Well i finally set my things up. Now people can throw coins at me. I made a Liberapay and BuyMeACoffee. I asked nicely to job services by email if i was eligible for mentoring my bicycle place thingy-project so. Slowly but steady.

Life went super hard suddenly, i started writing this post after my lovely cat died, i miss her lil head all the time now. But she died because she was an old cat. Twenty years of life is long for a cat, i started calling her "the old lady" few years back because she had some moody attitude.

Anyway, after that well, it was empty. Because i lost her while i had a relative staying for few days. Clearly lost vision for a good month, then gaming came again. I restarted super long gaming sessions again. i find it comforting. And yeah.

Since i also got twisted in my brain, i also lost my energy to actively find a job and get outside and being a social creature and meet people and drink coffee at the local place where one of my friends work and do something else than sleep, game and eat once a day.

May

Then with a little rest time, i got back on my usual stuff. Not actually gaming, and trying to get better with Kicad, Freecad and all.

June

I prepared myself for some fabrication conttest i wanna attend in September, its not really a competitive contest, but focusing all my energy on something is good right?

It is another bicycle project, yes. The plan isn't quite finished yet. I'm gonna use a 90' Rockrider 340 frame as base. and i'll see.

In other news in bicycle section, i need a new rear wheel for my Raleigh 20, i think i fucked up my 8speed hub. Then also i even made it standard by making dropouts a bit wider so, i think the next step for this cutie is to go wild now. Might making even more standard by reducing the bottom bracket to a standard size too. Standard like square taper spindle.

Wit is still a beauty.

Croix Mini isn't done. yeah its been a full year of hit and miss on this project, i can't stand it. Makes me sad but in other hand i had too many stuff to handle.

What's next

For the next month i'm gonna push ALL my bicycle projects to the max, i need them finished and rideable conditions. I'm gonna get a tool manufactured to finish Croix-Mini since the tool i wanna buy is now out of stock (real hit and miss on that one)

Do some R&D for the contest thing. i'll try to get some documentation to share for it.

Friends needed!

Dont hesitate to shoot some messages, i have a matrix account and a magnificent XMPP adress too. my DM are open and i always assume the emojis match with yours.
If you're into the same weird stuff as me. well we could get along!

Summer is around the corner, care about the others.
