I have enjoyed making the small series of videos that chart my adventures in beautiful Thailand. But my YouTube channel cannot exist on my once a year break. But what to do. My depressive voice tells me that whatever I do it fails. so why should this be any different. Luckily my black dog is way behind me and I can barely hear him. And at the moment I'm a glass half full 'kinda guy'.
I have worked in engineering of one kind or another since leaving school and my first job in a classic car restoration workshop. Even my short foray in to academia lead to a few years in geotechnical engineering. Many hours were spent on Scottish hillsides, waiting for water to seep out of a hole, cut from the glacial till. Knowing that with the high clay content of the sample hole, that water ain't going nowhere. But practical engineering has been part of my whole adult life. Even today, although not so hands on, I still work in engineering. My role for the last 7 years, as an NPPD&I Technician for a global engine manufacturer. And my years in various roles from boat fitter to offshore hydraulic technician, must have provided me with some transferrable skills.
So I am not entirely sure what to do, both myself and Mrs G would love no better than to spend the rest of our days moving from hotel to hotel, spending maybe a month or two in each, or possibly rent a villa in Portugal for 6 months a year. But to achieve this I need to be able to work remotely, from wherever there is an internet connection. All this experience should be able to provide some sustenance. So some serious thinking needs to be done, but here at 60 and even with my black dog, I still have dreams. And at the moment that pleases me.
