It seems that some people do still occasionally drop by. I shall have to do better by them in the future.

Once more I am back in the job market. I sent of a couple of letters of interest the other day. Its been years since I did that. Two of the properties are fairly close, only an hour or two out of town. One of them is a horse property. They didn't specify anything more, I suspect its an adjistment property. Use of the property facilities goes with the position. I wonder if that includes the horses? If not, I shall have to look into getting one. Assuming that I go work there, and I am not holding my breath. I'm probably won't be the most qualified person applying. So I have to rely on my 'good looks and charm'. I expect to be unemployed for a while.

I did have a plan. I was going to buy an old motorcycle, strip it down and rebuild it. I figured it would keep me busy through Christmas and new Year. Then I could get on with getting a job. The idea met with a less than enthusiastic response at home. No real surprise there. I could just do it anyway, but considering I am living at home and would need the garage, I decided on a change in plan. Get a job, get my own place, then do it. Its a bit sad really, I had found a really nice Kawasaki GT 750.

I have started the process of catching up with friends. I have spoken to a few others by email. So far they remember who I am. Hopefully I shall be able to catch up with them before the Christmas madness starts. But meanwhile, I still find myself with more time on my hands than is good for me. I have been reading a fair bit, and doing some writing. But I need something to get me out of the house. There is a old wall unit, dresser, pantry ... something out in the garage awaiting restoration. It has been there for years. I think that I will get on to that.
