Happy New Year!

[W4GPL]

If this was a trendy highschool yearbook, I might say "what a strange and wild ride it's been", because it has. I don't think stranger and more exciting things happen in a person's entire lifetime. I love where I'm at and I hope everyone is experiencing the same good fortunes.

2011 has been marred by tragedy, illness, joy, and generally awesome things.

I'm not going to get overly sappy, but I said this to a friend moments ago "2011 may have been the best year of my life." I mean that in the most sincere way possible.. the support of my family (especially) and friends has been overwhelming. Happy New Year, may 2012 be even better than 2011 -- one and all!

[KC2UGV]

This year has been the best. 13 years with the wifey, 11 years with kids, and 7 years of not being in the military. Every year gets better :)

May the very best go out to ya'll here :)

[NA4BH]

36 years with the wife. Kids, Grandkids. It only gets better every year. May this new year bring everything you need for happiness. GOD bless every one of you, My Island Family.

I want to say Happy New Year to Everyone!
Fair warning. This is my year. The Year of The Dragon is back. I am The Dragon.
My wife and I got married on 11-01-11. She gifted with the Dragon ring.

Happy new year to all the Islanders and I'll be looking for all of you on 20 and 40 tomorrow.

Happy new year to all the Islanders and I'll be looking for all of you on 20 and 40 tomorrow.I'm having a lot of fun with local QSOs on 10m. ;) No DX, but like the fellowship. SKN FTW.

[KG4CGC]

Maybe I'll go for a ride or work on antennas. If I don't work on antennas, the 40m doublet is still up.

You got married and didn't invite me? I thought we had "FAJITA"? :rofl:

Best to you and your wife, ALWAYS, my friend.

[KG4CGC]

It was a secret until we told ... Mom.
What? Like 16 and a half years together doesn't count for anything?
Apparently not if your folks are Catholic.
Happy New Year Everyone!

[NA4BH]

LOL !!!!!

I haven't met her, but she did good.

[W1GUH]

Happy New Year to all! The years have kept getting better here & I see no reason for that not to continue. And to all of you great family and friends on the Island a big thank you for the well wishes. It's definitely working!!!!!

And my No. 1 resolution is to meet more of you face-to-face. C'mon out to the hamfests, especially you people in the NE. They're great & it's always nice to meet people in the flesh that I've only known through bits and bytes and pixels. But y'know...it's obvious now with the things we've been through recently --one's heart and soul can travel through the digital medium. And there's lots and lots of heart and soul on Island!

Happy New Year, all!!!

(OK...cue Guy Lombardo)

You got married and you didn't even tell your Island compadres about it?? Well, just for that, I'm not gonna tell you about my funeral.

You got married too? :whistle:

Happy New Year to everyone ....and i'll definately be on 20 meters New Years day! :dance:

[VK3ZL]

Happy New year to you all on our unique Island....It took years of my life to finally find a place where I feel I am among friends...

I wish that 2012 will be a great year for us all ...

VK3ZL....Bob..

[NQ6U]

I'm disappointed—it's 2012 and still no jet packs or flying cars.

[K7SGJ]

Happy New Year one an all. I hope you all have a great 2012. May you always have a Island Cove Mahi on your hook.

[N8YX]

Happy New Year, all!

PSK rig is warmed up and ready to go.

[WV6Z]

Happy New Year!

[N8GAV]

2012 has to be better for me, only time will tell. Happy New Year to all!

Extra car in the driveway and a strange guitar in the man cave, but can't seem to find the owner of these items? :dunno:

I wish each and every one of you here on the Island, The Best of All Prosperity.Belated congratulations, of course.

May you be able to do in 2031 what I can do today, namely ask a question like this:

How many hams are in this picture?

OK, first, the young James Hetfield looks a bit out of place. Was the year, 1976?

[W3WN]

OK, first, the young James Hetfield looks a bit out of place. Was the year, 1976?No, the year was not 1976. I guess you missed the hint vis a vis the date...

[ka4dpo]

I count eleven......

[KG4CGC]

No, the year was not 1976. I guess you missed the hint vis a vis the date...
LULZ!
OK. Sorry. It looks so retro though. I guess I've forgotten that some people still looked like that in 92. I remember the last poodle hair style on a man in 1988. After that, the mullet was really into its own and more recently the skullet. I guess those were the mullets that lost their front hair.

[kf0rt]

I count eleven......

That'd be my guess, too.

[PA5COR]

Happy New Year.... preparing for the next storm tomorrow and the rest of the week now.
Number 11 since the start of december, 12 C outside what normall would be just below freezing.
Got 1/2 our monthly rainfall in one da esterda, so i don't have to worry about a hose ban...;)

[W3WN]

I count eleven......That'd be my guess, too.You're right, but not for the reason you think. In other words, it's a trick question.

The bride is not a ham. Everyone else is... including the unseen photographer, who was her uncle.

Curses. Well, there's a bet I woulda lost.

And knowing this, she still married........Oh..........never mind.

[KG4CGC]

When is it appropriate to tell a woman that you're a ham?

[K7SGJ]

Right before you tell her you've been cheating on her. It takes some of the sting out of the fact that you are a ham.

Holy shit. I remember that thread. That really had to be an epic troll.

I knew that......

[W3WN]

And knowing this, she still married........Oh..........never mind.We mark 20 years in a couple of weeks. Sometimes, hell, most of the time, I don't believe it either.

[W3WN]

When is it appropriate to tell a woman that you're a ham?Kind of hard to hide when you have a 2 meter mobile in your van... let alone that plus a TS-120, and three hamsticks on the back.

It didn't hurt that her favorite uncle (the one who took her to Forbes Field to watch baseball games) was a ham, too.

[K7SGJ]

We mark 20 years in a couple of weeks. Sometimes, hell, most of the time, I don't believe it either.

We have our 29th coming up on tax day. It is amazing that my wife has put up with me all these years. But then we've been through some very trying times, and like they say, "what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger". Or something like that.

Happy Anniversary.

[WØTKX]

Hows the van? :stickpoke: :lol:

[W3WN]

Hows the van? :stickpoke: :lol:The Urban Assault Vehicle is long gone, sad to say. It was a 79 Chevy Van that I picked up used for a pittance. Got about 5 good years out of it, but the engine was in poor shape when I got it, and I wasn't able to do much more with it. Had a great interior, though... panelled and carpeted, yes, the previous owner had pimped it out inside.

[WØTKX]

Oh, OK. I thought 'SGJ's van got smacked up a little bit. Heh heh heh.

[K7SGJ]

Nothing that couldn't be "pounded" out.

[WØTKX]

OOOOOooooo... :shifty:

[W3WN]

Oh, OK. I thought 'SGJ's van got smacked up a little bit. Heh heh heh.Ah. Wrong van. My bad.
