I spent a month on South Island during their summer. It’s one of the prettiest places in the world, imo. And the people are ok, too.

I have been a carpenter for the past 25 years as my source of income and since the covid-19 outbreak decided to start a small business of my own working from home building custom pedal boards for guitar and bass players. So I started Lycan Customs pedal boards I have an online retail store on a website called REVERB It just fell In place being a musician myself for 35 years playing in bands since I was 15 years old Music is my passion…I did play professionally In a band back In 1990 but those days are foggy lol
A show In New York city I played bass for a band called “Wicked Sin” even though I’m technically a guitar player since the age of 12 It was a local band that was hot at the time and I wanted the gig and then the GRUNGE scene came along and we all know what happened to the music biz after that…

I live in a stunning rural part of the country, and work on a free range egg/sheep/the odd cow/ farm.
I can’t link to actual images or embed them, but my fave four are all in this folder:

This is the first lamb I’ve had to help into the world in a long time. Because she’s such a poser, @Letitia named her Hammy
And the frickin chickens

Where’s one eye? Please apologize to her for me, I can’t remember her name. Pretty sure it isn’t Escape Artist Extraordinaire.

It should be 
She’s called Hawkeye (from MASH). As a pullet she was attacked by a hawk, and I didn’t think she’d survive. I kept her separate from the flock, and fed and watered her by hand for the first few days. After a few weeks, she was back to normal apart from a lack of feathers on her head. Once she rejoined the flock, she’d meet me at the gate and fly up into my arms - which was always funny when I wasn’t expecting it.
2 years on, she’s the only chicken out of 1500 that I like

I’m a Field Engineer for a company that makes equipment for electric, natural gas, and water utilities. The company I work for makes the equipment to read usage (smart meters) and control distribution of the power. I work on the RF network side of things so the meters and controllers can talk back to back office systems. What all this means is I’m on the road a lot. My current project is in Minnesota where it is colder than a witch’s tit wearing a brass bra.
My best job is being a grandpa to my first grand baby! He’s now 5 days old!
