To all the musicians no longer with us: Thank You!

Quite a prominent thing really but this blog post started to come about after I was listening to some things, and music by musicians no longer with us, and realised that really everyone owes a lot to these.

For whatever reason, almost certainly after their death, their music will live on. There are many, many, musicians who’re no longer around and who may have played or performed across various genres but together they have influenced and will continue to influence thousands and continue to please millions of fans.

This post is a token of my appreciation.

I guess simply put, I thank you all for the music and for what you did.

MG MGF Update 1 – List of things to do…

For all those that don’t know – you may want to have a quick read over the following post which will bring you up to speed: https://tobywhite.de/blog/?page_id=12484

This is as much a to-do list for me as it is for you to keep up to speed with what needs doing.

It’s just flown through an MOT (to my surprise) so no panic then.

Exhaust blowing and CAT probably on way out but backbox certainly needs looking at. But only comment on MOT was that the backbox was blowing – on the backburner now then…
I would like to fit stainless coolant pipes and replace the coolant header tank (filthy as result of HGF; yes, been there and had that before I bought!)
Rust! There is a fair amount of rust on the n/s door and around window frame. I have paint so just need to destroy that rust!
Windscreen seal has had it and needs replacing
Rear bumper is cracked and needs replacing (not critical, only cosmetic)
Suspension needs pumping up!
Electrics are good!

Here’s a pic of the car up on some ramps. I attacked all obvious points with copious amounts of WD40, spray grease, and treated the hood with AutoGlym Hood Cleaner and Protector.

2012 – End of Year Roundup

In good tradition I am ending the year with a final roundup and quick wrap up before venturing out into the great outdoors for the NYE celebrations…

Another year on its way out and really what a year it has been!

I started with two goals:

To get a new job – succeeded (now working for Interweave IT, Letchworth)
To find a nice girl – succeeded

You can get anywhere if you work hard enough to achieve your goals but the main thing to do is not set yourself goals that are unobtainable.

Other things such as my exercise regime and love of cars has been maintained (with the purchase of an MG MGF for £500 due to an eBay auction not following through – will blog in early 2013).

Computers (and my Freelance work) are still going strong, and my love of music prevails. I aim to do more with my Label in 2013 as I’ve put that onto the back-burner during 2012 and let tick-over, but as always juggling several projects is a headache at times – it’s important to make time!

I also made it a priority to make more time for friends and family in 2012 and aim to continue this trend. I aim to read more too! More books, that is.

Again, and before long, I can see this becoming a lengthy spiel, so will cut short now. To everyone who may read this – all the best for the future!

Best wishes,

-Toby
