Wrapping Up 2025 – 12/31/2025

¿Can you believe another year has gone by?! While 2025 was in many ways not what I expected it to be, some unexpectedly good things also came about as I will explain in this video of wrapping up 2025; this is more or less the theme of this year, & while I’m not sure how I feel on certain things, I have to ask, am I just being foolishly optimistic? I was forced to finally get a whole new cat-back exhaust system for the 3500 (SRW); this video starts underneath the truck showing what the Flowmaster #717930 exhaust kit looks like and how it’s been faring for almost the month I’ve had it. This year, I was also forced to finally pull the trigger on getting myself a new office chair. My old one of 15 years finally bought it! I got myself a new Emerge Vortex Bonded Leather Ergonomic Gaming Chair which I purchased from Staples. I got the one that was the black & blue color scheme; it appears that Emerge’s manufacturer part number for this chair with this color scheme is #2710764, while Staples’ SKU number for this chair is #58293-CC. The only other significance for this year, was the discovery of being able to have timestamps in the photos my phone takes & I show in the video how to enable that! I’ve pointed out in the past that the timestamps were the reason I kept my Nikon Coolpix L830 in service as long as I have; my discovery of this has led to the retirement of the Nikon Coolpix L830 after a little over 10 years! Showing all of that, I give my final thoughts & feelings about 2025 & just some general outlooks I might have on life.
