Sunday strangeness...

Today was a reird day, I was feeling a little under the weather.  I got a headache about mid afternoon today, heard from a buddy of mine, that i was just about to call, I had the phone in my hand heading to his number in my contact list, when the phone rang...weird......I took a nap late this afternoon, and dreamt I worked in a football factory......ev erytime i would finish a football and pick it up..it would deflate in my hands......they alway had a pinhole in thewm somewhere..sounds like the story of my life..hehe......now, checking my facebook and twittter etc..nothing much going on..saw a good movie last night....."howl" about allen ginsberg when he wrote Howl, and the subsequent obsenity trial, which he won of course!!! the movie had quite a bit of homosexual tones and visuals..of course, Allen was homosexual......the animations that went along with his reading of howl were amazing......it was kind of a biography of Allen of a sort....i really liked it, as far as they read the entire poem throughout the movie......all in all a good movie...now, seeing as i'm still about 3 or 4 months behind...i'm going to go read some readers digests......until next time...

saturday evening......

Its Saturday evening right now, and i'm resting after a semi eventful day..it was super windy like it has been for well over a week now...I put up, finally, a new bigger better antenna a ham club friend gave me.  I hope no one else gives me a newer better antenna for awhile, I dont feel like taking that freakin pole down again..hopefully next antenna willbe atop my tower, which currently resides under the house in 4 seactions.....I even did a bit more spring cleaning in the shed today, i threw out abunch of old magazines etc, and broke down some unneeded boxes, the trash bag was so heavy i almsot couldnt lift it!! but thankfully its in the trash bin now...Tomorrow, I will be working on my mountain bike for some of the day, and may a bit more spring cleaning in the shed tomorrow..we'll see how my arm feels tomorrow.....I dont know what I did, but it feels like I massively pulled a muscle in my right arm....its been extremely sore the last week or so, and very stiff......ive had to take aspirin just to get to sleep the last few days....probably wont be able to move it at all tomorrow..oh well!!! and I'll also be finishing laundry tomorrow as well..another full day i guess...until next time...

TGIF..whatever....

Thats right, it is once again friday...big deal.....heh......I'm hoping this weekend will be nice enough weather that I can put up my newest antenna, looks like the old one only fiberglass and bigger..and dual band!!! maybe be able to hit a satellite or two!! anyway......I found out today I'm not getting as big a refund as i thought i was getting from the good old IRS...seems I miscalulated a couple lines on my return....i'll check it out when i get home......we'll see......i'm still getting a refund so i guess its not a total loss......Had a nice breakfast with my ham radio club this morning..and finally got my R.A.C.E.S badge!!!!! I'm official!!!  no real plans this weekend..except the aforementioned new intenna installing......but knowing mom, she'll come upwitha  honey-do list......just my luck.....actually......if i do get my antenna up, i may just continue with spring shed cleaning..and hook up a signal amp and power supply a ham friend gave me......so much for the honey-do list!!!!!! and of course..laundry! weekly ritual it seems!!!! and as some of you have notied..ive all of a subben become active to a degree on youtube......its pretty easy to make vids on my droid and upload them....so maybve i'll make more! until next time......

It's officially Spring!! so why is it freakin snowing!!!!!

Yesterday was the official firt day of spring!! and today! its snowing!! typical Overgaard weather..does it every year...why it constantly surprises me I dont know......and of course, the snow was preceded by high winds..up ariound 40 mph......and that of coure means, my allergies are absolutely killing me.....needless to say I've been living on allergy pills the last couple of days...which also means i was laying low so i couldnt get anythnig done this weekend..except laundry of course......I wanted to put up an even better antenna than i have now ont he shed, hok up the signal amp and power supply a friend gave....er sold me......continue spring cleaning in the shed, and the previously aforementioned bedroom closet, amongst other things on my huge to do list......bah! leave it to the weather to screw things up!!! hehe.....until next time......

Spring! and Friday!!!

