Things Do Change, I Guess...

Well gang, things do not necessarily go as planned. The trip to Magnolia had to be postponed, and there were good reasons for that. It will be rescheduled and the trip and intended installations will take place.

I have also made changes to my website. For quite some time I had planned to set up a STORM SPOTTER CENTRAL section on my website. I had done a lot of work on it but much more needed to be taken care of. I never had the time to do what was needed and I also realized that there were several out there that didn't like the idea of such information to be made available by yours truly. Work constraints had also played a role in my lack of time. So I decided to just drop the idea for now. The SSC section could return, but for now it's simply on the back burner.

I did have a hair-raising event happen last night. For those who don't know, I have sleep apnea...and it can be a problem. It started back in the late 80s when I began to gain weight and it continues to this day. Well, last night I had a pretty bad apnea case. My throat had tightened up and some stomach bile had backed up into my throat at the same time. I woke up and it took a long time for me to get my breath back but I did. It was pretty scary.

At least I know what happened and what caused it. Simply put, my diet is totally out of whack and I do not get enough exercise at all. I know what to do and how to do it and I'm going to put an end to this. For those who have sleep apnea, you know exactly what I'm talking about. For those who don't, look it up and read about it. It's actually a pretty dangerous condition!

I'll keep everyone posted from time to time on how I'm doing with my diet changes and such. My exercise will commence TODAY, and I plan to involve Amateur Radio by way of crossband repeating off the 147.180 W5BCR repeater. I've done it quite a few times and it's fun!

Stay tuned...
