it was 3 years ago today @ 8:03pm liftoff that I took my helicopter ride down to Georgetown U. Hospital and had my brain operation 3 days later.

And we're glad you're still with us OM, and that you made that ride.
Here's to many more years of Mod-U-Lating.
Hold fast.

DATS GUDT Tim,
As long as they did not try to do any re-programming while you were on standby.
I occasionally look back about 4 yrs when the cancer thing was going on and the death CHEMO treatments and a newborn in the mix. My wife took the big hit and took care of everything, BUT I would not want to re-live those days ever again!! Cancer and a newborn baby......PERIOD!

Indeed, Derb. you've shown clearly that 'down' doesn't have to mean 'out'. And your regular progress reports show that the munkey is close to swingin' once again. That's known as thrashing the competition.  |

Nah. Talking about life is never self-indulgent.

Hi Derb:
“it seems self indulgent almost now to talk about it.”
Grab the Tabasco, yer favorite brew, and indulge!
The world is Your oyster OM!.
BTW: While I was working on different speech amp designs my 4 yr old daughter would ask what’s that?, pointing to the plate current meter, I said that’s the monkey. Now she asks “ Dad is the monkey swinging big yet ? ” Thanks!
Also what freq and TOD do you work? Would like to work you some time.
Best Regards
Ted / KC9LKE

I need it to learn how to work faster mostly. While I was working on different speech amp designs my 4 yr old daughter would ask what’s that?, pointing to the plate current meter, I said that’s the monkey. Now she asks “ Dad is the monkey swinging big yet ? ” Thanks! Ted, that made my week. year.  when she gets old enough to know what a metaphor is, tell her that the monky can be whatever she wants it to be...but you gotta keep it swingin! |
