    Hope everyones has a safe and happy holiday season:biggrin:

    First, lose a 100 lbs or so
    Second being two fold, figure out how to be a better husband to my second wife w/o it negatively affecting my relationship w/ my kids which has always been good. But she tends to be jealous of the time I "make" for them. Or get divorced again & stay that way.
    Third, Teach my 12 y/o son to enjoy hunting & the outdoors as much as I do.
    Forth, more non-commuting time on the bike w/ the boys(that ought to make the second one easier to acheive:rolleyes: )
    Giving up smoking completely should be in here somewhere to, but I'm down to under a 1/2 a pack a week now so we'll see.

    Drop 20 lbs.

    Spend more time with my kids (when I am not deployed to beautiful Afghanistan that is)

    Learn to be more patient with people.

    I need to try like hell to quit chewing tobacco. Same resolution last year, made it till about March. On the plus side, I'm at one can a week these days. Maybe my resolution should be to first have better self discipline.

    almost never make them myself. I do set goals for myself, but they are set and met and changed independently of the new year, usually.

    I want to lose about 10 lbs. I'm actually at a good weight, it's just that it's in the form of fat, centered around my middle. If I can get rid of that, I'll be happy!!! KC-10 FE, if you find the "ARMY" you're looking for, and need a wingman, let me know. I'll be more than happy to lend a hand.....

    This year I would like to improve in the corners but living in Florida doesn't help much. I would like to loose at least 60 to 70 lbs. but I'll settle fot 20 or 30. Being 5'7" and a 295 lbs. powerlifter doesn't help either. I need to plan more family activities and help out more around the house. And also try to meet any of the VFR crowd starting in my area first.

    When I lived in Florida, this was one of the places I went to go to get some relief -

    Fantastic motorcycle - only track. Enough straightaway to get my blood pumping with the speed, enough curves to show me why my nickname isn't "The Doctor". :third:

    I am not a bug New Years Resolution type. If I want to do or acheive something I just do it. If I don't really want to do something I find a resolution doesn't help me much. Maybe I'm weak...

    you know that bike consumes a lot of my thoughts as well. I need to get a close up look at her. the wife has given me the go-ahead if I want it. I just have a hard time committing to spending that kind of money, but DAMN, that bike is tempting... I want to see if I fit in the saddle...

    I don't generally make resolutions myself, but I think this year one will be to become re-employed and to enjoy this nice FL weather (oh wait, I am enjoying it now not next year, oh well, so I started early :tongue:)

    No resolution here, I don't think I would follow through anyway.

    Thanks for sharing guys, I think most of are resolutions or goals are pretty much the same five, I'm also a goal person, as you can tell from starting my desired weight lose during the holidays, But the hard part is diffently done and it's all down hill after Christmas :smile:

    Age has diffently mellowed me out and every year I think I'm a little better of person and hope that trait continues. Every year I look back and think if I have any regrets, 2006 I only have one, and one is what I did to that gangbanger from Stranger on a Bike thread, Stupid actions on my part!!! :redface:

    2007 my goal is to have no regrets, that includes life in general and the Internet...

    Have a great holiday season
    Rick

    Thanks for the heads up on Jennings. I may ride up there to check it out. I'll try to get up there and hit a track day as soon as the 07' schedule is available.
