2021 Goals/Resolution

Sell my house in Massachusetts;
Move to Montana by August;
Get my body tuned to hike with loads on my back;
Invest in gear for backcountry hunting;
Retire or just work part time to pay for health insurance;
Spend more time with my lovely wife;
Fish and hunt more.
 
Finish my home remodel (was supposed to be done already)
Take our 2 annual vacations with wife and kids
Continue getting kids (2 and 5) involved in the outdoors
Plan and book next hunting trip with dad (moose or caribou)
Take as many fishing trips as possible with the buddies
Exercise more and lose 10-20
 
-get another moose in September
-blacktail hunt
-goat or sheep hunt (let’s see what the draw brings)
-50” pike
-lots of big rainbows on the fly rod
-Texas audad with my father

-drink less, I don’t drink often but when I do I tend to overdo it. A scotch or a beer is fine, I don’t need to have 7 beers or drink half the bottle of scotch though.

-do more long range shooting and reloading over the winter so I can shelf it for the summer and focus on fishing, I always find myself scrambling in July to get loads worked up and rifles dialed in, I do so much fishing during the summers I just don’t shoot that much.

-do lots of pack hiking over the summer, again, I often let that one slip because I’m fishing so much during the long days up here, then I find myself really scrambling in July.

-plan ahead for seasonal supply shortages, fishing gear is always sold out during the summer and backpacking meals are always sold out during the fall.
 
1- intentional growth in my faith in Christ. (Bible study and witnessing)
2- kids are now teenagers, my wife and I are planning more adventures with them at least quarterly
3- move UP one pay grade @ work
4- continue training with my 14 year old son and monthly ‘life lessons

Praying for a blessed and successful 2021!
 
-Make it until December 17th when I RETIRE.
-Complete the 12 month Mtntough workout program.
-First bear, elk, turkey. Any or all.
-Nail down details for a Dall sheep hunt.
-Figure out how to use all the woodworking tools in the woodshop I inherited.

And for god's sake would someone please take away my debit card and internet shopping ability............
 
Stay sober. 4 weeks so far.
if this time doesn’t stick, it’s off to rehab for me. Or so I’m told.
You should try inside mind and alcohol explained. I’ve heard good things about both. At the end of the day, you’ve just got to realize the stuff isn’t doing you any favors. Good luck.
 
1) Learn Spanish (downloaded DuoLingo last night and have day 1 in the books)
2) Start JuJitsu
3) Fly fishing trip in August to Alaska with Dad who will be celebrating his 2 years sober
4) Read entire Bible, starting with New Testament.

That's cool you and your father have made that commitment.

Never regretted any of the time I spent training jiujitsu. Change how you see the world.
 
How do you like Duolingo so far ?
After years of learning nothing with school Spanish it seems to be extremely intuitive, much like the learning to read books in English I buy my boys. All the reviews say it works the best. Going to do it for the year and upgraded to the premium for 4.99 a month.
 
L
1) hug my wife more
2) hug my kids more
3) eat fewer processed sugars
4) drink less alcohol
5) lose about 15#s by September
6) get the archery elk monkey off my back
Love your first two. I need to do both of those more as well. I will for sure add those to my list.

Put me on the list if you need some support. 1557 days here (free NOMO app counter)
Best decision I ever made for myself, every aspect of my life has improved vastly.
Still have those days, less than more, but one day at a time brother. I remind myself what the alcohol took and never gave any thing in return.
