Ok, so this year has seen some changes. Most notably the change of address as a result of leaving my wife last year. But some things, like the desire for a super chill living room, never changes.

Crikey, 6 months since my last blog entry. Lots has happened, let’s start with the new toy.
Introducing Ila, my new Sea Nymph 14’6 boat!

So just like in The Fishtank Rebuild Project, and in Aquariums are the best … I like fish.
This is the story of how I ended up with a monster under the house.

So as I mentioned in The Fishtank Rebuild Project, I bought a big tank! I’ve got plans to stock this with, probably, very expensive fish, that are quite rare.

The suspension setting process provided here is a “Basic” methodical guide to providing a way to update you current suspension to the style of riding to best suit your needs. When suspension works correctly the bike will be much more enjoyable to ride.

So it all started with Matt giving us a fishtank, read about it here: Aquariums are the best.

So like I mentioned in The new 2018 Winter Hobby, Helen and I were invited to join the Sims family (my sister Karen, and her family) for Christmas 2018.
Ian, Karen, Jamie, Josh, and Emily (the Sims Family) go to Méribel every Christmas; so frequently that a few years back they bought their own chalet. Cool! and even cooler that we got an invite to join them. It has been, I dunno, maybe 25 years since Karen and I spent a Christmas together, so what an amazing invitation from Karen!

So, 31 years on the Def Leppard album Hysteria is still going strong. When Def Leppard annouced they were coming to New Zealand I couldn’t resists; reminiscient of an easier time in my life of high school, no bills, no resposibilities; great .. I’m going to see Def Leppard!

So Labour weekend (October) also brings with it the end of the snow season in NZ, sad face. But, happy face, lots of sunshine! I’ve had such an awesome Winter this year; learning to snowboard, and then snowboarding almost every weekend! Amazing

So you may or may not be aware that Helen and I have taken up snowboarding in a big way. Basically every weekend this winter we’ve been to the mountain.
