Memory, memory, now where did I put it?

Good lord I had quite forgotten about this Journal and only stumbled upon it whilest looking for something else. Well it is a long time since I have written anything here so I shall endeavor to try again.
For some time now I have quite lost my steam, it has been at a low ebb and little has been able to stir it up again. I am currently trying to work out how I might accomplish a re-stoking of the boiler and the building up of a good head of steam, but not getting very far. If anyone has any suggestions please let mw know, thank you.
I briefly ran a roleplaying adventure based upon my conversion of 'Space 1889' but it did not get very far. I am afraid the conversion was rather incomplete and various other things got in the way and it ended before the adventure was finished. Still, it was a test and I realised the whilest it is quite do-able it does need more work and a good group.
I am writing a post apocalyptic steampunk story which was doing well at a thousand words a day until I fell ill for two weeks and now I am having problems re-starting. I shall do so though.
I feel I need more in the way of outfitting, and perhaps somewhere to go with other SteamPunks, but getting anything made (as I am not the best sewer and my dear wife is frequently not up to the task) is unlikely and all the days out I only seem to find out about too late. Oh well, must keep trying.
I made a leather and brass 'cyber' enhancement for the hand, supposedly to animate an otherwise necrotic hand, for Halloween. I shall try to place a picture up. I also intend to obtain one of the Maverick Nerf guns for conversion.
Well, that will do for now.