This Sunday is the forst day of spring! oh joy! and I'm already in the throws of spring and summer planning, getting the garden ready, starting to work on cleaning and organizing the shed, and misc closets...aka spring cleaning! also, i'm hearing early rumoura concerning Jimmy Buffett Summer concerts......maybe i'll look into seeing if I can get a ticket, and become an official parrotheat!! I'm assuming hes recovered from his stage fall several months ago...Ya know Jim..you're getting too old for stage diving! maybe they need to put a giant margarita infront of the stage and he can fall into that!!! thatd be a cool end to the concert!!! I'm hoping I can get the shed in shape enough to use it as my ham shack..at least for the summer..maybe i can get a small heater for the winter..who knows....winter is along way off......I'm also hoping i can get in a few rounds of golf this year..didnt play at all last year...going to make a great effort to play this year..or at least get to the range a few times to get warmed back up......as far as shed and closet cleaning, I'm looking for a TV stand that had a place for all my hme theater components, so i can get rid of the huge component case next to the closet, it makes it hard to get into the closet with it there...as for my turn table, a small table will work just fine......even space under the table for whatever records i feel like bringing in......as soon as i can dig my records out fo the shed that is....Also, i want to clear up space so i can install a cd/dvd/bluray floor to ceiling case on the wall next to the closet so i can get all the boxes of dvd's and cd's out of the closet to make room......ive got boxes and boxes of old magazines i cant figure out why i kept....seeing as i can now get all of them on a dvd, or online......its amazing what you found useful and didnt want to get rid of last year, you cant figure out why you still have it this year, or what purpose it originally served..and of course, next year after youve thrown it away you'll wish you still had it!!!!! AINT THAT THE TRUTH!!! and of course, i forgot the most important annual weekend activity! LAUNDRY of course!!!!! ive also got tons and tons of tools and nuts and bolts and washers etc scattered all over the shed i need to get organized...Ya, I know, i promise to get organized every year, and end up getting even more cluttered, but this year feels different...strangely....do you all remember when i was saying, i feel change in the air..a very subtle feeling that was getting stronger all the time..but stayed barely perceptible? well, that feeling is back, it went away for awhile, now its back, now that ive started the early organizing and summer planning, that very subtle feeling is here again, barely noticible, change is in the air......weird, i hadnt felt that for so long i amsot didnt recognize it..of course, it may have been there the whole time i just hadnt payed attention, but its a tad stronger than it used to be...so we'll see what happens......channge is a fickle beast, it can be almost undetectable...or it can crash in on you without mercy........I also want to get my Mountain bike in shape so i can do some serious riding this year..i'll probably have only one day off a week over the summer, so i'll have to make the best of it...i found a new saddle for it online..REI has some really good prices, so i'm going to order it this weekend, and i'm still shopping for new pedals......I hope i can handle some intense rides, i'm hurtung all the time now, perhaps arthritis, but hopefully i can get to feeling better with exercise, lord knows, i dont get any now :P   I'm also looking forward to the 4th of July seeing as fireworks are legal in Az now!!! and we even have a fireworks store in Snowflake now!! and  Black Cat store at that!!! best fireworks made IMHO well, this has been a long winded post, ive got to blog more regularly so they dont have to be so long winded.....until next time...... 

My First Geocache!!!

As you all have probably gathered by the title of this blog..i found my first geocache!! oh joy! oh Rapture! hehe, it was an easy one, it was under a fake rock infront of a carved bear......now i'm stoked to start looking for more..gotta get my gps updated and fresh batteries installed so i can go looking for more......hopefully even hide one myself this summer..ya never know =) well, ive had an eventful weekend so far, helped a couple radio club friends take down an antenna, and even put one up myself! on the shedm where the old and nbow useless tv arial used to be...seems to be working, but i'll test further in the next few days to confirm.....today, finish laundry, maybe start spring cleaning in my shed and room...who knows..i think i might have a nasty cold/flu, so we'll see how bad i feel later......i still have to untangle and roll up the guy wires i picked up yesterday and store them somewhere....but first things first, its lunch time, and not sure what i am gonna have...as bad as i feel right now, this may be a down day...who knows....until next time...

gees..that long?!?!?!?!?!

its been quite awhile since i posted, sorry once again...lets see, this morning, around 10 am, i helped a couple of amateur radio friends move some antennas etc. i even scored some guy wires for my tower that will go up someday.....Its extremely nice weather today, so I'm going to put up a 2 meter antenna on my shed finally, keep procrastinating, but i'll get it done today finally, and who knows what else i'll do this weekend, was thinking about cleaning up my garden a bit, maybe tomorrow, of course weekly laundry......um....pretty uneventful work week, thankfully...I woke up with a massive headache yesterday morning that lasted all day.....I was afraid i was coming down with something, but i feel pretty ok today...again thankfully...right now, its 12:29 pm, aka lunch o'clock, and iu feel like having tuna...also, when i finally get the antenna out of my shed and onto a pole(its huge btw, barely fits through the door) I am going to go on a massive cleaning, rearranging, and inventorying(sp?) frenzy, my room and closet as well, too much crap and not enough storage space..sheesh..maybe i'll check into a storage space locally, way my luck goes, theyll go out of business and i'll lose access..hehe...... and I am going to make an effort, a great effort, to go geocaching this summer, also, play a few rounds of golf etc, and not let it matter that i will be working weekends, well, saturdays at least...well, without further adieu...until next time...
