Now I spend time looking for flags, and stories to go with them, if possible.

LOL! Sorta like work, ain't it. :-)

I wish we could have finished watching the program on the Fletcher Class Destroyers.

Like you said, they will re-run it, we just have to pay attention to when. But look at it this way, we were able to leave in time to see "Man on Fire" and that was a pretty good flick!

Cool. You don't have to cook!

[Soaring Feather]

Right on snippy!! No cooking today.

No man is poor who has had a godly mother. —Abraham Lincoln

Yes I really like that one.

Lousy weather yesterday, rain almost all day and only 46.. Today is a little better it's now 52 and a threat of rain.

[SAMWolf]

We had light rain yesterday on and off. Sorta sunny this morning.

Ham Radio ops still do this quite frequently. In the Ham community this is called Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) communication.

The 30foot dish used by KL6M on 432MHz, 1296MHz and 2304MHz.

The "Mighty Big Array" used by W5UN on 144MHz. This array required 1 acre of ground to turn 360 degrees.

Ain't that the truth!

In the Ham community this is called Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) communication.

Neat! Is it just for fun or does it serve a purpose? Not that just for fun isn't a purpose in itself. ;-)

We're a Nielson family this week. The logbooks started this past thursday. The same thursday hyped on ever TV and braodcast radio station in the know universe ,due to the end of the NBC show. BTW, I quit watching any NBC programming about 6 years ago.

The results for thursday viewing:
1/2 hour of noon news. Those $2 million 30 second ads fell on no ears in our house.

[snippy_about_it]

Leave it on the History Channel all week. :-)

[SAMWolf]

Cool. We got to be a Neilson family about 9 years ago.

A Woman's Song

A Woman's Song

Hark to the heart of a woman's song!
Hark to the sound of sorrow!
Hear her wailing in the night air?
Agony so deep night creatures hear, cringe with pain!
Hark to the heart of the woman's song!

Hark to the sound of happiness...

Hear the laughing in the moor and bog of ancient days,
careening down the valleys of time.
Hark to the sound of a mother singing softly--
to the child she holds near her heart.

Oh Heart of my Heart, I love you with all my breath and life!

Heart of my Heart.

My four daughters, fair, the RJ's of my life.
When you were babes in arms, I but a child myself,
I did love and cuddle you,
sometimes I was scared, for you, for us
I could all but hold on.

Hark to the song of a woman's heart,
seasoned and tempered by assaults of life.
Salted in brine of experience and tears.
Marked by skin stretching across the bone of contention.
Of ignorance and superstition, of damnation!

Hark to the sound of a grandmother's heart
singing praise, joy, happiness,
for the battle was worth it.

Popping in for a sec while guzzling some Gatorade......dang, it's HOT out there! LOL! Got one yard mowed and heading back out to get the other one done. But before I go, here's a little something special for everyone
