2006 Things I Did!

At the end of 2005, instead of posting New Years Resolutions I decided to make a list of Things to Do. It was a lot more fun. So here is what I did and didn't do in 2006.

1. Float five different rivers.
Did the Missouri and Blackfoot. Hoping to add the Smith, Clark Fork and Jefferson this year. I know a great sandy beach for lunch on the Clark Fork, call me.

2. Have a drink at the fabulous Sip-N-Dip Tiki Lounge.
Maybe it would be better on a weekend. It's awkward being the only person in a piano bar when the piano player is playing.

3. Rent a Forest Service cabin.
Nope. Changed a bit for 2007.

4. Ride the Hiawatha trail.
Nope. But I may be able to tie this into a 2007 resolution.

5. Play golf on 10 different courses.
Eh, I played 2-3. It was a rain-outed spring and a too-hot summer.

6. Visit all of Montana's hot springs resorts.
Best Resolution Ever! I visited 9 out of 15 - I missed Norris, Bozeman Hot Springs, Fairmont, Lolo, Saco and Potosi. I'll visit the first four in 2007. Chico remains the best, Symes Hot Springs is the one I most look forward to visiting again.

7. Run two 5 kilometer races.
Nope. But I'm going to carry this one over to 2007.

8. Sail more on Canyon Ferry and Flathead Lakes.
Three times on Flathead, none on Canyon Ferry.

9. Kayak to and have a picnic on Flathead Island.
Nope. Still doable though. I just need someone to say, "Let's do it!"

10. Visit all of Montana's breweries.
The second most fun after, "Visit all the hot spring resorts." I visited 12 out of 18. It will remain a passion for 2007. The Neptune had the best beer wench, the Blackfoot had the best beer, the Big Sky were the cheapest bastards (two eight-ounce glasses per day, and that's it), the Glacier Brewery sucked the worst but the Milestown Brewery could have sucked as bad if I had had a second type of beer.

It was a good set of resolutions. I'll soon post my 2007. I hope you will join in.
