A new year's resolution

[Jo]

Humm, a new year, what should my goals be I think I need to get the DTC running, the R&B would be nice to get running and then there is a little (ok its bigger than the DTC) Corliss cross compound that is extremely sexy sitting in my library just wanting some attention from me.

Or I could set myself something a little more normal/less interesting... maybe to try to get into that midnight blue velvet ballgown that I last fitted in...  a number of years ago.

Why not all of them .

So guys what new year resolutions are you promising yourselves .

.. or kill two birds with the one stone and just put your inate gravity in the water?

I should really get and finish a couple of the part-built engines I have sitting around.

I have 365.25 days to finish one of the three builds I have going.  It shouldn't be too hard if I get my lazy bottom moving.  The way I look at,  I just have to keep chipping away at the stone even if it's only for one half of an hour a day.  Soon the stone will be gone!

Wot ? the R&B, the corliss, the DTC and you ALL in that ball gown ???????????

I think I need a stiff drink 

[Jo]

Just for a laugh, I know it is not model engines but this is the gown I keep promising myself I must get back into.



As you can see I could once get into it, but the colour seems to have faded, either that or.. no I am sure they did colour film back then.

Sorry I do not intend on sharing it with anything or anyone

[John S]

Can't you weld a few gussets and stringers into it ?

[mklotz]

Well, depend on it, I'm not going to resolve to get into my ball gown.  Might be something for Zee, but not me. 

Two years ago I made a resolution to not make any more damn resolutions.  Last year was the first year I stuck to my resolution.

Jo, may I say you look very charming in that gown?

[fcheslop]

Oh NOOOOOOOO Marv just cannot get that image out of my mind
Just the usual stop smoking again
Cut down on the work and get more time for the toys and life
Finish my boats well one day
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy new year

I concur!  ....with the charming part that is.....Zee ....your on your own.

Nice picture Jo - Zee is going to have to pull all the stops out to match that!

Does Zee have prior form for this sort of thing btw?

[chuck foster]

i never make resolutions i just keep doing what has to be done.

looking at jo's picture sure makes me understand her models. beautiful models produced by an equally beautiful lady 

all the best in the new year to one and all.

Long story sco.....I'll let Zee tell that story!

[Captain Jerry]

Goals? Resolutions? Hope? Mean to? Maybe? Should have? Never mind.

I do have a list.

Leave the car home and walk to the shop, at least once.

Clean the shop, at least once.

Have only 1 beer before dinner, at least once.

Go to bed before midnight, at least once.

I could add to the list but if I can get all this done, that should be enough.

A happy and prosperous New Year to all.

No. I could not compete with that. I have limited myself to my tutu. 
I did admit before in having worn a belly dancer outfit. But I'd only made runner-up in the Miss Snowflake Contest. (No doubt now referred to as the 'Ms. Snowflake Contest.' Actually, they probably no longer allow contests like that.)

 
Jo, may I say you look very charming in that gown?

Charming indeed. I am no competition.
And no, you need not fit into it again. If you're like most women I know...a fine wine ages well without having to work at it.

My resolutions...well most of them have to wait until I find out what changes are going to happen at work.
I have the usual certainly...

1) Quit smoking (again). I'd gone for 3 years but a personal tragedy kicked it off again. Stupid.
2) Exercise
3) Listen better
4) Chill out more

Which all fall under the mother of resolutions...stay alive as long as I can per T's request. 

As for machining...just to keep at it and get better. I don't want to make it too specific. Then I run the risk of bypassing some shiny thing that could be even more interesting.

Happy New Year everyone.

[steamer]

Happy New Year Zee!.....

At least the ball gown would have covered a multitude of sins - with a tutu there could easily be hairy knees

No one will notice the knees.

So are we going to see the photo 

And thanks guys for your nice comments you won't often see me in a dress.

Jo

[chuck foster]

should we start another thread and post pictures of ourselves just so we all know what we look like ??

could be fun 

chuck

[Don1966]

Gee Chuck I already posted mine on my vacation to Bahamas. I would really like to see Carl in a Tutu. That would make my year.
By the way Jo nice photo and a lovely lady in a nice dress and "Happy New Year All".

For some reason this image comes to mind;

A new year usually begins with wishes that have some chance of being fulfilled.
You still have time. 

So are we going to see the photo

Unfortunately there is no photo of me in my belly dancer outfit. The only pic that exists of that time is a side shot of my head getting my wig brushed. The only recognizable thing is my nose which is sticking out.

As for the possibility of a picture of me and my tutu...here? On this forum? With this bunch? Uh...no.
There would be too many unwelcome visitors. 

Just saw your post sco. Well the personality is a close match. After 9 P.M.

[Deko]

My new year resolutions,------ 1) keep on smoking,  2) keep on breathing.  That way i wo'nt break them.

Cheers, and a very happy new year to one and all  Dek.

P.S.  At least i will do my best to keep 2)

Just what are you doing on the floor Jo? How many glasses of that stuff had you put away?

[chuck foster]

a real gentleman would not ask why the lady is on the floor tel..............he would just offer her a hand and help her up. 

chuck

[zeeprogrammer]

Just what are you doing on the floor Jo?

Checking out knees perhaps?

[metalmad]

Thank you very much for posting it.
Happy new year all

Thanks to Marv for providing the perfect adjective to describe the photo.   

Now.....................HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your families.

Galina and I are both limping today due to an overindulgence in Russian sytle dancing last night. At the time I was sure I was 25 but today my Achilles tendon is advising me in no uncertain terms that really I'm another old phart and I should have acted with the decorum as befits a gentleman of my advancing years 

Resolution................YES............. don't be a silly old phart next year.

Best Regards
Bob

After last years disasters I resolve to never make a NY resolution again.  maybe I will win that one

Thanks for the warning. Since it still is only Dec.31 @ 9:45pm here maybe I better take your advise and act my age while I still have a chance.

Happy New Year to all.

Cheers

Tel,

I was sitting on the floor because of the lack of seating, as for drink I think I was driving so it was lemonade .

Jo

[PJW]

I resolve to be tidy my workshop & keep it that way, & loose a little weight but not to fit in a frock though!

Happy New Year All

  Well, being the gentleman that I am, I would have offered you my seat, but I wasn't there, so I couldn't!

1 Spend more time in the shed

2 Try not to make as much scrap.

3 Be very nice to the boss and she might let me get a mill

Happy New Year

Don remember ....growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional......
Pete

[propforward]

I can't believe a whole year has gone by since I last failed to become a better person. I suppose I'd better just settle for being "a person".

And go down the shed.

[Tin Falcon]

A new years resolution is something that gone in one year and out the other.
