Right, keeping this brief;

Started Advanced Diploma of Electrical Engineering, planning on using it to reform the JJR Electrical Dept. in a year or two, primarily by firing my current supervisor and his boss. Possibly the other apprentice as well, though best to wait and see if he could improve free from the rotted logic currently in use. In the meantime, am proving to be a major thorn in the side of their all of their plans (deliberately and by chance), though they do keep trying to fire me...

Am looking at buying a house with Gaby, though it is incredibly expensive. About $680 to $840 a week. Luckily I get a pay rise shortly, and in bewteen that and Gaby's new job, it might be possible to cover it... Or, we could go overseas every year for a month or two instead. Tricky choice.

Finally got everything I need for my dirtbike, big fuel tank, pannier bags and rear bag, the lot. Am going to long rides, usually with Gaby, and am loving it. Highly recommend it to anyone, and would help any way possible to help you get into it.

Anyway, gotta go study some Star-Delta Transformations...

Am considering a shindig of sorts, something like a BBQ on the cliffs again. Anyone is welcome, but as with the last time I tried to organise something, if no one replies I'm just going to spend the afternoon smooching my lady.

Far from a bad way to start a year wouldn't you say?

By the by, work is wonderful, I never hope to be awake and working at 3am ever again. Though somehow I suspect I will be...

Pretty simple huh?

Allllrighty then. Since January, have started pre-apprenticeship cert in electrotechnology, going well and getting honours pretty much the entire way through. Polished the cruiser for the upcoming weekend away, at this moment it seems likely to be either myself, gaby and leah, or possibly sans leah if she cannot make it. Anyone reading this is welcome to express interest, but most people aren't, oddly enough. Re-wiring the trailer tomorrow evening with my lady, should prove to be exciting and insect filled as signs point to.

Other than that, just gained licences and qualifications in the meantime I guess, and in about a month or two I'll hopefully be buying myself a car of my very own, and with any luck it'll be a subaru impreza 2.5RS, but that is at the moment much of a pipe-dream.

Oh, and for anyone wanting to come farming, there is no cost for fuel this time around, as this is a "business trip" that is paid for by my work repairing the trailer.

How handy.

For those of you oblivious to my current location, tis' Canada. B.C. , Big White more specifically. About an hours drive from Kelowna. Been here 2 weeks, staying another more, then going for a bit of explore around the place. Should be back on the 11th of Feb. , all things going to (rough) plan.

Cheers
