Hi again.

Just thought I'd update everyone on a few things in my world up here in the 
still semi-frozen north country of central lower Michigan.  Why do I say the 
still-semi-frozen north country??  Well, believe it or not, we're suppose to 
have a rain/snow mix here late tonight and tomorrow, even though the 
calender says tomorrow is May 12th.

First, I won't be on the 40-meter round table today.  This past week has 
been a killer at work with 10 to 12-hour days, due to end-of-the school year 
activities, including two graduation ceremonies yesterday.  I have a few 
hours this afternoon to get some things done that I've been neglecting for 
weeks, so better get to them, before we go out to dinner with some friends 
tonight.

Even though I will still have to work this summer due to my Department Head 
position, things should now slow down a bit, so that at least I'll be able 
to take some vacation time from week to week, and only need to work the 
standard normal work day hours Monday through Friday.  My periodic vacation 
time will begin this week, with Thursday and Friday being my first set of 
days off.

Our RV has had to go into the shop for service work on the refrigeration 
unit, but at least the repairs are covered by warranty, so the repair 
expenses  shouldn't be much out of our pocket other than a small deductible.

Hopefully, later this week, we'll get the RV back, and get it out to the 
camp site.  Then, I can put my G5RV back up and get back on the air out 
there, hopefully by the week-end.

Finally, due to my wife's latest medical issues, we will not be making the 
pilgrimage to Dayton this year, so for those of you that will be going, have 
a great time, and let's plan for next year.
