Down for a couple of days - ham radio event tomorrow morning and then a meeting Thursday evening. Got the cell phone charging and alarm set for 7:00AM. My favorite coffee place opens at 7:00AM so I will be sufficiently fortified for the event. It will take a couple hours depending on what exercises the Net Control (PDF document) operator has devised for us.
These are supposed to prepare us for any kind of emergency so sometimes they can get "interesting" The operations center that I will be using is only two miles from my house - much closer than any other ham radio operator on the island so I think I will be dragooned into this more frequently than not.
Had lunch in Bellingham and a quick burrito in Stanwood. Two pints of cider and back home. Got a sandwich and a couple diet cokes in the fridge for tomorrow's lunch.
Quick look-see around the internet and then YouTube.
