Are you talking about breathing after all those exercises they make you do?

Excercise?
What, pray, is exercise?
Good afternoon, Carol!
Happy Christmas Eve! ,

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Did he arrive and or on time?

No, he didn't show up.
Or call.
He's a science teacher and often doesn't turn up for school; either.

Hello and welcome back! It’s lovely to not see you! Happy new year

@spud’s_mum take a look at your email settings and see if you can nominate some as a rescue account. You can definitely do this in gmail and the other providers probably do it too. We have this set up in our family “just in case”. I have bailed out my daughter more than once!

Good morning, Linda!
Happy Christmas Eve!

G’day all. Like a broken record stuck in the same groove here in Maryland. Very cold....very dark.....very windy....and everything is all very frozen solid. Washington’s Potomac River is frozen, and tributaries to the great Chesapeake Bay..frozen too. Car batteries are dead, pipes are bursting, the only topic on the “news” is the weather. Hello Polar Vortex. Goodbye Global Warming?

Global warming theory predicts this. Brings extreme weather but the worldwide annual temperatures will be up.
Good morning, Mark!
Talking of broken records :
Happy Christmas Eve!

See you later

Hope so!
Good afternoon, Sabine!
Snappy Christmas Eve!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Busy preparing for Christmas again.
Am quite tired of it all, actually.

Over 2000 nuclear bomb testings on the planet did not help things either. There is so much more carbon 14 in the atmosphere now than there has ever been before that carbon dating for anything in the future past the nuclear revolution cannot be done.

I don't feel like doing anything today. Do I have your permission to sit around and do nothing?

I'm working all weekend this week. So no day off for me.
At least it's good pay.

The pay is the ONLY thing I miss about work. For a few years after I retired I hired back on as a contractor, doing basically the same job I did before I retired. I liked the job, enjoyed the detective aspect of it (trying to find the telephone poles on our records) and was darned good at it, but once I retired and got busy with my own life, I never could understand how I got it all done when I spent most of my day at work. Yeah, I DO miss that extra $$$

I don't know if I will ever be able to really retire. Lol

Work is the only thing that keeps me sane.

I make roller in a manufacturing plant right now. But when I finish my school in the fall i can start working on planes.

At the time of my retirement I was the Joint Pole Engineer at AT&T. I worked with the power company to keep the outside plant in good shape. Had to figure out the strength/weight,etc of the cables and would the poles support that, etc. there was a lot of time spent in the field, but my most enjoyable part of the job was trying to get the records figured out and corrected. Believe it or not, every single pole out there has an identity, and we're able to find them all on our records.

That's interesting. I know where I live they gave been replacing poles. Some of them where leaning and old. The new ones that they put up are much heavier duity poles. Thicker and taller.

Great time to visit Washington DC - no crowds, no tourists, no lines...

 

[DE42]

My career goals are to continue my education after I get in the aviation industry and move up in the ranks of the company. Either into engineering or management. Maybe engineering management lol.

Interesting job...you mean I should stop peeling off those metallic numbers neatly nailed into the telephone poles here?
