A Very Fine Place To Start

The beginning, that is. I'm going to make this my DAILY journal location.

For the record:
1.) I am chronicling the creation of my Community Supported Energy Cooperative. For now, I've named it Spirited Raven Energy Cooperative - that's subject to change.

2.) I am publicly stating that I will in one year's time have accomplished the following:
*Moved back to upstate NY and established agreements with farmers for the acquisition of their feedstock for making alcohol.
*Have acquired a base of no less than 200 people as founding members of the SREC
*Identified and, as necessary, leased (or purchased) a site on which to distill alcohol and process co-products
*I WILL HAVE DISTILLED NO LESS THAN ONE THOUSAND GALLONS OF FUEL GRADE ETHANOL
*Have identified at least two follow-on "cascade" enterprises for business creation

3.) I am also chronicling my physical, mental and spiritual progress as a man by doing the following:
*Commiting to a goal by mid-April of having lost 20 pounds of fat and gained 6 pounds of muscle. My current weight is approx. 235 lbs. My final weight should, therefore, be approx. 220 lbs.
*Commit to performing yoga one day each week.

4.) Financially, I am using this blog to follow my progress in budgeting what is sure to be a chaotic and bizarre set of records for the coming year. Do my monthly budgeting and be faithful to saving money as often as possible.

Well, that's enough pronouncements for one day. Check in tomorrow.
