The 888 Fatboy Chocolate World Tour

There must always be XL-XXL/34-36” waist tours. It’s where the majority of us are. But I feel sorry for all the waifs and twinks. They need representation too.
Ya know when I read twink…. I figured it was a mistake... I gave you a pass. I will not make that mistake again.

Getting ready for my second Olympic triathlon. Did a quick practice open water swim with one of my buddies from the 5am group that I ride with. Getting Pumped!!
Oh, and that’s my boy River! He’s the man!

Post race cruise around Sunriver with the family. Sunriver is out near Bend in Central Oregon. It’s a beautiful high desert at around 4500 ft elevation.
As for the Race I did a pretty good job of beating my last years time… I swam the same time as last year, shaved 9 minutes off the bike course, 12 minutes off the run and about 2 minutes in transition. For a total of 23 minutes faster! Pictures will follow in the next couple days..

It was a pretty brutal race but super fun none the less. Next year a bunch of us are planning on doing the Boulder Colorado half Ironman… not sure how I feel about that yet..
here’s a few more snaps from last night then some of the race.

Couple snaps at T2
A few on the run and coming into the finish line with my boy River! He loved it!!
My sister and her husband raced too
Here’s a picture with my father in law. He was basically my coach Thru the training process. Couldn’t have beat my previous time by that much without him!

We left Sunriver and continued North East to Joseph, Oregon yesterday. My dads family owns some acreage in Joseph and they built a cabin on it in the 50’s now there’s 4 cabins on the property. I helped frame, roof and side our cabin in 2012. It’s still a work in progress but mostly complete. Projects in Portland keep us from finishing it…

Thanks @Aetas! Trying to make it fun!
Got a few awkward shots in front of Wallowa Lake yesterday before my father in law and I swam 1700 Yards. It was COLD! Even with a wetsuit. The whole lake is fed from glacial run off out of the Eagle Cap Wilderness. Oregon is a pretty beautiful place if you have time to drive around a bit!
Current state of the Jeans
A quick snap inside the cabin from last night. Will try to get better pictures during the day today.

This is a little slice of heaven on earth for our family! We spend as much time up here as we can! Unfortunately it’s not enough time [emoji26]

Thanks Adam. We are pretty blessed! My grandfather started buying up property out here in the 50’s and that’s why we have it today.

Wait a minute. You did all of that stone work? It’s beautiful.

I didn’t do any of the fire boxes or the main flue work. But I did help with about 80% of the river rock. Oh and did I mention that all the river rock used was free and local to this area… quite a few of the stones had to be craned in. It was a tedious and meticulous project. Also, back breaking!

Very smart man.
My grandfather did something similar when he got laid off at 37 years old with 4 kids.
He bought two (large but terrible) parcels of land, developed them himself, and owner financed nearly every house in there. Kept him from working a day past 45 up until his passing at 80, and my grandmother still gets mortgage checks from refinance notes.
I think the older generation oftentimes had more foresight than we do…
