Well,
Went out today, first on my Yarga 13m. Was probably 19knots gusting 25 and climbing.
Was ok for a while, then I broke my Board leash. seriously big gusts coming through at this stage. So I then came in and put up my 9mYarga.
Wind ended up being 25+ knots gusting 35+ bad bad bad!
Anyway, Managed to do a back roll. (And i think a kiteloop, cant confirm that tho)
Landed it too 
hehehehe
Half the world does it, so why can’t we take a mid-afternoon nap when we feel like it?

You know the feeling. It’s mid-afternoon; you partied hard last night, your screen is moving in and out of focus and you’re so sleepy you risk waking up in a pool of drool with QWERTYUIOP imprinted on your forehead.
You’d kill for a few minutes’ sleep, but instead you reach for your third can of Red Bull or start sticking paperclips in your thighs just to stay awake.
But what’s so wrong about succumbing to that universal urge to grab a quick sleep in the middle of the day?
Nothing at all, according to growing evidence that shows a quick nap is just what you need to shake off that drowsy afternoon deadspot.

Must say, I would love to be back at a place that has a chill out room/library. Where you can go and ZZZzzZZ
The weekend just been has begun my progression into boosting jumps & transitions (using the kite to lift you off the water, a transition being a change of riding direction on landing). Anyone that saw me at the beach and in fact for the entire weekend found the size of my permanent grin quite disturbing. 
I was managing to land 50% of the jumps, not bad considering the wind was really gusty 20+knots and I was out on my 13m Yarga.
I also finally got some kiting sunnies. Absolutely love them, they stop the spray 95% of the time and its great I didn’t even have inflamed eyes after 2 full days at the beach.
Talked to another kiter, whos had multiple ‘insert here - name for growth on eye from excess sun’ removed. He can still see which is positive for me.
The rich are getting richer while the poor remain poor. If you doubt it, ponder these numbers from the US, a country widely considered meritocratic, where talent and hard work are thought to be enough to propel anyone through the ranks of the rich. In 1979, the top 1% of the US population earned, on average, 33.1 times as much as the lowest 20%. In 2000, this multiplier had grown to 88.5. If inequality is growing in the US, what does this mean for other countries?
Pareto’s law
In 1897, a Paris-born engineer named Vilfredo Pareto showed that the distribution of wealth in Europe followed a simple power-law pattern, which essentially meant that the extremely rich hogged most of a nation’s wealth (New Scientist print edition, 19 August 2000). Economists later realised that this law applied to just the very rich, and not necessarily to how wealth was distributed among the rest.
Now it seems that while the rich have Pareto’s law to thank, the vast majority of people are governed by a completely different law. Physicist Victor Yakovenko of the University of Maryland in College Park, US, and his colleagues analysed income data from the US Internal Revenue Service from 1983 to 2001.
They found that while the income distribution among the super-wealthy - about 3% of the population - does follow Pareto’s law, incomes for the remaining 97% fitted a different curve - one that also describes the spread of energies of atoms in a gas
Finally uploaded the remaining roadtrip pictures…

And to rub salt in the wound, I turned my camera on again when I got back to sydney, and it works again. Ropable. So many cool things/people/places not snapped. Sigh. I will just have to do it all again.
Well I have now secured a new Job.
Professional Services/Account Manager for a large Network Management company.
No recruiters were used/harmed/paid in the scoring of this job.
Looks like I will be getting around a bit as well. I will be covering Australia/NZ.
