AS SOME OF YOU ALL HAD READ IN A FEW OF MY PAST JOURNALS THINGS HAD GOTTEN ROUGH FOR ME AND MY FAMILY!

WELL I AM NOW BACK ON MY FEET, AND THE BILLS ARE CAUGHT UP. CHRISTMAS IS OVER, AND I HAVE ONE OF MY CHILDRENS BIRTHDAYS OVER WITH THIS YEAR, ONLY 3 MORE TO GO. I HAD TO PART WITRH A FEW OF MY BETTER COINS TO DO THIS BUT THEY WILL COME BACK IN THE FUTURE.

I WENT TO THE RELEASE OF THE SHIELD CENT, DONE WELL WITH THE ROLLS AND SLABS THAT CAME FROM IT. I PURCHASED 5 SETS OF THE PRESIDENTIAL PROOFS, SENT THEM IN AND RECEIVED THE GRADES YESTERDAY, ONE SET WENT INTO MY ALBUM, THE OTHER FOUR WERE GRADED, I WAS ABLE TO GET 3 OF THE 4 IN A PF70UC, WITH ONE DOUBLE 70. I AM WORKING ON GETTING THE BUCHANNAN FROM EBAY, WITH A LITTLE LUCK HE WILL BE MINE TOMORROW.

I HAVE BEEN DOING A LITTLE BETTER WITH THE WHOLE BACK ISSUE, STILL IN A LOT OF PAIN, BUT COPING BETTER WITH THE MENTAL ISSUES.

THIS YEARS INCOME TAXES ARE GOING TO BUILD ME A NEW GARAGE FOR MY 69 MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE, CANT WAIT TILL THE WEATHER BREAKS SO I CAN GET STARTED ON IT. THEN I CAN DO THE COMPLETE RESTORATION ON HER THAT I HAVE BEEN DRAMING OF. I WILL POST A FEW PICS ALONG THE WAY AS I DO IT. BUT IT ALL STARTS WITH THE GARAGE. I HAVE A FEW 100 OUNCE SILVER BARS THAT I WILL BE PARTING WITH TO FUND THE RESTO. JUST WAITING ON SILVER TO GET UP A LITTLE HIGHER IN ORDER TO REAP THE BEST PROFIT I CAN ON THEM.

I HAVE DECIDED TO CLEAN MY COLLECTION UP, I AM GOING TO GET RID OF EVERYTHING BUT THE GOLD AND SILVER AND MY SLABS AND ALBUMS. ALL THE OTHER MISC. ITEMS WILL BE GOING. I AM GOING TO LET MY DAD, BROTHER AND FAMILY HAVE THEIR PICS THEN OFF TO EBAY TO GET WHAT I CAN. I AM ALSO TRYING TO COMPLETE A SET OF MS EAGLES IN MS70, THEN I WILL START ON THE PROOF ASE IN PF70UC. THEN TO THE EAGLES-GOLD, MAYBE PLATINUM SOMEDAY, BUT WONT HOLD ME BREATH ON THEM. THESE ARE FOR MY RETIREMENT, BECAUSE I DOUBT SOCIALL SECURITY WILL BE THERE FOR ME, IN 40 YEARS.

I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY FOR MY SHADOW YESTERDAY, I NEED TO CHARGE IT, THE WEATHER IS GOING TO BE UP IN THE 60'S COME MONDAY AND I WANT TO GO FIOR THE FIRST RIDE OF THE YEAR THEN. MY OLD BATTERY TOOK A HUGE DUMP OVER THE WINTER. MAN, I CANT WAIT, EVEN WITH THE BACK PROBLEMS, A BIKE RIDE IS SO PEACEFUL AND RELAXING, HELL ON THE OLD BACK, BUT WELL WORTH THE FELLING OF FREEDOM!!

BUT LIFE IS BETTER, I WANT TO THANK THOSE OF YOU WHO WERE THERE FOR ME A COUPLE OF MONTHS GAO, I REALLY NEEDED YOU AND YOU CAME THROUGH FOR ME, THANKS.!!

I WISH EVERYONE A WONDERFUL JOURNEY ON YOUR COLLECTION AND HOPE YOU FILL ALL THE SLOTS YOU WANT IN THE NEAR FUTURE! KEEP YOUR HEAD UP IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY PROBLEMS, AS IT SAYS IN THE BIBLE "WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE", IF THINGS ARE LOOKING DOWN, JUST LOOK UP, THAT IS WHERE THE ANSWERS ARE.

THANKS FOR LISTENING(READING) AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR COLLECTION!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY, WEEKEND AND YEAR!!!
