Thanks Gene. Actually the company who bought the buildings from my old employer hired me. I'm working with their automation maintenance team. My job there is mostly service of and diagnosis of PLC issues on their factory automation lines.
Right now I'm training at their other facility, learning the ropes of their production lines. They plan to move me back to the "new" building once the new production lines are built and moved in. I think I will miss the more artistic CNC programming, and engineering like design work I was doing. They (my new employer) did buy one of the old light duty routers, I setup Linuxcnc on, at the auction. That machine was my 2nd Linuxcnc retrofit.
