Road Trip Day 4

Today was the last day in the welding shop, at least for this trip. I really expect to be back up here in a couple of weeks. I thought for today's first picture, I will show you a shot at the shop. This picture is nothing special but since I have been documenting my road trip, I wanted it include it.
Now, since I strive to take photos with good composition and lighting, I cannot leave everyone with the shop picture being a representative to keep in your mind today. So, on the way back to the hotel, we stopped by "The Harbor" apartment complex to get a photo of their lighthouse. From what I could tell, the lighthouse is surrounded by a lake but since everything is frozen and covered with snow, I cannot be positive. I was going to take this yesterday but didn't think the white lighthouse against a totally overcast sky would be very appealing. Hope this one is.

The end of our trip is near (we are heading home in the morning with about a 6 hour drive) so we hit "The Boneyard" for dinner. I have had better ribs before, they were pretty good, but I think I like the Blues Brothers decor more. Night all.

  2. I've managed to really have some fun on business trips in the past, such as going to a Nascar race at the California Speedway, seeing game 7 of the NBA finals between the Spurs and Nets in San Antonio and going off-roading in a Hummer with a Mexican movie star to name a few. Believe it or not, I do get my job done first, before I play.

  3. The lighthouse picture is really good. The composition is nice and waiting for the sunny day was a good call. My husband loves the blues brothers. My mom wouldn't let me watch that kind of movie when I was a kid so I never got into it. I am curious what do you do for a living?

  4. Karen, My job title is "AQE/SQA Senior Administrator". I have been in Quality for over 28 years and work with subcontractors who supply component parts that go into the making of the seats that go into the Subaru Outback and Legacy vehicles and the Toyota Camry. Working with the suppliers sometimes means visiting in person to review parts and/or processes or address Quality concerns. If you drive an Outback, then my company make the seats you are sitting on. The AQE part of my title is for "Advanced Quality Engineering" which means I work with new model parts/suppliers and the SQA part is "Supplier Quality Assurance" which covers the current model parts. Since our company is doing what a lot of companies are, I have the double duty instead of being split up like it was in the past. Bottom line, I will NEVER have all of my work done, but I'm not going to stress about it. My health is worth more than the job.
