Time to say goodbye to 2025 and hello to 2026. I know, everyone in the world makes a similar post at the New Year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I finally made some awesome progress on my goals to run\/jog\/walk all of the Aurora, CO Trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally I made good progress on my other fitness goals this year. My Garmin tells the story:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My work travels took me far and wide across the country this year. The pins on the map below tell the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This afternoon I started my New Year’s Eve technology routine that I have been following for 20+ years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Clean out all of my inboxes and file all messages in the appropriate 2025 folders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Move all of my sent mail out of all the account’s sent mail boxes into my 2025 sent mail folder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Move all of my documents and downloads into my Documents_2025-Dec-31 and Downloads_2025-Dec-31 folders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Make sure my work logs and expense reports are all completed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Create my 2026 IMAP folder on the server with my basic sub-folders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Re-point all of my scripts to the appropriate folders in the 2026 files.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Make sure phones and all devices are up to date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Do my online postings saying Happy New Year and goodbye to 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Then, I sit back, relax, do anything I forgot about. And make sure my dogs don’t get scared to death from the fireworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So, what is next for 2026? I have a few goals, I hate the word “resolutions”, I can share some of them here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. I need to get back into swimming shape. I finally got back into the pool a few months back and I can barely do 1,000 yards. This is from the guy that 3 years ago could do 5 and 10K open water swims.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Need to loose 20 pounds. This may have something to do with the above problem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. I want to do some hiking this year. I live in Colorado, there is so much I haven’t seen or done.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. I want to do at least one of the lake series swim events. Not sure which one yet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. See where work takes me this year, but I need to attempt to maintain a work\/life balance. Let’s see if I can make some progress on that.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    6. Try to get back into my glass sandblasting work. I think I am also going to invest in a CNC router\/laster this year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    7. I need to finally release my 52 weeks of HVAC that I have promised myself I would do for YouTube every year but never get around to it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      I will probably not set many fitness goals for 2026 other than the swimming and the mountain lake series. I have had some health issues and have decided that I do not want to push myself too much. I want to be able to adjust based on how I feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Anyways, Happy New Years everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
