USMB Coffee Shop IV

[williepete]

Plus it is five hours a day of driving for a week long class. Not a lot of study time available.

I sometimes use my drive time to study. I borrowed one of my wife's old digital recorders and recorded notes into it. I break the subjects up into little 3-6 minute bites. Much longer than that and I find myself tuning them out. Makes drive time more productive.

Hope this idea might help. Good luck.

If you have a laptop or other useful tools for study, maybe it would be worth your while to spring for a modestly priced motel room in the city where the classes are? Or buy a recorder to record the lectures/teaching sessions and listen while driving. . .or. . .?

And you are up there in the deep freeze. Do have all the proper emergency survival stuff with you on the road please. We're rather fond of you you know.

Classes are in the heart of Detroit, the weather is not my major concern. From what I have been told it is a 50 question test and you must get 40 or more correct. Anything in the book or from class is fair game.

Anything in the book or from class is fair game.

Know anyone who's taken the course and test? Can you find someone? A little "research" can go a long way in optimizing your study time.

FELIZ ANO NUEVO
to all you wonderful Coffee Shoppers
​

News Years Eve isn't all that big a deal for Albuquerqueans who usually go all out for Christmas Eve. But there are some events around town that I'm sure the younger set enjoys:

Nob Hill is a combination quaint/quirky shopping district along historic Route 66 on Central Ave.

All the casinos usually arrange for some special event

Last year on the Plaza in the heart of down town. NYC doesn't have anything on us except for a few million more people.

And all holidays here involve hot air balloons in some way

Plus the cuisine features homemade tamales, green chile stew, posole, taquitos, chips and salsa and a lot of sangria and margaritas.

Go have some fun for me! That looks great!

We are prisoners of our latitude here in the Crotch of the Tri-State area. The night comes quickly and the cold is a given, like in an algebra problem. Whatever scene you set, dark and cold tell you something is not going to go as planned.

They have the figure skating pond open in the East End. The ELFD floods a low laying area when it's this blessedly cold. There are 55 gallon steel drums filled with burning scrap 2X4's around benches to lace up your skates. The Kiwanis has the skate and food concessions so you're going to have to deal with Frank Hilliard, But that's long story.

Here's the frigid north wishing everyone in the sunny southlands a rootin' tootin' New Year!

I joined during peak package season and made it through, so that is a good sign. Just a ton of details to learn. I have been the answerman for many years in my past job. Difficult to be on the question end. A better blend of physical and mental work than my last job. I will be glad when the 12th is over and the test is behind me.

Brrr BBD. That is COLD!!! But happy you checked in.

Happy New Year to all USMB posters. It is going to be a good year for me as my favorite number is part of it. Don't ask me why my favorite number is the number 8 for I don't have a reason. I sometimes think it is the symmetry of the number since I can't otherwise explain. The number 8 is a complete number, softly curvaceous, and reminds me of the architectural design of many things, India. I love a softly rounded Indian look as opposed to those with edges but I do have a combination of both in the interior design of my domicile. The Taj Mahal is but one of 150 framed pictures embracing me at all times with a graceful ambiance.

BBD, looks like you will be spending the day inside? You, with the lovely redhead.

Happy New Year, all coffee shoppers! It has long been a pleasure knowing you.
