Entry: Busy day Monday, April 11, 2005



Sorry I took a few days off blogging. Wanted the house to look good when the wife got home. Can't sit next to the computer all the hours I used to anymore. I guess I am going up in age and don't have the energy that I used to have.

I went back to work this morning. The leg felt good and I had a fun but long day. I filled in for one of the Navy guys that had watch and his class was doing the Frequency Shift Keying and Phase Shift Keying Alignment labs. The labs are both very touchy as the equipment is co old, we do not use external frequency standards, and we secure all the gear over night.

I always like these labs, because this is one where you can dazzle the students with the knowledge gained over the years. It gives me a chance to show them a few tricks and amaze them when they get off track, by knowing exactly what they did. All in all it was fun. I spent the rest of the day updating and improving some of the Power Point lectures.

After that it was time to get busy with school. We are in the last five weeks of this semester and it is time to start knocking out the final projects, or at least get started with them. Thank God, there is no summer school.

I will not have much time to do anything but work and school for the next five weeks as it is getting hot and heavy in school right now as the semester winds down. As long as I don't blow it, things look as if I will get straight "A's" this semester.

I hope the dogs let me get some sleep tonight. They were very restless last night and kept barking at or with the dog next door. There was nothing out there so they must have just been discussing things in dog talk.

My oldest daughters birthday is coming up and I have to think of something cool to send her for her birthday. My youngest daughters birthday is also coming up but ma will handle that.

I haven't had time to check my usual hangouts so I am not quite up to speed with the news, other than catching Fox News on the fly. So I guess I will stay out of the political scene today. Anyway, everyone have a good week.
