Getting punched a few times and ending up in the ER for a CT scan on Christmas Eve brought about an interesting new year resolution:

I resolve to do more shit.

I won’t get into specifics of how or why that decision was made, but I’ve definitely been lagging in the productivity department for the last half-year. As a general objective now, I’m going to try to use my time more productively. My bobber project has been sitting in half-finished stages for a while now, so that is going to get finished. I’m trying to take some welding classes (because fuck going to school for things that someone else has decided I should do, I’m going to do what I want to do). I want to shoot more photos- no more being stagnant. The camera lives with me again. I want to write more, even if it’s nonsense or tripe that no one gives a shit about or will read at all. Instead of using my days off to chill and bum around, I’m going on more hikes and shooting guns. I might even go cross country skiing or snow shoeing even if it’s not for the ultimate goal of getting pow turns on my snowboard. This spring, I want to summit Hood and hike the T-Line trail. And if I don’t do any of these things, then no big deal. Just a resolution; no rules, bro.

A few days ago, I used a hand-slinger to toss a clay pigeon, and then pulled up my 12 gauge on it and shot it. Happy New year.
