I never make New Years resolutions, I never stick to them. However next year (2005), I am going to stop smoking. Not at midnight, I'll cut down and have a date set for the day that I stop. With the money I save I'm going to gym to tone up and attempt to try and regain some of the lung capacity I've lost.

To get a full time job, get my 4 door Mk II Escort GL registered and get work started on restoring my 2 door Mk II Escort.

And to ensure there isn't a day that passes without LuvinmyEB being shown, in one way or another, how much she means to me. Life is too short and precious, as has been brutally illustrated by the tsunami, to neglect to show to the people who are most important how much they mean to you. That's what I think anyway.

In 2004, mine was to do 2000 ks on the bike to and from work(saving petrol and getting fit), and only just completed that last night...

So I'll probably try for the same again this year, as well as getting the mustang repaired and back on the road.

I wouldn't say cleared up, but things are a lot quieter on that front now

I've gotta do some mods to my falcon this year as it's warranty ran out recently. To all you people thinking about quiting smoking and going to the gym do it and this time next year you will feel great as that is what I did last year and at the age of 38 I can't recall ever feeling better.

I usually avoid them but this year I have resolved to improve the diet somewhat - adding such oddities as a bit of fruit and the occasional vegie is about as far as I am going so far but I figure (at my age) a diet of meat and 1 veg is not a recipe for a long(er) life.

Cheers
Russ
