What Is Jim (Sum1) Up To Today?

Clayton County, Georgia

Locale:  Jonesboro, Georgia

         My journey's this week took me to Jonesboro, Georgia.  The customer was Clayton County, where I delivered a class on portable radio maintenance.  I know most of you see the police officers with their radios on their belts, but I doubt many of you realize how much technology is involved in them.  The portable radios themselves are not too difficult, once you understand them.  But if I were to program them from scratch, there are over 4,000 fields I could edit in getting that done.  If you stop to think that they are just a small piece in the overall pie (so to speak), you might start to realize how large these large systems can be.

         I didn't do much this week to be honest.  Jonesboro is only 10 miles south of Atlanta, and I did not want to venture there in the afternoon rush hour.  So I remained south, and relaxed all I could.  Nice area, great people, but I was saving myself for next week, when I'll be in the Puget Sound area. 

         It's summer out.  Storms are blowing everywhere, water is high due to flooding, so be careful.  I don't want to lose any of you due to errors in where you're at.  Til next time....
