Hi Everybody.
I just wanted to give you a life sign from the other side of the globe, the dark continent. Well we arrived here end of August and started to settle in. It took us a wheile to find a house that was affordable, real estate has gone completly crazy in Nairobi, but we finaly found a place to stay. My wife also settled well in her Job, just the comute is such a drag with the crazy traffic congestion. My daughter Tara is going to the German School Kindergarten, the same place I went to, it was a wiered feeling to walk with her there on her first day of Kindergarten. All the memories poped up and I recognised so many things from my childhood. I am planing to open my small workshop here and finaly after 3 months our Kontainer arrived from KAnada, the last four days we have been unpacking all our belongings and sorting everything, but we still have alot to do. Otherwise I bought a car and a trialer for my new bike. THe weekends are mostly booked riding in the bush on singletrials or no trials at all lol. I also competet in a big FIM Offroad event for the first time and survived, its all about fitness and I am still working on that. I miss Wimac and the hobby, sometimes more sometimes less, I realised it always gave me a boost espacialy in difficult times, when I went out to fly my helis it always gave me back that positive spirit. I hope you are all fine and that you enjoy your great club. Take care and if I should visit I will surely come by. Take care. Pete
