    My resolution for 2016 is to accomplish the goals I set in 2015 which I should have done in 2014 because I made a promise in 2013 to fulfill my plans I made in 2012.

    buy new(er) used vehicle to drive everyday, by end of January. Why January? So I don't have to worry about making it back and forth to jury duty at far end of the county in February. 50 miles round trip daily until I'm absolved from having to call daily and show up if required. 20-yo pickup has been misbehaving for weeks, intermittently of course so never misbehavin when I schedule an appt for it, so it still hasn't gotten diagnosed what the problem is, I suspect it might be the fuel pump. Went out once before a number of years ago. Behaving similarly to back then.

    After January? I resolve to make a few more resolutions good for the rest of the year.

    Nah, Nicotine runs my BP up! 54 years of smoking makes it difficult.

    I know this is a long shot. Many years ago, I had an intermittent problem turn out to be a cracked or mal-fitting distributor cap.

    Only had problems during high humidity (rain).

    TY, UQ. I've tried and tried to figure out what triggers the misbehavior. It does it in the rain, in the cold, in above-freezing dry days, at 15mph, 45 mph and at 60-70 mph, pulling up to stop signs, making left turns slowing, you name it. all intermittently, regardless of conditions, directions or speed. I'd like to go to big autorama 70 miles from here to go shopping for that newer vehicle, but not feeling good about the shopping expedition until current vehicle is fixed. going to try for diagnosis again week after next, I'm supposed to go on a work trip a couple days next week, agency vehicle for that trip, not mine.

    One of the shop people thinking out loud suggested it might be an ozone sensor or something like that. Said they could test and rule out some things even if its not misbehaving the day I bring it in. hmm, sounds like an extra day in the shop to me and still no pinpointed solution more than likely unless they can rule out everything but one last possibility. they do advertise they'll do a free tow if I break down, what a deal, I'm sure they make it up in charges on the back end called repairs once it fully breaks down to that point. I may still try to get things ruled out at least. failing that, I'll go vehicle shopping locally-I still need to finish figuring out what makes and models could meet my everyday-vehicle criteria and savings account balance. 20- ('scuse me, 21-) yo pickup stays with me for the duration.

    I can't say I have ever been a fan of any New Year's resolutions or rituals. I don't make any resolutions or new goals. I don't do the clock countdown thing. I don't go out and get wasted. I'm not against setting goals and making resolutions and such but it seems only 8% (give or take) of people who make resolutions are successful at achieving them. So I don't like to set myself up for failures and disappointments. At the same time, I think it's important to recognize transitions as they can be opportunities for reflection and growth. So I challenge everyone to answer two simple questions:

    1. What am I grateful for?
    2. What am I looking forward to?

    Celebrate and appreciate life as it is now which is the primary driver of happiness, but also direct your vision forward toward the life you want to create and the world you want to contribute to.

    This year I am grateful for my kids, for work that I love doing and care deeply about, and for my neighbors and my TSPTalk friends. I look forward to living every day with zest, as if it was my last. Fun is my number one priority. Looking forward to family trips/vacations with my kids and meeting new folks along the way. Savor every moment and enjoy life to the fullest!

    Best wishes for a joyful, successful, and healthy 2016!
