Afternoon everyone ….

So, we’ve hit the time of year where everyone is setting goals and making resolutions. I used to be really structured on setting goals for myself and tracking my progress, making adjustments as I felt necessary.

Now I’m not saying that I don’t have goals or aspirations to achieve certain things. But I have taken a different approach to this now that I’m farther along n my life. While I’m not old in my opinion, I’m not young and preparing myself for the future either.

My main goal is to get my shop up and functional. While having the building completed and done. Which was definitely the hard and extremely time consuming part. There are so many machines that I need to make this shop functional. Machines that I’ve done without for years because my shop was too small to handle them.

I’m sort of using the new shop, but there isn’t really anything inside it to really work inside it yet. Nearly nothing except my table saw is going into my new shop. All the other small machines are being given away. They won’t serve my needs in the new shop and will require new set ups in order to make them work in the new shop.

So my main goal is a functional shop….

Now as far as stacking goals….

I’m at the point where I feel pretty comfortable with what I currently have. Sure I’d like some more gold in my stack, but at these prices I’m not to sure that’s gonna happen. Sure I’ll buy stuff here and there as I see things that I like. But I no longer set weight goals like I used to.

I’d love to be able to add hopefully a Morgan or two to my graded set to get closer to completing it. That I’d prefer over buying for weight for sure.

As long as the market doesn’t totally collapse I’m fairly confident in what is in my 401K that I’ve been self funding for thirty years now.

I think that’s enough for this post as it’s a lot to digest. I’ll do another post hitting other areas as well. Maybe tomorrow….

Here’s a piece of some of my shiny for reading….
