If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything. I'm positive that a doer makes mistakes. - John Wooden


Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing Myself: I'm still working on gains with regular training of consecutive pushups and crunches. I'm still taking daily long walks in the neighborhood; I participated in a Fitbit challenge, a 'Work Week Hustle', based on the number of steps for five days. I set two PBRs this week for steps (39,743 steps on Wednesday and 41,088 steps on Friday) as well as a PBR of 136,975 steps in 5 days. I've already canceled my gym membership in favor of martial arts training, but I've not committed to starting until it's safe. I have cashed in some reward points to get a GoRuck bag to train with, and it's in transit now.

Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: I'm still reading The Philosophy of Aikido by Stevens and Budoshoshinshu by Daidoji Yuzan. 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. *sigh* Or, time for anything. I also have a few Red Cross classes to finish up.

Base Station/Ol' Number 3: The shell of the Gate House is finished, and the interior design and construction project has been transferred to the Old Man; I'm calling this a completed goal as far as my 101 list. The internet and phone lines for Base Station are installed from the Gate House to the street, but the internet provider still has to dig and finish the fiber optic cable, a 2-3 week delay. The well/water system consult was completed; we had a good water return rate and good initial water testing, but I'm waiting for the report to make a decision about how to proceed.

The automatic gate opener project (a new goal) was started and we are waiting for parts to arrive, and research is also in progress for the actual gate opener. We also created a system for pumping the tanks on the RV trailer where the Old Man is currently living, and also refilled the potable water.

Travel/Adventure/Doing Stuff: I hosted an outside geocaching event with the appropriate social distancing and face coverings today, well within the Oregon Health Authority guidelines. This completed the one day of July that I needed to find a geocache for my Found by Find Date stats. I stood on a wing of a 727-200 Boeing aircraft that had been converted to a private home and socialized with my nerdy friends. *grin* More info here about the Airplane Home here: https://www.airplanehome.com/
