Anybody get new toys for Christmas?

I just picked up a 1979 Suzuki GS1000 to do a minor resoration on since I dont have any cars to tinker with
Looked like this when I picked it up
It had been dropped on its left side, bars were bent, gauge cluster was messed up and the tank as dented
I tore her apart and sent the sheetmetal to my body guy
Waiting on some new emblems and other misc items to come in to start putting her back together
Scored a 78 GS1000 parts bike for $100, took off all the parts I needed and resold it for $250!
Used the $250 to go buy a bike lift table, wish I could flip stuff lik that every week!

Did you sell the TA? I can get the time to work on the cars right now. I can shoot/ reload for an hr or 2 and be done. Can get all day to work on the cars wish I could but it dose keep the stress down. Have some relatives in bad health so we are not home much at all right now.

I sold the TA last August, had a 77 Camaro 350 4-speed car for a few months then I sold it. Paid off some bills in preparation for some major changes financially on my job. I can relate to the stress, last year ended on a bad note and the new year hasnt been any better
Just hanging on for the ride...
