I resolve to find some luck in 2002. Sounds lame, I know, but I'm really gonna need it.



In the next 90 days I'm gonna move into a brand new house (1st time homeowner) and lose my job with the company I've been with for 11 years.



I have no experience as a homeowner and certainly have never moved into a bare house. So I need some luck in making good home decorating decisions as I definitely have no talent or experience.



I also need to find a ton of luck in order to find a job that will reasonably replace the one I'm losing. The money loss in particular is gonna hurt. I've always been lucky with employment but not having interviewed or sent resumes or seriously networked in may years means that luck and timing will play a huge part in me finding a decent job.



Beyond those two biggies, I guess my resolutions are similar to most everyone else's:



- Lose some weight

- Spend a few days a week at the gym instead of a few days a month.

- Calm my almost uncontrollable road rage tendancies. I do promise to try to not run someone off the road this year.

- Buy a DeWalt DW849 and rekindle my 15 year old rotary buffer skills, eventhough I don't need a rotary.

- Start some kind of home business.

- Have those cosmetic surgeries I've been putting off for 10 years.

- Play better golf!!! Man, I sucked at golf this year.



Guess that's it for now.
 
Detailing: I'll wash more and QD less. Maintain my vehicles in their current state or better.

Personal: Spend as much time as possible with my kids who are 6 years old 3 years old and 8 months old and growing fast. Sometimes to gain perspective I'll ask myself this question. <em class='bbc'>When I'm old and in my rocker will I regret not spending more time at work or not spending more time with my family?[/i]

This is the first year that I will take my son motorcycle camping with his grandfather (my dad) and myself. Also looking forward to taking the family canoe camping in the late spring.

For the past 15 years I've ridden my motorcycles throughout the western U.S. with extensive backcountry motorcycle camping trips in Northern California. I now look at this time as an extended forward reconnaissance mission to scope out fun family trips. :)
 
Well I had some but I blew them all already.... DARN IT ..



I need to think of some more. I will get back with ya later on this!

I washed the truck with Shampoo Plus and Body Solvent where needed.

I dried the truck with some Water Magnets.

I then did a vac on the whole interior, cleaned and dressed all hard surfaces with APC and Quik Interior Detailer, and cleaned all of the glass inside and out with Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1.

The jambs were wiped out with some APC.

I clayed the paint with Last Touch at 1:1 and Mild Blue Clay.

I then applied some M66 Quik Detailer Cleaner/Wax with my PC to all the paint and chrome.

I dressed the tires and wheel wells with All Season Dressing.

I wiped down the wheels with some Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1.

Once again, great job on that beast of a truck.

Don't these huge trucks kill you? You must be exhausted when you are done.
