Finally took the plunge (as I had the ISK) and flew home and got myself jump-cloned.
There are now 3 of me -- 2 in cryo. And it feels odd -- will the poniez recognise my "Other Me"s ? Time will tell.
Got some scavenging done on the way back to work -- my thanks to the kind people who're blue-flagging their excess wrecks. Makes it far less tempting when you find a yellow can with something in.

Maybe NotAScam
Got a million back from Ragnar the Gallente. Posting this in (part-apology) for mentioning I'd lent him ISK.
Apparently, according to the mail he sent me, he's been out ratting and salvaging. Met up with some solid-red merchant who was stealing his loot, but didn't engage, so bad luck to the "oh look, it's a noob -- I can get him to let me blow him away" brigadier.
Poniez well. Napping lots. I seem to be in intermittent hibearnation.

Mine, mine -- it's *all* mine (all right, ours)
A day mining with Ursus -- we hit the belts before anyone else, as far as I know (certainly before the AKFT Bar was open), and gouged out kernite and scordite and other stuff.
Also managed to find a market for some ore only 5 jumps away. So we mined it, and I orca'd it to market to marker (tho' not to buy a fat ponie -- I already have enough of them).
All in all, when we split it up, we'd each made around 4 million. Plus bounties on around 10 rats that dropped in and never dropped out again. fewer than I'd expected, given it was an 0.5 system.
Have a new protegee -- a Gallente who wants to learn Assualt Ships and buy an Ishkur. Except he's no cash. So I may delve into Mal's legacy (what's left of it) and lend him some. Hope it's not a scam.

Hulkageddon note
My Hulk's staying docked, but that doesn't mean that me and the poniez are recreation-less.
Spent a week helping Carnation on a Level 3 "significant standings" mission; and yesterday I took out Mal's old salvaging ship to run the belts.
And noticed that, as soon as a ship enters a belt that just has one miner in it, the miner packs up and leaves. Which I'm putting down to the Hulk-gankers. I'm not one, but if I were flying a Hulk, I'd not even be letting a Rifter near -- a Reaper, maybe, but even that gives a "warp to" for the gank fleet.
So, lo-profile and salvaging for the present

Didn't Mine but ...
Been having a few Days Off, polishing my ships, and feeding my poniez, and exercising them when the DockMaster's not looking. So far they've only eaten one techie that I noticed.
White Carnation sent me up some training reels on Scanning, so I loaded up last night and ventured forth. Only got one (1) signature and had major trouble tracking it down; in the end it turned out to be a wormhole entrance. Which I might have tried out but it was getting late and the scanner said it didn't look like it would be there long.
But it looked *very* pretty. I tried to take a picture but it hasn't come out yet.

More Mining
Met up with Ursus again, and he Hulk-ed and I Orca-d and we ran a couple of belts low on good stuff. Also lost 2 flights of mining drones between us -- I think I'll reserve mine for 0.8 and above: I can aford to lose them, but when you've named them, and painted them up, and polished them, it's a bit hard when some NPC rat just blows them into smithereens.
No idea what we made -- we collected the stuff, we didn't actually *do* anything with it. That will come later.
Tried some scanning, but I obviously need a *lot* more practice. But according to the patch notes, they're bringing in a scanning tutorial so that will be helpful.
Not looking forward to Lock-In Day again -- the poniez are getting restive, and I'm afraid they're going to run rampanyt across the entire station. Must get in some extra cabana boys to help feed and brush them.

More Holiday
Went off to the system with the plex, and found it interesting.
Would have said challenging, but someone else was busy clearing it (and very kindly vacuumed up most of my wrecks before I could bring a salvager in -- well, a Cheetah isn't really built to take a salvager, what with the need for teeth at 2.5k). So I hit the belts (all 3 of them) and popped some rats.
But I think the place has possibilities (tho' it might have more if I werre yarr-inclined, and in a suicide-Rifter). Next thing, I think, is a proper assessment of whether the salvage is worth the time (and whether the local agents offer missions I can enjoy in the mix of ships I have)
