I am already on holiday until the 5th of Jan :W So far I was busy busy busy, routing a new 3 phase power line to my workshop, restored an old table lamp as a present for my son, fixed the annoying popping noise in my car stereo, hand washed and waxed the car, had a good chat with my mechanic about upcoming repairs, tried for the first time ever to hone a cylinder, turned a large pulley from Aluminium, got a lot of presents ready, plus this and that. I am so happy....I could do this all year long. Can't wait for retirement ;)


Wow, TeeGee, what energy! Careful, retirees get overwhelmed quickly. Retirement takes preparation.😂😂

When I take a landscape photo, the biggest challenge for me right now is always making sure the horizon is truly horizontal. I hate crooked horizons in pictures. Of course, there are a thousand little helpers for that, but I don’t care for them—I want to achieve it freehand, by myself, to make the horizon a real horizon. It’s a bit like with the guitar these days; I don’t want to rely on effects machines that much. Things are more interesting to me at their core.

The horizontal horizon does not exist, take it from a former surveyor... Just kidding.🤣🤣🤣

I picked up a Christmas tree from the store today. Luckily, the tree didn't weigh as much as I feared. I carried it home on my shoulder for two kilometers.

Or maybe I've just become stronger 😂

Luckily, the Christmas break in hobbies has started. I was already starting to feel a bit tired, so now I can happily eat chocolate during Christmas, because I really feel like I've done something.



Well, I'm not quitting all my hobbies, even though it's Christmas. Maybe I'll make a few songs for Wikiloops in the next two weeks, at least that's my goal.
