			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to 2011 and those who may stumble across this blog. It&#8217;s a place where product details for Left Coast Simulations and general views of the Microsoft Flight Simulator franchise are expressed.</p>
<p>First, Where have I been? Long story, so I&#8217;ll use the clip notes. After being off work for personal reasons up until last summer, I decided it was time to get a job. Took some (cough&#8230;) training courses, got certified and went out to see what was available. I did have a decent job up to the start of 2008, but left for the personal reasons mentioned above. Then the economy decided to take a dump. But I wasn&#8217;t able to assess just how bad things were, as I had other responsibilities to tend to. Only when I went job seeking did I discover just how bad things were, or at least in my area.</p>
<p>My job search was not for a high level, high skill occupation. I&#8217;m blessed to have a house that only I own, so my needs are less than what others might have. But even with the hopes of a low-paying, menial job this job search wasn&#8217;t to be a success. Shame on some of the companies for the fraud and unlawful activities they want to inflict upon a section of the population that just wants to earn a &#8220;somewhat&#8221; living.</p>
<p>Then I realized I didn&#8217;t need to play the games that&#8217;s involved in a sour economy. While I had hoped to stay around the old homestead a few more years, I decided to go ahead and ready the house for sale. And I&#8217;ll take the money (it&#8217;s paid for!) and escape this mess known as Southern Kalifornia. In a few weeks I hope to load the little U-Haul with a few important things, like computer equipment, and point myself to the way northern part of the state. So look out NorKali, I&#8217;m moving (back) in.</p>
<p>Once I finish clean, painting and planting I will be back working on the product lines for LCSims. Some freeware, some donation-ware and the commercial product line. One computer has been very busy downloading some good source material. And once relocated to NorKali a good amount of time will be spent developing reasonably priced, yet quality based products for FSX and that new thing Microsoft has been teasing us about.</p>
<p>In a short time I&#8217;ll have the full site back online, I just want to double-check it and make sure it&#8217;s ready to upload. Until then, Thank You for stopping by. Maybe there will be something developed along the way that catches your eye and I&#8217;ll be happy to have you as a satisfied customer.</p>
