    Thumbs up Temporary AE !!!!

    Great big round of congrats to our bartender, who just texted me the good news.

    This calls for an on-the-air celebration/imbibathon as only The Island is capable of.

    Charles is going to text me with a frequency...or better still...let's all find one and get the party started. Say, oh-dark-thirty on 75M - maybe 40 if we can find a clear spot.

    Way to go, Barkeep! KG4CGC/AE!

    So--what's the frequency, Kenneth? With my pitiful little station I doubt that I can be heard out there on 75 m but I'll give it a try.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Thank You All. Each and everyone of you. Thanks to Jim for sending me the book. I was a bit cocky. I thought I could study it in a week like I did for General.
    Drove past the hamfest but didn't actually go in. Old lady. On the way back we stopped at that West**** something mall two exits north of HWY 321 on HWY 85. Old lady. On the way back we had to stop at that outlet mall in Gaffney. Off exit 90 on HWY 85 in SC. Old lady. You know the one, it has a Bose outlet store but there is nothing outlet deal about it. 25 seconds and I saw the entire line. It was more like a cellphone boutique. I walked to the other end and stepped into the Out Back steakhouse and went straight to the bar. One Dewars and one beer later I came back out, not feeling quite, adjusted.
    Oh well, still had another 50 miles to go.
    Home? No no, not yet. Old lady. Grocery shopping but not before, let's have dinner at ****'* ... OK. Beer. Fajita Beer. I had fish. Old lady had steak. I just wanted something light. OK, now grocery store and ... bloody Clemson traffic! Everybody hates Clemson traffic! Home? Eventually.

    Home ... loose dog ... cats in trees ... mosquitoes en-mass.
    Catch dog ... feed dog ... talk cats down ... feed cats ... mosquito bite salve ... warm air leaking out of ears ... brain farts.


    All of this would be of little significance, but, I went to bed at 12:30AM and laid there with my eyes closed until 4AM. Got up and drank a beer ... laid in bed some more with my eyes closed. So I got up and turned the computer on and turned on TWC and listened to Earl. Popped back on the Island. Rolled over and closed eyes. Laid in bed with eyes closed for 3 more hours and the 8AM alarm went off. Reset alarm for 10AM. I think I sort of slept.

    Ugh! Whatever! Coffee! Shower! Help Old lady with her knee scooter. (old lady foot surgery two weeks ago) Review map! Go!

    Thanks Again Everyone! Each and all of you!
    Should I get coffee?
