The Second March 2019 101/1001 Update

I don't believe a champion is the biggest, baddest, meanest dude in the world. I think the champion is like a warrior; it's like the head knight or lead samurai: humble men of integrity, respect, and honor that treat people kindly. - Jon Jones


Goals Completed: 26/108
Goals in Progress: 31

Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing Myself: No real progress. My baselines are still: pushups (25), situps (35). I'm looking forward to getting back in the gym and running and getting in some strength workouts next week. I'll also be looking at both hard and soft styles of martial art schools next week.

Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: I will be fasting starting Monday of next week. I'm still sporadically practicing mindful eating. I'm planning on reading tonight, for the first time in months, although I'll probably fall asleep very early. I have enquired about both a sweat lodge ritual and residency at the Zen Monastery. More Haiku!

Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: No progress.

In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: I have now completed all of the state-certification practical tests for my EMT program and passed the course! Now I have to sign up to take the NREMT cognitive test for licensure. I have gotten a consult to get permanent solar panels installed on the bus this month, and parts are being ordered. The parts are in to upgrade the lights systems onboard Ol' Number 3 so they draw less power, and that should happen about the end of the month. I will be testing my temporary, portable system for emergency power very soon. Land acquisition is still in the functional testing stage.

Travel/Adventure/Doing Stuff: No progress.
