On this day, I am celebrating 9 years of freedom from wrongful abuse. In 2004 I retired from active duty
To the day, one week before thanksgiving in 2004 my estranged wife packed up to go live with a man who I believe was other than honorably discharged from the military around the time I myself was going to class A service school here in the Millington area.
The man cannot even prove he has ever paid income tax or SSI since then - so when he is too old to do anything anymore, he will have only himself to blame for being too clever for himself.
On that day nine years ago I found myself in debt to the tune of $190,000.oo, and never even saw it coming. My credit cards had been deliberately run up to over $107,000.oo, and every dime of equity I ever paid on my house had been absconded with by my spouse.
ON THIS DAY, in the year of our Lord 2013, I owe only $36,000.oo on my home and have no other indebtedness whatsoever...
On this day, there are NO TRASHY HANGERS ON or other undesirables anywhere around my property!
On this day I have no stress or hassles of any kind, and enjoy the peacefulness while raising my assorted small puppies and tend to my chosen projects.
On this day a woman known to me to use drugs does not carp at me as if I were a criminal for enjoying a beer, or several if I so choose!
On this day the neighbors treasure me as a useful addition to the community instead of wondering when the next police car will pull into the driveway.
On this day the neighbors do not tell their children "Stay away from that place, there are a bunch of 'HEADS' and a Crazy Woman living there..." Instead I have often been asked by the kids what I think of some video games, and what a career in the Military could be like for them.
On this day I have no less than FOUR honorably retired VETERANS as neighbors, who think well of me.
On this day I have no fears for my own survival or hardship of any kind.
On this day my prospects for improving my situation and station in life are very real and attainable.
On this day I count many blessings, and treasure the neighbors that I have been blessed to be surrounded with, my good fortune in how fate worked out, and the prospects of a fine future filled with many wonderful times and experiences.
On this day I treasure the NAVY having taught me to work with what I have GOT!
ON THIS DAY I CELEBRATE THANK GOD DAY!!!

Clean looking machine - don't ever give up those rims!
They are worth more in MPG than you think they are - reducing wheel weight reduces the power needed to turn them
REPEAT AFTER ME:
1) UNSPRUNG WHEEL WEIGHT IS A HORSEPOWER EXPENCE
2) RUBBER weighs more than METAL
3) Going with a lower sidewall will reduce your fuel spending
4) A lower sidewall will call for a larger diameter rim to maintain a total outer diameter at the street footprint
