Last week I took a trip to Morocco with my two boys, we did a roadtrip, starting in Marakesh and whent all the way to the Sahara and came back trough the Atlas mountains. Here are some photo's.
I was quite nervous to travel solo with em but It's been a wonderfull experience!
Went on a 3 day trip to Irland, drove the Ring of Kerry, image taken at Torc Waterfall. The whole trip was wonderfull!

like you, I'm on a similar path. In the last "Ironcast" episode, @Blowoutthecobwebs spoke about a Netflix series called 'the minimalists' that I actually watched a couple years ago when it just came out and while the guys voice is quite annoying what he said still sticks with me to this day.
My wife left me in the beginning of last year and despite it being an emotional shitstorm, it also gave me the opportunity to start fresh. Half my house was empty and I could chose if I wanted to replace something or not. Instead of just going to Ikea and getting the same items, I'm taking my time living with less stuff and found out I rarely miss anything. If I do have to buy something, I'm going for the best item to serve my purpose.
As for clothes, the biggest thing that got me to reduce my wardrobe is to only buy black clothes. (with the exception of my 21/23OZ because IH doesn't make that in black YET)
Going into the city center, I see so many people aimlessly shopping around trying to fill some sort of void that it's really making me sad sometimes. Or going into stores like H&M or Zara and seeing all that crap clothing just waiting to be worn once and thrown out, all the labor and effort for people who don't need it... We give cars such a bad rep for ruining the planet, and nobody bats an eye about people throwing out 81 pounds of clothing each year, it blows my mind.
Anyway, I always have an eye open for interesting stuff, but rarely do I buy something now because I 'need it' and that helps keep my focus on what's most important: my kids.
been lurking here for a while, thought I'dd make my first contribution.
I'm a single dad with a 5 and a 7y old and while they can be a hand full, I never thought I would enjoy being a dad this much. Didn't realy like kids before (still don't exept my own tbh)
A couple tips I wish I knew earlier:
@SKT a little secret road that you deff want do take when doing the Ring of Kerry is called 'Priest's Leap'.
Question for Haraki-San:
Are you aware that the quality and fit of IH products is so good, some of your customers are simply unable to purchase clothes from any other brand?

@neph93 holy shit, your bread looks soo good
Latest build: not Lego but Mega Blocks Cybertruck 3800+ build. Nice model with cool features but the build itself was a bit boring.
@goosehd I noticed, but no Lego specific tread yet
Hey everyone,
Since most of the stuff that I'm into already has their own topic, I'm quite surprised to see that Lego doesn't have one. Maybe that's because I'm the only one here with this hobby, we'll see
I started doing Lego’s when I was a young kid, about 5-6j old at the time. I quickly got really fond of the Technic sets and could spend hours on end building, tearing down and rebuilding. Usually until I knew the instructions by hart.
Over the last couple of years, I found myself looking for something to occupy my idle hands and ended up revisiting this hobby. I've have since been pursuing quite a few big Lego technic builds with a general interest in some of the other Lego models as well. (Like 10327 Dune ornithopter build from the Icons series)
My kids are also fascinated with em and every time they see me work on a build the want to help out and usually take over the build for a couple of hours.
In a world where toys are almost always plastic throwaways, I find something like a Lego set quite refreshing, a toy that can be built over and over again, played with from one generation to the next and is virtually unbreakable. Also, you wouldn’t believe the prices on some of the vintage sets. Which can make holding on to your favorite set for a couple of years quite the good investment.
This is one of my latest builds:
Lego 'racers' 8653 Ferrarri Enzo from 2005
Anyone here also working on something?
