New Year, New Project...

Having a new born a lot of work. Your time and energy gets used up quite quickly, but there are moments (albeit brief ones) where you just sit (rocking) and contemplate your entire existence both past and future. The familiar questions of who am I? what am I doing here? and what the hell was I thinking! come up, as well as, maybe its time to really figure out what path I am really on. Always a restless wanderer, I have stumbled through life following the whims of my imagination where every they may lead. I have taught myself to paint, to play music, to yearn for the higher ideals of the spirit. I have learned cooking, carpentry, silver smithing, electronics, the joys and labors of working with your hands. In all the years that have past I have come to know two things.
1. I love to learn
2. I hate that I absolutely hate working 9 to 5.
Really, I can't do it. My hours have never corresponded with that of societies, I have tried for 35 years and it just doesn't work out. I love to work on things/projects from when I have my first coffee till my eyes can no longer focus.... so punching a clock is dangerous to my sanity.
So this is my year to finally restore the balance, the solution?  I must work for myself.
Armed with 35 years of useless knowledge and creative passion I set out now to find that path.

New year, New project...... a melody of all my hobbies.

Today I finished the design of my CNC router that I intend to complete in the next 6 months.
This machine of metal, motors and mayhem is hopefully the beginning of this path.  A machine that can fabricate things... needful things... useless things... beautiful things,,,  a machine that represents the  culmination of my talents and dreams.
Dream, Design, Determination, Destiny. She will be called D4.
