I was just given a promotion within the company I work for. We have a new facility that we are sharing with CoxNet in Phoenix, Az. We won the bid to do testing, diagnostics, refurb, and repair of their Cisco cable set top boxes. The new position is Operations Manager. Big jump for me. I will be heading to San Diego in a couple days to start gathering information then to Phoenix hopefully by 1st of the year.
Big plus as some of you know, I will be a grandpa this coming May, and my daughter lives right there in Phoenix. It will be great to be close by for support and see my moms first grandchild.
I will surely miss the East Coast and everybody in it. Especially when the Nor easters hit and I'm staying warm. ;)
I'll keep you all posted on the move.
Jim

Hey Jim,
Used to live 40 miles north of San Diego. Now living in Riverside county, which is north even further,but not far enough away for us not to meet.
My club is having a Christmas party Sat. Dec.12. Maybe you can party with us.
Let me know where & when you might be in San Diego, & we can plan something. Brad

Congratulations Jim,
If you have any questions about San Diego, Just ask, I lived there for 30 Years. Know that town pretty well. Phoenix is 3 hours away from Bullhead City,which is on the Colorado river, where I live now. River water will be important to you in june, july, & aug when the outside temp averages 115 !

Pssstt,Hey Jim.Don't let anybody else know this but...it snows in San Diego,true story I've been there and seen it!! I swore not to tell so don't let anybody know was me that told you..ssshhh!!! I've heard tell it snows around Phoenix also but never was there to see it(I have seen my breath there it was that cold,bbrrr).I have seen 'Rain and clear' there,that's western talk for 'rainin clear up ta yer back pockets'and wind that would make Dorothy abit nervous.Like I said don't spread that around back east,just let everybody know how warm and dry it is where you're going. angel
Enjoy the new job/family members and the Warm and Dry DESERT southwest smile
PS
Make sure your heaters working and the roof is in good shape.

I heard it has happened on occasion but I'll be happy to have the freak events then the guaranteed cold weatherback east.
I have been all over this great country and always loved it here in Pa. when I got home. If I had the promotion opportunity here, I would stay. But you go where the money is.

Well just got in from a meeting, and looks like I'm heading to Denver first for the month. We need to get a shop up and running by end of month. San Diego might be out but still ending up in Phoenix.
This company makes changes daily. Pretty frustrating.

Denver? San Diego? Was just in CA over Thanksgiving weekend visiting my sister and my daughter who lives with her. My other daughter and I are thinking about going back there for Christmas. (My youngest, who lives with my sister, is being shipped to Afghanistan in March.) If we go, a New Years Eve party will happen. Keep in touch.
And Congratulations on Grandparenthood and job!

We are trying to get 14wks of work in 2 wks. Typical CTDI way. But it so good to be back to work.

Wow, I am jealous The denver area is our favorite. I know lots of places and people around Colorado. Everytime Lady Phoenix and I go out there we stay in a little town just west of Denver about 18 miles called Idaho Springs. Nice bar at exit 244 called Kermitt's, and a few more 3 miles further in town. Everything is right off I-70. stop at a bar called Ten Day Jacks and tell em Doug and Linda from Indiana sent you.


Cheers!

Hey Doug, is Ten Day Jacks in downtown Denver? I found one there and I found Kermit's. Didn't visit just looked them up. So busy I don't know if I will have a chance to stop but will try. I'm only here until Friday.
