Been busy, a bit of gardening..

Owdo
It'll be night in Hong Kong then.
Last of the stones put out, the fence painting, the start of removing all the leaves for the next few months...

You call 4:55 early? You get back to sleep. Not quite as early as I were thinking though.
What'd you do without her...
Here's for continuing good news on the hossie front.

Can't you apply heat and force anything in it back out, when not on the printer. Or is that considered as part of the lifespan.
Tricky do?

Printed forms filled in and returned. Cheques written out, envelopes and stamps...
Still to fill it out online though, cut and paste from a saved document for name and address... Still don't do online banking though missen.
You could have the form in the first post of the day with you posting the times at 4am though.

Not "Grandpa" or "Grandad".. She'll get there, as will her younger half.

Doesn't sound good, as though it's not clearing up.

I'm usually doing a crossword at that time...

Its like radio and the act of QSL cards, still done the old way, bunch of actual cards, filled in etc, sent to Bureau, cards stacked in countries then sent abroad, there they separate them into batches to be sent to QSL managers (say GM4 - GM7), sent out then the manager separates to each individual call then packs envelopes (we supply ready to be posted (SAEs).
I'm sure there has to be a way that it could all be done digitally. There are some electronic websites, but the worry of people faking contacts kind of kills that. Technically, there is no need for a physical card (says he who has sent over 2,000), I only reply to what arrives for me.
If someone has the goodness to send me one, it is only proper I return the favour. The main award program is the ARRL LoTW (US based), you option to join..I upload my daily log, it gets cross-checked and next day I download any previous contacts that are verified and I can check what my standings are, not all use it though. Complicated

I don't mind, I called my dad by his name too...
Think a chippy tea tonight....

Trouble staying asleep?
And I bet you do the crossword online, not with pen on paper.

You ever thought of applying for one of those manager posistions?
You should have got the sorting out to a fine art by now.
If AI comes into the system they should be upto spotting the contacts where there's been no contact. A similar log from your contact should exist for instance. None and it doesn't get counted.
Suppose there's no quick code to confirm they want a card sending or not.
If it went computerised, do you feel you'd be going up or down in the standings. And would yer hard working in producing a printing template not be wasted?
Either way doesn't sound easy, one can give you writers cramp, the other RSI.

Yer been teaching her bad habits again by sound o'things...
Chippy tea! What price are they up those parts.

Going by the frequency of them changing often, nah....
I'm not influenced by my standings in anything, I'm doing it for the hobby, learning and enjoying taking part, self-training and all that jazz..
Of course, like getting contacts outside Europe but hey, any contact is welcome, I have over 56,000 logged..
Another 20 odd today again...

On a bio on QRZ and elsewhere, I have indicated I'm willing to exchange cards by mail, saying If you want one? I'll post you.
on QRZ
I'm 1,765 in most confirmed
I'm 16,661 in countries worked
I'm 9,746 in countries/bands worked..
I'll take that...
It's one of these rare hobbies, the more you spend, the best the equipment depends on how GOOD the antenna is..

I'll have to ask Mrs M, normal supper does two pensioners, £9.20p I think...two decent-sized haddock and plenty chips, does the two of us....
I texted Mrs M..she's downstairs
Bread by a Mr Sainsbury, not a Waynesbury...

Not as easy do as you made it sound then. Making certain every card is sent to the right person...
No interest in how you did this year compared to last year, and whether you are keeping yer contacts in a similar number or not. Any contacts not from this planet yet? Believe they've had one or two of your kind onboard the ISS in recent years.
Over 56,000 logged says the man who says he's not counting anything.
Ay, the most expensive equipment is only as strong as any part of it.

Does two!
For that price you'd be looking at half a fish apiece, and be sharing an ever smaller portion of chips. She keep the largest fish for herself...
Keeping the noise down or busy doing something else when you sent the text. Does no-one talk to anyone else these days?
Any difference in the bread?

 

[Bobby Mhor]

Good morning
A long lie this AM (it is the day of rest)
I'm allowed...

A decent one today right enough. It is indeed...
Does everyone else agree with you though!

My logging prog can itemise everything,
much easier this way AS LONG as you back everything up, three places per day.
If it all goes 'them' up then I get to start again which I'm looking at a fresh sheet every turn of the year but still keep the main log going..
Life now is just facts and figures.
In my so called paper log ( now at 1948 pages, see what I'm doing here?) I have adapted a calc sheet I use for it and have drop-down cells with various info, I did two yesterday for RX and TX numbers, I could just fill manually quicker but thought this could be fun..
I'm getting more use to it.

Supper, I would struggle with one now for myself, good sized fish and a fair portion of chips...easy to get, although Mrs M's battered fish is vastly superior, the fresh fish costs have skyrocketed, there is something out there which explains how long fish can be caught and kept to be sold as fresh (I can't find it). Strange how tastes change with, I'm getting jaded with certain foods...

Beag is 365 days older than this day last year..
I get birthday cake later...
Me? I want my leg fixed for Xmas

Cards? I reckon between stamps, envelopes etc, £15(x4) or 60 quids for a year, maybe. Last batch printed 66 euros (?)
It could be worse, I could enjoy a cold drink or two..

Yours as in you came up with what yer using, or it's what yer using?
Don't suppose you still do a local back-up, to a CD-R/DVD-R or a USB stick as on of those three. All back-ups done at the same or separate time(s) throughout the day.
Saves on paper, which to be fair would take up a fair bit of space, with 56,000 plus contacts. Fifty per sheet say, in landscape. Make "interesting" reading for anyone who stumbled across them in years to come.
When it stops being fun, stop it!
Ever added the mileage up between you and yer contacts? Ever thought of doing it, then thought "nah"?
Life has to be more than facts and figures, surely...
You change the printer nozzle, or manage to clean the old one.

I know prices have shot up, but some are taking the mick. 50% increase from Saturday to Monday, with shrinkflation as well. Don't go back to them when they do that. Spuds are going to be dear this year, following the dry year, so another increase on the way.
Tastes change over time, don't worry. It's not just yerself...

He'll be starting school, full time, soon then. He still sending you to your room when he wants to watch your telly?
Enjoy the cake, when it gets to you.
Fixing legs isn't something Santa normally does, but if you're really good the rest of this year who knows...

£60/@€66 for a year in't too bad. A fish supper every second month.
Still on a low intake following the medical advice earlier this year. One won't hurt, surely... Especially today.

Good fer you.

Car sold and gone to a really nice Polish chap who drove up from Andover.

Car sold and gone to a really nice Polish chap who drove up from Andover.

I remember Mrs M putting a small ad in a local paper and next morning, bloke phoned up..
Duly arrived, 'Test drive?' , 'Nope', 'Was it £ ???' 'Aye', 'Bank Transfer done' gave him the keys.

2 days later, I'd just arrived in from work, says to Mrs M, ' Plod sitting outside' , 'Knock Knock'
Plod comes in, ' Do you own a Polo registration blah blah', 'No, sold it the other day' 'Who to?' shows bank information....
and they never came back, still haven't a clue'
