How I did it
How to make Firefox my default browser
It took me
1 day
It made me
Estatic

How I did it: I've always had big big complaints about Microsoft's bloatware, so as soon as Mozilla released the Firefox browser, I downloaded it and very rarely use Internet Explorer at all.  The speed, and extras that Firefox has make it the best browser available. Read how I did it…

How to give 1000 cheers
It took me
3 days
It made me
satisfied

How I did it: Always use my cheers when I get them.  Cheer on other cheerleaders which results in more cheers for everyone involved.  Being involved in 43things and giving out cheers makes me a better person and helping me to achieve my goals too. Read how I did it…

How to rescue my lawn from death.
It took me
4 months
It made me
Enjoy the view

How I did it: I watered sections of my lawn for 5-10 minutes every night.  I also used soaker hoses to divert waste water from other activities like car washing, fish bowls, etc...I used an electric lawn mower with mulcher to recycle the cut grass into fertilizer.  Occasional raking to aerate the lawn allows it to breath more (just once a month).When it finally rained again a couple of weeks ago, the transformation was complete and … Read how I did it…

Waiting to hike 5 days ago

This fall has been terrible for hiking in general, not just because of the fires, but also because the local clubs have not been having events to go too. I have to wait till December right now for the next hike….Too long!

There are some year-round events that you can do anytime, but I miss hiking with friends.

Holloween candy 5 days ago

Too much candy has sabotaged this goal for the moment. Still exercising every day, but slowed after I stubbed my toe pretty bad. Need to recommit to eating better and doing the work.
