Its kinda hard to paint a house in the rain and cold.

Weather moved in on my trying to paint and get my house sold.....SOOO I had to postpone it. I do have my property on the river on the market.. and a couple of my boats for sale.. and now that spring is here I can get them gone..

Stay alive
Stay safe
Have fun
Learn to land better and more consistently
Get better at RW
Stay excited about the sport

Just thought I'd bump this to see how we're all doing on our 2006 goals as we think about our 2007 goals.

Stay alive... check
Stay safe... check.
Have fun... check
Learn to land better and more consistently ... improving. Still not perfect but I do think I'm more consistent.
Get better at RW ... not really. I focused more on the landing stuff the first half of the year, to the detriment of my freefall skills.
Stay excited about the sport.... the first half of 2006 was rough. But the second half, I've recaptured the joy.

Let's seeeee....

Don't die or get hurt (too embarrasing).

Make as much money as possible.

Go to Lost Prairie and make a skydive with Dav3e.

Keep my 16 year old son reigned in (he thinks he's the King!).

Try to look good and have as much fun as is legal.

Yay!!!

Somehow afford all this and pay off my credit card debt. - I had to sell a bunch of stuff to make this happen.

Here are some other goals I thought up early in the year:
Ball jump - It was fun.
Norway - I went back in July, good times.
Crew camp - I'll try to make the next one.
Edit my 2005 video into a DVD - I'm way too lazy at video editing.
A wingsuit rodeo jump with my girlfriend - hopefully soon.
Get Dad on a tandem or in the tunnel - not yet, but my Sister went on a tandem.
skysurf - looks like fun.
Private Pilot - I'm getting close.
juggle off of a bridge - not yet.
Some better tunnel freeflying - I got my sit going pretty good.
Maybe eventually become a rigger or just learn more about rigging.

Not really goals, but notable:
Had my first cutaway/reserve ride - a bad Mr. Bill
Became an Altimaster Field Rep.
Did a tube jump, and lots of freeflying
I also did a high speed CASA wingsuit exit
