How could he work for both airlines at same time -- and then fired from one but able to keep working in sensitive position at the other -- what the hell is really going on!!?!

I have been on-air intermittently since 2012 and have made a few hundred contacts around the world.  Here is link to my QRZ pages...there are some tabs part way down the page (not the ones at top of page) labeled "BIOGRAPHY, DETAIL, LOGBOOK and AWARDS".

Balloon launched from World Scout Jamboree floats across the Atlantic Ocean

The fact that something so small and low-cost was able to cross the Atlantic Ocean is, in my opinion, amazing.  Had to be pretty exciting for the scouts involved.  Well done Scouts!!

What is a CURMUDGEON?

Viewpoint on what a Curmudgeon is and does.  Most likely not what you think.

Unblocking Writer's Block

What is Writer's Block?  ":a psychological inhibition preventing a writer from proceeding with a piece..." https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/writer's%20block?src=search-dict-box

Febreze/Cooler Update #3

One reason, in my opinion, why the Febreze I put in my swamp cooler did not last...

Febreze/Swamp Cooler Update #2

Yesterday I added twice as much Febreze to the Swamp Cooler...

Febreze in Swamp Cooler Update

My experiment with the Febreze in the swamp cooler may not have worked as well as hoped...

Febreze in the Swamp Cooler Water

I bought a refill bottle of FEBREZE Extra Strength Fabric Refresher, non-aerosol, today to try it in the swamp cooler.  The hope was I'd be able to put a small amount in the water in the bottom of the swamp cooler and it would continuously blow into the house when the cooler is running.

Done adjusting settings & options here

I've deleted a post or two, which were written and published to test changes I made while exploring some of the functions available on this Blog service. I think I have finished mucking about with the settings and layout.  Will leave it as it appears now, and begin using the blog, rather than wasting more time playing with the options, etc.

Now, what shall I "blog" about...?

WELCOME

Welcome to my newly created Blog. It is a work-in-progress currently, as I learn to use the various settings, layout options, etc. so bear with me if it changes a lot each time you visit. Thanks for visiting, and feel free to give any advice you may have regarding the layout -- if you think it should be rearranged differently let me know. What looks OK to me, may look confusing or disorganized to someone seeing it for the first time...so point out any mistakes you see, or changes you think might make it better.

I'll make pages for various subjects, as soon as I learn how...

I will probably change layouts a bunch of times -- as well as change colors for text, background, etc., so it will probably look a lot different each time you visit, until I get tired of playing with it like a new toy.
