An important lesson to learn

While browsing around the JEMS Blogs, I came across this one which clearly shows the potential pitfalls of being a know-it-all in a profession. 
Although this focuses on the EMS profession, it does serve as a sobering reminder on how being new and eager can put one in a perilous situation.  This is something I try not to get myself involved with.

ROFLMAO!!

A headhunter comes a callin'...

Got an interesting e-mail from someone on LinkedIn about a potential opportunity.  So I contacted him, and in turn was called by a lady from a local staffing agency telling me about a opportunity for a NOC position at another major company here.  Since the salary looked enticing, I decided to send them my resume and see what happens.

Other than that, not much else going on today.  Got my laundry all finished up, ogled some nice BBW porn >;) and just relaxing.

Some start for my vacation

I spent most of my afternoon and evening at my friend's place trying to get her PC connected online.  She bought a new Dell desktop with Windows 10 on it, plus she replaced her cable modem.  After numerous tries the desktop absolutely refuses to recognize the connection, even though it pulls the correct IP address info.

I've tried flushing DNS cache and the TCP/IP stack, tested the modem with my laptop and verified it is able to get online easily.  The desktop had built-in Wi-Fi, so I turned on the hotspot on my phone and was able to connect and get online with no issues.  So at this point, my friend is gonna take the PC back to where she bought it at and see WTF is happening.

Now I can get my butt to bed and sleep.  More later...

My vacation is barely starting...

...and already am trying to figure out what to do on a limited budget.

Can go shooting, take a little drive off someplace not too far I haven't been to in awhile, visit friends in Pahrump (only an hour and change away), or just vege and catch up on reading.

Hmmm....

Interesting reading, and sobering.

Some progress

My work on the radio shack is slowly but steadily going.  Last Saturday, I was able to get the pole for the Ku-band dish set and the cable ran back to where the arrestor box will be mounted.

Now that that part is done, the next step will be getting things ready to install the HF vertical antenna.  I spotted out a couple of spots which should work decently, on the west side of the trailer so that interference is minimized.

I'll be using fiberglass tent mast sections for the support, planning on about 35-40 feet in total height.  This will take some time to scrape the money up, but once that is in place and I get power run out there, I can really get things going and start digging for the tower base.
