thoughts from the "home base"
Doesn't seem I ever get to type much here. I actually Have work!!!!! A buddy if mine is a Millwright and We have been doing projects for the last 6 months or so. It's nice to have a fairly steady income. And a actual Schedule. We have been doing some projects for different companies in our area. An automated Chopping machine for a plastics plant. A cooling tank for another. We did some rigging at a manufacturing facility a few towns over. Did some welding on the top of a Brownstone in Boston... That was strange... The top of those buildings are a different world. I have pictures someplace of patios on top of buildings, Small buildings on top of others. With trees and grass!!!!! I would much rather live further out west, or even better, more to the north, Like Maine or New Hampshire...
Milly and I are checking the Real estate listings hoping to find an older house that we can perhaps afford... where I can set up my shop again and start doing my own projects, and maybe some for people who might actually pay me. That would be nice.
It would also be nice to be able to let Louie run amuck without fear of some loser in an expensive car on the way to some Important event, Squishing him.
I put together some money and am looking at a laptop and a docking station for my van... so I can use it to run a mapping program and do email and stuff from the many WIFI sites near me... I am also considering trimming my "home" setup down... Now I have three CPU's , two 21 inch old heavy monitors two keyboards, Related KVM switches, and other stuff. The laptop guy says I can use my laptop on my "home" network with a port or two on my KVM switch... I got two cases that are the same with two bigger power supplies, of my best motherboards With 1 gig processors, And I hope to have my bench down to two CPU's Next stop flat panel monitors... that can run on 12 volts... Then later some of them newfangled ITX motherboards that are single voltage... for moving back into an RV, This fixed address stuff is for the birds.
