Time flew by when you are really having fun. Although, how can it be fun with the pandemic in full swing? Well, I am just one of those that really like working from home and never have we wanted to watch a movie or hang out at the bar. We miss the once in a month meal at the restaurant, but otherwise, life is pretty much the same on that end. On our accomplishments, we had so many!
Cats got their patio and I made little upgrades here and there for them.
Re-upholstered the tent frame from last year with this pretty printed canvas. They enjoy their new tent cover, and they love fluffy bed addition that I bought for their Christmas gift. The base is heated with ceramic heating lamps and a space heater is installed to give them a warm toasty fluffy bed to crawl into.
And I went overboard with gardening projects. A whole new planter space and deer damage mitigation plan plus a weather station that reads daylight intensity, temperature and humidity.
Despite the raging COVID situation, I made time in the very last week of Dec to fly in style to Singapore.
Yep, I arrived on the 31st of Dec and was quarantined at a dedicated facility for 14 days. I enjoyed every minute of it.

I spent New Years’ Day at Park Avenue Changi. I was given a small suite, so I had lots of space to work in and stretch out. No hardship at all.
Like I said, I am strange by most people’s opinion. I am happy for that time to work on at my job with The Facebook and my personal robotics projects. The line between programming and robotics are fuzzy in the way I applied my skills.
Started to make a series of robotics videos for my future YouTube channel.

Hooray for testing negative. And when I got out, I go out to enjoy a bit of the “high life”… eating at the top of the “ship”
And drinking at a roof top brewery with a view of the ship. Was good beer, so I had quite a few of them.
5 weeks goes back fast, but I was happy to head back. Kitties and Doug need me… or so I think. I am glad I did not miss being with the kids for their 1st snow experience.
…. In spring, I had professional help to take down quite a few trees, as we are preparing the front lot for a new work shed building.
…. I rented this Bobcat to pull a few small stumps, ground levelling, gravel pushing and logs hauling. It was so cool playing with one of these. Everybody should try it đŸ˜‰
Now, with those trees being cut, and they were good quality fir and alders, I decided to start milling them for picnic table and saving chunks for my bowls. Doug is going to use the fir for his gantry…. Among other things. These are beautiful wood that is just too good to become firewood.
So we worked well through Spring. Summer activity report coming up in next installment.
