Turns out it's "only" V6 but is mint. Lagers is going to sort the daft skirting out.

Why?  Lick of black paint, a nice tail fender and a red-stripe down the side and away you go, Faceman.  I reckon Lagers' would look good with a Mohican too  :lol:

No particular order of importance, but the causal relationships between these items will probably dictate the chronological order in which they are achieved - could be an all or nothing year.
  • sort out gout/arthritis/extreme-toe-pain vs decent climbing footwear problem
  • loose at least a stone in weight (13st 8lb ish now)
  • boulder harder than 7b+ for the first time
  • stay motivated
  • keep up deadhang regime
  • regain six-pack abs
  • do some front lever pull ups
  • start training for planche press ups (will take longer than a year to get there)
  • have a second year free of significant finger injuries
  • sustain very happy relationship

sort out gout/arthritis/extreme-toe-pain vs decent climbing footwear problem
Totally avoided the issue by not going climbing

Quote

Now 14st 8lb. Arse.

Quote
boulder harder than 7b+ for the first time
Unlikely to happen

Quote
stay motivated
Motivation disappeared for the summer - now back  :thumbsup:

Quote
keep up deadhang regime
As above.

Quote
regain six-pack abs
No chance.

Quote
do some front lever pull ups
Came close - might happen.

Quote
start training for planche press ups
Managed first tucked planche pressup. SYKED

Quote
have a second year free of significant finger injuries
Yes, yes, fucking YES. So far...

Quote
sustain very happy relationship
Not only has she agreed to marry me, I am going to be a dad again  :dance1:  :thumbsup:  :bounce:  ;D

If I write down my aims will it make more likely to do them?   :-\

Currently, I am aiming to be less weak and fat unfit by Christmas.  That's a bit general isn't it.  I need to give it more thought or hire an angry man to shout at me and make me do things.

I have one clear aim for 2009 though: Touch Chris Sharma on his actual real life body, ideally that will look a bit like this --->   :kiss2:

Congrats Lagers, mainly for the last one  ;D

This really is easy to do. Just find out where he's going to be bouldering, then happen to be there when he arrives to try the same thing. When he has a go make sure you are underneath him, arms aloft, and then touch him as he falls off (which he does occasionally).  It wasn't so difficult from what I remember...  ;)  Good luck!

I should say!

Especially as the rest are mainly variations on "I've been lazy and got fat(ter)".  :lol:  ;)

I'm sort of envious as if I got fatter I could never be content.  :-\

Fuck, that time of year for tallying already.

1 Not get injured

Minor back hassles - but a general tick

2 Make better use of flexitime to surf and use wall at lunchtime

Yes on flexitime, although it's been a poor summer for waves, although getting a longboard has made it a lot more fun

3 Following good use of surfing flexitime, improve enough to do Scottish NW Coast and Hebrides justice

HA HA

4 Following that, get some good surfing done in Oz in Autumn

HA HA HA

5 Get some winter routes and ski touring done

Double no of winter routes from previous years to 2. got some great ski tours in

6 Make an effort to get down to gritstone more often

HA HA HA HA - Once. Some good Northumberland trips though.
7 get to Font

Great week at maisonbleau (with average weather), ending in a similar result to lager's marriage bit!

8 Have a good snowboarding trip to somewhere with decent powder

Tick

9 Have a considerably more productive year for trad and boudlering in Scotland

Tick - great spring, average summer

10 Get more mountain biking done at 7 Stanes etc (might even upgrade bike)

Upgraded bike, but not done much at 7 Stanes. Good local stuff though.

1) Sell house
Have you seen the housing market lately? No neither have I...
Quote
2) Buy a new house
Due to failure at step 1 step 2 is not gonna happen...
Quote
3) Retire
Or alternatively work more and more and more and more aaarrrggghhhhhhhhh.....
Quote
4) Get a full nights sleep
Iced like an expensive wedding cake, oh yeah.
Quote
5) Go climbing more than this year
YYFY, dunno how but that aim is ticked.

Also got the wife to concede that:
1) moving to Font was in principle possible
2) spending several months tootling round Europe in a couple of years is a great idea

Given that aims 1)-3) are no-hopers I'm going to optimistically replace them with:
1) Jess's Roof
2) Iron Man
3) Something classic old-school in the Peak, maybe Jerrys Traverse at the Plantation?

I will "release" it on 01/01/2009, one year after this was released.  I can't put it out any sooner because I'm unsure how many '08 aims will be on the '09 list.

Or maybe we should get another 10 for '09 and add the '08 ones on- it'll be impossible to acheive :lol:
