Thanks for that Bob, my build has stalled this summer all for good reasons
Have to confess I squandered my free time this summer by enjoying too many enjoyable man cave building distractions
Humanitarian trip to Ukraine, Mrs Ahab and I drove our faithful old Toyota 4Runner filled with medical supplies to Ukraine, donated it to be used on the frontline as a snatch ambulance
Enjoyed a week holidaying in Cornwall with my whole family celebrating my mum's 80th birthday
Another weeks holiday enjoying our other home in Slovenia including a day trip in Italy
Another humanitarian trip delivering my other family 4x4 SUV to Ukraine, even found time spent for a day driving around the countryside sightseeing there too
Then back home for a day of work
Needed a rest from work so jetted off the next day for some long over due Mrs Ahab and me time, visiting the Seychelles, it rained a lot but the islands have the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen
As we couldn't agree between ourselves on would we rather see the Seychelles or Mauritius Mrs Ahab came up with the best example of woman's math, we should do both in one trip as it would be cheaper on flights
Seychelles made the beaches in Mauritius look average but the food in Mauritius was better than the Seychelles
Then back home for a day, last day of work at Alpine F1on this, special edition Alpine A110, spent the little work time I did trying to bring F1 carbon fibre quality up to road car aesthetic quality which is a lot more difficult than it sounds
Following day I was on a plane to Japan for a business trip which will have a quick Germany business trip in the middle of my Japan business trip
So when I should have been making progress on my man cave build, I've been driving and flying around the world, seeing 12 countries, some more than once, 4 of them new too
I did however find a spare few days to assemble my triple stacker car lift which I'll share in my next man cave progress update
