Good to hear from you Geoff.  Sounds as if you need to move!

YOWZERS!!!

Well, whaddaya, whaddaya......

Tooling around the innertubes updating my log etc...thought I would drop in and say Hi to all!
Yup, I am a radio ham!

Internet activity extremely sporadic for me these days, I get online maybe once in three months. Things stumbling along out here - about 58 murders a day in a country of about 45million pop. Gov is now readily admitting they don't have money for the things they promised back then, corruption is rife and rampant, we will be like Zimbabwe inless than ten years. FIFA World cup was a crippling expense - stadia have yet to be paid for etc. It's all a sad joke, really.

The good news is that we are plodding along, happy and safe and now living in a place where can at least get to keep our stuff safe. It got a bit much having to load the linen and pots and hi-fi in the car whenever we went out at night just so we would have some stuff to sleep under and cook in when we got back.We got burgled and robbed a total of 14 times in 7 years - living in three different places. The last time I caught and forcefully arrested a bloke rifling through my old VW Kombi one Saturday morning outside the bank - that may have been number 15 - I dunno, I lost count maybe. So eventually the mag declared him to be a habitual and he got 16 years, should be out in about 3 or whatever. So it goes, as Mr Vonnegut once wrote.

Did a bit of writing, got some published and made a bit of money, got my PC with all my research, drafts, ready to go stuff etc stolen. Yeh, the backups on CD-ROM were stashed in a briefcase in a cupboard, but that got taken too. Working now for a local representation of the DANA Corporation - worst company I ever worked for...I am not saying that DANA is, I have no idea, but their local op is a bit grim. But not as bad as a sweatshop, I guess.

Anyway, family is well and fine, amateur radio is something I have wanted to do for forty years, eventually got around to it.
Studying for qualification as a hypnotherapist....

Hope you are all well, the site is superb! Nice one Bill and Rebecca.

Peace all! Oh, and a belated Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
