Now that I've moved over to Mastodon via @medium I thought it was time for an . If one word could describe me most it would be "eclectic". My career pursuits include being a meteorologist, IT professional, website builder, blogger and content editor. Offline, some of my interests include Hi-Fi systems, music, motorcycles (ride a Can-Am Spyder), camping, hiking, and healthy dose home technology. I've been away from for some time and working on my "return". (1/2)

This is me in 1991 when I worked for the National Weather Service at their Weather Service Meteorological Observatory in Garden City, KS. I was radar certified and sitting behind me is the console for the WSR-57. This radar was part of a network of conventional weather radars the United States used for their observation and warning programs. This radar was designed/built well before I was born...and included vacuum tubes! The radar was decommissioned later that decade.
