Hi, My name is Larry. I guess you would say I'm from the "Old Dog" generation.. Ha..ha. I actually retired in 2005, "Kind of".
Actually I retired from California's Department of Water Resources where I was a manager for one of the Control System Sections. We developed and maintained large scale Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition (SCADA) Systems used to operate large Power Plants and Pumping Plants throughout the state of California.
I said "Kind of" retired above because as soon as I retired, I kept getting consulting offers from private companies that I couldn't refuse Ha..ha. The problem was that in order to complete these projects, I needed to be away from home a lot. Well, I got tired of being away from my family so I have pretty much stopped the consulting and now I am bored. :).
So I decided to try Internet Marketing and here I am, a 70 year old "Old Dog" wanting to learn new tricks. I've done a lot of research and have decided to try out Kyle & Carson's Wealth Affiliate Training Group.
I have a few hobbies that I am hoping to use as a basis for creating a Niche or two. Hopefully this will work into something that help others, make me a few bucks and keep me from being bored sitting around the house.
I know from experience that you are only as successful as the people around you. So I am looking forward to any help you can provide. This "Old Dog" is into learning new tricks.

Good morning Larry from the great province of B. C., Canada. Maple Ridge to be more precise. First I wan't to say thanks for following me and second, I am 66 and started WA just a couple of weeks ago. It's pretty awesome in here and I am learning a lot. Am currently working on building content on my first site in between delivering phone books.
I see that you have been a member for a while now, How is it going??
Will try to maintain contact and will return the follow. Have an awesome day.

Hi Larry, thanks for the follow! As an AUstralian and a brewer, water management is very important to me, so I was iinterested in reading your profile.
I used to work in a brewery that used about 10 litres of water to make a litre of beer. I had just a little feeling of shame.
I also love your site - makes me hungry.
Cheers!

Hey, Larry that "Old Dog" is only as old as he thinks he is... You can always learn something new... Example, you retired from the department of water work so I'm quite sure you know "Stagnant" water stinks, it must keep moving to remain fresh...

Dear Larry:
You are not an "Old Dog". You are part of the national treasure of seasoned Americans who built this country. You have a wealth of knowledge that is priceless.
I would consider it a privilege to call you friend and to call on you for help when it is needed.
Remember, Larry, you are only a few days past 20 and you have the advantage of years of experience that younger people do hot have.

Persia

Hi Larry, welcome to WA. I too am quite old school so technology isn't my thing. When I was a youngster nobody had a computer nor a mobile phone. In fact noone I knew had even heard of them. But we have to move with the times or we get left behind. WA can really make a huge difference to your success. The only problem I am having is getting my head around setting up my website and I was at the brink of giving up. I'm fine with following instrutions until something goes wrong, then I am well and truly stuck.
But, you have to make use of all the talent here at WA. Use all the resources available to you and always ask for help. Good luck.

Woof woof from one old dog to another. Hi Larry, I am also a newbie and working through level 3 and going OK. Go premium and try to do at least 10 lessons a week. I aim for two a day. Don't skip any tasks even if they seem daunting. Persevere and you will be on the success road.

Hey Larry_T, James here again, I noticed that you have been here since January 2011. You probably can answer these two questions for me. 1. What is the average size images to use on a post? 2. Is it better to move websites from siterubix or stay there. I am new at this and had a problem with Amazon approving siterubix. They said it didn't meet their criteria and cancelled my account. I don't know if it was something lacking on my part. I would like to know if I am getting things right. I am following the training to the best of my knowledge. Sorry for such a long story.
Thanks
James

Love your site Larry. Running a water supply business in California must be extremely stressful....you'll well out of it. I'm just about to populate my site with product so any tips of linking to Amazon would be welcome....from an even 'Older Dog' of 76. All the best.

Hi Larry,
so, one can teach an "old dog new tricks" after all! I just read your blog about giving oneself a break, and it is much appreciated as I have had the same experience and know where you're coming from!
Kind regards,

Hi Larry. Thanks for the follow. Looking forward to working with everyone here at WA. Seeing as you've been here a little while, guessing this is a great place to stay and I don't plan on leaving. And like you, I want to be around like-minded people. The human aspect here is definitely going to be critical to my success.
