Well, this year's been a bit of a busy one for this mutt, for those whom read this. I'm grateful for those sticking around.

It kicked off with a trip in Feb to Iowa and Illinois over in the US for a week to work on battery packs, which proved quite interesting to see the US away from the tourist areas, and it's honestly crazy the difference in some areas, parts were very well kept, but then other parts were practically dystopian in how run down it was.

Later on I went out to Nords again, ran another few laps and met a few friends from online in general, and hit it off well, as I got to meet up again with a friend again a month later when i went back to Germany for playing with laser welding for work.

The house has progressed well, most of the major work baring the kitchen and bathroom has been completed though that needs me to save up and for now.. I can live with it. The place now is good enough I'm now bringing home my project car that's been in mothballs for the past 15 years or so and been a pipe dream till now. Plans are afoot to get a new welder, the required PPE and start making this dream a reality.

Also turned 42 back in October.. Life the universe and everything unlocked? who knows. It's kinda scary I've been on this website nearly 20 years now and gained a few good friends here, to those whom have been there for me past and present, thank you, you've been what kept me going in my darkest times.

Here's to 2025 hopefully not being quite so much of a crapshoot but .. we can only wait and see.
See you on the flip side
