Ok, now i have officially started blogging, or better: Phlogging

I think there is no better format to document the adventures of using 
retrotech in the modern day. 

As it seems that the pandemic -at least in germany- is slowly dying down 
its time to think about what this year of chaos brought so far: At first its safe to 
say it brought out the weirdest side of the people. I remember seeing two 
guys fighting over toiletpaper, i remember a guy grocery shopping in full 
military hazmat gear and i remember the shear "going crazy" experience in 
the public.

On the positive side: The experience of empty highways und just seeing a 
car every now and then was fascinating. So it must have been in the 50s 
and 60s i think. Another positive effect was the plus on free time: In 
germany we are lucky, as there is something called "Kurzarbeit", you get 
paid by your company for the real time you work and around 70 percent of  
the difference to your regular salary is paid by the government. So my 
wife and i had much more time to work on our barn conversion.
