In my last post I was sitting in an airport bemoaning my lack of time due to my long commute. I just took a step to correct that. I have accepted a job with Matrix Scientific and will start work with them the first of August. The company is located in Albion, NY and I’ll be working from home. Travel appears to be more frequent than with Factory Automation Systems but the duration of time away from home will be much, much less.

Between now and my start date I’m having a cyst removed from my knee. This has been causing me trouble and giving me a lot of pain for over a year now. I finally went to an orthopedic surgeon over this and as soon as we found out what the problem was I scheduled the surgery.

By fall I should be able to tackle hiking the Georgia portion of the Appalachian trail. This has been something I’ve wanted to do for some time now but first the job and then my knee got in the way of accomplishing the trek. I will be taking on sections of this portion of the trail on weekends.
