1. I am 17,489 steps behind due to traveling and not getting 10k steps for a few days. I am whittling that down by walking more each day to get caught up.
2. I camped exactly 1 night in January
3. 1 night so far toward the 45 night goal.
4. I have listened to 4 books so far. I listen to the books when I walk at night and when I drive so I am getting loads of time listening. I am out of Audible credits, so I will get caught up on podcasts until I get my next credit and select my next book.
   1. Breath - James Nestor
   2. Endurance - Alfred Lansing
   3. The Secret War With Iran - Ronen Bergman
   4. The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel - Douglas Brunt
5. Didn't ride my MTN bike at all yet. With the warm weather, I could get it out and ride Antelope Island, or take it south next time I head to the home office for work. This will likely be more of a spring through fall goal.
6. I missed 1 date in a week with my wife, so have to get 2 in a week soon to make up for it.
7. I didn't get a One on One with my daughter in January, but got one with my son. Need to get 2 with my Daughter soon to get caught up.
8. Got a One on One with my married son.
9. Drove several new to me dirt roads in January so certainly on track for this one.

1. I am 16,813 steps ahead thanks to a few hikes and a business trip that required walking long distnaces in Las Vegas.
2. I camped 4 nights in February
3. I have camped 5 nights toward the 45 night goal. 60 will still be a stretch, but within reach still.
4. I have listened to 5 books so far:
   1. Breath - James Nestor
   2. Endurance - Alfred Lansing
   3. The Secret War With Iran - Ronen Bergman
   4. The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel - Douglas Brunt
   5. The Terminal List - Jack Carr
5. Still haven't ridden my MTN bike yet. Soon!
6. I have averaged 1 date per week with my wife and am on track for this one.
7. I am 1 one on one behind with my daughter, but am on track with my youngest. Need to do better with my daughter.
8. I am well ahead regarding one on ones with my oldest.
9. Drove several new to me dirt roads in February so still on track with this as well.

1. I am 22,978 steps ahead which is good since I injured my back last week and will no doubt fall short of my step goals for a week or so recuperating.
2. I camped 6 nights in March
3. I have camped 11 nights YTD. 60 will still be a stretch, but within reach still.
4. I have listened to 7 books so far:
   1. Breath - James Nestor

   4. The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel - Douglas Brunt
   5. The Terminal List - Jack Carr

   7. Saving Bravo - Stephan Talty
5. Rode my MTN bike 1 time - It was a blast. Looking forward to healing up and getting out 3-5 times a week as weather permits.
6. I missed one weekly date with my wife. I will make it up this week.
7. I am on track with 1 on 1's with my daughter and youngest son.
8. I am well ahead regarding one on ones with my oldest.

1. I am 12,148 steps ahead, having lost some of my cushion from some trips with lots of driving.
2. I camped 4 nights in April.
3. I have camped 15 nights YTD. 60 will still be a stretch, but within reach still.
4. I have listened to 13 books so far, adding 5 in April due to lots of windshield time:
   1. Savage Son - Jack Carr
   2. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - Mark Twain
   3. The Devil's Hand - Jack Carr
   4. In the Blood - Jack Carr
   5. Only the Dead - Jack Carr
5. Rode my MTN bike 1 time in April, leaving 102 times for my goal, but weather has not cooperated just yet. May is looking promising.
6. I am 4 dates behind with my wife. I need to do better when I am in town.
7. I am on track with 1 on 1's with my daughter and youngest son.
8. I am well ahead regarding one on ones with my oldest.
9. Drove a few new to me dirt roads in April so still on track with this as well.
10. I hiked Ding and Dang canyons in April. They were awesome and challenging due to the water in them.

1. I am 15,112 steps behind due to some illness and travel. I hope to build a cusion back in by the end of July.
2. I camped 1 night in May and 9 nights in June.
3. I have camped 25 nights through the June, I need to pick up the pace if I am going to hit 60 for the year, but am well on my way to 45.
4. I have listened to 19 books so far, adding 6 in May and June:
   1. American Sniper
   2. The Comfort Crisis
   3. The Codling of the American Mind
   4. No Way Out
   5. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
   6. Surprise Kill Vanish
5. I am desperatly behind on MTN Bike rides, needing 99 more 30 min rides in the 2nd half of the year to reach this goal (meaning I have only ridden 5 times). This goal felt WAY more attainable in January, thinking it would be easy to average 2 rides a week all year. I need to get after this!
6. I am 2 dates behind with my wife. Need to keep this in focus.
7. I am 1 behind regarding 1 on 1's with my daughter. I will make that up next week when we do a road trip together for her to attend EFY.
8. I am on track with 1 on 1's with my youngest son.
9. I am on track with 1 on 1's with my oldest son.
10. I have driven a few new to me dirt roads so I am on track with this one.
11. Crossed off my first county peak of the year by hiking Mt Cardwell in June. Looking to get 5 more this summer before the snow flies, some will be easier to bag than others.
12. With my Cruiser still down being repaired, the trail goals aren't going to happen. I will revise that goal and see what I can feasably do once I have my cruiser back on the road and know if I have any funds left for big-ish trips in 2024.
13. No new slot canyons since April. Since it is now summer, my focus will be peaks and will go for slot canyons in the fall when it cools off a bit.

Dave, I am down to MTB any evening. I'm on an analog bike so you'll have to wait for me, but I try to ride CC twice a week and have been semi successful after winter ended in May.

Click to expand...

1. I am 57,073 steps behind. I am working to eliminate that by the end of October.
2. I have camped at least 1 night in every month.
3. I have camped 39 nights YTD. 45 will happen but its not looking good for 60.
4. I have listened to 24 books so far and working on #25. I had no idea how much I would enjoy listening to books while driving. The latest 5 are:
   1. Red Sky Morning
   2. Inside Delta Force
   3. Scarcity Brain
   4. Delta Force
   5. The Challenger Sale
5. I changed my MTN Bike goal to riding 52 hours, the equivalent of 104 30 min rides. I am behind. I doubt I will reach this goal. I have ridden 8 hours so far this year, a pitiful number. I will get more rides in, I just don't think I will get 44 hours by year end.
6. I am 4 dates behind with my wife. Need to keep this in focus.
7. I am 3 behind regarding 1 on 1's with my daughter. I need to make it a priority to get some quality time with her.
8. I am on track with 1 on 1's with my youngest son.
9. I am on track with 1 on 1's with my oldest son.
10. I have driven at least 1 new to me dirt road every month. I should be able to hit this one without issue.
11. I have not hiked any more peaks. I don't know that I will have time to get any before snow flies, but I am going to try for at least 1 more.
12. I have my cruiser back, but now don't have time to plan a bunch of wheeling trips. I am punting on this goal and will try for next year.
13. It is cooling off enough that I can look at hiking more slot canyons, just need some free weekends to be able to make it happen.
