Well, it seems I keep letting time get away from me and have huge gaps in my posts here.....so here's a little update of new stuff.
My sister recently moved in with me while she saves for a downpayment to buy her OWN house, and is paying me $300/month in rent. This has DRASTICALLY helped my economic situation as of late. So far, it's going quite well sharing my space with her so that's great news to go with it.
My Dad and I have been slowly chipping away at the interior restoration on the '74 Dodge Challenger he bought in the spring and it's nearly finished inside. It's been coming out pretty nice for a pair of backyard guys who've never done upholstery before I must say.
I finally tracked down and purchased the CB650 motor and CB750 cylinder liners I have been dying to snag to build up a big motor for my 1975 Honda CB550 cafe racer I mentioned in much earlier posts.
My little business venture of making some rare car parts out of fiberglass proved to be much more difficult than I initially imagined, but I have pulled through on the first production run and broke nearly even....so now that I have learned some valuable lessons, I should be able to apply my new knowledge and start turning small profits there.
My guitar playing has made big bounds recently, I have found new techniques and songs coming to me pretty easily. This is really exciting for me, as I had always struggled figuring out the little nuances in some of my favorite songs but I'm finally getting a grasp.
I bought new sneakers. They are super confortable.
I met a girl I seem to have a whole bunch in common with, and have really enjoyed spending time with her the past couple weeks. I am excited to see if it wil develop into something. It's been extremely refreshing to meet someone that views a relationship the same way that I do.
I'm finally gaining some confidence in myself, as over the past couple of months spent in the gym have yeilded some drastic transformation in how I look. I can only hope to continue the progress, and with any luck I should finally look the way I envision myself next spring/summer.
All in all, things are looking up in every aspect of my life. I feel like there are some more positive changes right around the corner, and can't wait to see what the future holds. I truly value where I am in life right now, I beleive when I'm old I'll look back at this point in time as the best time of my life. With that in mind, I'm trying to do as much of what I WANT as I can squeeze into my time and not wasting a single opportunity for a new experience.
Hope you enjoyed the read.
'til next time.....
