2023 Week 49 – This is the Voice of America
What’s Going On:Lots of things getting in the way of blogging recently. All good, but this time of year can get very busy as we plan for the holiday festivities and try to complete outstanding projects before winter break. I’m fortunate that my company closes from Christmas to the New Year so that should give…

2023 Week 40 – Oui Oui Paris
What’s Going On:Continuing from last week, when I spent a week in Zurich for work, it was now time to work my way back home with some side trips along the way. I left Zurich HB (one of the coolest train stations I’ve ever been in), and in just over 4-hours, I stepped off the…

2023 Week 39 – Say (Swiss) Cheese!
What’s Going On:We’re getting ready for this year’s Leadership Exchange in Zurich, Switzerland. We had delegates start arriving on Saturday and planned a cruise on Lake Zurich while waiting for the final attendees to arrive (and to help people stay awake).

2023 Week 31 – River Cruising
What’s Going On:As I continue studying to upgrade my Amateur Radio license, I’ve added a couple of “stealth” antennas to the attics in my house. Unfortunately, because of my HOA, I can’t put anything on the outside of the house; I’m limited to using the attic space for the equipment. While not ideal, it’s been…

2023 Week 30 – All Along the Cairo Skywatch Tower
What’s Going On:I finally booked my flights for an upcoming business trip to Switzerland. Getting there wasn’t the challenge; it was trying to figure out what to do with the couple of days I had after the conference was over (too many options!). Right now, I’m planning on taking a train to Paris for an…

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…

2023 Week 26 – It’s Not Easy Being Green
What’s Going On:It’s the weekend before the 4th of July, and a couple of weeks ago (while I was on my road trip), the Leadership Team at my office decided to give everyone an extra day off (July 3), so it’s a much appreciated 4-day weekend for this guy. Unfortunately, the weather has been anything…

2023 Week 23 – Pack it Up!
What’s Going On:Finishing the preparations for an upcoming road trip to West Virginia. It’s a combination of camping and a few hotels. The goal is to visit the world’s largest radio telescope in Green Bank, WV. Details to come! What I’m Buying:I love over-engineered items, and Yeti products are just that. Some would say overpriced,…

2023 Week 20 – The Asian Invasion
I ended up out at the track twice last week for work events. Tuesday was wet, and there were no cars on the track, so I ducked out after the event. Thursday was beautiful; the cars were out, turning laps and dialing things in. I always end up at the track every year for a…
