I know that it's a little early for a 2013 list but I don't get home from Afghanistan until December, so I can't really plan much for this year. Here are my goals for 2013:
1) Move my family out to CO and give the relationship with the wife one more shot.
2) Summit 18,500' Pico de Orizaba in Mexico.
3) Summit two new 14ers in CO before 21 Feb, which will give me three 14ers summited in calendar winter.
4) Buy an olive python.
5) Summit 10 more new 14ers in CO during spring, summer and fall, bringing my total around half of the 14,000' peaks in CO.
6) Summit 14,410' Mt. Rainier in WA.
7) Camp in the Long Draw area of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison River.
8) Pass the promotion board in the summer and pin on the rank of Captain in November.
9) Have my Special Forces Selection packet picked up and either go to or be scheduled for a selection class date.
10) Breed ball pythons for the first time and hopefully get some eggs in 2014.
11) Brew a batch of beer every two months (for a total of 6 batches, or 30 gallons of beer).
12) Have an awesome garden.
13) Buy some chickens and a sheep (chickens for eggs, a sheep to raise over the summer and slaughter in the winter for winter stew meat and lamb roasts).
That is it for now. Things may be added as time progresses but nothing will be removed from the list!
So what are all of your goals for next year?
