2016 was an interesting year with many positive and many negative events in our lives. We are looking forward to turning the page to 2017.


Physical:

I suffered a pretty debilitating back injury in the fall of 2016. My number one goal is to get back to 100% and ensure it never happens again.

1) Continue physical therapy exercises daily (luckily I am married to a very skilled therapist ;))
2) Some sort of physical activity daily (including stretching or yoga daily).
3) Start weight training again. I never had any physical problems until I stopped training. Going old school with the iron.
4) Drop 40+ pounds.
5) Start riding my bikes again (both road and mountain).
6) I'd like to start taking BJJ, but need to get well and more fit first. I'll consider this my stretch goal

Jeep:

1) Install Dynatrac brakes
2) Install King bump stops (still sitting in the garagel)
3) Clean up wiring rats nets...install switch pros or something similar
4) Update to LED rock lights while doing #3
5) We will take a close look at the Smittybilt Recon trailer if/when it comes out. If it looks decent we will buy one and use it for camping
6) Be better on routine maintenance.
7) Finish cleaning/organizing my garage....this will make all of this section easier
8) Attend the Wayalife Moab trip if the timing works for us.


Personal:

I spent a lot of time in the last year or so focused on making sure our financial future was secured. We have been fortunate to make great strides in that regard and most of it is automated now, so my goal is to not focus on it at all, but rather focus on enjoying life and living in the moment more.

1) Continue reading a book a month (a carry over from my 2016 goals which I very much enjoyed...all books from the library of course...that's for Sharkey, Overland and Russ).
2) Strive to be the best husband/father I can be.
3) Another epic Hawaii vacation...this is already being planned and shaping up nicely.
4) Learn to meditate.
5) I'd like to try a sensory deprivation tank.


Well that seems like a decent start.

What you you hope to accomplish in 2017?

Jeep
1) Get on 37s (that means driveshaft, gears, tires, possibly ProGrips, Cs, and programmer)
2) Go on at least one epic, multi-day Jeeping trip
3) Take my wife wheeling so she can experience this too
4) Go to Moab (it's only 5 hours away so I am without excuse)
5) Go on at least one trail run with other Wayalifers
6) Figure out how to fit in the garage, sell the roof rack, or make sure the house we buy has an extra tall garage

Personal
1) Read my Bible 5/7 days a week
2) Hit my goal of 8000 steps a day and do some pushups/situps throughout my day
3) Go deer hunting in the Fall
4) Get more involved with Alpine SAR team. Use Jeep to max extent for this.

Career
1) Launch VTS and get to 3000 subscribers. That would allow my wife to cut back shifts at the hospital and myself to focus on that and quit my current day job.

Seriously....

1) Sell house
2) Work on my degree (GI Bill expires end of January 2018)
3) Pay off as much debt as possible (will be easier if house sells)
4) Try to do more physical activities and be a little healthier.
5) Read the entire Bible.
6) Go on at least one Jeep trip (did my first ever this year and it was an incredible time).

Oh yeah...... Don't die.

Continue to be the most honest and hardworking business owner and set an example for my employees.

Do my best to support my family and the families of my employees.

Be the best husband and father I can be. This is actually first.

The jeep stuff will all work out if the first three are done. Oh but I would love to get my death wobble cured when I get time to wrench
