Here’s to an unstoppable quarter century year for you JB.
I have no doubt you will work your **** off as you have done every day since you started working.
I wish for you to taste the sweetness of your own success and for life to give you worthy rewards.
I am sure we will talk on the phone in the meantime too.

Happy & healthy 2025 to you and your loved ones JB!
Going thru a divorce is never nice even if it runs quick & smooth but in the end most people realise it was for the better and live a happier life.

I'm back at it now after taking a week off and enjoying time with my daughters, it was a great time other than we felt under the weather for a bit of it. I hope yours was great too.
2025 will be another great year, I'm looking forward to it as well. Hard work is just part of it, there is no time to screw around when so much needs to be done. I look forward to our chats in the future, I hope you have a wonderful 2025 as well.
Thank you very much, it is going to be a wonderful 2025 for sure. The divorce does **** but I know it is for the best and I'll be much happier and will have a better life because of it even if I do have to start over a bit.

I'm sorry to hear about the divorce, and I hope you find happiness and peace! best of luck and keep us posted!!
The divorce is for the best, I am much happier now. Thank you for checking in, it is still an ongoing court battle as seems to happen all to often.
On that front I suppose I can give a few updates. I left my job with HF Sinclair and returned to Phillips 66 in northern Oklahoma so I can be closer to my children and their events. I purchased a home very close to work so my commuting time is under 5 minutes now. We have gone back to court many times and the divorce decree is still not signed, the next court date is April 14th, fingers crossed it'll be done that day, a mere 2 years since it started.
I'll post some photos and start a new thread once I'm officially divorced but not being very public about things for the time being.

Damn bud, sorry to hear that. Hope you get it straightened out. Sounds like youre making progress moving closer and getting a place of your own. Good to hear from ya.
I have been trying to keep up with others on here but not everyone's threads sadly. Once it is over I'll update on projects I have tinkered with but haven't made much progress in the last 2 years.
Thank you sir.
It is nice to be back in a house again, living in a 700 ft^2 apartment is not something I enjoyed at all. The new house is quite old but MUCH bigger especially when I'm there alone.
In other news I did keep the cobra and Viper, but almost everything else was sold including most everything in the shop but a couple of tool boxes. I have slowly over the last bit of time been rebuilding my tool stash and working on bigger things again.

I have to chime in…hope. You’re doing well and working less.
Thanks for checking in, things are looking up. I'm pretty settled in the house now, it has been a chore keeping up with the lawn between all the rains and storms this summer. Biggest news is the divorce is finalized, done and done. It was a pretty big financial hit and I'll be paying for it for a while so not much money for anything fun, just necessities for the next 4 years and 2 months.
I appreciate the check, things are looking much better now, staying busy and relaxing a bit.
I have been pretty steady working close to 40 hours a week for the most part. I will have a bunch of extra hours this fall, but it is expected in my line of work.
I'll start a new thread at some point and link it here.
Keep Moving Forward,
JB

Like they say... divorces are so expensive because they are worth it. I was bitter for a while. Then it was pleasant. Then it got bad again. I got full custody of my daughter and she just turned 18 and I'm so grateful she was able to come be with me (for her sake)
It'll be tough... awkward... just always be the bigger man. Don't trash the mother in front of the kids. My daughter recently said the biggest thing with me was that I never attacked her mom or talked bad about her.

I completely agree there, both being worth it, and being the bigger man. It is tough and I'm still in the bitter stage, but working through it one day at a time. The biggest positive that came out of this is I have dedicated time with my daughters and get to make memories I wouldn't have had the chance to before. I have a good relationship with them and we communicate okay, they are both basically teenagers now so I know it isn't always sunshine and rainbows.
It has already been almost a year of paying alimony and just like paying the house off the ex now lives in, it is just one payment at a time and it'll be paid off eventually. That will be nice to have that rather large chunk of change back in my pocket every month. Both child support and alimony are more than my mortgage payment on a nice house. I'll have to share the house with ya'll when I get a bit of time, it is pretty cool.That time will go by faster than what you'd think. Glad you're doing well!
