This morning I woke really missing my GMC friends more than usual. The
coach is covered in 15" of snow (more is falling), the tires are aged out,
and I removed another mouse carcass only last week. But I have committed to
myself to make Bean Station this year. No projects (at least, no planned
projects)--I want to help and watch others have fun. It seems Ken is doing
a one-ton install, and I want to see that. And I'd love to sit around and
catch up. I promise not to wire a battery backwards three days before the
trip.
I have not yet figured out how to become one of those lazy federal
employees we keep reading about (and, admittedly, I do know a few but truly
only a few). I made 40 trips last year, spending about 3/4 of my work time
on the road, helping state and local transportation agencies improve their
effectiveness. It's satisfying but exhausting, and I still have a couple
hours of administrivia every evening when traveling. And it means I'm
carrying a gubmint computer with limited access to Internet play. Thus, I
have to do stuff like this on my iPhone or iPad.
And the Gmail app is just painful.
But I still miss you guys and hopefully I'll see some of you in Tennessee.
So, has registration for Bean Station come out yet? I didn't see anything
on the Dixielanders page or in the last newsletter.
