    Seems pretty self explanatory to me OM. :twisted:

    I dunno. Take a slow glance around the Island. Do you notice that insanity IS the Islands' version of sanity?

    There is logic in your thinking .....The Island is a force in itself!

    Hey, you're talkin' about a guy who just dumped sixty bucks on freakin' toobs for a boat anchor he doesn't really need. If that don't count as insanity, I don't what does.
    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.

    Sixty bucks spent on "toobs" for a boat anchor is NOT insanity ........ I would spend that for any boat anchor I have and i'm not insane .....at least last time I checked I was'nt ...so nuff said

    Ah, but if you were insane, you wouldn't know it!

    Dumped sixty....DUMPED SIXTY BUCKS??? I'm insested. (Well I would have been if I had a sister) Dump is what a bear does in the woods. You made an INVESTMENT in the restoration of a highly desirable piece of electronic memorabilia, which only makes it more desirable to the amateur radio community, thus, furthering the interest in radio communications and making for a higher level of understanding and brotherhood amongst others of like interests not only locally, but globally, as well. No way in hell you'd catch me pissin away that kind of money on some glass shells somebody stuffed with some bits of metal and sucked the air out of. Ya crazy Bastid.

    At times, it seems like forever. However, no one will ever be able to call on me as often as she has. The good news is that she is just about ready to test for license. The bad news is she will never be "afflicted" with ham radio like most of are.
