What the heck am I doing today? Shenanigans, General Tomfoolery or What? You never know |

Talk about perks, my career had one of the best I can think of! I traveled in the course of business, delivering classes for my employer. I was a Senior Training Specialist for Motorola Solutions, and taught classes on a wide variety of subjects centered around 2-way radio communications. I knew that when the time arrived that I would retire, and I have. I've always said that if you can't stand the heat in the kitchen, get out! I can't handle the heat anymore. I was qualified to deliver approximately 32 different classes, but about half of those were 'Legacy' classes, and were not in demand anymore. My students were technicians, those who maintained, programmed, calibrated, and repaired large 2-way radio systems. Some of these systems are statewide, and use TCP-IP networking to allow sites to communicate with others. Some are small, traditional type radio sites. The size doesn't matter, in each case the systems must be kept operational at all times, since many of them are Public Safety Systems. So I traveled, sometimes frequently, 3-4 weeks in a row.... where have I been? Some of the places I've been (I can't list them all here, the list would be too long) are pretty interesting. 1. Hawaii - Four times, Oahu, Maui (twice), and the Big Island, Plus I lived on Oahu from 74-83. 2. Bangkok Thailand, twice 3. Frankfurt Germany, twice 4. Algiers, Algeria 5. Melbourne Australia 6. Bismarck North Dakota, Summer & Winter 7. California, especially the Los Angeles area, Too many times to count 8. Washington DC, Too many times to count 9. Seattle three or four times 10. Texas, all over the state 11. Florida, all over the state 12. New Mexico, HOME! Several times |
Dinner Last Night Well, the Sushi Bake was cancelled last night because a certain person (not me!) took at nap at 3:30 or so and slept until almost Seven! I knew we wouldn't be having it when she started her nap, so I made it today. I have to say I Loved it! I think it's a redo for us too. This might be a tad spicy for her since you drizzle Sriracha on top after it's baked. If it is, that just means there's more for me! About last night's dinner.... I ended up going to Pizza Ranch and picked up an order of Pizza, Dark Meat Chicken, Mashed Potatoes && Gravy. Why? I somehow mentioned Fried Chicken (her weakness), so that was the result. It's okay though, the Sushi Bake was still good 15 hours later. Freshly made, no preservatives & such. A little Sriracha for a little heat, Kewpie Mayo and Spicy Mayo, Sesame Seeds, Salmon, Surimi (Imatation Crab Meat), and fresh cooked Rice. Plus whatever the recipe called for. It's a dish I think a lot of people would like (love), except it's cooked Salmon, not Raw. Serving it with sheets of Seaweed is excellent too |
