2019 was a good year, all told:

• All my friends are doing well in life
• My kids and grand-kids are healthy and happy
• My youngest finished high-school and started college
• My wife is doing great at work and seems to still like me
• Mom is healthy and cracking jokes.
• Another year with continuing hip and knee issues, but less and less problems
• Another job change – sort of – I went back to my previous employer
• Some house and yard destruction/reconstruction. 
• My shop is almost there
• As of this writing I am 80 subscribers away from 1000 on my YouTube channel (silent excited scream)

For 2020, I am going to continue to keep it simple:

1. Work really hard to stay healthy and avoid any more orthopedic surgery
2. Get on my bike!
3. Lose the extra weight
4. Work really hard to have great relationships with the people I love
5. Be a great engineer
6. Make better and better YouTube videos.
7. Send more “thank you” cards
8. Write letters more
9. Read more, much, much more!
10. Spend more time with friends and family
11. Worry about the house less
12. Use my shop to its fullest.
13. Be happier and remove negative folks and situations from my day to day.
14. Take some more classes
15. Make more friends
16. Be involved in my community
17. Buy and consume less
