So..any 2017 resolutions?

Hangar Flying
1

I’m gonna be pedestrian and put up the old standby: lose weight. Like - a lot of weight. 2016 has not been good to me with regards to fitness.

A few others:

  • More kayaking/kayak camping
  • Try, try, try to get my feet wet in Steel Beasts
  • Participate in more Mudspike MP events
  • Take Kai and Marisa flying
  • More travel to places we’ve not been
  • Finish the second half of my novel

So what about you guys? I’ll start a dedicated weight loss tracker thread on January 1… :bicyclist: :runner: :swimmer:

Improve my video editing and put out some more video content. My ultimate goal is to do a timeline video, starting with Airco vs. Eindekker and ending with Eagles and all active missiles, punctuating as many points in the development of air combat as I can.

In addition, I do like the ShoddyCast lore series, so I’d like to recreate a telling of the ArmAverse history in A3. Possibly Ace Combat in DCS.

Also, try my absolute hardest not to run down snowmobiling idiots who just blast out onto the road. No promises.

To work at not making everything I say sound like an argument. No promises (and yes i know now it just sounds like I’m arguing with myself)
