Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing Myself: I've attended one Shaolin Kung Fu classes and no Qi Gong/Yang Tai Chi classes these last two weeks. I've made no progress with the Yang Staff Form. We ran this year's Spartan Race, finishing just as it started raining, and we did better than last year. *smile* This completes a goal. I still have the Bimbo 10K and the Turkey Trot as races this year.
September's Goruck 'Reflect' Tribe challenges are ongoing. I still have the workout, the "9/11 Tribute", which is a Buy In 2001 Meter Ruck, and then 9 rounds of 11 Push-Ups (Slick) and 11 Sandbag Thrusters (60-lb. sandbag), and then a Cash Out of another 2001 Meter Ruck. The rucking and additional requirements for the month are to "Ruck one mile each day for the 30 days in September." I have watched the 'film of the month', a documentary, “Refuge” by Erin Bernhardt and Din Blankenship - a different way to think about class, racism, and various cultures more compassionately. I am caught back up to current on the rucking and additional challenges, and I have completed the F*CK, which was to ruck one mile for time - completed in 16:53.
Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: I've slowed down progress with the books in this entry. Still in progress: The Disaster-Ready Home: A Step-by-Step Emergency Preparedness Manual for Sheltering in Place by Creek Stewart, and Hidden in Plain Sight: Esoteric Power Training Within Japanese Martial Traditions: Tracing the Roots of Ueshiba Morihei's Power, by Ellis Amdur(editor). One more loving-kindness metta!
Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: No progress. I did get my flu, Covid, and Tetanus vaccines.
In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: No progress.
Base Station/Ol' Number 3: We signed the contractor paperwork for the New Shop build, and construction will start in October. I have cut away some weeds and blackberries around the mailbox and garbage pickup area, and I have a lot more machete and line trimmer work to do, as well as clearing out the area where the shop will go. I still have to dig out the doghouse area for the generator and then install it, but that project has been delayed for excavation. I've ordered and received the heavier-duty power cord, and I'm working on scheduling the electrical upgrades. I am still designing planters and a deer fence, and staging garden supplies, at the garden site.
Travel/Adventure/Doing Stuff: No progress.
