The Battle Plan

Twelve missions, August 2026 through July 2027, each one dropped into the month Oklahoma will actually cooperate with. Votes decide what makes the board. The weather decides which month. Dates come off your own answers: Saturday morning for anything that needs most of a day, Monday after 6 for the rest.

This rebuilds itself every time somebody submits — nothing here is typed in by hand.

Before I Die

2 men have put it in writing. We keep the list. We knock them off.

Right now become the man I am created to be for myself, wife and family. This has been my goal now that I understand myself better and more why I did the things I did that caused the damage.
