New years resolution recap: I'm not going to be able to post this blog tomorrow and none of the results are going to change in that time anyway.
so
1- Sort out the lower trim on my car, do paint touch ups and get it re-appraised.
I did weld a strip of metal into the recess for the lower trim to blend it in with the rest of the body, I didn't manage to do all the paint touch ups and didn't start dealing with the front fenders. I haven't gotten the car re-appraised.
So I guess I half completed that one.
2- Buy an all aluminium radiator for my car and start hunting down a new motor and transmission.
I got behind trying to do ^^#1 and didn't get around getting quotes for the custom rad. Then I had some electrical trouble and the mechanic I use let me down, not really his fault, but still; and I ended up getting a new car from a family member. I'm going to have to find a new home for my car I love and have had for 15 years, because I can't keep it.
So that one's a Failure.
3- Keep up on front page sets. I got behind a couple of times and was on the second page of them on the PICS link until Vice Silver Rain I admitted to myself I wasn't going to be able to keep up at that point and knew I was going to start skipping sets. I did check out the next set to go live as it was Venom Khaleesi which she and P_Mod did a great job on.
Failure, but thanks for all the effort all the SG's put into their sets, the are loved by the members, don't let the rude under apreciative people get you down.
4- Open an etsy store/page what ever it's correctly called and sell something. I did my year of 2011 record keeping and don't like how little is coming in from places other than my job.
I did open and etsy store. WLMCreations I haven't sold anything yet. I'm going to drop the prices on the two jewerly boxes soon. At the moment I have them priced base on how long it took me to build. That is a recognized problem in wood working that you can't make money on jewerly boxes, trays, cutting boards, that sort of simple stuff because it takes a few hours to make a nice small box and no one wants to pay $XX/ hour shop time for that. They will pay thousands of dollars for a kitchen at $XX/ hour, so shops make kitchens. I thought I would get more searches that showed people the leather battery holsters, but I guess no one is looking for one.
So another half completed.
5- Make modular shelving for my place.
I wanted to finish the car stuff before I built the work bench I wanted to have before building the shelving as it has a lot of pieces and it would have been a pain to build with out a decent bench.
Failure.
6- Have more sex.
Failed to meet or exceed sex quota
7- Take one of my coffee tables to 'Studio 201' and see if they are interested in selling them.
I took one of my tables down there, it got to the point where I had to throw out a number and it's hard to go back up if you low ball your self. I went too high, too high enought that it ended the conversation, and they didn't throw back a counter offer. I know someone who sells drapes and blinds and he asks from time to time about them. My mom's cousin is apparently intrested but hasn't ordered one or anything.
Suceeded, oddly
