Ahh January, the stuff that resolutions are made of. It seems that almost everyone begins the year with a stern resolution to do this or that. Of course, by this time next month a lot of those resolutions will be a thing of the past for most people.

This year I made only one resolution and I have every intention to make this one a reality, I resolve to call in well to work at least once in 2008. I will call my boss and tell him that I feel entirely too good to be at work, and the weather is too good to not be on my bike. I plan this for sometime later in the spring but I truly feel I can follow through with this one. Aside from that resolution I have taken the opportunity to look to the start of this New Year as a fresh start, a new beginning of sorts. 2007 was probably the worst year of my life from an emotional and financial standpoint. I have let some things fall to the wayside as I wallowed in the memories of others. But now I start fresh. I grew apart from my motorcycle club over 2007, and am currently on a leave of absence. I am still reevaluating the pluses and minuses that come with life in a M/C. I have gained a new focus on my projects. My garage workshop is coming along, and I now have some fabrication capabilities. I am working on gaining the knowledge to use the capabilities, but I have already picked the name for my garage. Goon’s Ghetto-Fab, and one goal is to have a least one project this year for someone else that pays me something, anything even if it is a buck; hell I work on bikes as a hobby but it would definitely be a milestone to receive some form of payment.
