LIST UPDATE

It's been a minute since I blogged (sorry, #19) despite constant reminders to do it. Thanks to those reminders, I'm finally getting a post out.

Since it's been so long since my last post, I'm going to give a quick recap of how the list is going with the hope that going forward I'll update more frequently and with more depth. (I'm only going to list the items that have seen movement)

Feast your eyes on this...
2. Install a new wiring harness in the firebird
This has been ordered. The interior has been ripped out as has the dash. I've got a buddy coming in town in a week or so to help with the heavy lifting. Hopefully, in the next couple weeks this can be checked off the list.

3. Generally get the firebird up and running (if I listed everything that was required for the car to run reliably, it would be my entire list)
I'm hoping this will also be accomplished shortly after the wiring harness is installed

4. Change my hunting tactic (mainly for duck, goose, and turkey) and go fewer times but stay out longer. Basically, reduce the frequency and increase the intensity.
Haven't had the chance to put this into action yet, but turkey season is in full swing and I'm hoping to get into the woods in the next few weeks.

9. Create a healthy lifestyle that is sustainable
For the most part I am heading in the right direction...there were a few bumps and then I took about a month off, but I'm back on the right path. There are still things that need work and fine-tuned, but I think that's always going to be the case.

10. Get down to 205
I was working out 4+ times a week for the first 2.5 months of the year, then I took a month off. After that, my workouts have dropped to 3ish times a week. But, I have created a plan to get that number back to 5 a week. Stay tuned.

11. Submit an article to Field and Stream
This has been completed!! Although, the day after I submitted the article I received an issue in the mail that was all about user stories. So, maybe a day late and a buck short on this one. But, I'm going to submit the article to another publication.

12. Submit an article to Guidepost
I didn't do this, but I did submit an article to Runner's World. So, I'm calling this one done

13. Read 6 books - 3 for fun and 3 for work
I've read 2 books for fun and 1 for work.

17. Mountain bike - at least 5 times
I've gone one time. It wasn't pretty or overly technical, but I was out there.

24. Create the tradition of making a big healthy meal on Sunday evenings - 2x/month
I've found cooking a big Sunday night meal is something I really enjoy and look forward to most of the weekend. I have been doing this more than 2x/month for the most part.

We've enrolled Brooks in a running club that meets on Sunday nights, so it's kinda put a wrench in this list.  Side note, Brooks has never once ran at running club. So, we basically load him up, take him there, watch other kids run then come home. But, it's almost over and I can get back to this.


So, I've got my work cut out for me to get the remaining items checked off the list. I'll keep ya posted on a (hopefully) more regular basis.

As you were.
