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

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.

What do you teach at the gym?
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.

@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.

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.

Nice set up. It's good to have room.
What are those boxes next to the torture bikes?
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..

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

Last few days have been fun, but busy.
Friday night, my wife had to work late, so the kids and I watched movies and had fried rice and “nachos” (just cheese on top of chips lol)
After the kids went to sleep, I had a martini
I took some photos of the jacket because they had been requested. The OD is crazy On this - so many different shades of black, purple and blue. My wife hardly notices my IH wardrobe, but even she agreed that this is super nice:
Yesterday, we had a rare “twin free” evening and went to a “new to us” restaurant in one of the historic neighborhoods of Mobile. They partner with the local culinary school, so prices are less than other upscale restaurants in the area because they have 2-3 student chefs helping in the kitchen at all times.
I had the “midtown sour”
Crab soup and ceaser
I had the duck and my wife had the pasta
Triple chocolate brownie
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Great update!

Thanks guys -
Last few days have been hard to get back to the grind for a full week, but here are some highlights.
Took the Land Cruiser to get a bath
Rocking the Lefty
Wife made Chilli, so I went Texan with it and made “frito pie” - does Europe have Fritos?
It was nasty and rainy out yesterday but we had a good workout programmed at the gym
Broke open some “Christmas wine” - I know nothing about this, but it was easily drinkable…
My whole “move back to Texas” plan hasn’t really been working out, so the wife and I are toying with the idea of snagging a historic home across the Bay in Mobile. Prices are crazy low, mainly because of the history of crime lol [emoji23], but homes are already doubling in price in some areas, so thinking about renting out our current home and having fun in the “hip” area for a few years. Here is one of the places we like, a 1918 Arts & Crafts with a garage office and a courtyard. Kinda cool and definitely different than we currently have. Breweries, skatepark and restaurants all within walking distance. Schools on the other hand… no bueno [emoji851]
Had early morning duty at the gym this AM, so taught some Power Cleans (funny enough, this lady was the vet that saved my dog Buddy’s life when we found him in the nearby farm a few years ago, and 3 years later she’s a client. I helped her get a Nismo 370Z a few months ago that she lets me drive every once and a while - small world lol)
Breakfast when I got home - carbs are the most underrated food group IMHO LOL [emoji23]
Thanks for hangin!

I apologize for the lack of updates this week, it has been insane - my wife was handed a failing account to try and turn around so it’s been me
And the kids running around all week.Aside from my normal WAYWT pics, here are some I’ve snagged over the last few days
Rocking the lefty to run errands. I SERIOUSLY love this jacket.
Yesterday was ROUGH. Had to break out the good stuff:
Blanton’s in the Mignon Faget Glass. For those who are not from New Orleans, Mignon Faget makes really beautiful NOLA inspired housewares. These were a gift from my roommate in college for our wedding. He was from NOLA and his folks were like my second parents. They did a lot for me, so I always use these glasses when sipping decent whiskey.More of the Haint Blue IPA - this is seriously good beer that actually comes from Mobile. After multiple decades of terrible beer coming out of local Mobile, AL breweries, it’s a godsend to actually have decent beer to brag to my friends in Texas about haha [emoji23]
@Clint_D - I owe you a 6 pack of this stuff next time In in Austin [emoji41]
While my wife is working, and the kids are asleep, I’m catching up on my favorite show - “Fresh Off The Boat” - my wife can’t stand it, so it’s my only chance!
