Built the startup to the point of getting investors. Saw our company perform astoundingly well: finished the year with an accumulated 100,000,000 views (on Youtube alone) of our flagship show, Fastlane Daily.

Semper fi!

I volunteer for the County Sheriff's Search and Rescue team. Started keeping track in Sept. Since then, we have located 5 alive and 2 dead (drowning). Been called out twice this week, busy times here in the mountains..........

I came second in a shooting competition called Milirary Rapid fire. Stuff like 5 shots while a 25 yard target turns towards you for 6 seconds. It was only second, but the last time I actually won something was a baby contest back in 1959.

Still being employed, still being married, still having all family members and myself here healthy and on the proper side of the grass. I'm fine with that and if it sounds like having low standards or whatever keep in mind its been several years since I've been able to say that.

2010 wasn't too bad overall but I'm hoping 2011 is better and I stay on an upward trend. Too many others have been going backwards y-o-y over the last few.

I made it to the 2011 edition of Marquis Who´s Who. I can´t imagine on what grounds. Not the highlight of 2010 in any way, but still kind of funny.

I didn't die, nor did I kill anybody, and it was close several times (both ways)

In chronological order thru out the year:
Brother was reported clean of cancer after two years, a major milestone with non-smokers lung cancer.
Daughter graduated from college.
I finally got my car running the way I think it should and it really is a joy to drive. [But then the diaphragm broke so I'm back to square one with it not running.]
Celebrated 30 years of marriage to the love of my life. She's put up with a lot over that time.
Got to help my son and his girlfriend move into their first house. [This may not be a biggie to most, but my dad never got to see either my son or my first house, so it meant a lot to me.]
I'm still employed. [Back in '92 I was out of work for 18 months.]
2011 is going to be a good year as I should have the car running again soon and the house will be paid for come March.

Best for me was winning "Reserve award", (2nd place) at the Road America/Kohler/Ford concourse at Elkhart Lake this past July with a daily driven BMW. Very beautiful trophy. At least I lost to a restored 1973 Porsche 911.

high: quadrupled my income

low: apprehension about moving from the easiest "big" city in the world to live in (Indy) to So-Cal (in two weeks)
