Good evening, Marine...((HUGS))...working alone can be a good thing.

All is well with you? The knee doing well?

[mylife]

It’s not so bad.

“My Workspace....”

Some people lead the life of luxury, even at work, while the rest of us have to toil in the pits.

You know!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Permission Granted!

[Randy Larsen]

Not anymore.

This retirement stuff has a way of makin’ ya lazy.

Gettin’ ready to sight all my protection in to the gnat’s a$$!

[luvie]

Well, Mr. Avery started with one piece. :) All it takes is
luck and persistence and luck. Did I mention luck?...and talent..LOTS of that.:)

[ConorMacNessa]

YOU ARE ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF ECLECTIC OFFICE DESIGN!

You are not organized in the normally understood sense of the word. Your Neandertal genes account for that. You’re on a different warp than the so-called Office Gurus.

You work at a pace few can match, let alone surpass!

You glory in your work – You’re habitually full-bore and balls to the wall. At the same time, you are able to step back, smell the roses, and make valuable time for your family.

You are an epicurean – you take great pleasure in the finer things in life – you are nothing if not a Sybarite!

You don't switch careers – you’re in for the duration. You’d rather die in the saddle than in your bed!

Arbeit Macht Frei!!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[mylife]

I did not realize you had retired.

Good for you for getting in under the wire.
Best regards, and Best wishes.

[luvie]

He provides a really lovely setting that makes it easy to
enjoy showing the beautiful things his design team makes.

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks very much, Kathy!

*HUGS*

And thanks very much for tonight's quiz and thread! I had to pick up No. 3 son at work, so I was delayed this evening.

"...very interesting “things”..."

Most of the "things" I work on are transmitters, receivers, modems, up/down converters, working with spectrum analyzers, data test sets and a dozen more pieces of electronic equipment, but those 'outside toys' - the antennas are quite a different kettle of fish.

Thankfully I don't have to 'fix' them. All I have to do is keep them tracking the satellites accurately. I used to do all of the yearly routines, oiling, greasing, and general maintenance. But I've passed that on to my new trainee. ~grin~

Items of interest about the 'big ones' - they are 32 meter antennas - about 105 across the face, and since they are sitting on top of about a 2 story building, the top edge is about 11 'stories' up there.

They weigh about 150 tons each, and are some of the most 'powerful' in terms of gain.. 64dB of gain built in. Hence they need very little power to operate - the opposite of what most people think.

They use about 3 watts of power - about what it takes to operate those small night-lights we plug into sockets in the bathroom and bedrooms at night.

"I’ll bet you’re good at it, too! :)"

Sometimes I get stumped for a while... you'd think I would have 'seen it all' by now, but just this week we've run across a problem that is 'brand new' (we thought) - but, then we found a common error that fixed it!

[2111USMC]

Yep, knee is o-k. (Still need the brace when I do outdoor hikes, hills, etc. Probably always will.)

But, overall, life is good. The blessings far outnumber the negatives.

[SandRat]

What does it say?

I’m Retired!

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

I am aware of that. Our wedding rings are Avery. :-)

"All it takes is luck and persistence and luck. Did I mention luck?...and talent..LOTS of that."

LOL - that too! I'm moving all my jewelry equipment to AZ, and hope to get out there working at the 'bench' quite a bit more frequently. I still have several boxes of uncut real gem quality very hard turquoise - gonna have some real fun working it into gold mounts - can hardly wait.

Good evening, Luv...((HUGS))

My favorite, and worn everyday, necklace. My THANKS to a FRiend.

Cool work place.

Sent from my iPad so I can see the pictures.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Still working, but that would be me...I know where all my stuff is.

Glad you are doing well and know where most of your stuff is.
