First post of the new year.
2008 was kind of a lame year for me in some ways (although it did have it’s highlights)…some of my more ambitious efforts/ideas never really took off for various reasons. Work was stellar. The personal life suffered as a result.
2009 has me off to a much better start already on the flip side, and its looking like work is going to suffer a bit whether I want it to or not, due to congressional funding shortfalls.
Goals for ‘09:
- Complete P90X - on Day 4 now…shoulders/back and ab ripper just rocked my world. The diet is actually pretty sweet…its stuff I usually eat anyways, except loaded w/ way more veggies. Aint like it starves you either…supposedly I’m supposed to eat 3000 calories a day - I don’t think I need that many.
- Finish getting the Piety House tricked out - already making headway there.
- Finish the pilots license - I haven’t flown in over a year now (well, except for work), but I’m only a written test and probably 15 - 20 flight hours away!
- Obtain IRAD funding at work so I can work up a demo for an idea I had…and keep myself employed…
- Learn how to file a patent. File a patent.
- Dirt Bike at Glamis at least once.
- Backpack at least once.
- Get my average golf score into the low 90’s (yes, that is ambitious for me heh).
- Build an automated video surveillance suite for my house.
- Finish kitting out the AR-15.
- Bag a Coyote with the AR-15.
- Read at least one book each month.
- Decide on what to pursue for an M.S…I’m leaning back towards astrodynamics again. Starting to miss outer space.
- Get the home electronics bench fully stocked.
Ok that’ll have to do for now.
