What happened? I put in some extra hours to get it over with, hence the fraction. I’m planning on finishing this week. Maybe not the best decision because there’s something nice “happening” in Hamburg: http://faehrstieg.net/butendiek

Quite some interesting workshops and decent people (I guess, they are friends of friends…). So sweat away the last work days and start the work on the van or take the van, go to hamburg, go back to oldenburg, work one day + fetch my stuff and go back to hannover? Not the best choice for the environment but most certainly fun. Well. I think I’ll decide tomorrow.

Next week is my last week in Oldenburg if I work a straight 40 hour week. I start to wrap thinks up and my mood is improving every day in anticipation of travelling, free time and lot’s of fun.

The weather for the outdoor trip isn’t too bad. Normally I would have cancelled it due to too much risk of getting wet in the rain and then freeze in the night. Luckily I’ve got the van now, it’s (almost) waterproof and it got heating!

My thoughts exactly, thanks internet / emok.tv!

Today I put in some extra minutes to get down to exactly six working days left. It weird when you see the end coming. The first candidate for my room in our shared flat didn’t show up, the second is really early.  At least now my room is cleaned up and ready for presentation. One tip if you’re searching for a room in a shared flat: Don’t bring your mother. Even if she’s a nice lady it somehow doesn’t leave the best impression possible especially if you’re just turned 18 and moving out from home.The weather is shitty as well so it’s just a matter of getting it over with. I’m lacking motivation to work on the van, even if I could just prepare the raspi and the power source for the entertainment system. Maybe the amps arrive tomorrow and will motivate me. We’ll see.

I developed a new hobby. After work I take the van, drive to a nice location and start drinking tea. The sliding door is awesome because there is nothing blocking it like in many RVs. So you can either park vertical to the sun beams and enjoy the sun in your face or angled like on the picture. I have to add a cushion to the back of the passenger seat…

I just ordered some more parts for the entertainment system so stay tuned… I hope this (quite short) working week will be over soon because I really look forward to the weekend. The weather should become perfect for hiking which is exactly what I would like to do…

Besides work I did quite some research on the entertainment system and the solar power options. I’ll write about it shortly. The rest of the day will be spend visiting a friend and partying in bremen… I’m still unsure about the rest of the weekend, either the first festival of the season, bremen or somewhere else. Maybe I should resist the urge to start working on the travel vehicle for a little bit and just enjoy myself… No real need to hurry since I have no fixed plans. The bus seems to be a good buy, I really enjoy it and it just feels right. It definitely needs some love and it will get it for sure. The previous owner didn’t seem to like oil & grease too much, every bit which should be slippery is dry as hell. And I really look forward to add some sugar to the thing. It will be awesome!
