    Any thoughts on the New Year?

    That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.

    Well with the falling oil prices I think the unemployment rate will go up.

    As for myself hopefully starting a new job and gonna get my reloading room finished so I can stop using my dads. So all in all optimistic for good things as usual.
    The only thing we are afraid of is our own abilities once you get to the point where you don't care about your abilities they become limitless

    Hoping to hear from SS on an hearing. Only been 3 years. I hope to have a whole new set of Doctors. The ones I have now will not do anything as they fear the Obamacare penalties if they do something and it does not work.

    Isn't that the truth, neurosurgeon doesn't want to go in my neck unless it is 100% pain reduction when I would be happy with being able to breathe again and 50% less pain...

    My goal is to get my neck fixed so I can hunt again. Low back pain I can deal with by making sure my planned walk is short with good rest spots. I like to stop and sit anyway when hunting squirrels and rabbits

    I have heard from a reliable source that it should last 365 days if all goes right.

    It'll be all skrood up like last year was.
    We need somebody/something to keep the government (cops and bureaucrats too) HONEST (by non government oversight).

    Every "freedom" (latitude) given to government is a loophole in the rule of law. Every loophole in the rule of law is another hole in our freedom. When they even obey the law that is. Too often government seems to feel itself above the law.

    We forgot to take out the trash in 2012, but 2016 was a charm! YESSS!

    I'm going to give more and take less.
    Listen more and talk less.
    I'm going to make my grandkids believe Paw Paw is the greatest thing on earth.
    And I will get my '06 to shooting cast like I want it too.

    The new year will be full of joy and sorrow, pain and euphoria, good fortune and bad outcomes.
    Some will thrive and, unfortunately, some will perish.

    There will be good news and horrific stories of man's inhumanity to man.

    The economy will improve for some and be bad for others.

    In short...2015 will be just like every other year that has happened since man started measuring time. What matters is not what happens, but what we do as individuals to improve ourselves and the lives of others.

    I have a positive attitude for the coming year. My wife and I have returned going to church and that alone is a positive thing. Only good can come from it.

    My personal thoughts are to live long enough to make it to 2016.
    That's a very good objective for myself. Stay tuned for the next 52 weeks.

    I just made my 2015 New Year's resolution:

    Do not make New Year's resolutions.

    I don't make any kind of resolutions typically. At this time of year I generally just feel hopeful for the new year and thankful for all I do have.
    However, this year I am hoping to not pick up the cigarettes again having quit over the summer. I am glad they are gone but after ½ my life with them I do still miss one once and a while. And if I could loose the 25 lbs I put on somehow by quitting I would be really happy.

    Hopefully the Republicans will grow a pair and get this great country back on the right track.

    with Republicans in control of both houses we may see some form of sanity return to the Federal Gov., maybe, LOL!

    I do remember the last time it happened during Clinton's time and the budget got balanced and everything ran smooth.

    This year was my best at work and I hope to do the same again in 2015, hoping to make it to 70 in good health.

    Need to make more time off to shoot!! Last year was terrible between work and Jeep issues, work smoothed out the last quarter and I think I cured the jeep ( Christmas weekend was the first time since March I wasn't under the hood)

    I have a range date planned end of January for myself and fellow employees so that will be a start, looking forward to trying out the new skeet thrower!

    These sound like worthy goals!

    Praise Him! That is great, God bless you both.
