101/1001 Update

β€œIt’s fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.” – Bill Gates


Body/Martial Arts/Physical Improvement/Testing Myself: Once again, I've attended no 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. I did, however, run/fast-walk the Bimbo 10K.

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 am staying up to date regarding the rucking and additional challenges.

Mind/Spirit/Centering/Health: I've made some 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). I attended a 1-CEU webinar, Evolution Masterclass: Comprehensive Approaches to Trauma Care. I also participated in another virtual metta meditation; I am finding some solace in these meditations.

Maintenance/Shit Got To Be Done: No progress. I have renewed my state license and national certifications.

In Case of Zombies/Disaster Preparation: I have taken another Stop The Bleed class at the ABR Academy. I'm scheduled to attend the 2024 Oregon EMS Conference and take an extra Wilderness Medicine class and a Stop The Bleed Instructor course next week.

Base Station/Ol' Number 3: My nephew came out to Base Station this last week; it was great to see him. We moved the generator out of the way of the upcoming excavation, and I plan to spend some time moving most of the smaller things this week.

Travel/Adventure/Doing Stuff: No progress. I DM'd the Deviance Party again, attended a McMenamins Brewfest, returned books to the Kinky Library, and made progress inventorying the existing medical supplies for Kinkfest.
