What I've been up to lately

The monthly men's I started with a coulpe of other guys is growing, we started with guys in March and it's now - and that's not all make it each time, there's always a few away which is normal in any . really surprised and very pleased our growth. We have 3 leaders myself included so this makes it an easier workload.

One of us will open with prayer and there's a meet and greet time, then a meal which we provide free, drinks are free also then we have a 'tool time' which anyone nominated can talk about and display their hobbies, or work stuff, it's a show and tell thing. After this we have a gospel message or teaching, then general , more coffee etc & wind up the night. Have had lots of positive feedback so we seem to be doing well.

Sometimes I go into the city and do a bible study with a couple of guys, one has a shop in the markets and we meet there, we do the study with customers coming and going as it's not too busy.

I've been doing a bit of visitation to people in hospital struggling with illness and I visit rest homes.

I am involved with a men's shed on Tuesdays.

making a home solar system of bits and pieces, camping in one room with solar so to speak, my study is running off batteries at night which run a laptop, sound system, modem, lights and I can calibrate a small of recycled batteries as well in the evenings to make the system bigger slowly. Have about 2kw storage so far and should have about 5.6kw when finished. My goal is to be able to run the fridge as well on the system in case there's a power out. The fringe benefit is I'll save as well on power but really after the knowing of how it all works. Using second hand recycled stuff is a challenge and I think I learn more doing it way as the extra problems ascociated with broaden my knowledge of electronics.

A year ago I didnt know anything about electronics but after meeting a guy who built a home solar system at the men's shed, he has shown me how to build mine and lots of other things as well, we've become good friends.

On top of all that involved with a protesting against the late term abortion laws as well as being in another that meets every second Friday morning for lonely pensioner locals that have no real social outlet. I have to organise the study stuff some evenings, practice music and occasionally play music with the Irish Club.

I have very little time for blogs now as so busy but enjoying life.

Judgement Day will be interesting.
