The Iron Heart Forum Triangle of Terror Type III Trucker Tour 2018 - Updates thread

[Appfaff]

Last night we had a bit of a cooking bonanza to get the fridge stocked for the week

Pork Belly Fried Rice:

I made meatballs for dinner

Beer, of course [emoji851]

Token martini while working on some job search stuff - not sure why, but I like my martinis super cold and a little icy lol [emoji23]

Today’s outfit with the ODL

Little afternoon coffee action

Selling a truck for a client of mine, so took some “glamour shots”

And crammed the thing into the garage

Bonus of the kids playing

Cheers crew,

Adam

That jacket fits you so well @Appfaff

[Appfaff]

Thanks @neph93 - it’s been my “throw on and run out of the house” jacket the last few days. Sadly, I had to layer my down vest over it today due to some nasty weather.

Firstly that doesn't sound sad, it sounds great. Secondly, unless it was a hurricane/snowstorm you need to check your weather privilege, sister

Whoever detailed the truck looked like they did a good job!
Actually quite hard to get a silver that glossy looking. 

[Appfaff]

Thanks @organisys - I clay barred it. Hopefully the buyer shows tomorrow. Took about 2 hours before 3 guys all asked to see it. It sat at a “you sell it Lot” for 3 weeks with no calls, so my client was happy to hear the good news, and my wife was happy to hear about the commission lol [emoji13]

@Neph93 “it’s a different kind of cold” lol [emoji23]

Short update on last night. Enjoyed a local Mobile, Alabama IPA, made steaks, and paired with the Prairie “Twist” Dry-Hopped Farmhouse Ale.

Today was out running errands in the lefty [emoji41]

Today was kinda atypical for me, but after I dropped the twins off at school, I did a bit of video editing for a new social media project we are doing (FYI, I am NOT a pro lol)

Finished some end of year work for the gym so headed to my tax lady across the bay.
Best thing about being over there is it’s less than a mile away from one of my favorite lunch spots:

Salmon, Red Snapper, And white Tuna sashimi

Chicken in Soy based Ramen

Some new sneakers came in the mail [emoji109]

Came home and headed to the gym to teach a few classes (how I’ve been wearing the Lefty to work [emoji12])

Came home a bit ago and cracked open a founders

That’s it for me

What do you teach at the gym?

[Max Power]

Great updates @apfaff!

@neph93 thanks a lot for the schedule - looks perfect to me.

By the way - i think it would be great if each participant would send a pin, button or the like along with the jacket. So when the tour is over you have some sort of personal mark.

@JDelage:

I am the co-owner of the first CrossFit branded studio in Baldwin County, Alabama. (Sadly, we are no longer the “only one” lol). I teach general group training as well personal weightlifting (Olympic and powerlifting) clients

Sweet dude. Nice set up. A friend of mine owns Charles river cross fit in Boston.

[Appfaff]

@matty123 - ballin, they have some outstanding facilities in Boston - I wish we had the population density to offer larger spaces, but we simply don’t have the people in our area.

Nice set up. It's good to have room.

What are those boxes next to the torture bikes?

I hear ya but you’re doing it man. I bet the work out is just as good at ur place as in that little “town”  of Boston… boston and I have issues.

They are “Jerk Blocks” - essentially if you do 5 sets of Overhead lifts near a max weight, you don’t want to drop the weights on the floor after every two and have to kick it back up and out into a squat rack. It lets you drop it on an elevated surface. They work great and we use them in rehab settings Lot as pulling blocks since they can be split up and lowered, so are great for people with back problems to do movements like deadlifts, snatches and cleans off blocks from a comfortable and pain free starting position

Nice set up Adam, where's the Iron Heart banner???

Funnily enough our oldest son and his mates were at home when I came home from work last night. I was wearing an iron heart tee and one of the boys asked if I got the tee shirt free from lifting heavy weights at my gym.

…I planted the seed of Japanese clothing with my explanation of what Iron Heart is..

[Appfaff]

Lol not sure I need my clients to know where their membership dues go [emoji23]
