Things at work changed when I was migrated from doing the in-building communications to working on the data that goes into the radios used by police, fire, and EMS. We get a lot of work, but I am fairly good at it, and the stress levels are much lower.
It is like leaving a job driving a fast car on a slippery ice covered road, to working on a farm where things are not as fast-paced. The job can be boring at times, but the stress levels are much lower.
A hurricane hit Eve pretty hard and damaged the CNC machine she had there. It rained on it for three days destroying the surface and causing issues with the electronics. I offered to help her rebuild it, but she decided that she would rather start doing ceramics. She gave the machine to me.
My buddy Wolf and I drove to New Orleans to get the machine, and I have been working on it since then. It is operational, however there are a couple of tweaks I want to make before I consider it finished.
I am still working with my students, four of them have decided they wanted to have a web page, so I purchased the domains and installed them on my server. I told them they they had to create their own page, and if they didn't do anything with it, I would stop supporting it. Three of my students are making progress and have made some great accomplishments. The last person is making excuses and has done nothing so far. I am disappointed that he is not even trying.
I gave them all the tools they need to succeed... it is up to them now. Three are working hard to learn, one is complaining that it is too difficult and hard. I explained to him, this is why people can charge $5000 to create a web page. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.
It is spring now, the grass, weeds, and vines will start to grow... I will need to do more yard work so that I do not get into trouble with the HOA. I honestly wish my daughter would help me. She lives here rent free... I ask for nothing. Some help would really be appreciated. I miss not having a life partner.
We had another ice storm here in Kyle Texas, not as bad as the other ones, but it did cover everything. I tried to show my students in Africa, and they asked me, "Did it turn the leaves on the trees white?" So I made another short video to show them what happened.
Hopefully that explained it to them better.
