moving, again

tbob — Mon, 20 May 2013 15:55:36 GMT

Hey guys. I know I haven't been very active lately, just been too busy. But things are about to change. My company (Westinghouse) is shutting down its Scottsdale (AZ) operations and moving things to their headquarters in Cranberry, PA, just north of Pittsburgh. I just have a couple of years left to become retirement eligible so I'm moving to PA for a couple of years. Hopefully things won't be so busy and I can start posting more.

Is anyone on this forum in the Pittsburgh area? It would be nice to meet some new faces.

To AK2DM: I sure will miss our occasional lunches. I'll think of you enjoying the cool AZ winters while I'm freezing my butt off in PA. I'll also think of you suffering the brutal summers while I'm enjoying the cool summers in PA. See you in a couple of years, buddy.

There at least used to be a couple of guys on here from DSA (located in Pittsburgh), including Ben.

But if you are ever in the Cincinnati area, look me up.

tbob,

You forgot about the humidity which goes with our "cool" summers. 85 degrees F at 50% RH is less comfortable than 99 degrees at 15%.

tbob:

I shall miss you too, my friend. If you drop into town give me a call so we can meet. The summers out here seem to get more brutal as you get older.

If it is any consolation- RUSH was finally inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

Yep. Southern CA is about the best you can get weather-wise. The few months I spent there were perfect. Every. Single. Day.

Funny. When I was there it was cold an rainy. Everybody was bundled up in winter coats and freezing. I was walking around in a short sleeve polo shirt. It was also 30 degrees colder and snowing at home, so it was like a heat wave to me.

It was a "global 'warming'" rain.

Hey tbob,

If you do make it down to Cincy, let me know. I'll take you to get some Graeter's ice cream.

Re: moving, again

Ray.R — Sun, 26 May 2013 16:57:07 GMT

Absolutely..

Last time we drove past Cincy, we just stopped downtown for 5 mins. Not long enough to anjoy the city.

We'll have to meet and try that ice cream.

Ray, any idea for when this trip of yours is planned? I'm currently in Portland, Maine, but it is only for a week (although I'll probably have to return in a couple), been a bit hectic of late so I haven't thought much about our possible Fingerlakes Wine Tour, but if you were coming through I would definitely want to see if Kerry and I could get together with you two.

Ray.R — Thu, 30 May 2013 12:38:34 GMT

Hi Putnam,

We might make a quick trip the weekend of June 14-16th. We could repeat the experience later this summer or early fall..

If so, a special guest would be joining us. 🙂

At that timing you may not be able to stop for much visiting. I will wave when you zip by on I-70.

Lynn,

Are you near Columbus, OH? I don't think we'll make it that far on this trip.. But probably the next one..
