Where did the time go ?!!

Wow!! My last post was over two years ago !! Guess I'm not destined to be a daily blogger.
By the way,for old friends,relatives, etc......if you want to contact me for any reason....you'll find me on Facebook and also on some of the main genealogy sites.
If you go to Google and type in... Ward Greene,Judge,Newfoundland....that'll find some of my genealogy postings.
Or of course,as I just mentioned,on Facebook.

#### Not writing anything on this blog was not a conscious decision....it just happened. I am always interested in so many things that I go from one to the other quickly. I guess blogging wasn't high on the agenda...LOL.

#### What specifically of great interest has happened with me in the past two years? Probably nothing. Of course it's all been of interest to me,as I go from book writing to building something on my block to seeing what I can coax out of the vegetable garden area to going to big collctor shows,swap meets,etc., a few dozen other things,and back to working on books again.

#### Got a couple of motorcycles. One is an XV750 Yamaha that needs some work on it. Since I shortly after got a top condition Honda GB400,
the fun of the XV750(the year before the Virago...looks like a Virago)....,thinking about the amount of work and my non-existent free time to mess around with it.....I'll probably now just trade it off for something else I can use around here,maybe a mtorized rotary tiller/hoe or a motorized slasher or something else along that general line.

#### Been trying to find time to brush up on my Chinese through putting onto my computer a Rosetta Stone Mandarin course. Also got a Wenlin 3 course and put it on the computer also.
Very different things. The Rosetta Stone one lets you try out speaking,understanding(audio),reading,etc. via a series of photos of people doing all kinds of things in daily life.
The Wenlin 3 is very different....it has large dictionaries and search facilities, even a small inbuilt screen area where you can,using the computer mouse, write your own attempts at Chinese characters.

### Hope to be back before two years !
