Vacation?

Nah, not very likely this year. Maybe a long weekend here and there, but
nothing substantial.

Moved on to bigger and better things?

You could say that.
Moved house last year. Bigger and better!
Still takes a lot of my time.

Also the garden is *a lot* bigger. Better? Well . . . .
Let's say it was a nice garden when it started 30-odd years ago, but in that
time even the smaller shrubs have grown into, well, trees.
I mean the 15-20 meters (50-65 feet) kind of trees!
Had a guy in to cut a few of them down two weeks ago: took out 5000 kg
(11,000 lbs) of assorted wood.
Brought back some light in (a small corner of) the garden.

It's rewarding yet timeconsuming work. And lots more to come.

Laying low? (Watch out for the black helicopters!)

Watching out for falling timber, more likely ;-)

Started working on a 8595-AKF some time ago for the sake of testing Ünal's
XGA208 driver.
Got it going after the usual trials and trebulations, but it has been
standing here looking rather disheveled with all the panels off for more
than three months now.
Never got round to testing (sorry Ünal..).

I always say "I'll get round to it when I retire!".

I just wish the government would stop upping the retirement age everytime

Hi Jelte....

I retired from the USAF in 1972 at the tender age of 38......and I
haven't stopped working yet. Am 75 now and don't want to
either.........

Think of the alternative :-)
