Today I stopped by my local library and checked out a book.  The 1980 edition of the ARRL’s Amateur Radio Handbook to be exact.  While some of the rules and regs are out of date, the electronics theory and information is just as accurate as it ever was.  Since I’m considering winding some coils for [...]

Just when I want to get back in gear, I get sick again. I’m finally getting over it now after seeing the doc, so I’m hoping to hit the ground running again quickly.

Its been a very trying last couple of weeks.  I’m falling behind a little in a couple of areas.  Time to put the nose to the grindstone and catch back up.

I read an article on the Huffington Post where a small town mayor is being raked through the coals over this photoshopped picture he forwarded out depicting the front lawn of the Whitehouse replaced with rows of growing watermelons.  The mayor in question claims he didn’t understand the racial reference and did not intend to [...]

Still going strong!  I’m tending to slack off a little on my blogging goal though, so I need to be careful there.

We’ve filed our taxes and are eagerly awaiting our return so we can apply a majority of it towards our Debt Snowball and take a significant jump towards our goal.  We have however decided to take a portion of it and upgrade our TV.  We’re currently using a 27″ CRT style that we bought shortly [...]

I’m feeling very good about my progress this week.  I was home sick yesterday so I ate more sodium (threw off my weight) and watched more TV than normal, but that is an exception, not the rule.  Overall I did well if yesterday is factored out.

Its almost that time of year again.  Boise Code Camp!  Always a good time, and a great learning experience.  I’ve met many new friends there, and I’ve also run into friends I haven’t seen in a while.  This year it falls on Saturday, March 28th, and will be held at Boise State University.  This is [...]

Where did January go? It seems like it was only yesterday that I was mulling over the goals I wanted to set, and now I’ve made it almost 10% through the year and doing well with my goals.  Don’t most goals get dropped sometime in February?  I’m not going to be that statistic this year.

Four weeks in, I can’t believe it has been a month.  Overall I’m doing wonderful, though I’m a little frustrated with my weight.  I’m following the program, I know what I’m eating and burning thanks to the Bodybugg I wrote about yesterday, yet I’m on a plateau.
