Since I graduated high school I have worked 6 days a week. We have finally decided to close shop on Mondays like the majority of the motorsports dealers in the midwest. Starting this Monday, Gena says I am semi-retired. I am good with that!
I love going to a garage sale, buying something for $20 and going past a pawn shop and deciding to take it in it to see what it is and what it is worth and they pay you $350 for it.
SCORE!
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

Now I am curious. What was that something?
They were gold plated collector ingots.
No real value for the gold, but they were some kind of collector thing.
People shied away from them, cause you could put a magnet on them and it would stick.
But me and my boys saw that even if there was a little collector value, might be worth $10 a piece and we might get $70 out of a $20 investment.
$50 a piece was unexpected.

I love when things finally start looking like they are coming together and you get on a good swing of things.
I savor those moments, cause I know they may not last.

Good topic, things that I love: My boys, I would die for them without hesitation.

I've always been curious about art that attracts me. I love learning to make new stuff.
Lately it has been about color, balance, form, using the right paint and brushes, backgrounds, foregrounds, over painting, underpainting, realism, metallic paint, and the list goes on.
Went to the Salvador Dali museum in Tampa. Loved it!

Unfortunately this world isn't always safe and sometimes, using force becomes necessity.
Folks will often say that their life experience justifies their views, while the guy next to them has seen the horrors of war and what man is capable of.
Neither are wrong, their views are swayed by what they have seen.
My belief is that there are evil people out there and protection is not only a good idea, but a necessity. My life experience sways my views.

Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

I love putting on a jacket I haven't worn in a while and finding $250 in the pocket that the boss lady doesn't know about.

Not needing a gun to feel safe.
I've always thought the best tool we have for insuring our safety is our own decision making. Situational awareness and whatnot.

Been robbed at gunpoint once, by knife twice. Comes from working with the public too much. There comes a point when you decide to arm up.
