101/1001 Update

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. - Helen Keller


Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing Myself: I'm up to 26 consecutive pushups and 36 crunches.

Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: I'm still reading The Essence of Budo, by Dave Lowry. Haiku below.

Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: I reviewed my credit report. I filed my taxes and did all of my bookkeeping for last year and the first quarter of this year.

In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: In my yearly survival/bug out drill under different conditions, 'global pandemic', I'm sheltering in place with plenty of food and supplies. In fact, I'm organizing and consolidating my gear at the Staging Area. Burning Man and all of the festivals have canceled, allowing me to prioritize Base Station. Most of my goals that involve travel, other people, or experiences - postponed.

Base Station/Ol' Number 3: The project to place underground power is paid for (thanks, Dad!). Building materials finally arrived today for the contractor to start construction on the Gate House. I paid off all of the bills owed, but there wasn't enough to be able to gravel the driveway again. Soon!

Travel/Adventure/Doing Stuff: I found a couple of urban caches on the 5th, getting another day of the month I needed on my Found by Found Date Stats. I need two more days this month.


Money is tight, but all of my bills are paid. I'm healthy and safe, working on some of the few remaining possible goals on my 101/1001 list. My client load is way down, but so are my expenses. Everything will be okay.

more books, mindfulness;
