I don't know the meaning of life. I don't know why we are here. I think life is full of anxieties and fears and tears. It has a lot of grief in it, and it can be very grim. And I do not want to be the one who tries to tell somebody else what life is all about. To me it's a complete mystery. - Charles M. Schulz


Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing: No progress. I missed last week, and I will miss next week.

April's GoRuck Tribe 'Laughter' Challenges are ongoing. I still have the Rucking and Additional Challenge, which is to "Strap on your ruck and turn on a hilarious podcast or favorite comedian stand-up. The first time you laugh, drop into a squat like you just heard your name in gym class. Every time after that, add one more squat". I also have the F*CK, which is 2 minutes of Ruck Swings, and the Warrior Poet requirement this month, which is to watch Ronny Chieng: Love to Hate It.

Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: I hope to finish reading Lila: An Inquiry Into Morals by Robert M. Pirsig, on the plane.

In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: I've continued Jim Cobb's Countdown to Preparedness book/assignments. I updated/replaced some of my trauma bag supplies at Kinkfest, and I was given a bigger airway management bag with some extra supplies. I will probably consolidate my gear into that bag this month.

Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: I registered at the State Emergency Registry of Volunteers in Oregon as a member of Multnomah County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC). I have gotten an email back with some online training I will complete within the next three months to get onboarded; I have done nothing with this yet, but I will. Also, I have started completing a bunch of online mental health CEU classes this month because the Oregon Board changed the reporting rules, and my birthdate is an even year.

Base Station/Ol' Number 3: No progress.

Travel/Adventure/Doing Stuff: I have mostly completed managing the Kinkfest Medical Team after six days of pretty intense work. I've spent days with two radios, a deployment bag, and a portable AED. I am very proud of the Medical Team; we responded to many calls, handed out many supplies and band-aids, and kept the crews, staff, and participants safe for the entire event. I attended the Cigar Social at Kinkfest and enjoyed a cigar, a small bottle of The Glenlivet 12, and a travel humidor I got as a gift. I leave for Saguaro Man this morning, where I hope to get two of the oldest 100 geocaches remaining in the world and complete all of my Ranger training.
