while i did in fact learn a lot this past year, at the moment three things i learned in the final hours of the year are in the forefront of my mind…
1. cupping your hand over a match so germ can light what you believe to be a punk, but is actually a sparkler… not good.
2. trusting others to control how much alcohol i consume, while fun at the time… again, not good..
3. trying to get into the garage at 8320, to see how B’s coming along with the restoration of his truck… not possible.

maybe it’s time to bump clean the garage to the top of the ol’ project list, eh? well, after you finish the koi pond, of course…
