Congrats!

Re: [Council] Q1 2018 Community Council Election Announcement

Double that Feathers!

Hmmm...

Is THAT all it takes ...a baby???

geez if I'd known...I wouldn't have gone on about my excesses in porridge ...
(dammit! ....which probably make me a perfect candidate for office ...not the porridge...but my problem with excesses.... ...look how I am with too much porridge and no power...give me power and I truly truly promise not to abuse it on cocaine.....)

ooooh!
completely unrelated in any way whatsoever to Feathers announcement ..
I just realised I may not be able to take office...
I completely forgot to mention...
just by happenstance ..
I too am having a baby!

Re: [Council] Q1 2018 Community Council Election Announcement

Thanks for the nomination (and confidence :)).
I do appreciate that.

But unfortunately I also have lots of excuses to not candidate :(
And there are already good ol' friends and hopefully some new (?) on their way.

@Feathers
congrats
this (coming) time is the easier time, even it may not feel like it ;) but it will allow you enough time slices on the day :D

Thank you; however no thanks. When I was elected once, my schedule at work exploded. After a few title changes, my schedule has stayed unfortunately slammed.

Re: [Council] Q1 2018 Community Council Election Announcement

^^^ Oh well, what a shame.

Re: [Council] Q1 2018 Community Council Election Announcement

Well ..
It has been a lark and all...
now time for serious verbiage.

I too feel it is important I abstain from the nomination running.

A few know here that I just bought and moved to my chalet on my island acreage last February ...
Fewer still know how much free time I have at the moment..
growing up a farm boy ..rural life is not only the way to live... in my opinion...but very full ..in an enriching way...that is...

I am still trying to get my studio and workshop fully unpacked and set up in between work..
renovations..on the lower floor ...
making new storm windows...
chainsawing and cutting trees and chopping wood for the wood stove for the winter...
putting up deer fencing...
rebuilding and reinforcing the pond dam...
setting up a pelton wheel for the stream that runs down the mountain to pull me "off the grid" either partially or fully, sell the excess electricity back to the provincial government hydro company..
get the chicken hutch repaired and stocked...(I like the clucking :D) ...with "layers" ..for fresh eggs daily ...
a hutch as well for some ducks..
and repair the goat shed for a couple of goats...

So it is a little full for me the next year or two...
just in getting everything done..
once done...
well its done..
and maintenance is a piece of cake after that...
for now though ...my days after work...and my days off ...are consumed with the above...

Of course when I do find myself sitting still..
I am puttering away on the new maemo development distro.
or one of the other little side projects I have...

So ...
Considering all the above...

I think that my best contribution to the community at this point is helping when and where I can...and finishing the projects I am working on...

I highly appreciate the lunatic faith in me by those who feel that I would make a good bit of filler on the council though ...
I would hope that in the future when I have my finished all my needed work...those who nominated me would do so again ..then.

yours -
Endso

Re: [Council] Q1 2018 Community Council Election Announcement
