End of Year

Had items and thoughts to post, however, never got around to it this year. Year was spent with work, workplace injuries, and some time at home, with minimal hobbies. Almost no genealogy work this year, scanning of archival material is still behind, did some 3D printing during the spare time, spent time with family when available, garden was essentially a write off (see workplace injury), and a fair amount of time in physio.

Currently on vacation, and just finished being sick the last week (common cold).
A good portion of the fall had me doing 6-7 day work weeks, however, looking ahead to next year where it will reduce down to me having weekends again and maybe a slower pace going into fiscal year end.

Week of the 9th Dec was silly week at work. 3D printed a half-dozen miniature catapults so we could all do some target practice, done in good fun.

End of that week went and saw Wicked at the VIP theater, quite enjoyed. Feels like it's been a very long time since going out to see a movie, and was first time doing the VIP experience—would do again.

Will be a busy week coming up. Same as was listed for last year.

Happy New Year

Once again it is a new year. Hope everyone had the best of holidays, and may good things come.

Bought a 3D printer over the holidays, and watching it work feels like watching the future. Almost like a replicator from Star Trek. Must say it is quite the marvel.
Holidays were quite busy, with hosting two family events, and then attending many others and then a New Years Levee at work.

Slowly chipping away at transcribing the 1921 Canadian Census, searching for stragglers and improper recorded people. As always, updated the large Irish listing of various trees.
