Playing some bass, getting new living room furniture, drinking a bunch of Whistle Pig. Wife couldn’t hang (no pics, got mine lol).

Looking forward to best Christmas ever. I had been in a fog last year. Both parents died within 1.5 months of each other in late 2019. Though this COVID year has sucked all around, personally, I’m on the upswing. Lost 110 lb since Jan. and feeling like a beast.

Now for the good stuff, steak. Marinade the steak in red wine overnight. Put the steak on med heat (preferably grill). Baste (yes baste) the steak in my sauce (2 parts Worcestershire, three parts soy, one part garlic salt, one part onion powder) as you cook and turn every five minutes. Delicious!

Sure. Lanier set a precedent long ago for us shameless, self-promoting entrepreneurs I run a company that provides classic cars for weddings, events, TV & film across the Southeast. You meet a lot of interesting people. A few years ago when the photo of Kristen Saban's wedding departure made the national news (white Rolls-Royce driving down the field at BDS to fireworks), I was the one driving the car. Got another one coming up soon for a former Auburn QB. We have everything from Rolls to American convertibles to vintage taxis to rusty trucks. As far as the airplanes, we have a 1947 North American Navion which we use to fly between our collections around the South. Also volunteer a little for the Southern Museum of Flight in Bham who has all kind of interesting iron.

I just want to be the first to say, that is cool AF.

You need to post some pictures....

So you want to sneak me into the flight museum? I’d love to give a few of those aircraft a spin

Thank you Sir. It's work but it's fun.

Our little aeroplane

Rig - It can be arranged. Unfortunately most of the airplanes in the museum are static displays at this point and will never fly again. Still cool, though. You can still sit in them and make airplane noises. We have a DC-3 in particular I'd love to see fly again. It flew in. The car business is like a museum, but it's actually in motion. I admit that a flying aviation museum would be impractical, but I think history needs to move whenever possible.

Man that is impressive. That white Rolls and the Jag have been used a lot.

Do all the cars run or are they just props? And do you guys do the photography as well? Nicely done...

So good and so underrated. People go crazy for Blanton’s but I’d take Whistle Pig over it any day of the week.

That's awesome. I dig that Lincoln Continental, it's sexy.

Don't know much about the Navion, but I bet that aluminum takes some polishing to keep it pretty.

My father-in-law has a bunch of Model A's and has been in a fair amount of movies with them. Only one I can name of the top of my head is "Lawless." He has 4 in that movie and he's even in the gunfight seen.

Cool job. We've got a few folks here with some cool employment.

I have had some guys on my guide trips over the years that have had some wild jobs. It is always a topic to talk about on a 8 hour fishing trip.

Had a guy many years ago. We were talking and I asked him what he did for a living. He said "I play paintball". I was like, "No, I mean to pay your bills". He said, I play paintball.

I thought the guy was full of shite so that night, I searched on the internet. Dude played paintball. I mean all over the world. Big tournaments in almost every country.. I dont know why it was so hard to believe that is what he did but it was.

He eventually became the head guy for the biggest paintball association in the world. Promoting the sport and setting up big tournament with TV/ESPN etc.

He is still doing that today. Made a life out of it

If you can go to work everyday with a smile, you're doing it right.

I know COVID has really destroyed a bunch of folks' jobs and I truly am sorry and hope this economy bounces hard upward, COVID has made my dream job even better. Much of the BS melted away and now it's really the best.

Continuing my weekend party tonight. Hanging with friends with whiskey and brownies.

I’m glad I don’t have a real job.

Out to dinner with the wife and the youngest. Our waitress daughter is taking care of us tonight. Good times. Not much for Auburn fans to do tonight.

Ran 14 miles this AM. Felt pretty good and did 9 min miles which isn’t too bad considering the 700’ of climb in the route.

I couldn’t get there in a year. Getting old sucks and my joints don’t have that in them anymore.

I’m almost 50. Run with a couple of guys that are older than that. It’s all about getting out there.

I plan on losing another 10 lbs next year getting ready for a race. I’m already in the best shape of my life. 14 miles and my average HR was 160. Need to get faster.
