An 8th Birthday to remember running around Lego land discovering roller coasters. Love you Sawyer. You are a carbon copy of your dad 😂

Getting the Tundra cleaned back up after 80k trouble free miles. While having the Tundra in for regular service the dealer asked if I wanted to address the recalled engine and said they had a new engine there, ready to be installed. They gave me a brand new 4 door Tacoma to borrow and spent 3 days replacing the engine, the brakes, all 4 tires, the differentials and more. It was a full chassis removal, dropping the winch and the bumper. The engine was free but I paid about $3k in parts and labor. I got the truck back feeling almost new again.

Moment of silence for my impact socket who now rest along side two separate air pod headphones, a spider co knife, a pry bar, 3 tape measures, a chisel, a piece of hand railing and the large magnet I got to try to retrieve all of the stuff that also fell in 😭

Really proud of how this thing is turning out. It hasn’t been easy whatsoever but damn is it rewarding to close the chapter on rebuilding the rotten gunnels. I’ve never done anything like this whatsoever, I’m figuring out every step a long the way and learning as I go. The wood working has been physically and mentally exhausting, with endless surprises and set backs. As a natural defense mechanism, the exotic hard wood itself actually burns your skin and eyes as you work with it, as if working in the Florida heat wasn’t grueling enough. But when the day comes that this boat is floating near a sunny beach, the sun shining down on my family while we enjoy time together in nature, it will all be worth it.

Can’t believe I got this done. I’m not even kidding when I tell you that this boat and I have been incredibly intimate these past few days. I got to know her in ways I only know my wife. It will literally take a week or more to recover from how hard this boat just fu**ed me up. I prayed for mercy many times, begged even. It was ugly, filthy, bloody and sweaty… but hey guess who’s going fishing with the boys in the Florida Keys next weeeeeeeek!!! I’m talking TIGHT LINES FOR DAYS 🎣

Well it’s officially been a year of ownership of our 60 foot expedition trawler.. and it hasn’t left the dock haha I still don’t even know if it will run on its own power or if I will be able to drive it on my own. But, that’s the way these things go, we are staying positive and enjoying the process of bringing her back to life!

Coming up on a full year of ownership on this big liveaboard trawler. The worst is finally behind us, the last of the soft spots in the deck are replaced and sealed up tight! There is still so much to do, but I’m appreciating every moment on the water working as a family to bring this ship back to life.

If you’re always climbing the mountain, but never stop to appreciate the view, then what’s the point? I personally struggle with this. I’m naturally ambitious and pack my schedule beyond what’s humanly possible, then time slips by and I feel upset that I worked straight through vital years in my life and come to regret it later. The solution I have found is not necessarily to curb ambition or strive to achieve less, but to focus on being present every day. I set big goals and a reasonable timeline, then work backwards from there to schedule out my monthly, weekly and daily tasks, then I just keep chipping away while trying to stay in the present moment. I try to appreciate all that I have achieved each day, while knowing that with steady progress I will arrive at my goals eventually. This removes the obsession of “what’s next” while enjoying the life that’s right in front of me that I’ve already worked so hard for.
