Boring diary time...grabbing the odd hour-here-and-there to log in. Had a lot of fun staging out of Thera and flying around null-sec running sites. Made about 40million in an hour or two to sell back to Signal-Cartel's buyback scheme.
Then I (along with everyone else!) gained a load of extra free skillpoints. With Caldari Destroyer 5 finished a few days before, and a clone-jump to Amarr, I was instantly able to get three levels of Caldari Tactical Destroyer into my mind.
I fitted out something for high-sec combat exploration and went looking for adventure.

While there were some rats to shoot, most of the time I'd get to a site to see an Astero or Navy Slicer fly past, already in the throes of completing it.
I did say hi in local, but everyone seemed so focus on their ratting that my presence went mostly unnoticed.
Later a corp-mate was looking for someone to help run SOE missions, so about 15 minutes of jumps let to 30 minutes of level 2 mission running. It was great fun to be in a little fleet and helping someone to do something. Other people make all the difference.
Much later I found the combat-site pickings a bit thin. Instead I decided to put my Combat probes to work and start hunting out abandoned drones. After getting some advice in alliance chat, I started working the d-scanner into my hunting technique, and soon was drowning in tiny robotic friends.
