EKM-

Started getting ready on June 1st, right after I found out that I had been successful in the Colorado draw.

Started an exercise program of walking 3 times a week (3 miles a day), and weights, abs, legs 3 days a week. Starting August 15, switched to walking 5 days a week.

Started my lists and purchases in June also.

Have been shooting since July 1st.

Have been laying out clothes and equipment since July (this one drives my wife crazy!).

Still need to purchase food, but don' t want to do that too early!

October 1st can' t get here fast enough!
