As the subject indicates, a new year is upon us! What a year 2016 was. Frankly, it started out pretty horrible. Thankfully as the year progressed, things slowly and steadily seemed to improve. As terrible as the year started, by the end of the year I find myself hopeful for the future again. After the way I felt back in the early spring, that alone is a pretty big win.
This year, I will continue working on myself, my family, and simply having a better year. Shed a couple pounds, be healthier, and hopefully see 2017 end in even better financial state then 2016. Fingers crossed, prayers answered and a lot of luck, things will keep getting better.
Quick garage update: little to report. I finally spent some time in the garage polishing the bike. Wish I would have gotten it done when it was warmer. Bike looks like a million bucks. Battery tender plugged back in and a sheet tossed on to keep her clean. For the Subaru, I started installing a rear view camera. The camera is mounted, and cable run from the license plate to the inside of the truck and zip tied along the factory wiring. Just need to find some time and a warmer day to run the connecting wire from the trunk to the back of the head unit. Not a lot of work to do, just haven’t had the time or desire to do it given the cold weather. The Jeep is continuing racking up the kms (140,000 now) and the Beetle is continuing its winter nap. Still have lots of plans for the, but I suspect they will be a March break type of thing.
House has seen some updates in the last month or so. We tried to bring a new couch into the basement. No amount of coercion would get it in. Wrecked some drywall and had to pull a door frame apart before we decided to give in. Now I have some work to finish up. I’ve been slow to get to it, but its getting there. To make it up to us, we bought ourselves a new mattress. Our old one is beyond done. Given my shoulder and back problems which seemed to have worsened over the last 2 years, I’m hopeful this will lessen the pain and increase quality sleep.
