Just a line to let everyone know I'm still alive. School has me kinda busy.
Been working mainly on residential units. Rex, our instructor, says we'll be getting into commercial stuff later on. Quite a bit to learn and my head is about full. Glad some of this stuff is settling in and leaving room for more on top.
Wife is doing fine. MIL is still doing well in her home. The wife is visiting her daily. She seems to have taken to the place well.
Dog and cats are still alive. As long as there is food, don't think they will be going anywhere else.
Watched the space shuttle fly overhead last night. NASA has a program that will send you an e-mail whenever it is in the neighborhood. That puppy moves right along.
Well that's about all I have for now. Will try to keep up here when I can.
Back to the studying.

First Day of School
Well, that is finally behind me. Got thru my first day off school.
Classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The first 2 hrs. are going to be learning the Internet. Mainly getting everyone used to surfing the web and studying Ms. Access, Word, PowerPoint and Excel. I've got those programs loaded on this laptop, but it takes about 10 minutes for it to load. Need to do some work on this thing. My CD drive isn't working and I've not been able to up date the unit for a while.
Around 9:30 we have the HVAC training. Today was mostly paperwork and safety training. The instructor showed us the lab we will be using and gave us a list of tool we'll need. Picked up the books and saw my bank acct take a nose dive. Books shouldn't cost over 100 dollars. Back in the day, they went for less than 50. Some are now over 200. Of course a dollar is only about 18 cents now. (No, I don't have a source for that).
Got home and read the chapters I needed for one course and need to read some more for the other.
At least they have lots of pictures.
Write more sometime.
