Nice post stanwood. I sat down and had a similar talk with my son recently. He will be an incoming freshman in college. The goals we/he set are very similar to what you've shared above.

The problem with my kid now is that he's currently bored out of his mind. The majority of his buddies are off to school already. After he plays long toss, hits in the cages, and works out in the morning, he spends the rest of the day on his X-Box.

He doesn't move into his dorm until the 18th, and quite frankly, I'm running out of chores for him to do. He mows a mean lawn and does a fine job trimming hedges....in addition, he's an excellent detailer, as he's waxed and detailed three of our vehicles thus far. I will have him help out with my RV before he takes off. If you live in the So Cal area and need help in the yard, or a nice clean car in the next two weeks, I have your man!
