 Being Retired now, I thought that it was time for a new name to this Blog |
|
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 2. BangkokThailand, twice 3. Frankfurt Germany, twice 4. Algiers, Algeria 5. Melbourne Australia 6. Bismarck North Dakota, Summer & Winter 7. Los Angeles, 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  Best Cultural And Regional Honorable Mention |
Heading To Springfield, Missouri Today we head for Springfield, Missouri in our Campervan. With everything 'major' done now, I feel it's ours... finally. Why Springfield? That's where the Akita National Specialty Dog Show is. It will be held there the next 3 years. I was never into shows like this, of any type. You know. Dog Shows, Cat Shows, Male of Female Body Building, etc. She was raised around Dogs, her and her Mother frequented these shows. I am just 'along for the ride'.  While there we'll have to revisit some of the places we were at over 20 years ago. Lambert's Cafe, Mythos Greek Restaurant (in Joplin), maybe even Silver Dollar City. Silver Dollar City is a bit expensive to enter though, we'll see if we go or not. Springfield is a nice place, plus it's out of Illinois. I could live there, and I know she loves Missouri, even if she does call it 'Misery' as a joke. I will still be on daily, completing the daily tasks might be difficult. We'll see how many daily tasks I'm able to complete. Either way, I'm always around. I will leave you with a link to one of those video's that Schnujo's now Cujo -- Run!   loved.

Non-interchangeable parts - now there's a surprise. There are times you can't interchange parts for two editions of the exact same car that vary "only" by model year.
