Excellent question. Maybe let it go and I'll take it from here. Thanks.
Goals for 2017?

Nope. Your "philosophical discussion" with Derek was all based on your original questioning the impetus of my post in this thread. Try again.

Not offended, brother. I was just confused by the rhetoric. It's all good. No need to delete the comments.
I have an addition, if only to get this thread back on track:
I got some nice clear maple boards a couple years ago and I've been trying to figure out what to do with all of it. This will be the year that I finally put those boards to good use. Maybe a cabinet humidor?
Personal:
-Actually stick to my budget
-Save more for house/car/oh shit fund (goes right with the first one)
-Be more patient with things and people
-Try to relax more and stress less
Cigars:
-Get some cc boxes to age
-Finish transitioning to almost entirely cc (with a few choice NC brands)

Sadly, I had to look it up, but that sounds like a lot of fun.

Yeah, it's basically the beer equivalent of a wine sommelier.

Didn't realize there were levels. . Thought it was just cicerone- then master cicerone?

This alone should get you half way to your goal. I did it last year and it was easily responsible for dropping 5-10lbs. I'll still treat myself to a Coke every now and again, but can't believe how much sweeter it tastes.
@sofc @ahugenerd I understand they are related and why are they related. I think it even merits a thread just like fiscal responsibility. The time and money this hobby can take can intrude upon and take over fam time. I've often heard people give up smoking because of the family for one reason or another related to fam. If he feels like he has shirked some daddy duties or financial duties to buy sticks then he feels he needs to stop buying sticks to be a better dad. I know for a fact there have been occasions i shouldve played catch or kicked the soccer ball instead of being at the cigar bar. So i can see it being a valid goal.

Must be someone else....nothing to see there....
A few of my 2017 resolutions are these
Stay away from pit games (unless in Vegas comps are too rewarding)
Make my bed every day, easier said than done for myself
Try to complain less in front of my children
Read more educational books instead of surfing websites (botl excluded. Lol)
It's small steps to becoming a real adult.

The wife and I have started a "clean eating" diet, are doing dry January (no booze or beer), have begun exercising,....and I am taking the month off from cigars. All tough to swallow, but trying to kick the year off with a healthy bang. Can't wait to have a Liga Privada with a glass of bourbon in February!

But I don't live in Memphis
I made some progress towards one of my goals yesterday. Unfortunately we had unexpected vertical electric, so now I will have to figure out how I am going to move those.
Next steps:
-Get electric situation figured out.
-Get header situation figured out.
-Source countertop material and someone to cut and set it for me.
-Determine path to take with lighting.
