No ice cream today either

Looong day -- got up at 7:00AM and headed into town for the Ham Radio class. Typical geek population distribution, 30 guys and three women and a good range of ages. The teachers were really good and energized in what they were doing. Although we were all in there to get an Amateur Radio license, there was a lot of fascinating electronics background. Some more class next Saturday and then the exam that afternoon. There is another class -- Ham 101 being taught the following Saturday and I will attend that too as it goes over the local repeaters and their operation. Came to the realization this afternoon that getting my license means that I will have to initiate conversations with strange people. Not exactly outgoing so this should be interesting. Like the joke goes, how can you tell the extroverted engineer. He is the guy staring at YOUR shoes when he is talking... There is a big work party for the community garden tomorrow morning so another early day. I am also committed to running my PA system for a library event Tuesday evening. I'll sleep late on Monday and Wednesday. Off to bed...
