Ok,...
If I was a pirate, I’d have to find me a desert island to bury all me treasure.
Lets just say that I did OK by Kate this year.( As did she by me).
The list:
Earthquake 1/2 cordless 3/8 drive ratchet rated to 60 ft lbs of torque, (HF premium cordless brand).
Bauer 1/2” drive cordless impact wrench (HF midline brand).
GoPro hero 7 white. ( Just let me get comfortable in front of this camera, and capable with some editing software..It’ll be MikeTV..)
$100.00 HF gift card.
#1 son got me 4 Pittsburg breaker bars (2) 3/8”, (2) 1/2” in each size, one is fixed, one ratchets.( HF stuff..Can’t be any worse than the current Craftsman junk)
#2 son got me the HF bolt bin assortment that I’ll hang on the wall in an attempt to organize the disaster currently taking up waay too much space on my counter top.
HF, Summit, and Amazon...what else does a car guy need?
And...tomorrow is a day off....( what to do......what to do...)
To say I’m blessed would be an understatement. In three days I mark my 35th year married to the hottie that is Kate...I have two sons, both who have turned out to be good people, productive citizens, and actually work, maintain their own bills, and live in their own houses..
Im healthy,..( At least I think I am)
When I started here as a Genius, I resisted going into sales for all the right reasons,..( Not wanting to wear the name tag that reads “ car salesman”, retail hours, the constant uphill climb to get to the end of the month, only to start all over again the very next day, No holidays, blah-blah-blah..) The fact that I was getting paid 45k to do the same job that the salespeople were supposed to do, but were making at least twice what I was helped to push me in that direction though.
Now, I regret not knowing about the opportunity decades ago. The lifestyle, the freedom, and the income has changed everything for me. I know it’s not typical..I know that there are other dealerships on this street that the whole situation would be 180 degrees different from ours...but that don’t matter...I’m here at this one.
This is not to brag...I know how lucky I am..( That’s why I’m writing this). At the same time, I had to start completely from scratch when I ended the self employment status I had for 15 years( on/off) and had to start looking for a job at 58..with no specific experience anywhere...100 responses to job applications got me exactly 1 job.. So....it’s not like I stepped into the family business or anything.
It is my end of year summation I guess...A ramble just the same..Glad to be where I am, looking for normalcy in the year to come, the end of the freakin virus, and hopeful that you all are equally happy and healthy, and that you may stay that way throughout this upcoming year.
Cheers.
year, come out on the other side ok. Hopefully most of us can say the same, and 2021 is much better!
ing sucked. I'm on week four, and still blowing chunks of blood and goo out of my nose every morning. There was too solid days I had to sit on the toilet to fart, because it always had a friend. My heart rate is still up by about 10 beats/minute. I'm starting to wonder if I'm going to pass my EKG in October. I'm back on the treadmill this week, and hopefully back on the bicycle by mid January.
I’ll have to think about that.
