Stakes and orange spray paint

The garage project is under way and all we have to show for it are stakes and orange spray paint. Lots of stakes marking this and spray paint marking that. 

Today I got a phone call from the power company telling me they could not schedule any work because of the size of the temporary service wall and then I got a phone call 20 minutes later, to give me the date they were coming to do the work.

The engineer was out today to verify some of the stakes and orange paint, which has only led us to getting more permits and more inspections. Someday hopefully soon we will have our garage. 

That diet thing

Today i realized there are no such things as diet aids. 

I woke up this morning feeling great. No weight gain, actually feeling a little thinner, until driving to work, I stopped at 7 eleven and I bought a 1 liter bottle of water and a banana muscle milk. Wow! The only muscles that wanted to work were my jaw muscles, I was ravenous, I wanted to eat everything, Then all of a sudden it came to me. I was cheating myself of real food. When I eat a real breakfast, lunch and dinner I do great, when I cheat and use a diet aid I am hungry all day.

So very long story short, eating right really is the key to a good diet.

This is my 1960 beetle, only the nicest and most special car I have owned.

My wife's grandfather gave it to me before he passed away. We had several conversations about vw's in the short time that I knew him, but the one thing I learned was, he really liked vw's.

This beetle had an off the frame restoration sometime in the eighties. When I got the car it was last registered in 1984, which means it sat garaged for 20 years. 

After 3 years of searching for a gas tank, i found a guy just up the road, and turns out his name was "vw Joe".  Joe hooked me up with the gas tank, and here we are. My favorite non human or animal thing in the world.

In the past couple of weeks I have had a few incidents that have made me realize it's time to lose weight. When total strangers decide to make fat jokes and when i realized I am the fattest person in this restaurant. Well I have decided to use this blog as a diet aid. Maybe if I post a photo every week it will be motivation to finally stay on a diet and make a few lifestyle changes.

I have a great life and the only consistent drag is my personal feelings about me. So here it is day one.

Week One

It's Here!

So, something bad must be happening soon, because life could not be better right now, the garage is starting this week and i got this new bangin' ass mower today, and we are talkin' puppies, not to mention we just got back from my favorite place on earth , nyc, and I'm getting a new grill.

I am not the greatest wordsmith, so this blog will be all over the place, i hope you will bear with me and stay tuned till i get the hang of it.

Hi Shawnie!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!
