It’s important to spend and make time for the family. The kids grow up so fast.

I try to do the same thing. It’s sometimes hard for me to believe my son is 6 already too. But I try to spend as much time with him as I can.

You sound just like my father.  I am not 6 but 40.  He says hard to believe my son is 40 now.  

Good question......You do have a good idea ask people who you work with.  At one point I lived in one state and worked in another state.  I paid state income tax to the state where the wages were earned not where i lived. 

Part of Super Bowl is the food.  What is everyone having this evening. 

I will have pizza, chips and dip, and some type dessert (homemade)

Nothing looks better than a clean shiny black ride but what a PITA to keep it that way. Great work. ??

I agree......I will never buy black vehicle because of that....

You did a great job on the Jeep.

Since it was cold weather yesterday.........I worked on one of my lawnmowers to get it ready for spring and have a few minor things left to do on it and then on to the other mower (both commercial).  Today just church,  resting, and spending time with parents.....It feels good to have a weekend of doing things I like to do and rest....Do not get me wrong I like to work but not having to do work work items on the weekend feels great (first time in over five years not have to do work work items over the weekend).  I did things on a few things about work but did write down some ideals I had on one of the many projects that I am working on.

Hey Guys....not sure if any of you watch Street Outlaws (Discovery)......I noticed today that the January 1, 2018 (9:00 PM EST) will be what they filmed at Bristol Dragstrip.  This was filmed couple months ago....I thought I would stop and watch them when they filmed but everyone under the sun had the same ideal but I decided to go on home instead of deal with all the people....

Congrats on the new job! 

 

And for the rest of us landlubbers... I had to look up "RoRo ship" and it stands for "Roll-on/roll-off" which means the wheeled cargo is driven onto the ship, instead of lift-on/lift-off (LoLo).  Learn something every day!

Us in the shipping industry have our lingo.

Hey Dan.....dressed up fancy with a fancy car. 

Merry Christmas To Everyone.  Let us not forget the True Reason for Christmas. 

This morning when I was on LinkedIn i noticed this.

Cleaned on my new to me 2014 SUV that I purchased beginning of the month. 

Rich don't you have Grand Children that you can teach / share you knowledge with (or little helpers who want to spend time with Grandpa).  I remember my summer when I was younger, iI went to my grandparents once a week.  My Grandpa took me along on his daily farm work the older I got the more i was able to help him.  Now I own and run the farm in my free time.  I am thankful for those things he taught me.

Thursday washed the Ram 2500 Truck.  I had to take the tractor in for service (Friday) and how good my truck looked after its bath the night before.  The Ram was the cleanest vehicle in the parking lot.  My father did use Adams when he washed the tractor up before it went to have the service performed.   One of the shop guys asked me how do I get my truck so clean. Today (Saturday) washed the ML 350 and also washed my father's ML 350.   Feels good to finally have time to wash the vehicles.  When it cools off later may do mama's car. Also, will buff out a place on my bumper.  Some nice person tire rubbed up against my bumper Thursday in the parking lot and did not tell anyone or leave a note.  Security is reviewing Film.  

Dan, Since you got the Raptor and Jeep done just come on over and you can do the ML and Ram 2500.

Your truck weighs more than 7,000 lbs?

Some of us do have trucks over 7,000.  The shop that does the alignment on SUV will not align my truck due to the weight of the front end of my truck.

Yesterday, Paperwork on top of paperwork.  Today going to wash my suv get all this nice salt off the daily driver that we had last weekend.  Hard to believe how much weather changes single digits to 60 in one week.

John, you are the same age as my son, and there should never be any classification of right or wrong choice on being single or not.

 

The ONLY choice that matters would be what makes you happy and fulfilled, as an unique, individual human being!     

Great Point you made Robert......I wish I was 29 again. 

Well I enjoyed spending time with my family (family is important to me).   Well I will be going on a trip to Walt Disney World in the spring (a whole week), also got money to do a road trip (one whole week), and money/gifts cards......and a gift to  myself in a couple weeks (vehicle to me from me).

Happy New Year Eve and Happy New Year in a couple of hours........Hard to believe that 2017 is here now.......

Merry Christmas to everyone.   Hope everyone enjoys spending time with loved ones.

Let us not forget to true meaning of Christmas.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving (yesterday).  It was a very quiet one this year did not do the large extended family this  year.  I enjoyed the rest and was able to work on a project around the house that I have been wanting to work on.  Did some early Black Friday shopping yesterday (online) will go and pickup the items sometime today. 

Glad your ok.  Time is the key.  I can tell you clotbuster med does wonders.  My father thought he was having stomach issues (slight pain lower body but no chest pain).  He walked into the ER and said I am having pain down here so the doctor said lets take some blood and finish the exam, well couple minutes later the lab called and told he is starting to have a heart attack.  The young doctor jumped up got a shot and told my father put this oxygen mask on while I stick you with this shot we have no time.  The clotbuster was given and due to how quick no damage was cause.  They had him in surgery within 20 minutes doing a stint. 

Well my calendar says Patriot Day.   It does not seem to have been 15 years since that happened.  I can still remember what I was doing when each plane hit the World Trade Center Towers, Pentagon, and Pennsylvania. 

Normally older pair of New Balance. 

Adam has been graced by the hair gods, no grey...you're lucky!!!

He has been lucky.  My cousins wife told me the other day when I was talking about my grey hair (not even 40 and getting it).  I can take care of that in a couple minutes what color would you like to have. 

Congratulations on the new truck.  I do agree with what has been said.......you increased your work just a little bit.   I think why you paid little less for the Silverado LTZ than the Sierra SLE is that GMC to me is more luxury than Chevrolet.
