Evening Everyone !!!

Just got home from the VA , Doctor said I'm in perfect health for my age but my blood pressure is borderline 128/ 86 . He wanted to know my activity level and told him I do 60 pushups , 50 sit ups and walk an average of 2.5 miles and was shocked at how active I am

He said I'm very active for my age group but to be cautious of injuries or overdoing it . we also talked about my shoulders being painful and ordered x rays also ordered lab work which I took care of before I left and left 4 vials of blood for them


Took me forever to get home with a all the Vegas bound traffic . it took me near an hour to climb the Cajon Pass with all the traffic

 

59 and holding lol! The time sure does fly Mike.

I watched the Ken Burns Vietnam Documentary that aired back in September, and it was really interesting. He did a great job on explaining the war from the very start of that campaign to the end. That’s awesome you have a chance to meet him Mike!

MEMO

Re: Replacement of Mouse Balls.

If a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Mouse balls are now available as FRU (Field Replacement Units). Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by properly trained personnel.

Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon the manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop off method. Domestic balls are replaced by using the twist off method. Mouse balls are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden discharge. Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be used immediately.

It is recommended that each person have a pair of spare balls for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction. Any customer missing his balls should contact the local personnel in charge of removing and replacing these necessary items.

Please keep in mind that a customer without properly working balls is an unhappy customer.

Fox hunt is what it was called when I was younger and played with the idea of getting my ham license . Who ever had the best DF equip and a helper usually won. I still thing about getting one now and as I understand it is even easier no code etc just basics and principals etc. Never had much more then a basic cb tuned a little and maybe a small pair of boots back then lol

I've dabbled in tv antenna reception. There are a few reception prediction web sites out there that will give you an idea of what is needed. Antennaweb.org is one. They provide a fairly decent estimate for an outdoor set up. If the channels your looking to receive are all UHF, then the channel master 4228 is a good choice. If channels are from significantly different directions (say more than 90+ degrees apart), then you'd most likely need a rotator. If you need a signal booster, the channel master 7777 preamp is top notch. If you run a signal report and post the result, I may be able to make a suggestion. If you're looking for an inside antenna, then all bets are off as there are too many variables to recommend any particular set up.

 

who likey? yeah,mikey. time to make my lunch for THURSDAY!!

 

You live in Maine you do not need insurance you will be freeze dried long before you pass from a medical issue :}
