I always enjoy stories about your career. Sounds like you have enjoyed a lot of widely varied and challenging adventures in your corporate life, just as I have. Keep 'em coming!bill_g wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2024 11:34 am The LIRR is one of my success stories.
It's the 1990's. Telecom and communications companies were thriving. Our company had a strong presence in the west coast public safety market, but very little in the utilities and transportation markets. We also wanted a national presence. My task was to find something, and make a foothold in it. We're meat eaters. Go out, kill something, and bring it home. So I was taking on contracts** in Boston, Chicago, Birmingham, St louis, San Francisco, and closer to home Seattle.
Thanks John. I'm trying not to be "that guy", but as I'm crushing 71, I'm becoming the old guy with stories of the past. It was a blast though. Loved it. I had no idea this is where I would go when I granulated with a double E in 79. Not a clue. I was supposed to design cars, and engines, and I ended up in the Eastern Oregon desert designing a telephone system, digging holes and filling them with concrete. I was a ditch digger with a degree.

We have a fancy one that does cubed, crushed and shaved ice. We've never hooked it up to a water source so we just dump bagged ice in the hopper and go from there.bill_g wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2024 1:12 pm Crawling under the house to turn on the ice maker water must have been a blast. I put mine in the cupboard under the sink. It's in the back, but easier to reach than under the house.
Mrs insisted on an ice maker on the last fridge purchase some ten years or more ago. She loved it. And then the novelty wore off. I had to regularly empty the ice bucket in the freezer to force it to make fresh keeping the water in the line from going stagnant.
I like that idea.sugar magnolia wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2024 1:20 pm We have a fancy one that does cubed, crushed and shaved ice. We've never hooked it up to a water source so we just dump bagged ice in the hopper and go from there.
