Hello from Lincoln, NE (Belated)
Wednesday Evening – December 8, 2021 (First post of this travelogue)
Note 02/13/2022: there have been several posts that somehow have not been published. Certainly it could not be a problem with me – right? {big grin} I think this catches me up.
Well, I am back in Lincoln to teach another class. I am staying at the Downtown Holiday Inn Express (Google Maps). This is either a new facility or newly remodeled. It does not show as a Holiday Inn on the Google Maps. It is a great facility, but they charge $20 per night valet parking. It is very close to my teaching location, so that is a bonus.

I have been teaching another two day class (Bearings and Lubrication). I sort of dread a two day class, as it really takes the better part of 4 days when you consider travel time. This is the first time I have flown to an NTT assignment in well over a year. I had a couple of assignments at Boeing in the Seattle area earlier this year, but Pat and I drove to those assignments.
This class went very well. The folks seemed to engage well and had good input/questions. I glanced at my “grades” and they seemed to be quite good. The class has good content (lecture only), but it is too much material for one day but not enough to fill two days. That could be a problem if the customer thinks they are getting short changed when we finish early. This customer is very understanding and had no problem with completing the course two hours early.
Tomorrow I fly home. In spite of Lincoln being the capitol, the airport is very small and does not have much in the way of amenities. I like to get to the airport early and have a leisurely breakfast, but it looks like the only food vendor may not be open until one hour before my flight.
That is all for this trip.
