Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it. - Oprah Winfrey


Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing Myself: I'm back to regular training of consecutive pushups and crunches. I'm still taking daily long walks in the neighborhood. I've cleared more space at the Staging Area for bodyweight exercises. I've canceled my gym membership in favor of martial arts training.

Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: I'm still reading The Philosophy of Aikido by Stevens and Budoshoshinshu by Daidoji Yuzan. Both are books one reads a short bit, and then has to digest what was read. I'm still training mindfulness with my eating patterns.

Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: No progress.

In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: I am still utilizing the ReadyMan Plan2Survive Program. I still haven't started the FEMA online course. There's been very little time for studying.

Base Station/Ol' Number 3: The shell of the Gate House is finished. The internet and phone lines for Base Station are installed from the Gate House to the street, but the internet provider has to dig and finish the fiber optic cable, a 2-3 week delay. The well/water system consult will also be started next week.

Most importantly, however, The Old Man is safely at Base Station, away from the sociopolitical failures of Texas, and settled in for a two-week quarantine. He's got books, groceries, and projects. He will plan and supervise the construction of the interior of the Base Station and the Ham Shack, as well as the gravel and concrete RV pad for Ol' Number 3 and the RV where The Old Man is living, and putting in an automatic gate opener.

Travel/Adventure/Doing Stuff: No progress.
