2024 was a pretty busy year.

My wife and I went to Africa, completing our visit to all 7 continents.
It was a very cool trip and we had a great time.

In July we went to Iceland and help build and then burn down a Viking longhouse.

We attended a historical conference in Leeds UK that was very interesting.

We had the second highest number of Phoenix Swords show this year. The only year that beat it was the one were some of our folks wanted to do it full time so we really pushed things. (Then, they changed their minds…)
We didn’t do any shows farther south than Delaware, which is a change for us. No shows in Florida, Alabama or Mississippi. But, I can’t say I miss those long drives. 6 hours to Delaware is driving enough.

We got to visit the Bayeux Tapestry in France. That’s something I’ve wanted to do for decades.

I changed jobs for the first time in more than a decade. For the first time in 15 years I’m not an engineering manager, but a design engineer. I prefer that and never really wanted to be a manager, so was quite happy with this change.
It’s also the first time in 15 years I haven’t been designing some version of robot freezers. Now it’s big power batteries. I’m OK with that too.

Because of the new job I went back to China for the first time in 19 years.

So, all in all, a busy year.
Happy new year to everyone!
Let’s hope 2025 is good!
