SSAB - September 11, 2026

End of week and end of my time in Canada! I can’t believe it’s over and… I can’t believe I couldn’t get it to work.

Packing almost done, next up, getting stuff ready to sit for another year. When will I come back?

Another recording done! Let it Crash! Or something like that.

And are you ready to get back to Beijing? Back to China?
