What's up with me

Here's my answer to those who would ask me, "What's up?"

Here's what I'm currently doing besides work and sleep:

1. R/C car racing--Izzy and I built a car, and Wednesday nights are races.
   
2. Building glider--It should be done by summer. I started in early 2005.
   
3. Climbing--Sam and I are learning to climb at Stonegardens.
4. Weightlifting--I've been doing this for over 4 years.
5. Bicycling--I got a new bike, and Sam and I have started riding.
6. Running--I just started running again. Today I broke a record for suck.
   
7. Tin whistle--I have been learning/playing for about a year.
8. Reading--I'm on book 7 of 7 in the Dark Tower series. I couldn't not read a series that started with, "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed." Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are next up on the list. I'm going to focus on more culturally and historically significant writers. History is becoming interesting to me, also. I find it interesting and frightening, but enlightening to compare the past to the present.
   

Here's what's coming up soon:

1. Wedding--Sam and I are planning our wedding for next March.
2. PCT--We're planning a 2 week backpacking trip in August.
3. Hiking and Scrambling--Summer is just around the corner.
4. Motorcycling--I have a bike to get running, and one that needs serious work.
   

Here's what's on the list:

1. Mountaineers Basic Climbing--intense course covering rock and glacier.
2. Scuba diving--who wouldn't want to learn that?
3. Flying--I intend to get my certificate and instrument rating at some point.
4. Build a workshop--This is very important and makes more things possible.
   
5. Kayaking--This is too much fun. Gotta do it more. I want to build one, too.
   
6. Snowboarding--Also have to do more.
7. Skiing--I have to try this. It just makes too much sense.
   
8. Skateboarding--I'm going to build a halfpipe in our yard.
9. Learn to weld--I must learn this skill, and I must build a chopper.
10. Programming--I know a lot already, but it takes so much time!
11. Muscle car--I will build one. I don't know what kind, yet.
12. Boat--Every American man who is me should have a boat.
13. Guns--I need to renew my permit, get a couple of guns and go shooting!
14. Travel--Alaska, Hawaii, Ireland, the Pyrenees mountains (for Sam)
15. Sewing--I want to learn to sew.
16. Fiddle and Banjo--These are immensely cool and I will learn to play them.
    

And if I make lots of money, which doesn't happen to people who say things like, "...if i make lots of money":

1. Yacht--I'd like to be the guy in the Locks, instead of the guy watching him.
2. Airplane--Owning my own plane would be pretty cool. I'd like, fly places.
   
3. Mansion--A big place with a pool or two, a gym, an indoor skatepark, an outdoor skatepark, a runway, a dock for my Boat(s), a movie room, a trampoline, a gun range, a bidet.
4. Murder--Certain people would disappear.
   

And finally, here's what I've been neglecting:

1. Mowing the lawn--The stupid grass grows faster than I feel like cutting it.
2. Cleaning my truck--It's a mess inside and out.
3. Cleaning the room on my side of the bed--I promptly remove food, though.
   
4. Taking the trailer to the dump--it's been loaded with crap for months.
5. Getting rid of junk--our storage shed is PACKED. I mean it. PACKED.
6. Fixing stuff I broke--I need to fix an innocent TV table that I broke.
7. Walking my dogs--They need more time to be dogs.
8. Clothes shopping--I hate shopping for clothes. It takes forever.
9. Going to the dentist--I need to go and get some shots and drilling.

That's the jist of it. What's up with you?
