End of consulting projects!

 The last couple of years have been frantic. I was supposed to be retired but ended up on a couple of projects that ate up the time.

HOWEVER - as of yesterday.....

I have taken the decision to down tools on consultancy work and focus on stuff I want to do. That includes travel as well as finishing off the frog and bridge products we have built within the Advisory business.

Feels like I've retired - still 'working' but not getting paid for any of this - does that constitute retirement?

Anyway I need to run through what I can remember of the past year to try and not have a gap in the blog records.

Things that happened in 2021 and up to July in 2022 that I can remember - in bullet form,

  1. Presentation of bridge monitoring and satellites at Manseds conference - first I'd done in quite a while.
  2. Many trips to the 'Static' in Wales - excellent working breaks.
  3. Roxy (our motorhome) trip with Amanda around Scotland - fantastic!
  4. 1st and 2nd Glasbury bridge recordings taken with SAIN
  5. Anniversary in LLandrindod Wells
  6. Start work on Autonomous Minesweeper project for Thales.
  7. Trip to Plymouth to see 'the boat'
  8. Trip to Madrid with Richard to visit FOSSA Syatems and update on SAIN dev.
  9. Christmas in the Static
  10. Trip to Maui - WOW always great. Lahaina flat and worked through analysis of SAIN data with Stuart.
  11. Trips to Bristol, Templecombe on Thales job
  12. Trip to Crete on historical tour.
  13. HS1 'wall' recordings with SAIN
  14. 3rd Glasbury bridge recording
  15. Salisbury and Bristol again to finish Thales job.
  16. ENDED CONSULTANCY PROJECTS FOR NETWORK RAIL AND THALES IN JUNE
which probably doesn't mean much to anyone but myself. 

Now to refocus on SAIN.
