The Second August 2019 101/1001 Update

Goals Completed: 41/108
Goals in Progress: 19
Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing Myself: The Spartan Race was successfully run, and I've got another Spartan medal. *amile*
Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: I will formally sit Zazen tonight which will complete another goal. I am almost finished reading both a book in my permanent library, Budoshinsho, and a new book, Smokejumper. I will be fasting starting August 21, which will complete yet another goal.
Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: No progress.
In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: My friend came over and cut down those old fire-damaged trees, and I'm glad he did. One of the two trees fell perfectly, but the other tree (partly because of the damage) fell right where the bus would have been in spite of cuts to get it to fall at a different angle - a true widowmaker! Although it bounced off the power line, it did no damage to the line. I've got a serious job of bucking up some wood before I can move Ol' Number 3 into position, but once that's done she will move into her optimal position and I can deploy solar panels and consider radio antennas. Also, the concrete work has been completed on the foundation of the GateHouse pad and passed inspection, and I've made good progress on digging out the area for the retaining wall/french drain.
Travel/Adventure/Doing Stuff: I'm hoping to get one more natural hot springs (which would complete another goal) and some hiking in the Gorge this weekend.
There's less than a month left on this 101/1001 list. If I'm lucky, I'll end up with 45 completed goals. *smile*
