AAAand back again

It was raining when I left Wagga Wagga and was still pissing down at Temora, but by the time I reached Barmedman there was only a light sprinkle. Skies were blue at Wyalong. In fact, the day got hot enough for me to put on the A/C. There's an awful lot of not a lot to look at between here and there. First stop was a coffee at Wyalong, and the next was a Coffee and Curry Pie at The Dish Cafe. The radio telescope at Parkes is a mandetory stop, of course.

The pies they make at the Cafe are a bonus. I had my coffee and pie in the out-doors section, sitting in the warm breeze so I could watch the Dish do hyper-accurate timing of pulsars.

I'll be sitting the CCNA2 final exam later this week or earlier next week.

A lot of driving across the country side for a stay in a hotel room and roadside food.

I take it that you have to travel back again for your final exams whenever they finally get the machine back online.

No, the exams are on-line so I can take them here, but I had to go to Wagga to do the skills tests and case studies. Which I passed. 8)

Congratulations!

Hard part is over and exams can be done in comfort of own home with no distractions (unless pointy-teeth decides to risk another death walk anyway).
