Do you happen to know what happens if I get a corrupted packet
via Y-G? Will the protocol itself recognize the problem (so the
message database pointers don't get updated)?

So far, Y-G is doing okay, and I'll figure out my long-term
requirements and plans later.

That's kind of cool. More power to you.

Do you have credits from community college that could transfer
over? And you could inquire of your geology contacts about
ways to alternatively fulfill or even circumvent the requirements.
And the older you are, the more likely an institution is to
be willing to do things like that - especially for a veteran
with a proven work history. If worse came to worst, there's
always that GED test.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00

      Title: Lin's Super Terrific Smoked Pork Chops
 Categories: Cyberealm, Mom's best, Meats
      Yield: 2 servings

      4    Smoked pork chops, lean
      1    Egg, beaten
    3/4 c  Seasoned bread crumbs
      1 ts Garlic powder
    1/2 ts Dill
           Oil to saute
      1 pk Lipton Golden Onion Soup Mix

  1. Heat the oil in a frying pan, preferably cast iron. Heat the oven
  to 300F. In a separate disk, add the beaten egg, and add a little milk
  to extend. In another dish, place the bread crumbs, garlic and dill.

  2. Dip the chops in the egg, then dredge through the crumb/spice
  mixture. Saute in hot oil on both sides until brown.

  3. Transfer to a large baking dish (which you should spray with a
  nonstick spray to make life easier when you clean it!). Sprinkle with
  the Golden Onion Soup mix and bake at 300F for 1 1/2 hours, covered.

  4. About 30 minutes before the meat is done, prepare Minute Rice
  according to instruction in a separate saucepan. Instead of using
  the water as directed, try using College Inn or Swanson Beef Broth
  (it gives the rice a GREAT flavor!). Once the rice is prepared,
  (it should take about 10 minutes), remove the meat from the oven,
  remove the chops from the baking pan, put the rice in the bottom
  of the baking dish, and put the chops back ontop of the rice. Bake
  uncovered for an additional 10 minutes at 400F.

  This is great with a vegetable and rolls. Don't forget the applesauce!
  Very filling.
