  • I figure it’s just different responsibilities… if I didnt have kids I’d be doing more of what I want to do (like fireworks and motorcycling).I had to put that on pause for 12 years or so, and just now I’m starting to do more for me. It was a joint decision that I would be a present dad rather than career focussed. And to be honest it’s been great being able to switch off work and enjoy my personal time. Family circumstances have changed and ironically I’ve had to be even more present but with COVID changing the work force expectations,at least in my business, to be more flexible, that it all works.

    I still feel 16 at heart and think I can get out of a chair really easily, but I can’t…my joints are stiffening and that really sucks.



  • Obtained my motorbike licensed recently…really enjoying learning how to get good at riding a motorcycle…I don’t get time.tonride as it is and I really need to make time to do slow manoeuvres as this is what is required to pass the next stage of licensing.

    I love seeing live music, however, where I love it’s just not an option to do each week. I love listening to records… me and the kid put a record on when doing the housework…teaching them the ways!

    Used to play video games every day for a few minutes…but haven’t played one in 5 months.

    Love baking baguettes, couronnes, bagels, pizza





  • Carlin: take your average person… half the world is dumber than that. (Or something to that effect)

    do what’s right for you, it might hurt in the short term, but it will be worth it in the long term (this goes for most things…FOMO, parties, relations, job offers, school offers)

    Don’t smoke. my father is dying…it’s not cool.

    Eat right, exercise regularly. It takes time, your fitness won’t appear overnight (it takes months).

    Brush your teeth and more importantly, floss/use picksters. Don’t eat sweet things 2 hours before bed.

    Everyone’s different (so take what I say with a pinch of salt, the above might not be for you)






  • I know I’ll get shit…I bought a 2004 Subaru Impreza new…and ran it for 15 I years…it never missed a beat. I put 110 thousand kilometres on it in that time. I loved driving it every time. Had it serviced when it needed. I sold it because I pivoted around a cement pole in a parking lot. Bit of damage to a door. Moved onto a WRX after that… again, it has never missed a beat. No issues whatsoever.
