New Years Resolutions for 2010

Remember last year? I said I could just recycle my resolutions from the previous years. Well, it looks like I'll be able to pretty much do the same thing this year.

My resolutions from last year:

#1. This is the year I'll finally ride my motorcycle cross country. Taking a motorcycle trip across the U.S. is something I've wanted to do since I was a teenager. This year is the year!

Didn't happen. I did take a trip to the bay area and a couple overnighters but no cross country trip this year. Maybe next year.

#2. Play golf. Yes, I know it's been 10 or 15 years since I played but I think it's time to start again. Back when I used to play, the game became a serious addiction that threatened to ruin my life. Now I think I'm old enough to handle it without becoming addicted.

Nope! I never even touched a golf club. They’re still up in the storage area above my shop.


#3. Shoot more. I don't spend nearly enough time at the range. This year I want to compete in some IDPA matches and maybe take up sporting clays.

Don’t I wish!! I never did compete in any IDPA or IPSC matches and haven’t shot a single clay target with my shotgun. I did join a new range down the street from my office so I should actually do more shooting in 2010


#4. Sell a vehicle. I don't know which one, but we have too much stuff and it's time to start getting rid of some of it. I think probably the camper will go, and maybe the boat.

Just as last year, this is really funny. I did sell the camper and the boat but guess what. We bought a 34 foot motorhome and a 27 foot sailboat! Oh well. It's a disease.

#5. Finish the interior of the '57 Chevy.

Nope. I didn't work on the '57 all year. Maybe next year if I don't sell it.

So, just as last year, I'll just recycle my 2009 resolutions for 2010

Xmas 2009

Xmas 2009 has come and gone and Kit still hasn't opened all of her presents !!! Hard to believe, isn't it? Every once in a while she comes over and says "I think I'll open a present now".

This year was fun though. Kit really enjoyed playing with Matt and Terry on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. They really had a great time.

Kit's First Gingerbread House

Kid made her first gingerbread house yesterday. Thanks to help from grandma and her older cousin Terry, it came out really great!!!

More baking and decorating is in store over the next few days !! :)

We had quite a cold snap there , didn't we ? I've never seen it so cold for so long since I've been up here. The pics here are of Snoqualmie Falls during the freeze. Seeing the falls like this is extremely rare.

Now the weather is back to normal (that means it's raining) with temps up in the 40s for the forseeable future. Doesn't look like a white Christmas this year.
