Yes. Yes I was supposed to do a lot of things. Like keep my site more up to date than this for starters. Oh, and run a marathon a couple months ago. My goal of running a marathon had to get postponed until 2015 for medical reasons. My lack of site updates… well I have no good excuse. That’s just plain laziness.
However in an attempt to not appear to be a total looser, here are some things that I have accomplished in the past 4 months (in no particular order)
I voted Libertarian
Watched my son compete in 7 marching band competitions
played 6 gigs with 6ix 5ive 9ine
Officiated a wedding (complete with handcuffs)
Completed the XXX hot wing challenge at Jake Melnick’s in Chicago
Came to the realization that shoe polish takes some effort to clean off of car windows
Read 4 Stephen King novels
Restored my ’95 Wrangler to operational status
Disassembled my ’95 Wrangler shortly after returning it to operational status so I could repair a cracked exhaust manifold (this should probably be filed under “things I haven’t accomplished”, since I haven’t finished this repair yet)
Surfed a complete revolution around Cedar Lake without falling or loosing the wave from the north end, all the way to the south end and back again. (total time on the board was about 25 minutes)
Restrung 3 of my 4 electric guitars
Discovered that an engine hoist and a garden hose can remove a deck post much faster than a shovel can
Found ways to use and preserve habanero peppers that don’t involve rendering a half gallon of vodka undrinkable
Drank an estimated 100 cups of coffee
Visited 4 Indiana brewpubs
