Robert Borger:  

Life Married to the same wonderful lady for over 51 years. Son, 50, has completed his teaching certificates to make a career change. Unfortunately, teaching has become a shrinking profession. His first career change was to go into Restaurant Management but that didn't work out. So he has completed all his Microsoft Support classes and is now a computer technical support specialist. He is a Support Manager for a local computer support company providing computer and technical support on several of his own accounts. After 40 years, I have retired from working as a Geophysical Consultant through my own company. Doing oil and gas exploration for various companies around the world was a lot of fun. Worked in places like Australia, North Africa, West Africa, Middle East and India. Now I'm full time retired, we are traveling (Switzerland, Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Czech Republic, Republic of Slovakia, Austria, Hungary) and working on airplanes. Been flying since 1962. Completed building my first airplane, a Europa XS, in January 2009. I began work on my second airplane, a Little Toot sport Biplane, in late January 2009. The aircraft has been completed and inspected. Took a break from my project to help my friend complete his Big Toot project. It is flying now so we'll go back to work on my Toot. Big Toot was flying in 1st quarter of 2019. It made it to AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI at the Experimental Aircraft Association National Fly-In at the end of July 2019. When we returned we went to work completing my Little Toot called The Tasmanian Devil. The Devil first flew at the end of 2019. The China Virus thing has made a mess of 2020 but Mo and I have let it impact us as little as possible. We have continued to attend Mass, shop and eat out as usual but wearing those stupid masks as required. Thank goodness our Governor has removed the mask mandate and opened the state. We have had our China Virus shots. This February (2021) we lost power, had to move in with our Son's family for several days during which time North Texas had a record setting cold spell. With no power, -5ºF (-20ºC) temperature and with water running at several sinks in the home, our tankless hot water heater froze and blew up. When power was restored the next day we came home to water in the family room, kitchen, dining room, sunroom, master bedroom and master bath. What a mess. But we are only one of 100,000 families in North Texas who have had the same thing happen. At least we can live in our home for now. Our insurance company has been helping but the needs are overwhelming. Looks like it will be 6 months before we are back to something approaching normal. After a month living in the wrecked home and 13 weeks living in a hotel (nice hotel, but still a hotel). we are back in our home. We moved back in on 1 July and have spent the last few wee...Expand for more
