Well, I finally finished the book, "A Brief History of Time" by Professor Steven Hawking. Heavy little read!

Well, in some ways Physics has come a long way, and in some, there is still a long way to go... good book, though!

I started a new job last week, as a delivery driver with CarQuest Auto Parts. I am what is called a "loop driver", which means I drive a route between 4 CQ stores, starting from the superstore in Bakersfield and delivering to Lamont, Arvin and Tehachapi stores. It's a 40-hour 5-day job, and it is nice to be back in a routine work schedule again.

I graduate in June from Bakersfield College with a certificate in the International Building Code. I hope to obtain an engineering position with the County or an Engineering contractor for special deputy inspector work on closely supervised projects. These are special jobs, usually involving structural steel, welding, NDT, concrete, surveying and other things I have done for a lifetime.
These are good paying jobs, usually temporary (5-12 weeks, 48-60 hours/wk), followed by 2-5 weeks off.

Perfect "retirement" job.

My son and his lady have finished their nursery for the expected arrival of a grandson next month (mid-April)! You can see it at http://dave'swindow.blogspot.com.

I have this blog and one other for Poetry at http://bdmonline.blogspot.com.

All for now.
