I was thinking of paying tribute to Neil Peart on 7 January 2023 (next year will be too soon to organise this) – the anniversary of his death from a glioblastoma. I plan to engineer a hauler, call it the Rocinante, put 4t of tobacco in it, take it to V1357 Cygni and crash it into the black hole of Cygni X-1. I hope to make it a charity event with any money raised going to The Glioblastoma Foundation. I have no streaming experience, and no streaming equipment. I’m hoping as many in the Elite Dangerous community can join me as possible. Maybe there’s someone who could wing up with me and stream it from their point of view? Anyway, it’s just an idea for now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

So the site is now up and running. A massive thank you to everyone who has visited so far! Especially interest from some really special people (you know who you are)! Second album is now ready too. There’s so much more I want to do with this blog, such as an article I originally wanted to send to Sagittarius Eye before they paused indefinitely (thanks guys – sheesh! ;-)) namely the “Fuel Rat Diaries” (yes, I’m a Rat too) and a Great Expedition picture diary on which I shall soon set off in my RatConda on my PC Odyssey account. Keep checking in for updates! I shall post them as soon as I can.

Well, my blog will soon be launched. Please be patient though. This is the first time I’ve ever built a website or published a blog. I’m a bit of an old duffer too so getting to grips with the site building software is taking me a lot longer than it ought. The site is really rather ropey and unimaginative at the moment but the more I add and the more I fiddle around and learn the nicer it’s going to look.

I hope.

If you’re a fan of both Rush and Elite Dangerous please feel free to comment on what ships should marry to what songs. Bear in mind, however, that I have chosen all the ships already right up until studio album number 11 (Power Windows), but after that I’m really not sure which ships should go with which songs. If you’re not a fan of either then thanks a mil for stopping by and I hope you don’t find the info terribly dull. I wouldn’t blame you if you did though to be honest.
