Learning all about Satellite Internet and Wifi magic... Cool stuff but they really need to pave the road.

Always trust your friendly neighborhood car salesman for a good lead: Geoff at I-5 Toyota suggests getting the Brewers Sampler at the Pelican Pub. It's on Kiwanda Point in Pacific City, Oregon. That sounds like a good excuse to head down the coast, back to Tillamuck and beyond, after the Seaside hamfest in June.Geoff says all the food is great and suggests starting light and going dark on the

The TV news had a brief article on grammar. At the end of the show they highlighted that they had just then made a mistake between fewer and less. I won't admit I didn't know the difference but a quick search on Google gave this at EDUFIND.COM:To show difference: more, less, fewer + than Examples: With countable nouns: more

Finally, after months and months, fixed the layout on this home page. One option in the blogger.com blog engine was all it took to force the text below the items on the right column. Tricky stuff. I'll get the schedule updated tomorrow. Right now it's time to check fix vodall.com page off the to do list and hit the sack.

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours a day are not enough, REMEMBER the mayonnaise jar ..... and 2 cups of coffee .....A professor stood before his philosophy class. He picked up a large empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.The professor then picked up a box

Everything is easy and simple -- once you figure it out. I'm currently trying to figure it out on why the text of this page is only coming after the column on the right. I'll get it RSN -- real soon now.Bill

Now the bad boys and girls are even stealing pictures on the web. To prevent any possible trouble,and to further discourage robots from indexing here, a simple password has been placed on our online albums. Just drop either of us a note if you need the password.I've also organized the "big" pictures so their easier to store and retrieve. Even with high speed (sorta) Internet it took a couple days

I fixed the link on this page to the Seattle Traffic and the Weather back in Kevin, Mt... I had the Kevin weather on a posting and it fell off the page. So Dad - the link is now permanent on the page. As I'm writing this, it's -30 F, or -36C in Kevin. Brrrr. It's 27.5 right now in Centralia - thanks to the Chappell Family Citizens Weather Page. Hmm. I guess I should put that with the

I had a nice post about Sunshine warming up tents on bicycle trips and how the folks in Western Washington that eat at McDonalds don't park their cars to take advantage of the infrequent rays. Then I ran the spell checker. Silly Internet Explorer blocked the popup spell checker and I lost the posting. Lesson learned -- always Save as Draft before doing anything else.

Happy New Year everybody!!! 2004 was a good year. Interesting, educational, no terribly serious medical incidents. Thank you God for another year. 2005 is going to be a great year. Travel. Meeting new relatives. Business success. Adventures. It's all on the horizon. May we all live long and prosper..

Here's another book I recently finished. Lots of interesting trivia, background on good old products and real useful recipes. The book I read came from TRL but it's good enough that it definitely goes on the must have list. Any time we can replace some evil expensive commercial potion with a simple yet better product where we know (mostly) for sure what all the ingredients are -- it's a good

In the past couple weeks, I've read two books on Wifi... Both are excellent, in their own way. Stay tuned for details.

We're spending the turkey days (daze) with my folks in Kevin, Mt. Their computer said it was 447 days since defraged or drive tested. That's a long time. Here's the Kevin weather report No web cams in Kevin (yet) but there's a good one at the border crossing about 20 miles North of Kevin in Sweetgrass Glacier Park is about 60 minutes west of Kevin.

We saw a good movie, Sleeping With The Devil on the Lifetime channel last night. Thanks to the vast info on the Internet, I found the press releases on the real story the movie was based on. Seems the real thing was far more interesting then the movie. "The Janni Smith story is amazing. It's about a woman who was stalked and injured severely by a Houston millionaire and who fought back and

The first enty in over two years. It's also the first published to the web site hosted at the new colocated server no less. This could be the start of something. The tools at blogger.com seem to have evolved substantially since I was last here. I can see where this is going to be a valuable asset.

Starting to Blog - again? The DSP modem is starting to work. (DSP56002EVM in TAPR box), Wetnet dinner at Kent isn't until 7. I'll be picking Marcela up at the Broadview library and 6 and heading south from there. Today could see some serious progress on the many projects. * 9600 on the DSP modem - for Radio Mirror transmissions from the main workstation on the new Key Tower repeater. *

Maybe I'll use this BLOG as a means to write down the plans for the day... Who knows, it might get me back on the left side of Steve's Blog page. Today. Sunday. Marcela's day off. A couple interesting new projects: * JavAPRS postings by day or by DIGI * LoopHam Linux on the Windows box * Wi-Fi running on the old laptop are crying for attention. They'll stay on the back burner

It's getting close. Blogs are good. Need more blog talk - but first I'm moving the display of the entries from www.blogspot.com to my own server. Thank you Blogspot - you got me started. But control is everything and now I have control. At least half control. I'm still using Blogger to do the postings. Blogger is very good - but we don't have control...
