Happy Days Are Here Again


Happy Days Are Here Again - indeed! I passed my ham radio upgrade test last night. Not by much but a win is a win. I read two prep books and must have taken at least 50 practice exams but there were at least five questions on the test I had never seen before. That, and I missed a couple others. But I've got my General license. Now I need to get an antenna hooked up so I can get on the air.

Going along with the happy days theme, my chest is still doing okay, so I started in on a fitness program. I'm starting slow and easy with no pushups or bench presses. I gained about 8 pounds with the latest chest injury and the eye surgery, which isn't as bad as I thought. I need to lose a few, get the stomach tightened back up and get the cardio back where it should be. I found a couple of bike rides I'm going to train for. If I can ride a 50 miler or a metric century at my age I'll be real happy.
