Warp Speed
It’s been a slow weekend. Gine worked Saturday and most of my time was devoted to, surprise, surprise, EVE Online. I’m still bouncing around solo in high security space, but have moved down to .7 where I have to deal with the odd rat. Right now I have two Hammerhead drones doing the dirty work for me and I’m considering moving to .6 space because surviving in .7 isn’t much of a challenge. It is of course possible that .6 is too dangerous for a scared care bear like myself.
I also went out and bought a Retriever. There will be another few days before I can actually fly it, but I found one at a reasonable price only a few jumps away, so I decided to buckle up in the Badger Mark II and fly over to transport it back home.
Yes, all that was just gibberish to all of you except one of my regular readers (yes, I take the liberty to actually think I do have regular readers), so let’s talk about the complete opposite of sitting in front of a computer playing a game.
And that is - you probably guessed it already - exercise. I’m usually not a forgetful person, but when I pack my backpack to go to the gym, I usually forget something, no matter how sure I am I’ve remember everything. Not long ago I forgot my heart rate monitor and the other day I forgot my towel and shampoo. Standing there without a towel and shampoo after a workout is not that much fun. I’m a man and thus smell like one.
Tomorrow I’m back on the support roller coaster, which means no exercise for a week. That’ll be phun.

I’m impressed! It took me ages to get to the point where I could fly Mining Barges. I’m saving up for the exhumer-skill right now, so hopefully I’ll be flying a Mackinaw (for Ice-Mining in 0.0) or a Hulk, a very expensive piece of machinery, for regular ore-mining.
Vegard, I have to say this one more time: It pains me to see you missing out on the best part of the game, which is Corp interaction. Just yesterday we (my corp and I) had ‘Mission Night’ where a group of us (we were 10) came together and cracked a lot of lvl 4 missions. Great fun, and 10 mil in bounties for myself. If youre partially interested, contact Alex Chaos, and he will get you into Nix Academy - we can even help you relocate! (with our freighters). Hope to see you soon, whichever direction you take :)
When I’m capable of flying the Retriver, I’ll seriously consider a corp.
