What's on 2023

 Hello everyone and happy new year.

I've had a good break although it was boring at times but I needed it the whole time. I'm now back at work and getting back to continuing from where I started.

In terms of friendships, I have a small social circle but hope to expand and eventually meet more people. The trouble I've experienced is a lot of people don't have a clue on how I can meet people but eventually, I found some people to talk to which I grasped onto more strategies. I can remember a colleague of mine mentioning me a good way to meet new people is to be in a schoolyard setting. So, a group of people. I've also realised meeting people on my own can be too daunting and going out with someone can be easier. That's all I've learnt so far.

Also, I'm still aiming for a $5,000 AUD budget to start my new hobby working on cars. What I'm planning to do is once I get to know someone or other people, I could hopefully share a mechanical workshop. Next, I'll buy some junk cars to strip and sell parts and if possible, fix any to a workable standard then sell. I'm intending to use eBay to sell parts. The intriguing thing when selling anything on eBay is when you're setting up a page to sell an item, you set all the details to make anything you sell more specific and point a potential buyer to the right direction.

I could sell parts on the Facebook Marketplace but then, I'll have to type in the description but my concern would be is if a part in fact doesn't match up, it'll have to be returned. By using eBay and picking the right descriptions, it would save me from big hassles. What I aim to do is make things easy for myself as possible as there are a lot of things I haven't done since my move to Pakenham.

Another interesting idea is when I'll get round to buy cars to fix and sell, I came up with an idea I could use whatever profit I'll make to go into my savings account. The bigger idea is once I have the budget, I could put my left over money aside to go towards getting a home loan deposit. Once I have the money for a home loan deposit, it'll be an ultimate ticket to be out of the rental market especially how the rental market is tight and getting tighter. I've been in a good place when I've been placed in a month by month contract with my rental and it's a good idea after all my hard work.

The thing with fixing lawn mowers to sell I found is a good exercise. This is a good idea for flipping. For those unaware, I've bought cheap lawn mowers that require repairs and when they're done, I put them up for sale in the Facebook Marketplace. I'll give you the rundown on all of the lawn movers I've sold.

Cheetah 4 Stroke lawn mower

Bought for $50 AUD

Parts cost $18.60 AUD

Total spent $68.60 AUD

Sold for $100 AUD

Profit $31.40 AUD

Billy Goat T475 lawn mower

Bought for $50 AUD

Parts cost $3.60 AUD

Total spent $53.60 AUD

Sold for $80 AUD

Profit $26.40 AUD

This is an accomplishment which is pleasing. Anyway, I'll keep going.

See you next time!

Anything's Better Than Nothing - Part 1

Hello everyone and I hope you're travelling well towards the middle of the year. Whilst I'm on hiatus and not filling in many shifts at work, I still have the task of tidying up the backyard with the series of trimming back bushes. Just to recap, I was given a task by my parents to tidy up those bushes especially the rose and daisy bushes. Also, we have a grape vine and also trimmed it up as well and one extra bit, it has grown some grapes that we ate. And also, the garden area beside the house has also been tidied up. The gate towards the backyard is all go after the tidy up. With all this, I've been wandering how the messy bushes and trees can affect the value of a house, and if so, how much. I hadn't gone far to considering buying a house yet but it'll be worth understanding how those things can potentially reduce the selling price. Likewise, I'm learning. I've mentioned earlier when I was doing the pruning work in a previous post so for those who are kee...

ASD Inclusion Or Bust

Hello all of you. There's one thing worth showing. What you're looking at is a box of Latuda tablets used to treat Schizophrenia. And it's also been a year since I've stopped taking that medication after my diagnosis of Schizophrenia has been debunked by my latest psychiatrist and psychologist counselling sessions along with anxiety and depression. Those counselling sessions resulted in significant outcomes for myself that I'm not in any way some psychedelic person but someone who's thinking process is way outside the box not to mention the amount of imagination that's off the scales. And this ladies and gentlemen is the strong highlight of an autistic person high on the spectrum such as myself. It'll be worth mentioning that I'm accepting my autism as more an intellectual superpower than a disability over the later years. With all that, I'm embracing my nature with the series of artworks - not just paintings but drawings. We'll take The Noto...

Nine Paintings. Halfway There

Hello again. For those who are able to memorise my emerging arts, that's cool. For those who don't, don't worry. It's been over a year since I've taken up art again from my Abstract Mrs Brinks and the surprisingly acclaimed Black Sheep Banned painting then the rest followed, my artistic movement has been certainly gained momentum. And although there are people who wouldn't normally be as fanatical about art, they certainly become passionate indeed. As my lifelong passion and skill progressed, I've met artistic people who've helped me push on and an unexpected moment for me popped up about an idea of having my own art exhibition. I'll attach this previous post talking about that. My Art Exhibition Prospect (tristanthroup.blogspot.com) From 10 paintings in my portfolio originally to eventually 18 nowadays, it has become a bigger task and not only that, that'll be another part for my bucket list aside doing my future AU Falcon car project. Last year...
