Log #4 August 16th, 2001
This shall be a short update, but wanted to mention a few things. First,
is
have possibly (finally) got a job. A construction job no less, and
if all goes
well Monday, and the pay is good, I'll get to do what I wanted. I will
still
being searching out a good architecture firm to work at, but having a
steady
job while I search helps me be more discriminating.
The second thing I wanted to mention, which is a question all of you
have
been wondering about, "Has Jason been sun burned yet?". Well
yesterday
I really earned one. I went out for '3 hour tour' on boat with my
brother-in-
law, nephews Jason and Joey, and niece Kanani. I was suppose to put
sun
screen on after about an hour, but we experienced engine trouble and I
forgot
to apply the SPF 45 sun screen. Today I've been inside trying not to
let any-
thing touch my back, shoulders and chest. Because my face has been
exposed to the sun these past four weeks, it didn't burn at all, but the
very
white areas that never had exposer burned the worst. In the pictures
below
you'll see how white I was, as these where taken in the first 45 minutes.
The burn should be gone by Sunday and I'll have a nice golden tan.
The third thing I'll mention is I did get to another Skywarn event. This
time
it was the Basics I course offered at the Miami-Dade EOC (Emergency
Operations Center). I've been making my contacts and meet quite a few
hams (amatuer radio operators) but I haven't spent much time on the radio
or repeaters. I'm still working on getting the APRS up a running.....I
had to
have my folks send the TNC manual from Maryland to here cause I still
can't figure out the wiring configuration. Anyhow, I'm sure I'll have
it running
shortly. And with the new income that will be coming in, a new HT is
likely
to be in order. Check out the other updates and the pictures page,
I usually
post more there than here.
