As we arrived at the Daytona International Speedway, we were given an exclusive access to a suite that offered fantastic food and drinks right at the finish line. This was the perfect way to experience the race as we had front row seats to all the action. The atmosphere in the suite was electric and the energy was palpable as the cars zoomed past us.

During the race, we visited friends at the inner circle where they had an RV and camping site. This was a unique and exciting experience as we got up on the RV to watch the firework show with the cars racing around. The roar of the engines was music to our ears and the firework display was a sight to behold.

The Rolex 24 At Daytona is not just a car race, it’s a celebration of speed, endurance and precision. The race has a rich history and has borne the names of several sponsors over the years. Since 1992, the Rolex Watch Company has been the title sponsor of the race, and winning drivers of all classes receive a Rolex Daytona watch, adding to the prestige of the event.

The Rolex 24 At Daytona is also known as a leg of the informal Triple Crown of endurance racing along with the 12 Hours of Sebring and 24 Hours of Le Mans. This adds to the prestige of the event, making it an essential stop for car racing enthusiasts.

Ipe Wood Outdoor Shower with Water House

Today I finished a new addition to the outdoor shower in my house. I have integrated a water hose into the beautiful teak woodwork, placed just below the seat of the shower. This new feature allows for greater convenience and versatility while showering outside.

The water hose blends seamlessly into the wooden design and adds a rustic yet modern touch to the overall aesthetic. It also makes it easy to clean and rinse off after showering.

I am thrilled with how the new feature turned out and can’t wait to use it. The integration of the water hose into the teak woodwork not only adds functionality but also enhances the overall look of the outdoor shower. It is a small addition that makes a big difference in the overall experience.

Today marks the beginning of a new project for me, as I embark on the journey of designing and building a brand new patio. I have always had a passion for home improvement and outdoor living spaces, and I am excited to put my skills and creativity to the test.

My design for this patio includes a number of luxurious features, such as a sleek canopy to provide shade on sunny days, a sturdy structure to withstand any weather, and linear lights to create a warm and inviting atmosphere at night. I am also incorporating an outdoor kitchen, complete with all the amenities necessary to host the ultimate backyard barbecue.

I have been working on the 3-D design of the patio, and I am pleased with how it is coming together. I have attached a photo of the smooth stucco finish and the linear lights that will add a touch of elegance to the space. I can already envision the many memories that will be made on this patio.

While the patio is not quite finished yet, I am already thinking about the next steps. Once it is completed, I plan to sit around a gas fire pit with my cigars and enjoy the beautiful view. The thought of hosting a dinner party with friends and family, or simply relaxing with a book and a glass of wine on a lazy Sunday afternoon, fills me with excitement.

I am looking forward to the challenges and rewards that this project will bring, and I am excited to see the final result. I will be sure to keep this journal updated with my progress, and I look forward to sharing the finished product with all of you.

Today was an exciting day as I visited the location of an upcoming restaurant concept in the Dr Phillips neighborhood, on Sand Lake. The restaurant will be called Chima Steakhouse and it will feature high-end steaks and a beautiful covered outdoor seating area.

The location is perfect, situated on a busy street with plenty of foot traffic. The building itself has great curb appeal and I can already envision the Chima Steakhouse sign lit up at night, drawing in customers.

I took a photo of the building and the outdoor seating area, which is surrounded by lush greenery. The covered seating area will be a great feature for diners who want to enjoy a meal al fresco, while also being protected from the elements. I also took a photo of the beautiful landscaping that will be planted around the seating area.

I am confident that Chima Steakhouse will be a welcomed restaurant where people can come and enjoy a delicious steak in a sophisticated and elegant setting.

Today was a productive day in the garden. I decided to create a holder for a dragon fruit plant that will be planted in the back garden for my wife. She has been wanting to add some tropical fruits to our garden and dragon fruit seemed like a perfect fit.

I started by designing the holder in 3-D using a computer program. It was a bit challenging as it was my first time using the software, but I was able to figure it out with some trial and error. The holder will have a unique design, featuring a spiral shape that will allow the dragon fruit to grow and climb up the holder.

After completing the design, I exported it to the 3-D printer. Watching the printer work was fascinating, seeing the design come to life piece by piece. It took a few hours for the holder to be fully printed, but it was worth the wait. The final product looked exactly how I imagined it would, and I couldn’t wait to put it to use.

Next, I prepared a 4×4 post and dug a hole for it in the planter box. I inserted the post into the hole and then securely attached the 3-D printed holder to the post. The holder looked great, and I knew it would be the perfect support for the dragon fruit plant.

