Good year overall, a couple bumps here and there. Lost our dog Mocha rather unexpectedly in Sept. She was 10. My wife still misses her a lot. This pic is from my mom's boyfriends
this summer.
My son finished his bachelors degree and is employed and making his own way for the most part. We are still helping him a little so he can get the college loans paid down quicker. My daughter is still at MSU and is now living off campus in an apartment with her boyfriend. They are both working on Bachelors degrees and more. Wife still has auto-immune issues that are not fully understood or really truly diagnosed. Her step-father (91) had a stroke early this year and then fell and broke his hip a couple months ago. He was ready to give up but my wife had a good talk with him and he realized he still had things he wanted to do in life and has made great strides in rehab. He's even back home now, he's such a great person. I've tried to get the Dodge on the road this summer but again it hasn't worked out. Maybe next year. Celebrated 20 years at work in Sept. So I really don't have much to complain. Hopefully 2017 continues to be good.

No new stiches was an improvement over last year. Business is looking better. The crazy women wife is still here. Living with one with a mental illness can be a bitch at times but I take the for better or worse literally will be 42 years in 17. Times of normalcy are a blessing. One of the boys tried removing a thumb at work and has lost some use of it. The oldest son has decided to remain single. The youngest son is still trying to bankrupt us but it is not going to happen. The older grandkids are starting to act like adults thank god and the greatgrand son still does not know what to think of us yet he will be 2 next year. We do not get to see him much. The oldest 2 daughters are finally getting along. You think boys fight growing up the 2 daughter could be a terror at times. In all was not a terrable year.

2016 was a good year for me.
1. My oldest Son graduated the Police academy and was hired right away.
2. My older daughter married a very nice guy in June. That cost me a few bucks.
3. My wife and I are married 36 years and she still loves me.
4. My younger son is moving slowly thru his last year of Electrical Engineering school at Rutgers University.
5. My youngest Daughter drives me nuts, but looks to be finally figuring out what she will do with her life. Changes major like I change my sox's.
6. I bought another car! Dodge Challenger 2014 RT Classic, Hemi Orange.
7. The 67 hemi Coronet continues down the path to painting.
8. I still have a good job and hope to make it 2.5 years then retire.
9. Trump will be President.

Had some close friends pass. The cycle of life is in full force. Also had some little ones born. I hope and pray for a better 2017 for all of us.

I have complaints but they're political.
I have joyful comments but they're political.
Doesn't leave me much.

Other than my two youngest boys driving us nuts, I can't complain. This has been our best year to date at work, building the new house is stressful, frustrating and rewarding. Was able to take a one week vacation for the first time in 7 or 8 years. Doing well healthwise.
My biggest complaint is a lack of down time & I feel like the business is running me instead of me running the business. Not to wish time away, but I do look forward to the time when I can sell the business and start to slow down. Right now, I feel like George Jetson on the treadmill.

Steve, my best wishes to you and your family. I cannot pretend to imagine how hard it must be to continue to fight reoccurring cancer. And type 1 diabetes and the complications that can stem from it are nothing I would wish upon my enemies. I'm sure they take their toll mentally physically and monetarily. God bless you brother.
2016 was a good year for me. I had four surgerys to fix structural issues caused by many years of hard physical work.
I am now essentially retired (I can still work 480 hrs per year at my trade without upsetting my pension).
I save and invested well. Now and from here forward are for me to relax and play.
