2013 "To Do List"

[gsarchie]

Jinx - What are NP and CNS? I've heard that Shasta is a good time and I'd love to get Whitney under my belt. I had a buddy head up to Denali this summer but he didn't get above 17,000 due to weather being terrible.

Sounds awesome Chris. I am going to be getting some egg hens myself, and while the limit in Colorado Springs is 6 I may get more. We'll see when I get home, I guess.

NP is nurse practioner i think. CNS means central nervous system to me but prolly stands for cert. nursing something...

Jinx if you do end up getting your jeep lifted, post pics of it!

@gsarchie: Nice goals! Living off the land is pretty cool. I'd like to do so when I get my own house! Best of luck to you!
@Chris: Good goals as well! If you ever want some pointers on making chili powder, feel free to ask! My grandmas been forcing me to make some ever since I was seven! Haha.

1.) Get into the college of my desire.
2.) Graduate within the top 15% of my class.
3.) Somehow get a Boa Constrictor/SD Retic without the parents knowing.
4.) Get a job at my local zoo.
5.) Try to change my attitude and be more sociable.
6.) Lean out a bit and get toned.
7.) Eat one of everything on the Taco Bell menu. (Contradicts the previous statement haha)


And that's about it. I'll add more when I think of some things.

So...... your #7 is the most awesomest goal that I've ever heard.

Yep, NP is nurse practitioner and CNS is clinical nurse specialist. I should have time to study for the boards while on "vacation"...

I will definitely get pics up of the Jeep when it gets re-done.

I know I promised on my other thread a long term set of goals by yesterday but quickly realized its going to take more than a couple days to figure out that far into the future. So, I decided that I share some of my basic goals from now until the end of 2013.
From now til Dec. 31 2012:
Hike 10 miles in one day
Buy my first set of corn snakes
Make my own chili powder
Do some volunteer work for Christmas
Cut down on eating out
Practice smart spending
Build a snake rack
Start breeding red worms
Get another tattoo
Take my family to Chimney Rock
Go on my first deer hunt
Now for 2013:
Go skiing
Hike 20 miles in one day
Hike 250 miles over the course of the entire year
Buy a mountain bike
Play 5 disc golf courses I've never played before (maybe make this 10)
Plant a garden
Get milk goats
Get 3 more egg layer chickens
Cut grocery shopping to once a month
Only eat out once a week
Take a college course towards something I enjoy (music or biology or vet tech)

I'm sure once I get the time to sit down and really think where I truly want to go in life this list will grow. Now I just have to make all or most of my goals achievable so I stay motivated to stick with them.

I'm glad to see you picked corns! Do you know what morphs you are interested in? And some time in the next 3 years me and my dad are going to go muzzleloading in Colorado for elk. Should be a blast!

My goals for 2013 are:
Make 2 hatchling racks
Breed one of my corns
Sell most of the hatchlings at "local" shows
Buy an ap rack
Buy at least one hognose or a couple more corns(just the beginning)
Build another mouse rack

2020:
Go to the NBA.

I think they are pretty realistic goals.

I think I'm going to pick up a female opal and amel and a male sunkissed.

Hope you make the NBA!

@theReptileGuy I like your goals, I hope you get a job at a zoo, that would be awesome. And you'll have to share your chili recipe with me.

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?

Wow! I wish I was that motivated to do things!

For 2013:

1. Finish my left sleeve
2. Hatch out a BEL
3. Hatch out a pied
4. Get 1.2 sumatran short tails
5. Get the garage converted into reptile room so there's room for more racks

and thats about it

11) Brew a batch of beer every two months (for a total of 6 batches, or 30 gallons of beer).

Have you brewed before or is this a new venture? I've been brewing professionally for more than 10 years. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
