    Question New Year's Resolutions - 2011

    Alright, let's hear em...

    Here's my top three:

    #1 - Lose the pounds I've put on over the fall Holidays. I've been eating like a bear storing up for the Winter. I've got to pump the brakes and get back on the exercise.

    #2 - Fish more. The 2010 edition of my fishing hobby was pitiful, to say the least. A combination of the most difficult year at work since the beginning of my career and the summer drought taking the creeks down to a trickle really did me in. I'm coming back with a vengence in 2011, back to my roots and hitting the creeks hard...wading and floating. I see a kayak in my future too.

    #3 - Slow down. I looked up and 2010 is gone. I worked it all away this year. I'm blessed to have a job, but work about killed me...had some 80 hour weeks easy. I was pretty much consumed by it. I've got some help and the craziness is behind me, so I can settle down into a more sane routine in 2011. Heard a song by George Strait on the radio the other day that said "You just might miss the point, if you don't slow down the pace." True words. I've got some friends and family that I need to reconnect with...some important things to do.

    Happy New Year fellas...

    Re: New Year's Resolutions - 2011

    No particular order .....
    Continue to keep the fitness level up.
    Stay very involved in my 14 year old daughters life.
    Keep work in perspective because it can consume me.
    Try to let stress go sooner and not sweat the small stuff.
    I don't need to say it but I will ...... Fish more!

    Re: New Year's Resolutions - 2011

    Loose the weight I have gained back over the last month, around 12lb's or so.
    Quit stressing so bad over stuff I have no control over and calm down more.
    Treat my wife better, sometimes I'm way too hard on her. Be more patient.
    Continue to support my beautiful daughter in her persuit of her career, I do this already.
    Start lifting some weight's again and improve my strength with my stamina.
    Continue to improve my cornhole game, it's pretty good, and I want to take it to another level.

    My resolution is to not be the short fat salty old chit my wife says I am. To catch more fish than last year, drink less Scotch and smoke less cigars and hassle Geofisher less! The funeral will be march 14th

    Re: New Year's Resolutions - 2011

    Get my grandson into his first fish this spring when he will be big enough to actually hold a rod with my help.

    Also if it will help, I hope for no more surgery for Elwood in 2011.

    1. Find 3 more ways to have Uncle Sam send me money this year.
    2. Find 3 more ways to avoid paying taxes
    3. Never drink over lunch. Stop drinking by 11 am.
    4. Only buy the stuff I really need, or at least the stuff I can remember when I get to the store. (Which ever is less)
    5. Use live bait, and as a result get more phone numbers at bars.
    6. Sell my boat to myself, and then fall behind on the payments so I can write off the loss.
    7. Become a better friend to my neighbors who just got the enclosed porch completed with the hot tub, 60 inch flat panel, surround sound, and stocked bar. They seem like lonely people.
    8. Do a better job at work, especially during my breaks.
    9. Only work when I'm not at home.
    10. Stop taking everything so seriously, get a sense of humor. A co-worker told me to "be a little crazy", and then completed the statement with "Show us you're nuts". I have to write her an apology before the boss will let me come back to work.

    I hope it works out for everybody. I too, wish Elwood no more surgeries during 2011. For myself, I've lived with myself long enough to know me, yeah wait, wait , wait for it, I resolve no more resolutions. I know I'd make myself out a liar otherwise. Good luck and good fishin in 2011.
