You always see these "what I plan to do this year" type posts around this time period. Similar to "new year's resolutions." Or as the boy calls it after seeing so many flood the gyms the first of the year then be gone by mid January- "New WEEK'S resolutions." As in, most only LAST a week or so.
I'm guilty of not getting everything I wanted to accomplish done. Water system upgrades are still in progress, although the way things are being put into place "the body will function without all the limbs." So being a leg short so to speak, the body continues to function. But it will function better with all the limbs :)
Long term storage upgrades were completed, I posted about some of those- "Paper or plastic?" and the renovations to storage containers.
On the minus side- got very little done in food production upgrades, about a dozen blueberry bushes in, that was about it. One of the broody hens, sat on, hatched out and raised a dozen chickens. Helping to perpetuate the chicken flock.
Physically stayed about the same, been holding at 180-185 now for several years since the cut. Running was no where near as consistent as in previous years but honestly I didn't see much difference in fighting, running drills, carry gear, etc.
Health wise the family fought off a lot of crude this year, with them basically being down for almost 2 months this summer. That affected the amount of things we could get accomplished a good bit. Extended family members on both sides went through various cancers, surgeries and treatment. I spent probably a month hanging around hospitals and doctor's offices this year, none of which involved my health thankfully.
This was a 5th year for us and that means a car rotation if necessary. Two cars, each bought new (alternatively) and kept 10 years. Every five years you probably need to buy a new one. Although we are driving for work considerably less now, so we may be able to extend this in the future. So a good portion of income this year went to saving up and paying cash for a new truck.
Did the normal put back some more food, ammo, etc. deals. Didn't get to too many training classes this year save a couple of Max's classes and some Systema seminars. I've done a "fair amount" of the mainstream weapons classes that honestly I don't get a helluva lot out of too many of them any more.
How was your year? Did it shape up like you wanted to? What are you "carrying over" to 15 on your to do lists?
