Updates to the Website

So made a few changes to the website.

Updates to the Website

So made a few changes to the website.

The first major one was including a link to a map of the Munros I've been climbing. As this is a big part of my life I figured It probably deserved it's own section. So I've got a map up that depicts all of the Munros and I'll tick them off as I work through them. It'll be years (like a decade) but I will get through them and hopefully eventually I can move on to the Munro Tops, Corbetts, Donalds and Grahams. But that will take the rest of my life.

I am aiming to climb the furths as well which will take in England, Wales and Ireland, perhaps future iterations will show these maps.

I've also reduced my Impossible List items. It had seemed that I started throwing lots of ideas into my list wihtout thiking through the implecations of each goal. It is not my willingness that is limiting me, but my finances. So while I would love to travel to Socotra, if I had the money to achieve that I would more than likely spend it climbing a mountain somewhere. So I rationalized my Impossible Goals.

I looked for things that aligned with what I want to achieve and focused on those. Not because I don't want to achieve a lot more, its jsut that I'm not willing to join the hustle culture to really 10x my income so I'm happy with my work life balance as it is and that will preclude some expensive options on my Impossible Goals list. Maybe one day I'll win the lottery or an as yet unknwon wealthy uncle will die leaving me everything. At which point I can change my goals. Until then I'll reign in my ideas.

In other news I shaved my beard. For future reference, I shouldn't do that. The day I shaved my beard is the day I started growing it back out.
