I travel the country on business, sometimes the world. Come see where I've been.

Schaumburg, Second Time 'Round....
Locale: Schaumburg, Illinois

Week of: 11/7/22

         This past week I've been in Schaumburg delivering a more Advanced Networking Class.  Well, it's not that much more advanced.  The basic class teaches students the subject of IP Addressing, how TCP works, what a switch and router are and how to configure each,  as well as backing up and restoring each.  This week's class teaches them just about the same subject, except the discussion is centered around their operation in our radio systems.  Plus, in the basic class, an older Cisco router is used.  In this one, we use a Motorola Router, and soon, a Juniper Router.  So same subject in some ways, but we cover the material in a more in-depth manner.

         It was a fun class, even if I did get the impression that someone was 'taking' cables they shouldn't (my impression was wrong), or that someone had taken one of my USB drives (again, I was wrong).  I really enjoy delivering each of these classes and try to impart that feeling to my students.  With three and a half days of all hands-on activities in this class, it's a fun class to deliver.  If you don't mind doing the hands-on activities yourself.  I enjoy doing those activities which makes it all the more fun.

Noteworthy Restaurants:

         Buffalo Wild Wings          https://www.buffalowildwings.com/menu/          If you've read any entries in this blog at all, you know I typically do not dine at a National Chain restaurant.  I sort of make an exception when in Schaumburg, because having lived here for 15 years, it's like being home.  NOT!  Okay, it's a place I'm quite familiar with, and at times I make an exception.  Let's leave it at that.  This particular night I was in the mood for Wings.  But I didn't have them.  Why?  Because I found they have a Green Chile Cheeseburger!  *Smile*  They label theirs as a Bacon Smashed Hatch Chile Burger.  This was a no-brainer in my eyes.  And as fate would have it, I ordered an appetizer, the Hatch Queso.  You can never have too much Hatch Chile if you ask me.

         Fat Rosie's Taco & Tequila Bar          https://media-cdn.getbento.com/accounts/b4b148424bd38e72d3c74dc5c074a855/media/FeX9P0J7SbCDdAYMbAma_FatRosies_L_Dinner_11x17_08192022B.pdf          It was Taco Tuesday, that's what I wanted.  Where else should I go besides here?  It was good, not spectacular.  Fa Rosie's Queso Dip and a couple of Taco's, plus a nice Margarita set me up well. 


In Closing


         I will be in Madison Wisconsin next week, then celebrate Thanksgiving the following week.  Only two more weeks of delivery this year before having three weeks off for Christmas/New Years.  Then it starts all over for me.  Til next time, be good to yourselves and those you love, and WRITE!
