New Post....

I have been busy in Oklahoma going to school for the Postal Service learning how to fix the CIOSS.

I just had to put my 2 cents in about Larry Fuqua. I do not know who put the comment about Larry being such a good worker. Then they had to put in other names of ET's that have actually retired. When I saw that I thought of the Three Stooges and who was the ringleader of that.... Larry of course.

I am going to enjoy getting back in San Diego and seeing how far the new addition to MLS is going. When I had left it only had the concrete floor. Now I understand it has the walls up and supports for the roof in place.

Retirement.....

This has been a long time in coming... Retirement for Larry Fuqua at the Midway Facility in San Diego. This was announced at our stand-up on Tour 1 last night prior to beginning work. The date of his actual retirement was stated to be September 19th.

Larry good luck to you in your endeavors away from the Postal Service.

And finally here is the newsgroup that has tons and tons of information. This link is for the discussion group about NRP, but there are alot of other subjects. There are now 65 pages in the one post about NRP, there is a lot of whining on both sides and stupid stuff. But a lot of informed people have put up good info on helping people do the right steps. It is sad to see so many being affected by this.

Long time....

Been sometime since I have been posting on this blog. Got busy with family and work. Did not have enough time in the day to do everything I would like to do. I will try now to keep this going and updated at least weekly.
