You guys are great guys. I'm certain your wives are equally swell.
As for life, I've come to the realization:
1. Better nutrition has helped-- I've made a pretty simple commitment to eating clean. As many veggies as I like, a set portion of protein, a limited portion of carbs....surprisingly, I feel like I'm running off rocket fuel.
2. Not stressing out about life helps-- Mom let me know that I'm being an idiot. I have a thriving business, and I have plenty of assets saved up.
3. My existing stuff is pretty great, I just need to modify it a bit.-- I'm in the process of modifying my Blum bench pony, and it's pretty phenominal how capable that plywood box is. It's more stable than a Sjoberg, and very compact. I've put wheels on it, and planning to put some sorta till (for holding saws/chisels/hammers).
4. Finally getting a vacation-- The last three years, I've been lucky to get two days off in a row. This weekend, I get *four*!
5. Maybe I'll go get a date?
In the background, I've been consulting with Stan about life, family, balance and stuff.
He's a great guy with lots of very grounded advice.
While I have a great dad...mine doesn't give good advice.
