The Story of Life
On the first day, God created the dog and said, “Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.”
The dog said, “That’s a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I’ll give you back the other ten?”
It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted anything of substance. Call it busy with life, or just plane ol’ lazy. I really don’t know where to start.
When the Oil Marked took a downturn, my contract was pulled. Had to get my gear back from Omah, and not all of it was returned. I guess Omani customs went through it and decided what could leave the country and what could not. Or maybe is was someone at Oxy. Doesn’t matter really.

I gotta ask….
Those of you that live in Houston and read this, answer me this question.
What possessed you to slow down to 35 (and slower) when going through the toll lanes on the Sam Houston Toll Road?
Seriously! Every morning when I travel from my home to work, a total of about 8 miles, I travel the toll road. No matter which lane I am in, all lanes slow down when going through the toll plaza, It’s not like we have to pay as we go, since covid came, it’s been ‘just drive on through, we will send you a bill’. You can go the posted speed of 65 and still get a bill in the mail.
Get with it people! Go the frickin’ speed limit!
So, when I came home for good and the company sent me around on odd jobs it was like a new place every week.
I went to several places for small jobs around the Houston area, got put on a longer term job designing and installing a control system for replacement of outdated equipment at a milk plant here in Houston.
Later on, I ended up in San Antonio working on the same companies yogurt plant, replacing the outdated controls there.
Spent time in Pennsylvania at a pharmaceutical plant doing FDA checkout. Of course it was in the dead of winter as well.
North Carolina at a Navy fuel depot, doing a checkout of the valve control.
There are a couple other places, but I’ll save them for the next post.
Cheers!
Before work.
Finished project for class yesterday (finally). Started the next class. Cloud Foundations.
Yep, I’m back in college, but more on that later
Continue readingI’ve gotten the categories done, all old posts converted, the layout leave something to be desired though.
Adding my other links and will start filling in the gaps from 2012 to now. Still not going to be interesting though.
I’m not completely convinced that I want to keep this theme. I think there are some great themes out there, but I’ve not found one that I want. Good thing about WordPress is I can change the theme and not have to lose any of my posts.
I’ve finally done it. I converted my blog over to WordPress. Seems like it took forever.
The main reason is Movable Type upgraded it’s platform and I didn’t want to bo through the hassle of upgrading the app on my server. WordPress does that for you.
I still need to set up a few things and re-route my old blog to the new blog. Wish me luck on that.
I’m going to try to blog more often and there will be some catching up to do from over the years.
