End of 2016 Update

So it's been a while since I've posted an update.  Apologies to my regular readers...

Here is a point form update:

• Work and life are very busy (so no change there);
• I'm not sure what I think about Fitbit buying Pebble (I don't remember an acquisition like this ever going well);
• The finches are doing well, the Painteds seem happy and are breeding, the Zebras perhaps a little too happy...;
• Bird watching has taken a bit of a hit (closely related to amount of free time available unfortunately);
• Using a 1975 Mini Clubman as a daily driver seems to be going well (after the clutch was replaced).
