today is the first day of the rest of my life .. a happy new year for me will be one without alcohol ,, i am now drinking almost a case of beer a day and it does absolutely nothing for me .. have not had a beer buzz in years .. another goal for this year is to convert the V6 pinto to a 5 speed .. cant help but make it a bit more fun to drive .. i`m not done with cars i`m just done with ground pounders but iv`e got to feel a whole lot better in body and spirit to do it .. goal # 3 is to get cataract surgery .. one does`nt realize how bad this stuff is cause it sneaks up on you so slowly .. i imagine i am about 50 % blind but i still function ok .. i have to work 9 hours today and that is 9 hours without a beer in my hands .. a good start .. it takes two weeks to break a habit .. lets see what happens ..
