grim23“I want to be around people that do things. I don’t want to be around people anymore that judge or talk about what people do. I want to be around people that dream and support and do things.” ― Amy Poehler
Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing Myself: I'm still working on gains with regular training of consecutive pushups and crunches, and I've started a 100 pushups a day challenge (currently, five sets of 20, and working to 100 consecutive pushups). I'm still taking daily long walks in the neighborhood with my GoRuck bag, and the 20-pound weight that goes in the ruck arrives this week. I signed up for another virtual race, the Oregon Coast Run/Walk/Bike Challenge. The race is approximately 350 miles long and I have the "Summer" (July 1st until September 30th) to complete the challenge.
On my walks around the neighborhood this week, I was able to find a large organizer board in a free box to consolidate my lists and make them more visual. With all of the projects and all of the goals I've set for myself, I need to be able to see the big picture in a glance. There's a big 'notes' section, a 'call' section, and smaller days of the week/timeline spaces. Perfect! Plus, a place to hang my keys. *smile*
Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: I've finished reading The Philosophy of Aikido and also The Alchemist by Paul Coelho, completing a 101 goal - but I'm restarting the same goal to replace it. I've picked up Sacred Hoops, by Phil Jackson, the Head Coach of the Chicago Bulls - an oddly good book about mindfulness. I'm still reading Budoshoshinshu by Daidoji Yuzan, from my permanent library. I have finished Range, by David Epstein, for my first book on my psychology-related list. I'm still training mindfulness with my eating patterns, and I note that I've dropped my daily calorie intake to an average of under 2000 calories a day, and increased my activity level. I've attended (virtually) a class on Navigating Racism During A Pandemic.
Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: No progress.
In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: No progress.
Base Station/Ol' Number 3: 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, and is MIA. The well/water system test report is completed, and the water system is viable. The final electrical inspection for the Gate House is completed. I restarted my herb garden: Oregano, Basil, and a "summer gourmet mix" of several other herbs. I've ordered planter boxes for a Fall garden.
This week we're going to work on the automatic gate opener and the base for the RV hookup. We will also start planning for the Pump House, the retaining walls and pole barn, and also consider the antenna base placement. We'll have both potable water for the Gate House, and non-potable water systems for irrigation.
Travel/Adventure/Doing Stuff: No progress.
