It was so great to finally meet everyone, so glad we finally made the trip! Thanks again to the crew for organizing and making the party happen!

We finally finished out our Airbnb #2 on our small East Austin property. It was originally built out as a garage in 1953 but this is the current state of it:

Got a cedar partition up this weekend and got a few more TX native plants in the ground:

Got this delivered the other day:

@Matt was this taken in front of your house? Do you have the iconic Baltimore marble steps?

I was in good company today dropping off for some warranty work:

I picked these up for the missus at the NB Outlet, got them for $60 out the door:

That visit would have been real dangerous if they had anything worthwhile in a size 11.

Tile work starts today!

Flights and accommodations have finally been secured!

I had the opportunity to do another BMW M Track Day at Circuit of the Americas yesterday. Here's a little clip of the fastest run on the main straight where we were hitting mid 150's mph. The instructor was giving me shit about running out of talent and real estate at the end but it was a great time!

Looks like the missus and I might actually be able to sure make it! Any advice on getting from London to Gosport? Looking to spend a day or two in London then make the journey to Gosport.

Great episode @Matt and @Olly! I feel inspired by Matt and Katie's early "retirement".

I may or may not have made a huge mistake but I've got a lifted Cayenne Diesel inbound from LA which should arrive on Monday. Pictures incoming.

Also, @Matt, trucks are stupid expensive right now, I never thought I'd see that day where 1/2 ton trucks are $80k but here we are. Prices are coming down but I expect them to be ridiculous for at least another year. You can see that some dealers are hurting with inventory sitting on the lot but most haven't accepted that the COVID price gouging party is over.

It typically costs me ~$300 in order to have prescription tinted lenses fitted. That's with trivex lenses, anti-reflective coating and custom color tint.

I'm pretty sure that cap was made from the same wabash as the IHSH-55 run of wabash material like G was saying. I'm pretty sure I have a pair of cut off 811's like Giles' pair somewhere though not nearly as well faded!

Well said @popvulture! I was fortunate enough to elope with my wife. We were married by a judge in Swede Hill pocket park near downtown Austin and we had threw a party a few months later on Valentine's day for friends and family. The party was stressful (and expensive) enough and I can't imagine the challenges that a big ceremony would present! Congrats on surviving the tempest @Mizmazzle, hoping for smooth roads ahead for y'all!

Haha, might become a closet one day but for now we're planning on moving it onto a property we're planning on renovating/building in Wimberley, TX. For now it will mostly just store tools and building supplies and a lawnmower.

@Clint_D what @tody said

Got both of y'all covered, shirts are stashed next to my luggage already!

Looking forward to finally meeting you in person Stevie!

@Tago-Mago I think we’re on the same train! We’re on the 13:30 train from Waterloo.
