New Years Resolutions

Wow, I can't believe that it is already time to commit to that time honored tradition of making New Years Resolutions. Let me ask.Do you even remember last year's resolutions? If you do, did you keep them all? Some of them? Broke them the 2nd of January?
I have several things that I am resolved to do and or accomplish this year. Most are not bad habits, but goals in my life. I am getting old now and don't have many bad habits left. I don't smoke, drink in moderation. I don't cheat at cards, or on my lovely wife. I could lose weight, but would gain it back anyway.
I want to move. I have had this as a goal for some time now, but this year it is a resolution. The house sold and all that is left is to close escrow. Unless they default it should go through. I need to move before I have a heart attack. This place is not the paradise it once was. It is overcrowded with angry people. The place up north is pretty and quiet and no one will build in my view. Not a road or a house.
Most of my resolutions this year are tied into my retreat. I need to set the water system up. I have a lot of the stuff, but did not set it up for fear of freezing and time constraints.
I want to set up the private off grid power system. It is the center of what we can do. No lights, no work gets done. It was what brought us into the industrial age.
Sewer system needs to be done. Gray water and black water and a sawdust toilet system is what we will utilize. The sawdust toilet being the easiest to build and hardest to maintain.
We paid off all our bills this last fall. That was a resolution I made every year and never thought it would happen. This year, I resolve to not get back into debt, like the 700 dollar snowblower I bought, which now needs to be paid for! We did make it through CHRISTmas without adding anything to the Credit cards that did not get paid right off.
I resolve this year to get the concession business up and running. I think Judy has a similar one for the rabbit business. We need an outlet for all the rabbits and the sure thing has turned out a little iffy lately.
Re-write the entire web site of Ozmer dot com. As you can see, I started on it already. I put about 3 days into it so far. I like the results. You can tell me what you think, but I like it. I need to take the new format into all the other existing pages. I started to write it over when I did due to my accidentally deleting the entire front page. oops! Guess I should have had a back up. I am sure I do somewhere, but it was a reason and with my bad knee I had the time to do it.
I resolve, this year, to get in better shape. I know what you are thinking. That is like weight loss or quitting smoking. Fact is, I have to. The ranch / retreat will bring many challenges and I need to be in shape to handle them. Also, perhaps my knee injury would not have been so bad if I had been in better shape to begin with. My heart will like it, my weight will like it. My spouse will like it. I see no down side other than aches and pains, so I will do this... I hope.
Anyway, I will take this opportunity to wish you all a happy New Year and I hope and pray that your resolutions are modest and doable.
Cheers
