psipike02 0 #1 December 28, 2007 We had a thread about skydiving goals, but I'm sure there are some who are working on other things outside of skydiving as well.....right?? Anyways, I thought it'd be cool to see what people are working towards or achieving in 2008... So what might you be doing in 2008? And yes working on getting laid more is a reasonable goal to list....Puttin' some stank on it. ----Hellfish #707---- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So what might you be doing in 2008? - Build significant pieces of The Product for my latest startup to improve scalability and reduce costs for internet companies. - Hire some exceptional minions of evil to help because I'm too old and married to have work hours defined as "when not sleeping" - Walk down stairs normally. Broken bones stink. - Get better at welding because there should be a lot of it in my future. - Build a set of Pitts 12 ribs. 52 ribs and 52 weeks are NOT a coincidence.

grannyinthesky 0 #17 December 28, 2007 Being pretty new to skydiving, it's pretty hard to think about goals in other areas right now, but... Play my sax well when the I play with the college jazz band in February Publish the calculator skills workbook that I signed with a publisher to do De-clutter my house. I think skydiving is going to take precendence over the Christmas craft kits, scrapbooking and assorted stuff I was planning on doing once upon a time.

ACMESkydiver 0 #22 December 28, 2007 1. Continue to get into better shape 2. Start a sport that will help goal #1 3. Get the babies to talk (been a goal for 10 years, but we'll get there.) 4. Net worth of $1 million by December 31st. I just want to see it in print; I'm well aware that what's on paper is different than what you can spend...but I've always wanted to say to myself, "I'm a millionairess!" -partly because I don't think 'millionairess' is an actual word, but if I is one, I's can say it howevers I's want to! 5. And the other goal we've had for a number of years: GET THE *&%$ OUT OF WASHINGTON STATE. Goal #4 should help accomplish everything else. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
