That sure explains the label printer.

Sure explains why NOT to volunteer ;-)

Nah, true volunteering includes sacrifice. OTOH you get first dibs with
those cookies. My preference are the mint cookie with dark chocolate cover.

I like them and the Samoa's ;-)

But I find I eat less and less sweets as I age... just an occasional
piece of chocolate (or fudge ;-)

If your wife wasn't busy with her volunteer work she might decide to
spend more time keeping you in line!

Tell me about it. My wife isn't working since we moved and doesn't
want to look because we're not planning on staying here for more
than another six months or so. Who knows though, if there's work
to be done we may stay for a long time (since we finally made it
out of weenie-land).

NE OH. It's a lot cheaper than VT, though a lot more "big-city".
When asked about the size of the city, I reply "five Walmarts, five
Home Despots, and four Lowes". There are two, two, and zero in the
whole state of VT. ;-)

Well, we made it 2/3rds of the way to KY. There is a *lot* more
work here too. ;-)

I've been talking with a head-hunter about a job in that area.

they're paying me the big money for all the hours I can work, I'll
stay. ...well for a while. ;-)

Only after 30+ years in Ohio. At that time there was no electronics
work in the area. Months between job postings. A freind who was an EE
ended up serviceing lotto machines for the state of Ohio. i was hired
as a broadcast engineer as soon as I hit Florida. It was my first, and
only application after moving south. I was hired before I had time to
apply anywhere else.

Good luck in ohio. I hope things have improved in the last 20
years. the last job offer I had in Ohio was at Ch 45 (WRGT-TV) in
Dayton for Chief Engineer. I took one look at the place and walked out.

Things seem to have changed, big time. Of course everything is
electronics today. I've been getting calls from a company that
makes *big* welders. Of course I made an ass out of myself by
asking why they were looking for me (FPGA, embedded controller
hardware type). Well, I have been asked to look at some *strange*
openings.

I doubt that we'll stay long though, although SWMBO is going house
shopping this week. It seems the housing "bubble" has hit here
hard.

It's OK, but I'd like to be a little closer to my mother (94) so we
could get over to see her a little more often. It's only a 6-1/2
hour drive (down from 16 when we were in VT) from here, but half
that would be much nicer.

Big?

Many years ago (60s), a friend worked for GE making SCRs.

Their biggest customer was another division of GE, the one
that made railroad locomotives.

I know what you mean. My mom has been gone over 20 years from cancer
but my dad lives next door, so I can check on him every day.

Things are changing here, too. Sunair http://sunairholdingsllc.com/
recently moved to the area, and new home construction is down so much
that the county laid off 35 people in their building inspection
department. With the drought conditions, we don't need more new homes
and people to make the situation worse.
