Friday morning (well, just after noon, but way morning for me), as I’m in that kinda-asleep-but-kinda-not condition that you get to experience if you don’t wake up to an alarm clock, I heard the text-message chime go off on my phone.  At first, I try to ignore it, after all, I’m still “asleep”, but my curiosity got the best of me, and I pick up the phone to see what was up.  Ted sent me a message, saying  “pack your bags ur going to bass lake for the weekend!!!!!!”.  Well…  you can’t argue with something like that, so I started packing.

Here are some pictures and details of the weekend.

NASA’s Mars Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, carry pieces of metal recovered from Ground Zero.  Both rovers are equipped with identical parts.  This image, provided by NASA, is of the rover Spirit, and was taken by the panoramic camera on February 2, 2004.  The piece of metal with the US flag emblem is aluminum recovered from the World Trade Center, after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

So a few minutes ago I’m checking out the stats page for my blog, when I see 2 hits from the search engine term ‘sexy ham radio’.  I really had to do a double take on that.

This image is closer to the reality of ham radio.  ‘Sexy’ is not a term I would generally attribute to it.

There are a few exceptions, of course.

For instance, THIS is a sexy ham radio operator…

Oh, crap.  How did that happen?

Well, I suppose it beats the alternative!

Perhaps the focus should now become how high can I get that number?

It was Monday, BTW.

Thanks to all who wished me a Happy Day.

Remind me not to do that again

Well, that was a complete waste of a Saturday!

I woke up a bit earlier than normal, and was looking through my emails when I saw one recommending a story site on the internet, and one particular story.  I checked it out, and started reading at about 1pm.  It didn’t look to be too long of a story, although it was listed at 33 chapters.  Now, “chapters” on online sites tend to be a few paragraphs, so I thought I could knock that out fairly quickly.  I’m a fast reader, and can burn through a story pretty quickly.

Bad idea.
