    2023 Week 28/29 – Catching Up

    What’s Going On:It’s been busy around the IndyScan household these past 2 weeks. I’m continuing to study & take practice exams for the Amateur Rario license upgrade. It’s all starting to click, and I need to get a better handle on the electronic theory to pass the 35-question exam successfully. What I’m Eating:A number of…

    What’s Going On:*Warning* This will be a LONG post covering a week-long trip with lots of links, photos, and me rambling on for a while. It was nice to return to a 3-day weekend after a week on the road last week (more on that later). Besides getting the tent out to dry off, I…

    2023 Week 19 – Giddy Up

    I had a pretty good week last week. I was only in the office for two days as I took advantage of two work-from-home days and attended a conference at the NCAA Hall of Fame. The HoF facility is very nice and full of sports history. I left the conference full of ideas related to…

    2023 Week 14 – #83: Go on, take the last bite

    One of the nice things about switching jobs is that fresh new email address that only your coworkers know.

    2023 Week 10 – IND #1 Again!

    After dealing with a back issue for the past 2 weeks, I *think* I’m finally on the mend. At least I could get out of bed easier this morning. I’m sitting way too much during the day, and I think I need a new desk chair at home. Do you have any suggestions for a…

    Welcome to 2023! I hope everyone had a nice New Year’s weekend and returned to the office with a new spark, ready to tackle what 2023 has to offer. I was off work for 2 solid weeks and was ready to hit the ground running when we all came back into the office last Tuesday.…

    Where do we begin? 2022 was a wild year, full of food, tech, travel, and fun. The site stats continue to improve, with an average traffic rate of just over 5000 page views per month.
