Day 161 - Tourier

Sitting in Tourier VI -13 Republic Security Services for most of today, just returned from a quick Shuttle to Rens to drop off an implant for Skrathis. But now I'm sitting reading my mail with a Quafe Ultra. Received a batch of market reports from Belynda d'Ane, a Minmatar sang-portolan, (I will at some future point I'm sure, explain more about Bel, but all that needs to be written at this moment is this - although she is a free person, thanks to the action taken by my family over 100 years ago against the Amarr, she, like all her other family members since that time, offers sang-faveur to my existing family). The information Bel garners for me from all the different region markets she travels through is invaluable, and has saved me, as well as earned me, a whole bunch of ISK. Without this continual flow of regional market data, I would prolly be hacking away at rocks in some backwater, rat-infested, dead-end system for years on end.

Silicon and Water. Not great, but that's my main commodities this cycle. Astral Mining seem to churn it out on a continual basis these days, as well as allowing their agents to line the pockets of the freelancers, couriers and wanna-be gunslingers, as mission rewards. An oxymoron if I ever heard one - "go do all this dirty work we can't be bothered to do ourselves, and we'll give you some of this waste product from our mining operations, that we can't sell". But these wet behind the ears academy graduates would accept a tickle under the chin if they thought they were helping the Federation.

Silicon 13,321; Water 26,197; Seems the idiot buying Water region-wide from Cistuvaert for more than double what I've been offering has decided to pull out the market. Hope he enjoys collecting it all up. I should start getting some decent quantities again for the rest of the week. Nearly 2 hauls of Silicon so far; should be a busy and productive end of the week.

Production inform me that my jobs have completed. So an ammo run to Alentene and Luse to drop off some stocks and then set up the sell orders again. Same old, same old. *Note to self: Must train Supply Chain Management soon!

Six days left on Electronics training, and then I hit the R&D guy in Vay. Should be interesting.
