What keeps me going is music (and beer). I love it. I have tons of music. as I sit and type this there are at least 50 original (mostly limited edition in some way) CDs just sitting on my desk in my office (at home). These are the ones I am currently cataloguing into my database. I also like technology - computers and stuff. I started work back when you really needed to understand how computers worked (i/o, bus bandwidth, memory allocation - that sort of stuff) whereas now you just move a slider! I'm all for making things easier but a good proportion of people today know how to move the slider, just not what the slider does so don't know what to do when moving the slider doesn't help. Anyway rant over. Last year I bought a boat. I had never been boating before but bought a 27 foot 4 berth motor cruiser which is taking up a lot more of my money, and a lot less of my time than I had hoped for when I spunked (for me) a very large sum of money. Still if you want to see there are a couple of pics of my boat here, if anyone wants to see any more, I have tons of them. The missus and I like our boat - it's posh camping without sleeping on the floor and there are far fewer kids in a marina than there are in some crappy camp-site annexed off of a farmers field which stinks of cow poo so you can never be sure if the smell is the next field full of animals or the kids in the next tent. Oh, and I am a (sort of) veggie (sort of means I eat a bit of fish). I am veggie for health reasons - I am an unfit, fairly unhealthy man so every little helps plus meat is made from dead animals, yuk. Except sausages, of course, I'm not totally sure what sausages are made from.
