Speed is very important to me and the work I had as the last part of working for my favorite company due to the fact that it gave me and opportunity to work with possibly the most brilliant engineers I have ever met in my 50 years of working as a Control System engineer around the world. I left the company to become a private consultant and due to my wife health deteriorating with me being able to do work at home I told the last company I was under contract with I could not continue and went hoe and started a division of my corporation in the web design company. I found out in a few sales meetings that I had to have a website to show off my work. so in a few weeks armed with my new creation of a business I had no intent to be in I found myself getting orders. Lots of them. I charted where each order came from so I could show perspective customhouses but never got to use than as the companies I purchased the equipment I bought from them asked where I was getting sales all over the Northern Hemisphere I was getting contracts to build therm websites with password protected inventiveness ans password protection so that only there wholesale customers could see the inventory with pictures and such as the non retailer but for the difference in price . The programs also gave extra ease to some who paid of allowing them t o just enter the price they paid and the weight and the program would compute a retail price and that included shipping cost of the parts from where the wholesaler got the part to where his warehouse was his overhead, and several different tiers of retailer he dealt with which only he knew why the different prices, it also had an inventor count of all parts on hand which were modified by shipping inputting the number of parts coming through them to a retailer and receiving entering how many parts were received through them. Thus the on line catalog could be viewed by anyone but the other prices would depend on employee numbers and their password, the retailers number and password filtered by the special pricing system for favorite customers.
This all became to busy for me to do anymore programming and just handle the business the silly make believe business I made up had to much business to only allow time to do the business. shortly after my wife died I sold the business, remarried and moved me, my dogs and corporation to Pennsylvania. until my new wife retired. She retired and we moved to where I first went to in my first engineering job to visit a supplier that was supplying us with a part for the Apollo space program. It took about 3 hours and and outdoor restaurant in Scottsdale for me to decide to retire there. I was different then as Scottsdale was just a hotel, a few restaurants as and a few building with residential houses enough from Motorola who took me to lunch that day. I would say that Motorola had enough employees to make the place in the desert a town them to support a school system but that was it. I took less that ten minutes to drive in any direction to find empty desert. Now I live about 60 miles south of there in a desert. Our house is an unpaved sand road in a desert that is at 2300 feet above sea level. We live in our house on the third dirt road from what some people would called paved road but lucky that forth paved road is only about a of quarter a mile long before what I call an oasis. It is a paved four lane divided highway with a separate road for golf carts and such. It was amusing to see all the girls out here on their horsed every morning and I was driving by and they all had pistols on their hips. Not East Coast out here.
It is different here as when we stop at a small restaurant for lunch about two miles from the range. We would be sitting in the middle of a room surrounded by Native Americans, Border Patrol, ICE and others from from the rifle range sitting around us eating and in with each ones own group in conversation all but the Native Americans wearing side arms in open holsters. We were on a reservation with the border patrol district station just a mile or two up the street and the native American houses and stores are all around us.
My occupation these days is working out a system to increase the accuracy of my 338 Lapua Magnum by developing a charge that accounts for dimensional case variations by keeping track of every case for it life cycle with the charge and the resulting muzzle velocity at 1 inch. All this to be competitive on the 1K yard range. I also enjoy 1000 yard shooting with my US 30 cal M1 Rifle alone. There are only a few who shoot 1K and those are the ones who also have problems a 0.1K. At those distance I use s Ballistic program since there are variables that at shorter ranges need not be considered and the further out you shoot the more affect it has on shitting the small competitive section edge of the target. Not too expensive it you can manufacture your own ammunition and tune it to your rifle. Well that is me and I wish you all have as much fun as I have in life. Find the job you like and you will never work a day.
