i swear i had 3 bbq’s in the past week! eating meat, meat, and meat. last night was at Reid’s house and i ate and drank more than i wanted to. felt like a pig before i slept last night.

how could you not eat, eat, and eat? good food, good friends, good drinks, good talk, and good laughs.

ate some chicken noodle soup yesterday for lunch. healthy and happy.

then had a pork bowl for lunch today. i think i better eat some vegetables soon. too much meat and i’m feeling pretty heavy now.
more perfect summer days on the way. i just checked my schedule and i don’t have a day off in a very very long time. but hey, i’m in the ocean so no complaints here.

Ford: $50k or $500k?

it’s so crazy that Travel and Leisure Magazine named Nihiwatu Resort the #1 hotel in the world for 2016. now i’m even happier i went there in april so i could experience the #1 hotel in the world. score!

was at ala moana and seen some classic ford cars. this one cost $500,000. omg!
IMG_1523
i thought it was pretty cool. BUT,

this car caught my eye. a classic ford mustang. this one will cost around $50,000. so if i had a choice between both cars, i would choose this mustang.

and i’m always fascinated with engines. this one was so clean.

48 webbers? cool!

this is the inside.

so when my dream of having a house with a 10 car garage comes true, i’d probably have a classic mustang in my collection.
