The Drive at 5

Makeshift video stand

I remain committed to making videos every single day for 2016. Some days there isn’t much happening. Today was one of those days. Some days I don’t have time to make something at home before I drive in to work. So I make the video on the drive. When I am in my car I have my XShot Mobile Phone Car Windshield Dash Mount (aff link). That is something that I can’t move from car to car because it is on so tight. The micro-suction makes for a perfect car mount.

I stopped for a coffee on the way in to work. I have been avoiding getting coffee at Honey Dew because I have a weakness for their Honey Dew cake-style donuts. That got me into big trouble, health-wise. I got complacent, miserable and made things worse by eating too many things that were definitely not good for me. So, now I can go and get a coffee now with some Stevia in it and I just have to be strong and not order a donut. That is a slippery slope.

Conversations in Cars with Curmudgeons

Hot Wheels Car

Today was an interesting one with regards to our life. There isn’t much I can say at this time because we are in the early stages of a thought. A good thought, a radical thought but at this time I want it to just be for us without any outside opinions or thoughts or influences. We have a lot to discuss but once things are discussed I’ll surely be expressing my full thoughts.

With my in-laws arriving soon I have been cleaning up the office. You’ve seen in previous vlogs and such. Because of this I’ve given a lot of thought to downsizing. We had the kids take a look at their toys and decide on 5 things that they do not play with. Andrew decided to give up the Hot Wheels car above. I could, of course, not give up a Hot Wheels car and so I went and grabbed to to add to my collection at work. So, I know I am the one with the worst habits for spending. Any evidence of that would be very well documented in my vlogs for this year. I think that the second half of the year will be a bit different with more focus on downsizing. It will be a challenge but we will see.

You might wonder how I recorded my vlog. I use the XShot Mobile Phone Car Windshield Dash Mount. This item has a great microsuction and hold my phone in place easily. I received this item for free as an influencer for Xshot.
