Every year I enjoy making resolutions. I am pretty decent about keeping them, so I am going to try these this year...


1. NO NEW GUNS. Good lord I buy way too many guns. I have already paid for two suppressors and want to SBR and SBS two firearms I already own, but that is IT!!!!

Ammo and repairs are not covered by this. I will still be shooting just as much. In fact, I plan on shooting even more, and to take more classes.

2. Be nicer to folks.

3. Agree to do less. You can't please everyone. I am going to try and agree to do less, but make sure I do what I promise.



All right, anybody else have any?

1. Buy more ammo.

2. Get a set of hearing aids. I'm tired of reading lips and saying "Excuse me?" :(

3. Sell off some unused guns and holsters. Focus on what I shoot frequently. Make some room in the safe.

4. Sell off some knives, making more room in the safe.

5. Get more training. Take two pistol classes, and one AR class.

6. Make sure I tell my children I love them every single day.

1) Get serious again dropping weight
2) Do not settle for B's in college when I know I can get A's
3) Finish the wife's and my ARs
4) Get my CCW
5) At the least take an appleseed class to relearn the basics, then take classes for the pistol and AR with the wife.
6) Remember to tell my wife I love her, and how lucky I am to have her.

I resolve to slouch my way toward personal mediocrity. Being this stellar is absolutely exhausting, and I'm not getting any younger.

Riverine, shoot me an email if you need any pointers. As a long time underachiever I've got it pretty well figured out. Downside is I probably won't write back because well, you know, I don't really care and it takes too much effort.

Never ever made any in my life but am now a 'Breast Cancer' husband... so I have an extensive list which I must succeed at.
1. Pray that no one who hasn't experienced it ever does.
2. Help my wife to survive. Be there for her when I can.
3. Thank the Lord for every day I have with her.
4. Stop feeling sorry for myself her disease must be a lesson I am being taught for being a cold heartless bastard all of my life. It has sure humbled me.
5. Read the 'Practical Applications Bible'.
6. Open myself up to anyone in the same boat.
7. Appreciate people for what we are all trying to do ...get home.

I can do this...
