The 888 Fatboy Chocolate World Tour
-
I finished reading this entire thread to catch up on the Fatboy Choco World Tour - I wanted to say thanks to all that have participated and put so much into making this an awesome thing to read. You all make this a great place to be and it’s awesome getting some insight into all of your lives. I consider each and every member of the forum a friend, and if anyone ever makes it to Northwest Ohio, please let me know.
And I am thankful to have stumbled my way into this tour. Thank you for thinking of me, Brock! And thank you guys for following along so far and for the kind words! I will try my best to keep the bar set high.

Day 3: Sherwood, Ohio: Population 827
This is my hometown — here is where Ohio 18 meets US 127. Not even a “one stoplight town” we just have a flashing red light here.
On the corner are our village grocer, 2 gas stations, The Apache Dairy Bar - our local ice cream parlor and sandwich shop, and our business.
While taking these photographs a guy I know pulls up to the stop sign and asks “what are you doing out here man, trying to sell yourself?” lol!

I would have asked him “ why do you ask?? Are you buying??” Lol
Possible propositioning? Well never know

Day 4 ended with my wife and I going to our church parish picnic. It’s quite a lot of fun for those young and old and the water slide is always a huge hit with everyone. There’s also a whole hog roast and cornhole! (Is cornhole strictly a US thing?? As in the yard game you pervs!)
I have a large family with 4 siblings, 14 nephews, 8 nieces, and counting. We’re catholic, does that explain it? [emoji6](as in we like to drink a lot and have unprotected sex)
Here’s some shots of me going down the slide with 2 of my nephews on my back and my brother driving the caravan with 5 of our family’s little ones and my one armed brother-in-law in tow.
Also an old fashioned “IH” boy, although a little different, but not so much. He’s got some roping going on those hems!

Day 5 was very busy at work. I wore the Choco Fattys and the IHSH-16ss. I don’t get too many hat trick days in my line of work but today was one of them so I was ready for a celebratory beer when I got home.
My wife and I went for Mexican dinner with some of our family and in true fatboy fashion, went for ice cream after at Coldstone Creamery.

Days 6-9 were a blur at work and home.
I part own and operate a truck and RV dealership with my dad and brother and it’s been an incredibly busy year so far.
My wife has a huge family as well and they have an annual family reunion at Manapogo Park in Orland, Indiana. We are taking 2 RVs off our lot, one for us and one for her grandparents.
So I’ve been really busy selling and getting RVs ready for this weekend, but I’ll get some good downtime this weekend on Lake Pleasant drinking lots of beer and being a total glutton, in proper fat boy fashion.

This last week and weekend were very busy at work and home — we celebrated my wife’s birthday by going to 4KD Crick Brewery in Defiance, Ohio. I enjoyed 2 pints of Ole Ransom R.I.S. which is 11.something% and a good beer. I had pulled pork and slaw which is one of my all time favorites and a fatty special!
One of my best friends from college got ahold of me saying he was going to come over with his son on Friday and spend the weekend (1.5 hr drive) I thought he was joking until he showed up Friday evening! He told me not to mess around with him about that because he “has the balls to do it” lol. His wife is one of my wife’s best friends and had to work so I think he saw it as an opportunity for some bro time.
He works as a park ranger for Ohio Dept. of Natural Resources and is a hard working dude - so we spent a lot of time working on woods trails and getting the fire pit area ready, as well as drinking lots of beer and other antics. We went on a late night forest adventure and admired the complexity of a spider web and the magic of a glowing hot coal.
My friend Troy is a great guy and I hope to get him on the IH train one day, or at least gift him a 33 or Type III. He likes to be called T-Nasty because it takes him back to his college track star days. He is not a fat boy though, haha!
On Sunday we spent time with my family riding four wheelers and golf carts around, swimming in the pool, and eating lots of BBQ chicken!
