Time

Time is a funny thing, too often we don't have enough of it, it goes by too fast and yet at other times it just doesn't go fast enough.  In my case lately I haven't had enough.  Today marks the first real day off that I've had in about 3 weeks.  I've been working 12+ hour days as well as moving into a new apartment and all that goes with that.

There is so much more we would all do with more time.  I for one would spend more time with family, work more on my side projects that will hopefully one day allow me to be self employed and update this blog more often.  Sorry about not updating more often, I also just noticed that Brian of Panda Pirate Brian_日本で (^_-) linked me in the friends/links area of his blog so I apologize to those of you that came here only to find a somewhat stagnant blog, I promise I'll try to do better.  Big thanks for the link Brian! ^_^  You have no idea how jealous I am of some of the posts you put up, like that visit to UpGarage for example.

The new place is great, has lots of space and best of all I have my own room.  That might seem a bit strange, but I work at home so having my own office is a huge necessity that was seriously lacking in the old apartment.  For the curious, the new place has 3 bedrooms (4 if you count my office), 2 bathrooms and a total of 115 square meters of space.  It is also on the top floor and has great views.  I'll get some pics posted soon when everything isn't dead and white outside.

Speaking of the side projects, one of them is finally about to start moving into the production phase.  I've recently ordered the materials I need to start making Carbon Fiber parts.  I'm going to start off small and work with some parts for radio control cars and see how it goes.  The parts are small enough so that they don't require huge amounts of raw materials which will keep my costs down while I'm learning the hands-on skills.  I've already studied lots of resources on the techniques and methods I just need to learn the physical skills of putting those theories into practice.  Hopefully it will take off and I'll be able to make something much larger out of it.  I have lots of ideas, it just depends on how much time I will have to dedicate to it.
