I went up to "T" Site today. "T" Site stands for "T" Site of all things. It is a restricted area. There is quite a bit of alphabet soup around here. I had to escort the AFRTS folks and fix a problem with one of the field party repeater audio lines. We had to do a little 4-wheeling through some snow to get up there. I drive very cautiously in these area (actually all areas). There are switch backs going up the hills and of course they are covered with ice, no guardrails and it is a quick trip down to the sea ice if you slide off the road. My boss is absolutely fearless I think. My driving did not phase him at all. I had some fun with some 2.4 GHz equipment today at work.

I have my sea ice training Monday it appears. I am looking forward to it.

I am settling in and finding the natural time efficiencies in getting things done at work and outside of work. Tommorow is Sunday, the day off. I am planning on going to the library and exercising.

The truck is the shop's truck. That is the one I get to drive. The other pic is near Bldg 70 (one of the small shelters) up at T-site of a couple of the many towers we use. Most of towers are old HF towers that are not used anymore.

Alpaca Forum at AlpacaNation Work has been tough on me lately. I am jam packed with meetings all day tommorrow. I have something going on in the evening from 6:00 to 9:30 and I have to get to work early to take care of some projects. It is going to be a long day... on top of that it is my birthday. This does not sound like the way you would want to spend your birthday. I will get up at 5:30 get to work before 7:00 work to at least 5:00, drive to Owego and get home at close to 10:00 pm. Is there something in this for me? "I don't know. I really don't know." Then he asks, "Why are you doing it?" The answer is, "I don't know. I really don't know." We have talked to the vet about putting Fauna down. If my birthday wasn't jam packed with hostile meetings and other crap we would probably do it then. Life sucks right now. What we do with the body is a significant issue. It appears she should be put down with the other animals so they c

West to East and back. A busy trip for sure.

Last weekend I had a quick adventure. I flew to Tampa picked up a moving truck, got it loaded up at my Brother's and drove to Atlanta and unloaded. Then flew back to SoCal. I did manage to lose the keys to the rental truck. I decided that wasn't much fun, but I am sure I learned a valuable lesson, just not sure what it was. I also managed to take down a phone line across my driveway with the truck. Opps. We had dinner with my cousins in Huntington beach while they were out this way last week. It was a great dinner in a great place (Dukes on Huntington Beach), so much to talk about. It turns out my half-niece Marina is headed to Antarctica right now. I am very pleased she got into the program. It will be fun to watch her blog. https://www.the-strudel-is-real.com/

Plane Crash that seems close

We had a plane crash in the area over the weekend. I was very familiar with the plane and had met the individual that passed away. My partner was interviewed on the news about it. The different accounts I have heard is that he was a very capable pilot and perhaps a combination of bad luck events is the best way to describe it. Aircraft are unforgiving, especially when you are making an emergency landing on a busy road. http://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/forsyth-county-sheriffs-office-responding-to-a-plane-crash

Travel Planning with Chat GPT 3.5 Artificial Intelligence

Image
I am planning a trip to Southern Africa. I am planning on Zimbabwe, Eswatini (Swaziland), Botswanna, South Africa, Lesotho, Namibia, Mozambique and Zambia. I decided to ask Chat GPT 3.5 to help direct me in the sequence of travel. The result seems to have saved a lot of my time. Let's see how that order works out as a finish booking. I am skeptical since travel efficiency on commercial airlines has little to do with a straight line being the shortest (cheapest) distance between two points. A couple weeks back I did a co-presentation at a conference regarding AI in language translation and have been attending other events to educated myself better on AI. It is a real thing and a game changer. Executives will be able to skip over middle management more relying on the "pseudo-wisdom" of AI prompt chats. It will work. The issue will be finding executives smart enough to leverage it. A couple of things are clear with the current state of AI. It only does what you tell it an