Finally, I planted the dragon fruit in the planter box and watered it. It was now ready for its new home and I couldn’t wait to see it grow and produce delicious fruit. I know my wife will be thrilled when she sees it, and I’m happy to have been able to make her dream a reality.

Overall, it was a fun and rewarding experience creating the holder and I am looking forward to seeing the dragon fruit plant thrive in its new home. I am also excited to use the 3-D printer for more projects in the future.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been making waves in the design industry in recent years, with AI-generated artwork being one of the most exciting developments. This technology allows designers to create unique and visually stunning pieces that would be difficult or impossible to create using traditional methods.

One recent example of an AI-generated artwork for a kitchen concept design is a blue and orange color scheme. The use of bold, contrasting colors in this design creates a dynamic and energetic atmosphere, making it a perfect choice for a modern kitchen.

The AI algorithm used to create this artwork was trained on a vast dataset of kitchen design images, allowing it to understand the aesthetic principles and trends in this field. This enabled the AI to generate a design that is both visually appealing and functional.

The blue and orange color scheme is a perfect example of how AI can be used to create bold and eye-catching designs. The bright blue color adds a pop of vibrancy to the kitchen, while the orange accents bring a sense of warmth and playfulness.

But the AI-generated artwork for this kitchen concept design doesn’t stop at just the color scheme. The AI also created a detailed layout for the kitchen, including the placement of cabinets, appliances, and countertops. This helps to ensure that the final design is both visually appealing and practical for everyday use.

One of the biggest benefits of using AI in kitchen design is the speed at which it can generate ideas. Traditional design processes can take weeks or even months to come up with a concept, but with AI, a designer can have multiple ideas to choose from in just a matter of hours. This allows for more flexibility and the ability to try out different ideas quickly and easily.

Overall, the AI-generated artwork for this blue and orange kitchen concept design is a perfect example of the capabilities of AI in the design industry. It combines bold and vibrant colors with a functional and practical layout, resulting in a stunning and unique kitchen design. As AI technology continues to advance, we can expect to see even more impressive and innovative designs in the future.

As a car enthusiast, I know how important it is to have a well-organized and functional dashboard. That’s why I’m excited to share my latest project: creating a custom 3D printed mount for my car’s existing screen.

One of the challenges of adding new accessories to your car is finding a way to integrate them seamlessly into the existing dashboard. Removing and replacing stock items can be time-consuming and costly, not to mention the risk of damaging your vehicle. That’s why I decided to design a mount that fits over the existing screen, without requiring any removal or modification of the stock items.

To create my mount, I used 3D modeling software to design a custom shape and size that fits my specific needs and preferences. The process was surprisingly easy and straightforward, and within a few hours, I had a fully-fledged 3D model ready to print.

The actual printing process took a little longer, as I had to wait for the printer to finish each layer. But the end result was worth the wait – a sleek, customized mount that fits my car’s screen perfectly and holds it securely in place.

One of the benefits of 3D printing is the ability to create customized solutions that fit your specific needs and preferences. Whether you’re a car enthusiast looking to add new accessories or a designer looking to bring your creations to life, 3D printing offers endless possibilities.

I’m excited to share my 3D printed mount with others and hope that it inspires others to try their hand at 3D printing. Once all measurements are confirmed, I’ll be sure to upload the design to share with the community. Stay tuned!

Attending the Orlando Margarita Society Charity Ball: A Joyful Experience of Giving Back

Last night, my wife and I had the privilege of attending a charity ball in support of a local organization that helps to feed and support the homeless community in our city. It was a truly memorable and joyous experience.

As we mingled with other attendees and learned more about the work of the organization, we couldn’t help but feel moved by the impact that our collective efforts were having on those in need. It was a powerful reminder of the importance of giving back and supporting our community.

Throughout the evening, we were treated to live music, delicious food, and a variety of auctions and raffles. But the most meaningful part of the evening was the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others.

As we left the ball, my wife and I felt a sense of joy and fulfillment that comes from knowing that we had contributed to something larger than ourselves. It was a beautiful reminder of the power of coming together to make a positive

We had our first tasting over at JUJU tonight and the pleasure of dining with tasty chomps. This was an old Pizza Hut location and contrary to the belief that you can’t make it look like anything other than a Pizza Hut they manage to accomplish that. The space is inviting with a collection of signage imported from all over Japan within the theme of retro Japan. There’s a reserved dining section for eight people and a preset menu that is booked at least a month in advance. The rest of the dining area and bar are similar food to the favorites by their other brand “Susuru”
