There hasn't been much of an update for the past few days as they've been filled with basically work, work and work. Reporting, stats, coding, more stats all toward some greater good I suppose. Working through the weekend and at night to get this stuff done, happy I am not.
So with all that, some positive updates.
My dad is buying a car and he is giving us his old one! A 2003 Mazda 3, 4 cyl-2.4L 4 door hatchback.
No more car shopping for me! It's a little rusty and rough around the edges but it runs smooth and has a good few years left in it.
On the topic of cars, I've put up a few ads on kijiji looking for a donor car to convert to electric power and a dead or surplus electric forklift parts. I've pined after owning an electric car for years and years and I've seen a good number of budget builds on-line, so I'm hoping to get lucky on some free and very very cheap parts and see if I can build a local runabout for next to nothing.
It's going to take a long time to gather everything on a next to nothing budget but with a little perseverance I bet I can pull it off.
That's all I really have for now. My life has been filled with work and kids back to back and lately at the same time so no real time for anything else other than stats and stopping Amelia from terrorizing the cat.
