Life can be pretty funny I got laid off twice in a <6mo period in late 2024/early 2025 Now I’m making more money than before and I get to golf any afternoon that I want to

I was playing a quick 9 this afternoon by myself when another solo golfer wanted to join me on the 5th hole And I’m sure glad he did because a hole in one with no witnesses would have been brutal Shoutout to Dylan the trucker that ended up being an awesome playing partner and hype man
Picked up golf again a few months ago after not playing much the past decade Got my first hole in one today! ⛳️

Yesterday was our biggest sales day since February - couple hundred bucks short of passing the 2/13 high which was our most daily sales since 2024
That didn’t last long 📈📈📈

What do we think this 1999 Ford E-350 cutaway van with 40,000 miles is worth? Might buy it for a family transport vehicle for our vacation spot in Northern MI
