Might Help

I was just looking at some pipe clamps as I’m going to be adding antennas for my Ham Radio gear.

What I want to do is mount a tripod to our roof, maybe even two of them, and then masts to each (5 Ft Max) to which the antenna would be mounted.  With the antenna at the very top. I could use the pipe clamps lower down  on the mast to which I could add additional antennas for different bands.

Just don’t tell Karen of my plans.  Deal?

Puffin Away

Spent several days, different times here in Scottsdale in the hospital and now that I have been home for close to two weeks and getting more or less back to normal, I have to tell you that I’d like to take a puff  or two on a cigar from a box of  al capone cigars.

I’m not a smoker but do like the taste of cigars.  Don’t need to be surrounded with other people, just me and my cigar.  If it weren’t so darn hot, been over 100 degrees the past few days, I’d take it out on our patio.

From the Back of the Limo

It’s fun to travel, and I love Florida but never got a chance to see Tampa.  Maybe I should take Karen there and we can ride in a limo that we found on tampalimotransportation.com

One of my fond memories from childhood was when I visited my father’s Mom back in Greenwich, Conn.  My family was already there and I flew by myself from Denver to New York.

What I remember is the ride from New York to Conn and sitting in the back of a Cadillac Limo.  A car full of kids, younger than I pull aside of the limo and I gave them a simple wave. I felt on top of the world!

I never thought of this

You should visit fiberfill today and you will find a lot of ideas about doing things for your home.

What I was amazed with is that on the visit, you can come up with all sorts of different stuff that will make your house more fun for the people and the pets.

In our hose there are two people and two pets but lately both Karen and I have been thinking a lot of about how we can make are pets, one cat, one dog, feel more at home.

New Antenna

Recently the antenna we had on our house here in Scottsdale for my radio equipment got blown down.  Because of that, I have not been able to transmit at all.

I have a need for a new antenna, this time rather than a wire antenna I think I will install a vertical .  I might even need LSP ceramic insulators, to insure that the antenna is installed correctly.  I’m sure Karen will be glad for that!

It was windy yesterday.

I’m glad that we had good windows on our house yesterday cause it got very windy and stayed that way most of the day. We have Pella Windows and you can find them at hampton va windows.

I told my wife that it was nice to be able to sit inside and watch the wind blowing but not be affected one bit.  Then she decided her dog needed a walk. So much for staying out of the wind. Thankfully he did his business down wind from us.

Several Months Ago

It has been several months since I suggested to my father-in-law, Pastor Jack, that he look at church chairs by chairs4worship .  Since Karen and I have not been able to make the trip over to San Diego where he has his church, I don’t know if he followed my suggestion.

I can’t think of any reason why he wouldn’t, I’m a great son-in-law.
