Resolutions, aspirations...modifications..:)

First off with about 3 hours till the new year, I would like to wish everyone here at FTE a very happy and prosperous 2009.
Having said that, I thought I would start a thread to see what everyone has planned for the new year, whether it be a new girl, boss, truck, mods,.......whatever it may be.

So I'll start....
I am happy with the girl(and since she is expecting in June) It would be rude to dump her now and..... since she does tolerate my tool piles etc, she stays.
Work....well, since I am my own boss and loving it, I will also leave that as is for 2009. Although my renovation business has done well, it also leaves me no time for play, or to tinker with my toys, and that takes some getting used to....Hell I work harder than I ever did.
Then there's home...there is always stuff to do around the house and mine is no exception, bathroom reno, harwood in halls and bedrooms, doors, windows....did I mention I work 24/7 ugh!

As for my beloved Ford truck, I hope 2009 will see new front springs, rad support, a new hood(already have), box and a new paint job. I have many other smaller things that I plan to do like put on new chrome bumper that I have, new mirrors, change some glass, change rear glass to slider, interior and exterior cab lights, new front speakers, and the list goes on...and on.
I think I just love to tinker with my stuff and if I get to do a little more of that next year than I will be a happy man,....oh ya....and spend a little more time fishing and golfing.....(did I say that?)

So lets hear what everyone else would like to do or have for the coming year.....
2009 already....wow.....seems like yesterday that everyone thought that planes would drop from the skies at midnight.
As long as the breweries stayed online...

Cheers everyone and Happy New Year!!
Dave
