New era

Well, it's the dawning of a new era in American politics. I really hope the new administration can help put the economy back on the right track. I know they can't do it themselves, the public has to participate. They really have their work cut out for them; more layoff announcements every day, companies that aren't laying off are announcing wage and hiring freezes, banks aren't loaning money, cars aren't selling...... everything seems to be looking bleak.

You have all heard the old saying about being darkest before the dawn, so I guess it must be getting close to daybreak! The bright spots in the whole deal is the people of this great country; the people who are innovators, the visionaries, the hard working people who make this county what it has been in the past and hopefully will continue to be!

new year new outlook

Welcome to my first post of 2009. It is now a new year, time to reflect on the past and decide what, if anything, you will do with the time we have now. Everything seems to be up in the air.... political, financial, etc. However, most of us can't do much about those things, we can only do with what we have control over. I personally am going to try to improve my health. I am going to lose more weight than I did last year. I intend to get much more exercise and hopefully reduce or eliminate by dependence on high blood pressure medicine. I also am going to make a concerted effort to get some of my automotive projects completed. I need to get my Gransport back on the road, finish my Morris Minor restoration and make noticable progress on my street rod project
