Catch up
I’ve been silent for a while, things as always have been super busy. Quick catch-up…
1) I went diving on my yearly Hornby Island trip the first weekend of the month. This is a trip I’ve been taking for nearly 10 years now with a bunch of friends from MSFT. It is always fun, I don’t even mind the long drive up there because I get to take six ferry boat rides. And I love ferry boat rides. :-)
2) My birthday weekend we drove to Oregon for the Rickerall hamfest. This is my favorite ham fest, mainly because it was the first I ever went to and also because they continue to have a decent flea market. Well this year you really noticed the pending changes in ham radio. The back building was nearly empty of tables, but even that said it was still better then any ham fest in Washington. Since we were down in Oregon, we spent the night with my parents. It was fun, the weather was sort of nice and I got to run around the fields with Isaac and give him a horse ride.
3) Last weekend was sort of catch up and being sick. It started out Friday night with going to a dinner and movie with Rosie. (Again for my b-day) Isaac did great with the sitter, he wasn’t freaked out about it or anything. Then Saturday we all went to Alki beach and played, it was still a little cold, but was starting to feel like spring. Then Sunday Isaac started getting sick and started running a fever. We ended up hanging out most of the day at home watching movies and stuff like that.
I’m now hiding out in Tully’s trying to get my yearly review wrote. I’m tired of writing up stuff that already happen, about stuff which probably won’t have any significant impact on my review. (Which is basically already done) One really good thing which happen is that I nailed down the last speaker for the MicroHAMS digital conference. So I have a full agenda now, which takes a huge load off my mind.
