Sitting at home bored with covid so I figured I’d check in. I still lurk from time to time but I got tired of all the negative stuff and a certain someone that needs to be arguing in every single thread even when asked not to. Can’t put them on ignore because they’re a staff member 😂. Oh well life goes on. So it’s been a busy few months. The kids are getting bigger, smarter, and stronger. The wife seems to get more beautiful by the day and I seem to have hit a turning point and I myself have gotten back in pretty good shape. I still work 60 hours a week but got a promotion and hopefully by the end of the year I’ll be working 12 miles from home instead of 28. Saw a lot of threads about pension so ours has actually been ratafied and I’m actually in great shape. So now I have my pension, 401k, annuity, and then my personal crypto and stocks so I can’t really complain there. I was just sitting out front with the wife the other day and I told her I feel like I finally did it. I’ve never been so happy in my life. I have a great job and I’m kicking ass, I have a beautiful family and finally I feel like we have some financial freedom. I feel like I’m no longer working for my future now everything I do is to help set up the kids. It’s a great feeling. Anyways maybe I’m delusional from the covid so I’ll quit my shit and just post some pictures.

The world outside is generally negative bs...but hammer down and it's amazing what comes into focus for you and your family. In the grand scheme of things, that's what matters.
Even being sick at home, you can reflect on where you've been, and where you are. That alone will help you feel better!

@rivermobster i don’t think I’ve thanked you enough for the killer deal on that golf cart. One day I’ll make it pretty but we run that thing all over!

Vic,

Mom and dad are doing great, brother and his family are doing really good too. Mom and dad have been watching the boys since wife and I are sick. Mom just sent me a video of those knuckleheads climbing the trees at church. You guys all know I have the best dad in the world so I have my buddy joe 303 mobile detailing at his house right now giving his truck the big daddy special. He let me borrow it a few weeks back to take to Vegas for work, so it’s the least I could do. Baseball season is starting and my dad helps out a lot since I’m always working. He won’t admit it but he’s more stoked about it than the boys

Congrats Vic! Definitely understand everything you said about family, it’s crazy to sit down, look around and look how fast your family and kids grow.

It’s crazy to watch them turn into little humans. They are smart. Just the other day Eli was pouring his own juice and I had to stop and think about it. My wife took the opportunity to hit me with a low blow of course 😂 said he’s been doing it for a while now because he knows you’re not going to get it for him 😂😂

I think we all strive to relax and enjoy what we have. It’s hard to overcome human nature to always want more. That’s fantastic you’ve put yourself in a position where you are able to do that.

There are some of the brightest people in the world on here. They literally know everything 😂. It’s a lot like Facebook, if you don’t step outside and see for yourself, you’ll think the whole world is burning down based off the shit you’re reading. There is a lot of good information, just have to take most of it with a grain of salt.

Good to see ya back. Get better quick 🍻

You are not alone, it never fails when I get surprised by my oldest doing something then go tell Mom and she’s just shrugs and says he’s been doing that for a while.😂 I did ask what my name was the other night and he said it right back to me, no idea how he knew because we don’t call each other by names but he also knew his moms and she was surprised too so I’d didn’t get the low blow lol!

Glad all is well with you and the family. Getting any Jiu Jitsu in?
I actually just bought a new gi. The boys want to start training so we’ll be joining Gracie barra corona and I’ll still train with my buddy from hidden hand. Would love to start competing again but I’m not sure I have the time.

I’ve enjoyed watching him grow up, the chip on his shoulder seems to have fallen off. Life is what you make of it, if you want to be a leader or victim, choice is yours. We search out and hang out with positive people, we have fun and do our best to expand the group.

One of the best things we ever did, pre retirement, was to set up a health savings account, HSA. Wish we would have done earlier. The money is not taxed going in and it is not taxed going out. As long as it’s used for medical type items. Unlike a FLEX, HSAs roll over, they do not have to be spent every year. Good to see you back on here. Glad things are good for you and your family.

just checking in. Sorry about any Pms I missed i don’t log in often. Been super busy with the boys. They are kicking ass in school and I’m managing their baseball teams. Tons of fun but i had no idea how much more I could squeeze into a day. Family is doing great, and I have zero to complain about.

In another video i steal 3rd and you can her my youngest boy Luke yell out go daddy! Everyone awws and he says I’m a baseball player too 😂 one of the coolest days I’ve had in my life.

Trying to get more involved with the city, so I put my hat in for planning commission or parks and rec. I wasnt appointed this time but I’m going to try again. I talk in front of people all day so I’m kind of mad at myself but I got super nervous and it’s showed. I’m bright red the whole time, I’m very monotone, and I stutter and lose myself a couple times. It is what it is so I just got learn from it and move on. I’ll take any advice you guys want to give too. Constructive criticism is the only way to get better.
