All it needs is some pulled pork BBQ and a some onion ring fritters stacked on it. Maybe a little Dukes mayonnaise and salt.

Yeah, not my style but I've seen drunks eat worse. Believe it or not.

Count your blessings.

Hello all,

Despite my screen name, I live in Cleveland, Ohio, the aptly named "Mistake on the Lake." Looking forward to moving back to semi-rural upstate NY as soon as someone there will hire me. I'm an Extra Class ham and also hold a Canadian Advanced amateur license. My 12-year-old son just earned his Tech license and we're very proud of him.

I have an interest in getting CQ's WAZ (worked all zones) award, but, after almost 25 years in the hobby, I still need zones 23 and 26. I am the perfect definition of an underachieving ham. Hope I fit in here OK.

If you're not already bored nearly to death: I hold 3 FCC commercial licenses (Radiotelephone with Radar Endorsement, GMDSS Op and Maint., and Second Class Radiotelegraph). I'm also the author of a best-selling book on the history of the Second Amendment.

I will probably hide behind the "Dr. Detroit" moniker for awhile until I am sure that most people here are as crazy as I am. Eventually I'll share a link to my web page where a more complete recitation of lies is available (actually everything I wrote here is true ... for a change).

Welcome to the Island Doc. The first drink is on Pope Carlo I. The bartender will be by to take your order shortly. You'll probably find you're the only sane one here. The rest of us Islanders are Batshit crazy.

BTW The Mahi fishing is great. Especially down by the bar on the beach. Watch out for the crabs.

Welcome, Double-D :mrgreen:

How about something triple stout?

Welcome!

I'm just down the pike from you, and our paths have probably crossed at some point if you've made it to any of the area hamfests. A number of my friends are associated with CFARC and the MARC club in Massillon. Don't know if Goodyear's club is still around or not.

Welcome to the Island, Mon! :omg:

Welcome to the Island Dr.Detroit ...... did you get a Canadian callsign when you achieved that advanced qualification? ..... a nice feather in the cap! :agree:

Yes, and Industry Canada was kind enough to let me keep it after returning to the U.S., since I continue to have a station address in Toronto that suits their requirements.

I'll never forget the day I called the Canadian amateur radio office (at the time I believe they were still called Communications Canada, before it was consolidated to Industry Canada) to see if I could get a callsign containing my initials. I was fully prepared to pay a fee, fill out paperwork, and wait it out, as we've become accustomed to doing with the FCC. The representative's response was, "No problem, that call is available, and I just put it through for you. You can use it from now on. Have a nice day." That's the kind of government agency I can dig.

I'm going to try to make the big hamfest this Sunday at the fairgrounds in Berea.

Yeah. Everyone knows it should have been on a bagel.

Nah. You don't do something like THAT to a bagel.

Well, except maybe those frozen things that Lenders sells as bagels... but not real ones.

Funny, you don't look like Dan Aykroyd.

Welcome, welcome. 2nd drink is on my tab. Feel free to borrow my beach chair, down on the south side of the outside bar. It's the one with the unobstructed view of the attire-optional ladies-only beachfront... don't tell my wife...

Hi Doc. I am in the process of moving to east of Cleveland. I will soon be operating 2M FM from the 22nd floor. I hope to work some Islanders nearby soon. I don't know if you are weird enough for this group, but 'normal' is a math term. It's all good.:cool2:

Welcome to The Island Dr. D...
The collection of personalities here is a little unusual and not for everyone.
Frankly, I can't wait till late November when the tension subsides just a little.
I do hope you find a home here and enjoy your stay.
...and do wear your glasses around the bar, we've lost three eyes already this year do to malfunctioning Chinese drink umbrellas and one unfortunate drunken EZ-hang antenna party mishap. ;)

Thanks for all the welcome notes. This Island is a goodly, righteous and blessed land, and I shall dwell here.

Grass skirts are hanging on the fence on the pier nearest the shore. You will find yours there. Optional thigh straps are available for those who need them at the concierge's office located on the mezzanine in the Alpha Hotel. Custom tailoring available.

Welcome! What part of Upstate are you considering?

Please don't wait for the villagers to pretend that they are sane. The first thing a severely mentally ill person will tell you is that they are fine--its everyone else. Also, beware the guy that has put 3 of his eyes out. He only has 3 left now, and is getting a bit bitchy about it.

Stay away from the Island Girls--regardless of how they look in those flimsy grass skirts. You may get more than you bargained for...

P.S. Don't piss off the bartender. It is rumored that he will take a leak in the drinks if goaded. He is also the head resident cigar aficionado...

Back to Rochester, I hope. Do you use the WR2AHL system near Bristol Mtn.? Awesome wide-area repeater.

That's good to know. Here's hoping he's well-stocked with Arturo Fuente Hemmingway Classics.

How about something from Carlito Fuente's private vault?

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c7...ps50dd86f2.jpg

Can't tell you how but there it is.

OK, I just saw this. Allow me to contribute (better late then never)!

Hi, My name is Steve and I'm a Radioholic.

More about me:

Opinionated Asshole since 1961.

Retired OTR Trucker 1979-2006. 3,000,000 accident free miles in a big truck.

Ham since 2003, originally licensed as kcØrey.

Married to Mellisa KC9NSE, and father to Jeff (28 ) and Steven Jr. (13) that we know of.... (fast trucks and faster women).

And that pretty much encompasses who I am.
