I travel the country on business, sometimes the world. Come see where I've been. |
Locale: Laurel Maryland Week of: 1/23/23} This past week I was in :Laurel Maryland for a basic RF class with new Motorola Employees. This class covers basic RF theory, radio operation, and other RF related topics that help a person new to the RF field understand how radios work. I've taught it for 22 years now, sometimes I feel like I could deliver it blindfolded.... ![]() The highlight of this trip though, was meeting 🌸 pwheeler happy b-day WdC ![]() My trip home was a bit different from most. Class was finished at noon on Friday which is pretty usual. I headed for Reagan Airport, but knew my flight was delayed already. By the time I arrived at Reagan, my flight had been delayed even more. In fact, now it would land five minutes after my connecting flight had left! I resigned myself to the idea of spending the night in a hotel near O'Hare. You might wonder why my other half didn't come up to get me. First, it's a two hour drive which isn't that bad. But, she doesn't drive at night due to vision problems, so I was stuck it seemed. After getting through security I went to the nearest American Airlines Customer Service Desk. I asked about earlier flights, and to my surprise she said there was a flight leaving very soon, and assigned me to a seat on it! I got on board, and the cabin door was closed behind me while I was walking through the first class area to my seat. My Guardian Travel Angel was watching over me, as they have on numerous occasions. Because of catching this earlier flight I was able to have dinner at O'Hare. Noteworthy Restaurants: Mango's Grill Restaurant http://mangosgrillrestaurant.com/ The menu for this place really called me. I had their Pupusas for an appetizer. A typical Salvadorian homemade corn tortilla stuffed with Pork & Cheese. For my dinner, I chose their Patron Platter which had a Cheese chile relleno, chicken enchilada & pork tamale. Needless to say i had leftovers which I saved for lunch the next day. Kabu Japanese Steakhouse https://kabu-japanesesteakhouse.com/our-menus/ This place was next door to Mango's, going there was a no-brainer. I had their Shrimp Shumai as an appetizer, and two Sushi Rolls for dinner,. I chose their Out-Of-Control-Roll, and Godzilla Roll. Both were excellent and fit the bill that night perfectly! In Closing This week, I am in Colorado Springs delivering a class on one of our newer radios. I will write about this trip later once things are done. Until my next entry stay safe, be good, be healthy, and take care of those you love! Jim Dorrell |
