… but I have managed to snag a few pics over the last few days of things happening here and there.

              First off was fixing the tear in the LC steering wheel - I’ll be getting a new kit eventually, but went with a $40 Fix for the meantime:

              Before:

              Main damage

              After:

              I didn’t fill in the wedge, mainly because I didn’t want to add any more “fuck ups” to the plan lol - I may redo it and cut the original leather off with just enough of the spoke leather intact to look presentable, but I’m going to drive around and let this leather stretch first

              Kids were feeling better yesterday while Mom was crazy sick we we watched cartoons while I cleaned the house from 3 days of havoc

              Another Land Cruiser project is the cigarettes burns out of the carpet - I swear the dude before me was the Marlboro man, so I’ve been cleaning he carpets and headliners and it’s not really smelling like a smoked in truck anymore, but there are some burns on the carpet, figured I’ll be getting new floor mats soon anyways, so I tried a trick I saw on you tube on one set.

              The burn:

              You scrape the razor along the carpet to get some clean “fibers” and then you super glue them into the hole… kinda ghetto but it actually kinda worked lol

              Today everyone is feeling better so it’s back to normal I think lol

              Cheers

                I know it's been said, but this tour-leg ROCKS. Thanks, @Appfaff. Neat floor mat trick.

                  Thanks so much Saber!!

                  10/22/2017

                  Yesterday was pretty much back to normal, so figured I’d get a whole day in:

                  Drive to mobile to do some work at my favorite coffee shop:

                  Went to go get an oil change in the Cruiser (Free WiFi at auto shops is something I’ll never get used to haha)

                  Went and got my favorite lunch - rare steak and Vietnamese meatball pho

                  Fun Fact : just outside of Mobile is Bayou La Batre - it is a small fishing town and a TON of Vietnamese families move here for the industry. Because of this, we have a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in town. This one is more traditional so it brings a nice mix of working class and professional families together - most after church

                  Oh yeah… Mobile and Seattle go back and forth every year for the rainiest city award... it was so bad yesterday that I couldn’t go to the Spring Hill College library, but had to drive home

                  Cool old (not super old) Range Rover

                  Then I started out the rainy window for 4 more hours!!

                  Hope everyone had a Great weekend!

                    Ok guys, sorry for the lack of updates over the last week - we are in major crunch time for our annual Travel
                    Magazine and my family
                    Getting sick didn’t help me get ahead of schedule…

                    But alas, here’s what’s been happening in my hood for the last few days!

                    We got 5 live oaks planes along our front yard. Hopefully it makes our house look less like “pleasantville” and a little more “mature” as they grow

                    My clients new truck - this one is pretty cool - Eco Diesel Limited 1500 - it’s super nice

                    Came home and had dinner and some whiskey

                    The next day i has an early morning at the gym - some of my athletes hitting the workout

                    Had some taco soup and cheap beer [emoji12]

                    Had an Italian hoagie - it was good

                    The twins eating snacks at the gym this afternoon

                    BONUS: was up late building a website for a personal trainer kicking off her business a few miles down the road from me. I’m no graphic designer, but I (and she) was pleased with how her logo turned out.

                    Thanks for hanging!

                      You never need to apologise for lack of updates ever again. This one was very good, because of the food [emoji1] Also that whisky glass has me intrigued. I need to try it!

                        Cool glasswear. Hope the whiskey's better than the beer though…

                          Just got caught up on this thread.  Probably the most enjoyable I can remember reading.  Very kind of you, sir.

                              Cheers gents -

                              @Seul - the whiskey is quite good - ridiculously good if you enjoy American Blended - ROGUE takes the barrels they use for their famous Dead Guy Ale and wash the whiskey through them for a bit to give is a somewhat sweet, almost malty aroma. It’s easy to drink and surprisingly complex.

                              @Neph - my wife got me the glass for holiday last year - it’s essentially a glass with a tiny plunger you pop in after you fill up the cup with water - is slower to melt than ice spheres, which are my usual whiskey accompaniment.

                                Sorry for not updating the last few days team, it’s been a crazy week. Here are some highlights!

                                On Friday, I had a photo shoot for some marketing materials down at the beach:





                                It was a long day, so I came home and had some wine and charcuterie

                                Yesterday was our Annual Breast Cancer fundraiser at my gym - I went great!



                                This morning we took the kids to the local bakery for breakfast



                                Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

                                      Man, last week was crazy, but I did manage to get some photos of the madness!

                                      Got some Hop Hunter (one of my favorites!)

                                      Make chicken korma and butter chicken for my lunches for last week:

                                      Spent an hour or so cleaning the garage - at least we can maybe fit a car in here now haha

                                      Halloween was fun because the kids could walk around this year:

                                        You don’t hang about do you mate. No sooner than Indian food crosses your mind, you’re knocking up butter chicken. Great stuff.

                                          Next day was pretty busy, but the kids came and hung out at the gym with me

                                          We went to hobby lobby

                                          So I could get leather lunches to shorten my IHB-01

                                          Enjoying my attempt at Indian Food

                                          Had some dumplings

                                          My client Kim prepared to run at 5:30am

                                          Since I only had a week left with the WTJ I figured I would be afraid to get them dirty [emoji4]

                                          Even the pram got dirty from the overspray on the power washer

                                          Re-dyed a lot of spaces of carpet I. The Land Cruiser and it’s almost good as new!
