 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 toio 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 |
Relaxing Sunday I haven't done a lot today, other than pull a few weeds around our Crabapple tree. I did make a mistake though in doing this. I didn't have an 'escape plan', I mean a plan to get up from my hands and knees. It took a bit, but I finally managed it of course. The problem was my arms were tired, I was on my hands & knees, and had trouble standing. I was scooting to the curb when I finally managed to stand. We've decided to grill brats tonight. We should be eating somewhere between 6 & 8 pm, if you're hungry, drop on by! A simple dinner really. Coleslaw, Brats, Wine or Mixed Drink of choice,whatever our minds choose. Maybe some pickles, and pickled Okra on the side. Depends on how hungry we are. I made a simple breakfast this morning too. Toasted Bagel with Fried egg and cheese. I put both buter and cream cheese on mine. Yummy! My mind is all over the place today. Right now, I feel a nap coming on. I apologize for the short entry, and lack of interesting material to read. I'll do better in my next entry. Love those who love and support you, and Write! Jim |
