Re-charging My Batteries

 Solar powered  site North of Flagstaff Arizona

Outside calls me. Quite often. Loudly. OUTSIDE was actually a recent New Year's goal since I couldn't think of a better one. It worked out pretty good considering the years I spent in a cube, or a meeting room wishing to be outside. It can be an awful tease in March to see all the fans at the A's Spring Training facility from the conference room window. I am getting better at penciling in time off during those weeks. It makes for good therapy.

Starting with a long cold dark hike off a mountain north of Flagstaff in January (the vehicle had technical difficulties), the goal was quickly met over and over, throughout the year. Up mountains, over highways, through long valleys, I enjoyed every last ounce of my job to plan, build, audit, and turn up new sites for the network. So much so, that the act of getting to all of these corners of Arizona was the re-charge needed from the endless emails, software updates, and databases that needed updating. Nice work if you can get it! Now if I can just remember to keep the camera phone batteries charged up...
