    My main goal for 2019 is to hit age 40 so hard that the police will be looking for witnesses and hauling it's carcass off the train tracks...
    While I skip away smiling.

    And to continue trying my best to follow the rules below.

    1. Stronger, faster, further, smarter. Everyday, do something to improve.
    2. Patience is a tool. A very useful, often rewarding one.
    3. Attempt to make a stranger smile daily. A compliment, a helping hand or just a smile to greet them.
    4. Be the hardest worker in the room. Every room.
    5. Don't waste time on insignificant things or people.


    Purchases? I intend to get a lot of new maps and fill the car up with gas a lot this year seeing new places and experiencing new things.

    I’ve had friends on the lookout for a boat trailer, you’d think they wouldn’t be hard to find what with all the flooding and high water.

    Traffic law here says if an object sticks out over 3’ past the tailgate you have to get a $5 permit everytime you haul it.

    I see I’m way late to the party but setting goals is important.

    1. Buy less knives then last year. Shouldn’t be hard. Only bought five I believe.
    2. Commit to carrying a multitool on my body daily. Started this a couple months ago. No slowing down.
    3. Carry a pistol more often. Practice. Test more ammo.
    4. Read more
    5. Get back in the field hunting. Fish more.
    6. Drink more water and much less pop and monster. Carry water as often as possible.
    7. Fix broken stuff rather then replacing.

    And the important stuff.
    - lose more weight, increase cardio.
    -continue to focus on the family. Increase family time with parents and grandparents.
    -worry, complain, argue, and burn bridges a lot less.
    -enjoy life.


    Stuff I want to buy
    -another Remington 870 or mossberg 590 for use as a truck/bug out gun.
    -compact binoculars
    -a few Milwaukee M12 tools to round out my tool set.

    Lose weight. I quit smoking one year ago Saturday. But damn did I pack on the weight. It's taking its toll on me. My goal now is to lose weight by cutting out as much sugar and processed foods as possible, which will make my diet much better in the process. I'm on day two right now and it sucks. Easily as hard as quitting smoking.

    Yeah, I plan to go up to his backyard and jump off the First Blood cliff at some point as soon as I can round up @Andy the Aussie. Definitely some nice terrain there.

    I am happy to be the support crew for your adventure @DYSPHORIC JOY !!! I will scout the terrain and selected the CORRECT tree for you to throw yourself into !!!!!! If needs be I will also thread the needle for you to sew yourself back up with !!!

    I LOVE that terrain.... !!! I have spent a bit of time in Canada and lots in Oregon.... it is so very different to our world here in Aus and (being a teenager of the 80s) First Blood made me just love those big trees and forest (not so much mines). I probably also thought of spraying rounds randomly out of an M60 at times. Once, on a military range here, I did explain that holding your mouth funny and screaming "rrrrraaaaahhhhhhhhhh" as you loosed a 100 round burst from the hip with your pig increased it's accuracy and hitting power at least four fold !!

    I'm not sure there's much I plan to purchase, but I darn sure plan to get outside more. More hiking/hunting/fishing/camping and a bit more time on the motorcycle. Truth be told I already have all the stuff I need to do those things and more, so most of what I'll be spending $$$ on is getting to the places I want to do all of the aforementioned things at.

    Being that I'm the newly elected president of the Salinas Bowmen club my goal is to keep the range at the level it is (which is really good) and improve on that. We have a 27 acre property within a grove of oak trees. A practice range that has multiple stations that start at 20 yards and increase by 5 yards ending at a 55 yard station. A broadhead practice range. A run of 28 stations throughout the property with various distances of 10 yards and up to 120 yards. A separate trail for 3D targets which has 18 of them. This is not a completely flat terrain so one will be challenged with various uphill and downhill situations. The 3D trail gives one the ability to shoot from all different locations thus choosing from unobstructed shots or shooting within the trees. The greatest thing about this range is that it is private. Club Members Only. We do hold two shoots that are open to the public but it is not uncommon for a club member to have a 27 acre range all to themselves.
    The previous regime has left this range in great shape and I already have been networking with key members that will help with taking it to a whole new level of improvement.

    After giving it a lot of careful consideration, I've added another goal to my list for 2019:

    I hereby commit to not making a single feather stick this year.
    (which is no different than last year)

    :D

    Get rid of debt.

    So we can buy a new car.




    Which seems ironic, but I told the wife we aren’t gaining any new debt until we get rid of the old.
