IP Phones are a big deal now!! We have a bunch of IP Phone systems. We have facilities in WY, MT, ID, UT. We are using Polycom phones.
But wait a minute...didn't you say AE? Aviation Electrician....that qualifies as a green shoe buddy.

Yep good ole IP Phones is what we design and manufacture...Mitel is the name of the company. We sell the polycom phones as well as our own depending on application.

OH and I am off on Monday too.....

Watch out fishies, I am going to be out gunning for them this weekend, and maybe even squeeze in a round of golf.

Fishing I understand...
Golf....... Getting yourself pissed....chasing little with ***** that go where they want to....All of this so you have an excuse to sit and have a drink at a high priced bar....

Stock the boat.... Scotch, Burbon, ICE, Club soada, coke,......Beer...
Then hit the water and catch fish as you try to drink like a fish....

Any idea where you're going riding/staying? We like to ride around Galena. It's an old mining town 6 miles south of Deadwood on Hwy 385. Plenty of camping sites. Full service or boondock.

We left home yesterday for Cheyenne Frontier Days. It's a good time down here. We were planning to go to Buena Vista, CO for three days to go four-wheelin while we're this close, but, that plan fell thru.

Good riding, my friend. Take lots pix. Have fun!

My service dates where Sept 1977 to October 1981 (had to extend an extra month to get "A" school) and if you had "Aviation" in your rate then you where a green shoe. Remember E1-E3 stripes where green? Or did they change that...?

Stripes were Green.... The chiefs and officers in the aviation community wore Brown shoes. There was a Green dress uniform for the Aviation Community (E-7 and above).

I never heard of "Green" Shoe......

Well,,y'all been having a good time, have fun out west. Anyone around Daytona come find me. I'll be at the port orange KOA or the Sunglow pier on the beach. If I'm not in either of those places I'm eating or sleeping.

And golf? You could replace the word fishing in any golf sentence and have the same effect. So sailor, chase around fish, make yourself mad, yada yada. It's a frustrating game if you don't approach it the right way. Helps if you have some ability. It's a lot more fun when you wear out the ***** rather than lose them. After about 4 rounds they're no good anymore....I don't play much anymore but did enjoy a single digit handicap for a while.

Got my new nittos yesterday, pics coming......
