I would make a New Year’s resolution if there was anything about myself that I knew I could change. But I am stubbornly intransigent, ornery, embedded in my habits, and vainly proud of my flaws. So, there is nothing to change.
Each new year, I reset the counters on my workout spreadsheet:
Total pounds of iron lifted.
Average iron per workout day.
Average iron per calendar day.
Total aerobic minutes.
Average aerobic minutes per workout day.
Average aerobic minutes per calendar day.
Ratio of workout days to calendar days.
My only goal is to not do less than the prior year.
For 2025, I may add:
Days at the range
Rounds fired.
Tracking the numbers is a great motivator. I cannot tell you how many times I wanted to skip a workout, but when I looked at the numbers, I mustered the self-discipline.
I would never recommend that anyone hold their breath while waiting for any government to reduce its size and reach.
Governments are nothing more than a specific type of bureaucracy. Never, ever forget the number one priority of bureaucracies: increasing their size and reach.
Abolishing the ATF sounds like a good deal and a good start.
I have proudly kept the most important New Year’s resolution, not to make any more stupid New Year’s resolutions for over *50* years now.
And I will not break it… 😉
Geoff, I haven’t made any New Year’s resolutions either, but if I did……………………….
Hush, Geoff,
I would make a New Year’s resolution if there was anything about myself that I knew I could change. But I am stubbornly intransigent, ornery, embedded in my habits, and vainly proud of my flaws. So, there is nothing to change.
My wife, however, sees things differently.
LifeSavor……..My better half hasn’t told me what my New Year’s resolution is….Yet.
Hush,
🤣
That sounds like a Schrodinger’s resolution to me. Ha ha ha ha.

I’m told often to get the lead out!
Lead and iron. The real precious metals.
