        The eagle has RE-landed in the Pfaff-abode!

        Excited to show everyone my new “hood” over the next few weeks!

        While the jacket wasn’t in my possession, it was at my local post office yesterday, so I’ll share how the family rung in the new year [emoji322]

        First off, some back story…

        In April, I hung up the “jack of trades” world for a single employment Gig as the Director of Marketing for the top Real Estate brokerage in Northwest Florida - while we serve from
        Destin to Panama City Beach, our bread and butter are the enchanting beach communities along Scenic Highway 30A. If you have ever seen a bright blue sticker on someone’s back window with a yellow sun and “30A” on it - that’s us.

        Here are the shots of the area from our 8 mile bike ride with the kiddos along the coast.

        Alys Beach (new urbanism community styled after Bermudian Architecture)

        Rosemary Beach (Developed to look like a Hybrid of New Orleans and “Havana” with some Dutch influence.

        Walton County Florida is one of the only places in the world with “coastal dune lakes,” where the Gulf of Mexico literally overflows and runs j to huge sand dune basins, and creates lakes.

        This is the wife, overlooking Camp Creek lake, with homes from Watersound Beach in the background

        Proof of Delivery!

        Thanks for the Goodies DK!!

        Fits better than ever:

        Wife and I are on a keto kick, which is easier to do now that I dont work 17 jobs lol

        Bonus pic of Grayson (my boy twin) from NYE

        More to come!!!

              Being back in the ODL was awesome! Last time I had it was right after I launched the 888 tour, so my updates were not as rampant, but I’m going to do my best to recap everyday, since there is a lot of new and different stuff for the group now!

              Back in 2017/2018, I was busy with a Lot of rods in the fire - these days, the roles in our household have switched - my wife works from home, and I have a (seemingly) 8-5 office gig.

              So I start my days out at 4:35am waking up and heading to the gym. No, it’s not a CrossFit gym, but it’s been a nice change of pace just listening to my body and having some fun doing whatever I want lol

              Had to throw the Left over the normal lululemon garb [emoji41]

              Tunes on the way

              I usually bike for 10-20 minutes to warm up and watch some hot rod restoration shows lol

              Obligatory gym selfie

              I usually come home, clean up, and make the family breakfast. THE AFTERMATH:

              Some of my daily beard care

              Then I drive the kids to school. They go to a little “hippie” school tucked behind some trees two blocks from the beach, so I took some shots of “Blue Mountain Beach” on our way

              Their school:

                I stopped by one of the public beach access points to give you guys a little glimpse - it’s pretty spectacular living down here

                Got to work and snapped a fit pic

                Part of my job is to make my people laugh, so I shared this meme to our group page (anyone in sales can relate)

                After dinner (sorry, no pics) I had a little cocktail

                Wife was feeling bad, so I hung with the kiddos and tucked them in. But first, badass night light:

                That’s it for today! Off to explore the state parks with a little hike, so should get some great pics tomorrow!!

                Cheers,

                Adam

                        I gave my shares back to my business partner and he decided to pursue full time military and closed the doors.

                        I have a CF gym in my garage, but with twin 4 year olds at home, leaving is the only way to “guarantee” a workout. I still do 2-3 WODs with my wife each week usually, but nothing as cool or fun as at an actual affiliate.

                        Yes, it’s quite a pretty place! Our house is about 1000m from the Bay as well, so I’ll be sure to give some updates from dog walks 🙂

                          Day 2 in the OD Lefty was filled with fun - we took the kiddos and explored one of the sections of nature trails north of Seagrove Beach - maybe more easily thought of as the Watercolor area.

                          Started off by heading to the gym, and then coming home and making breakfast. Saturdays allow me to be a bit more creative

                          After cooking, we hung out and watched cartoons - Avery being goofy!

                          We went and explored the nature trails - which was both a both, and “testing” experience for the kiddos, but they handled a 3 mile trek like champs!

                            After our hiking adventure we went out to eat with my father in law - they were out of the wings we like (smoked chicken wings) so I promised the wife to make some at homes... mine were far superior to any other wing available!



                            Enjoyed this awesome DIPA from @DK

                            Made princess dress figurines with Avery

                            Fit pic!

                            Finished the night off relaxing to one of my favorite records - really for no reason other than nostalgia, and it being the soundtrack to a lot of my adolescent learnings:

                            Hope everyone had a great Saturday!!

                                    When we moved into our house, we made the concession of taking on a reno project for a fraction of the cost of new construction in order to be in the neighborhood we wanted.

                                    Luckily, I have been able to do nearly all the work myself aside from building new white oak stair treads, and shaping/installing new countertops.

                                    Here is a little taste of the “before”

                                    I didn’t even bother taking photos of the brown carpet they used throughout, including on the stairs, but here are some updated pics of everything I have done, including building a new (larger) kitchen island:

                                    I tore out all the carpet and installed greycast oak laminate (the quote for real wood for the remainder of the house was unreal!), and did have the stairs redone by a professional (who did a knock out job)

                                    I also added some industrial flair with a cool steel cable system in the loft (4 years olds and open loft spaces are not ideal) and a big fan

                                    Here is the exterior - we will be painting it white later this year, and we trimmed back all the plants we put in when we redid the beds for the winter - they call these “raised Florida cottages”

                                    My favorite feature - my island [emoji7]

                                    We had a busy day cutting down trees, so more updates to follow after my meetings this AM 🙂

                                      Great great work Adam.  Seriously, what the fuck was the point of this?  It must have been made from a left-over piece of countertop.  There is no other reason for it being so pitifully inadequate….. 🙂

                                        @Giles - seriously!!! It was a total waste and didn’t match up to the other edges which totally bothered me - all fixed and clean now!

                                        01.05.2020 continued…

                                        So we had a tree in the lot next to ours (undeveloped) scraping our metal roof during storms and making a terrible noise - after a crazy quote from a tree company to remove the tree, we decided to just fix the problem ourselves...

                                        Off to Home Depot we went!

                                        But first, coffee:

                                        White coffee was brewing, let the little man strum away on the vintage acoustic

                                        Snagged me a ladder!

                                        Started cleaning the area a bit

                                        ACTION SHOT in some ancient SRs

                                        RESULT

                                        And more carnage for the big magnolia in our backyard

                                        Earned some lunch - my version of a Power bowl, done keto style with spinach, smoked sausage, and an egg with sesame.

                                        Felt like I earned this lol

                                        Cleaned up and enjoyed rockin on the porch while the wife ran an errand with the kiddos

                                        Started the grill to do some meal prep of chicken

                                          Enjoyed a nice cocktail on the porch

                                          I got this smoking thing down

                                          Little dude woke up from a nap And enjoyed some pizza and scooby doo - if only my nights were as easy going!

                                          Then I made a cheesy smoked chicken bake for the wife and I for dinner



                                          After dinner, ran out for some Keto Ice Cream [emoji509]

                                          That about wraps it up for yesterday!

                                          Hope everyone has a great Monday!
