So I’m not really good at making resolutions, so I figured I’d make a list of accomplishments I’d like to realize this year.
Some could probably be considered resolutions, but hey, if I don’t deem them as such, I can’t say that I failed to stick to them. :)
1. Lose Weight: I don’t consider myself overweight, and I am in no means overweight when considering my age/height, however, I’m above my target weight. I feel like I’ve eat too much and am not as active as I’d like to be. Here is my plan: Purchase a stationary bike, play Hockey, quit laying around after work.
2. Get back into shape: You’d think that this would fit under No1, but to me, it doesn’t. It might certainly be a result of No1, but I could easily lose weight without increasing my stamina and energy level.
3. Get my General License: Now that the FCC has dropped the Morse Code requirement for all Amateur Radio classes, I have no excuse. I just need to hunker down and study. It really only gains me HF privileges and I don’t have an HF radio, but I would still like to do it.
4. Catch up on new/old Technology: This is pretty much a requirement of my job, but I’ve been doing a lousy job of it lately. I get so busy at work that I don’t have time to read/research/poke around with new technology. And once I get home, I don’t feel like it. I got a few good books for Christmas and need to set aside some time to read them. I also need to read up on a few of the things we’re going to be implementing at work.
5. Cook More: I can do it. I’ve got the tools. I just need to make myself cook. Too many microwave dinners, too much eating out, too many pizzas.
6. Save for a Down Payment: I kinda started this in August but I need to work a little harder at it. A buddy of mine moved in December, seeing his house and helping him move/rearrange made me jealous. I want the flexibility of a house, and I want to start gaining equity. And I want a garage. :)
7. Do something Racy: (Its not what you think Mom) I often say I own a street legal Race Car. And I do. But what have I done with it? Nothing. I want to autocross, or rally or something. Maybe even just go to a performance driving school.
This is the end of Part 1. If/when I think of more, I’ll add a Part 2.
