Day #1 or hour zero, whatever, as you please.

Well, here it is. Ages since I wrote anything here but I have a new mission and intend to see it through to completion. My main aims are to blog each day during the next 101 days. I picked 101 as a number mainly because of the Orwellian connection (...room 101) and all the horrors that need to be overcome. In order to grease the wheels on my somewhat rusty chariot I have resolved not to have any beer, wine or hard liquor for that period of time.

I don't know what the coming months will bring but I hope it will be positive. My aims for this period of time are to...

  • Tidy the house and get as much renovation done as I can.
  • Actually learn Morse Code properly and get to at least 15 wpm.
  • Finish my degree course - three essays and two exams.
  • Get a workshop happening again so I can set up my tools and test gear.
  • Get my bikes back on the road.
  • Clear my pile of unread books.
  • Try and go for a decent walk every day.
I don't know if I've set the bar a bit too high but it isn't such a big deal though I guess on day #1 that is an easy thing to say. I'm going to close for now but hopefully this blog - and the fact that I am " advertising" this mission online - will cultivate an ongoing impetus to succeed. That is all I want to do. I guess now is the time to open fire!!!
