life goes on......change of seasons........new radio gear etc...

greetings once again... not a whole lot going on lately.......its been raining pretty much constantly here..which i am thankful for.....less worry about forest fires.........noticed the dollar stores and even walmart have put out their fall crap already..and even a few bits of Halloween stuff....gees...seems to get earlier and earlier every year!! of course...Ive already considered, and decided upon, my Halloween marathon movies.....the first four hellraisers.....the only 4 of the whole franchise worth watching IMHO.... and of course, i will get my favorite Halloween candies.....although i may cut back from 3 this year to 2.....I usually get a bag of mounds, butterfingers and Reese's peanut butter cups.....i was considering not getting butterfingers.....we'll see......and of course a couple 2 liters of coke classic......and of course, Halloween is on Thursday this year..not a day off..so i may only get one movie watched...sigh......wonder if i can win the lottery, retire before October? heh...wishful thinking  =) other than that..Ive got some minor plumbing to do.....oh..almost forgot! I got some new radio gear! I got a mobile 2 meter/440 radio, an SWR meter, a nice soldering station, an external speaker, and a CW keyer! for 60 bucks! unheard of deal! turns out a fellow HAM has passed away, and a friend purchased all his equipment for a song and is in turn selling it for a song....i got beat to the hf radio unfortunately...although, i don't have an HF antenna so it would have been  bit pointless anyway..but i got some good stuff....i can at least have a radio in the house that doesn't require batteries! lol all i had before was my handy-talkie! lets see what else......I got a couple laserdiscs i was wanting and finally found affordable....rocky horror picture show, and scrooged with bill murray! i dont really collect laserdiscs, just wanted a few i remembered from the past......cant wait to watch them =) sigh..and i do mean SIGH! seems the seasons are once again starting to change and I am once again starting to think about winter.....the year absolutely flew by..once again..that really annoys me..especially since i didn't get to enjoy summer at all...working 6 days a week and all....and now that i have a couple days off, the weather isn't cooperating......double sigh....... Ive been trying to eat healthier and walk the dog more..but shes getting older and cant really walk as far as she used to.......it sucks not having time for anything.....triple sigh......i wish i could leave and just start a new life..but i cant...my folks are in failing health, especially dad, and i couldnt leave them if i wanted to......so life continues to suck.......quadruple sigh........ no sense bitching and whining about it..can't do anything about it.......one can dream....can't one?????........................until next time...
