How about a Tom update, share a small victory and other Friday pick me ups?

I could use something to lift my spirits today. So have at it people. I don't care how stupid, corny or silly it is. Or just share a small victory that you've won.

I have a starbucks gift card and am getting free coffee today.

After work, I am moving my fiance back home to Chicagoland--we had been downstate in school and our first jobs for 6.5 years (7.5 for her) and I got a job in January, she just accepted an offer on Monday.

I woke up breathing this morning. I find that always starts my day off well.

I drove my '84 Mercury Marquis Brougham to work today. I used the vent window! It smells like 31 year old new velour.

Today marks the end of my first full week without sugar or creamer in my coffee. I have defeated the sweet demons that have haunted my morning beverage for decades. I am a new man. Born again from the ashes of pre-diabeetus type 2 family history!

I got approved for a mortgage.

The official GRM softball team won it's second game last night!

It's kind of a big deal......this is only our second victory......in 3 SEASONS!

I don't have any major commitments this weekend, so I can actually work on the car.

I finally found and fixed the intermittent running issue on my Marauder and got to drive it to work again :)

I spent Wednesday on Bald Head Island with my wife and we had a lovely time. The weather was perfect and there weren't many people over there since it's not quite summer and it was the middle of the week.

I drove 6 hours to chicago during constant rain/drizzle and only used my wipers less than half a dozen times. Yay rainx. I also managed to only run across 1 cop during the trip.

I am going to surprise my almost 4 year old with his first real rc today. Its a lightly (and I mean LIGHTLY) used associated t4 rtr. For a box truck, the thing hauls ass. I'm thinking about strapping stickies to it and taking him parking lot bashing. And I'm going to let him design a body that I will paint. Should be fun.

Wednesday my engine builder friend finally brought back the Volvo B20 he was putting together for me for the past two years (bartering can be a bitch). It sounds awesome with the cam, ported head and headers. This, with the fact that my wife is going out of town for 10 days (!!) means I might actually get some time on my projects!!

I was thinking of changing my name to "DrummerFromGordonLightfoot." Does that count?

I headed South to visit an old friend and eat BBQ.

In reply to Dr. Hess:

You might want to stay away from large ships.

My step son got called to day for his first ever interview(as a weldor at a local factory). As I've discussed here before(sharing too much personal info ) he has several Autism-type symptoms, so we're all very glad to see him taking this step.

We are having BBQ catered in for lunch at work today.

I need to do this so bad.

I dyed my hair pink and frightened the office, does that count?

I'd like the pictures of a scared JG.

I pooped 6 times yesterday.

For a special event at work, I get to wear one of my Hawaiian shirts.

I'm doing great! (Going to update the other thread in a few with more details, so in a few years I can look back and remember).

Going to vintage weekend at Road America
