The 888 Fatboy Chocolate World Tour
-
I won’t let you down @Seul !!
Since the WTJ were drying from last nights run through the washer, it was normal coaching attire for me opening up the gym this morning for sessions at 5:30, 6:30, and 8am
Today we did some 500m sprints on the Concept2 Ski-Erg followed by some Bench Press work
After classes, I headed home to some sick kids.
If you remember from my first leg of the tour, I acquired a relatively derelict 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser. Proud to say I’m still “Cruisin” to this day (albeit the AC died for the third time since my ownership, so it might not be parked in my driveway much longer haha)
Got home and prepared the WTJ for battle!
And finally - the fit pic (I desperately need a pair of these now - they fit me much better now that I’m about 15lbs lighter)
We are in the middle of finishing up our annual “Vacation Guide” for my marketing job - so just doing some copy editing:
Gotta go run errands and grab dinner and drinks later, so will update again tonight!

Awesome update. Almost like watching “scenes from last week” before the newest episode of your favorite show

Cheers gents!
I have a big presentation today, and I always feel weird carrying my GoRuk into business meetings, so I went searching for a new briefcase to carry all my files in.
A few shots of a little street in my town (we moved to Downtown Fairhope back in August)
The shop that I usually go to (and usually has Healthy stock of Filson bags was out, so I drove south east about 25 minutes:
Managed to find what I needed
My wife knew my mind had been wrapped around this meeting I have today, so she told me to head to dinner by myself and clear my mind:
Then the WTJ and myself got soaked running back to the truck!
Seriously love being back in these. A pair will be inbound before my leg is through I assure you.
That’s it for now, gettin cleaned up and heading to Destin, so I’ll have plenty of fun beach shots for later!

Well, photos from my quick trip to Florida was a bust due to the rain and a rather rushed schedule, but got a few snaps of our land on my way!
A rural Alabama highway:
Some tunage for the drive:
Driving over the bridge into Niceville Florida (it rained the whole way there…) :
After rushing to make it back to open the gym, we got afternoon classes rolling:
While i was in a suit most of the day, changed into the WTJ once at the gym to celebrate the weekend!
Detail shot:
Came home and caught up on some Paw Patrol episodes with the twins:
Hope everyone is having a great start to the weekend!

Great stuff as usual @Appfaff

Thanks @Matty123 !
Yesterday was a busy Saturday as usual for us. Kids have been under the weather for the last week and have been getting cabin fever, so my wife took them out and about while I worked on some big projects for work.
My office set up featuring some unique contemporary style artwork my grandfather had collected:
Here is the house we bought in August. It’s a 1970s Trilevel that lives a lot like a Stacked townhome or condo. Almost half of the SF we had at our old home, but only about 6 blocks away from the Bay and about a 7 minute walk to parks for the kids:
My backyard which needs a lot of work lol
Our lot of super deep and actually extends about 60 more feet behind the fence, but we wanted to keep a green screen from the easement behind us for privacy.
Took a break and let Avery take my heartbeat lol
Giving daphne (our pit-lab) a check up
Finally found some decent Texas beer at my local market:
Off to go hold an open house, so will give a tour of our Northern side of town later today!
Cheers

She’s totally the [emoji73] of the house!
Yesterday was another bust for photos since it rained non stop and ruined my open house…
Anyways, came back worked on some projects some more, but not without some beer!
Here is the entry to the house i held open yesterday - bummed no one came by to see me, but our rain is so torrential, no one willfully goes out!
More sitting…
This morning, I had to go into my office, which is down in Gulf Shores - it’s about 36 miles away, but it all back roads, so it takes about 50 minutes to get there. Not a terrible drive, but annoying none the less…
Here are some shots during my drive:
We are not lacking in trees…
The polo fields:
It was kind of chilly this morning:
Finally got to the office and getting back to work!
Bonus WTJ shot:
Hope everyone is having a great Monday!

Preserved, those Porsches are not!
Had a crazy day yesterday, and sadly none of it was celebrating Mardi Gras
The WTJ has a great time reading the best child’s boom of all time to the twins [emoji23]
My wife made some paleo chicken tenders
Had a decent IPA
Enjoyed a croissant sandwich for breakfast today:
Had to go buy a new suit (or two…)
Enjoyed a night drive back from Florida
Sorry for the crap photo lol

Sorry for the lack of posts last week - felt like a headless chicken running around the last week or so!
This weekend was busy, but wanted to show you guys more of my little town by the Bay.
Here is an architectural tour of Downtown Fairhope - and some more photos of Daphne for @Seul [emoji190]
Fairhope was originally founded in the late 1800s, but the big boom was the 1930s-1960s. Which means there is a lot of creole inspired cottages and MCM type ranch homes.
Most older properties that have not been historically preserved have been torn down and big coastal craftsman homes put on the lots:
Took the kids to the neighborhood park
Had a bubble fight yesterday afternoon:
Hope everyone had a great weekend!

This last week was pretty busy as we prepared to welcome my business partner home from his recent deployment in the Middle East.
We ended up with a sick kid on Tuesday, who came and hung out with me at the gym :
Luckily he felt better by Wednesday, so I could go pick up my new driveway addition:
Celebrated March Birthdays at my office with a good old fashioned sheet cake:
My wife started making “overnight oats” for us to grab and run in the mornings and it turned out great!
Went to breakfast before class with my staff and grabbed a tasty Americano (extra shot, of course)
Had some decent beers this week:
Went out to eat Thursday night with some friends/clients and had some amazing cheesy bread lol
About to head off to Alys Beach, Florida with the wife for the night. It’s a really cool area I’ve been wanting to check out:
