 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 |
Today 6/29/25 Well, today huh. The next to last day in June. For some odd reason, this John Denver song popped to mind. I loved John Denver and his music. He left us far too soon. There are plans for today, but I don't think many will come to pass. She wants to make her Ribs, with Coleslaw and another veggie for dinner. I know the ribs take a while, but right now she's napping. I made waffles with Blueberries and Peaches for breakfast. Pretty yumnmy, even if I do say so myself. If I sound bitter, I'm not. You'd have to here day in and day out to see for yourself how well she cares for me. We all have our issues, I know I have mine, that's for sure. We'll see what the day brings, huh! (I could make my ribs, but I only know one way to make them. Sweet n Sour, in a Crock Pot, without Pineapple, believe it or not. She wouldn't care for them I'm afraid. I made my Teriyaki Kabobs once, they were too sweet, so I'm afraid these might be too sweet too. Again, I'm not bitter, I only 'wish'.... Right now, I'm trying to complete the 5 Daily Tasks. I'm on a bit of a roll here, I've completed all five for over 5 weeks now. I can't break the streak, can I?  If I had something else to do today, that would take precedence. But I don't. I've been reading blogs, blogs I don't normally read. I'm surprised at the number of people here who also have Cancer of one type or another. I think I've been very lucky with mine. My organs are not under attack, I don't have tumors, things like that. In fact, I feel a little guilty that I seem to be healthy. I know I'm not, but man, on a day to day basis, I do feel good. I feel, really feel for anyone that has it worse than me. My ❤️ goes out to you. |
