Don't worry Paula... not looking to relocate... YET ! heeee....heee... (gotta' leave some doubt in your mind)... Thank you Chris... "positive"... as my signature here says... Whether you think you can or you can't... you're right.Being at these forums with my e-friends helps... I spend more time here than I did when I was working... a "dangerous" thing...  ...but I do put effort into my job search in between...  I had a "promising" interview 2 weeks ago... but the funding didn't get approved for the position... Another recruiter is trying' to convince me to look seriously into a 1-year contract in Virginia... with the U.S. government... it requires a security clearance so the foriegners are outta' luck on this one... haaa.haaa... I'm postponing this for now... that's a long time to travel to & from CT every week or so... and would nix my near-weekly trips to my land in VT during the warm months... and I'd miss being with my girlfriend ! ...and I have a phone interview with IBM today for a 6-month contract located only 12 miles away... but that's for technical skills I haven't used in 5+ years... ...and perhaps some I do not have... ...I'll see when I/they find out more.. There's one other good possibility with Kodak that should surface mid-January... this one looks like an excellent fit from both sides... ...except for a nasty commute... I'm kinda' holdin' out for this possibility... Dave...

Hi... "...and I have a phone interview with IBM today for a 6-month contract located only 12 miles away... but that's for technical skills I haven't used in 5+ years... ...and perhaps some I do not have... ...I'll see when I/they find out more.." Just spent 25 minutes on the phone interview with a technical person at IBM... This interview was not about what I was told as I indicated above... It's about an SAP/ABAP position that I'm most qualified for... and full-time with IBM... ...only 12 miles away ! No commute from hell... which I really... really... do not like...  The lady who I interviewed with (who is in charge of this development area) is recommending to her boss that they hire me... no follow-up or face-to-face interview... go figure ! Sometimes things happen when you least expect it ! But... not all by chance... I've been asking my deceased son for weeks to help find me a job I'll be happy with... Guess this is one of those times he's actually listened to Dad... heee.... heee...  Now... if he can arrange an offer with a nice salary increase... I know your positive thoughts have an effect too ! Thank you ! Dave...

Marty it's a Uniden 78 Elite, Uniden IMO still makes the best CB radio out there. It does not have SSB, they discontinued the Grant last year  but I do have a XL and a LT so that is good. They offered a $40 mail in rebate so I was able to pick up the radio with Peak and Tune from my Tech in VA and an adjustment to run a linear and payed for shipping. It is a very sweet radio I have to say. Here's a pic. 
Yes it is backlit for easy seeing at night, very sweet, now I just have to fit in time to use it with all the others lol.... C

.... turn the streets into garden tractor race tracks, convince all the guys in town that the only colors they need to wear are Honda red or John Deere green, etc.... The poor state would never be the same....
