I have finally finished work and have 2 weeks of holidays. After 4 years me and the mrs are finally returning to New York. The place that we got married! I don’t think I have looked forward to a holiday quite as much as this one. Due to my going away the next weekly competition will be drawn on 22nd February.
Yesterday I got the mining itch. It had been a while since i’d done any mining seriously so I set out in search of minerals. After a disappointing start I started discussing mining with an in game friend of mine. After reading what he had to say (which made a lot of sense) I decided to change my rtactics some what. Shortly after I hit a strange signal! It was only 50ped robot res but was my first mining global in a while. Unfortunately I forgot to take screenshots and only snagged this one after reviving.
I continued mining for a bit longer then gave it up for the night. Today when I woke up I fancied trying my luck up on CND. I have always done spectacularly poorly up on CND but was hoping for a change of fortune this time. Well it didn’t happen. Out of 100 bombs I hit 1 ample iron find. Whilst waiting for my flight down to get it’s full compliment of passengers I grabbed the tt enmatter finder and set out wasting a few probes. In 37 Probes I hit 3 amples and 1 small find. I found this a little ironic and a little crazy. Anyway once on the ground I set out testing my new mining strategy during the course of which I was being attacked by a corn old. With my trusty tt melee weapon I set about defending myself. 1 Hit short of killing this beast it killed me. I took the decision to tp back and finish it off. Boy am I glad I did since it held this
A little later on I also hit a 117ped Lyst.
Maybe MA was paying me back for what I lost on CND...
