Been busy getting things done!

As I sit here at my brothers place in Mahomet, IL. The perfect chance to get a blog post in. =P

The last time I made a blog entry was in February. It’s the end of May! I was trying to at least get a few posts in a month but that obviously didn’t happen. So let’s go over what I should have posted? March… Thai lady that cooks in the kitchen had to go back to Thailand for her mothers funeral. That was mid-March. Which ruined my plans of going to Kansas City in April for my birthday. March and April I spent alot of time working on building the GS400 and on my business Getfitted Garage. Seems like time has flew by. The whole situation where I had to show up at the restaurant to cook when it got busy was tiresome. I value you my time and they had me on a hourly pay rate of $10/hr because I haven’t been “showing up” to help at the family restaurant. I’m sorry my work goes unnoticed. But I am back on a salary for the family businesses. After a month of getting crap pay and complaining. I don’t take my time and milk the clock and take all day to do tasks. I do work. In and out. Real fast. I said I work efficiently on a salary. Hourly I complain I have to work slower and milk the clock. LOL.

2016 Review

My social media feed has been all about 2016 was bad etc etc.. How can a year be that bad for everyone?  Its ridiculous!  

Let me review my 2016 for ya. 

 

  1. My credit score jumped from 500 to 700s. 
  2. I bought my first truck.  It was used but I didn’t think I needed a $40,000 brand new truck.  This would be my first time buying a used vehicle from a dealer. Out of the 50+ cars I’ve owned.  Sure I could have bought a brand new $25,000 car but this used 2010 Toyota Tundra caught my eye.  
  3. I drove to Kansas City a few times to visit fam.
  4. I brought my GS400 home.
  5. Visited my fambam in Illinois several times.
  6. Went to the beach and then to Gatlinburg right after.
  7. Bought my first house. Sure it’s not quite exactly all mine yet but I’m the next head of family so I had part decision on that house.  My name is on the deed so ha. =P
  8. My GS400 and LS400 sleep together in the makeshift building that came with the house. So I can finally work on my cars again.  
  9. I decided with this new estate I should start my own business since I’ve had my plans on hold for several years.   I say estate because 5acres and its 4 properties that make it 5acres.
  10. Last of all.  I’m happy with myself.

The new house is Official!

It’s been a long time coming. Was searching for the house I wanted for a long time. My mom knew I had specific requirements of acreage and a workshop.  Just so when I am the head of family, there will be space to build more homes for the family if they want to move here.

5acres!  Heres some pictures to start.  I’ll post more later after the remodel is done and everything is cleaned up more.

This what the house look like (pix from the realtor because I didn’t snap any pix yet of the front)isqxmtg1b28tz30000000000ism6nwk30h6ab40000000000ise0lk2xv8ycb40000000000
