Sorry for being off the grid for so long, but we’ve been creating some exciting things here in Germanyland. Firstly, Our beautiful daughter turned 3 last week and it seems just only yesterday I was cradling her in my arms with a bottle. Her German is outstanding, but sadly she lost her Spanish. However, her English is up to par for a three-year old and the teachers at her school in Germany thinks it’s absolutely endearing when she answers with a “Yes” sometimes.
Andrea has returned to work full-time as a detective with an office in the roof of 120 year old police station and she is very excited to get back to and cleaning Bremen’s streets. Most importantly she has her gun back, which I really enjoy having in the house. She still won’t let me carry it though…. so the orange plastic one will have to do.
Now I’ve been in the automation and robotics industry for nearly 15 years and I have finally come to the end of the ROBOT chapter in my life. It has given me a beautiful life and the chance to travel to exotic locales like Birmingham Alabama and Mexico City for example……….. but it has also set the stage for my new career. Designing, building, and selling custom-made cargo utility bicycles throughout Europe and beyond. (Details to follow in the coming weeks)
Early production marketing units start in 4 weeks and before that I will have 18 hour days ahead of me. I have done a lot of research and business parallel to my current job so I will hit the ground running when I start. Most importantly though, it allows me to be home with my family and help raise Lotta while Andrea works full-time.
Our truck is still parked in Uruguay and I will be down there shortly to pick it up and arrange for it to be shipped to Germany. Once there, we will have a lot of material to write about as we trek across Western Europe sharing the wonderful things of that great continent.
Thanks for reading!
