I’m a Ham.

Hah, not that kind of ham..
A radio Ham (Amateur Radio) operator.
After 30 years of telling myself.. “I should probably take that test and get my Ham License” And you know, being the Chief Engineer at a broadcast Television station and all.. (It used to be that you where required to be a “licensed” radio operator.)

My Call Sign is : KM4AQW

Now all I need to do is buy a radio. 🙂

Hannah in the VI, and a party.

Hannah went to the VI with some family friends last week, while I had to work masters. It would appear they had a lot of fun. I, on the other hand, lost Hannah’s snake, Kinty, and was worried sick most of the week.

Hannah got a chance to dive at cane bay also.

Melinda getting a chance to play on the horses up in the hills.

Who gets to do stuff like this? Rockwell getting launched off the back of a horse into the carrabea ocean.

(little)Hannah and Melinda hanging out with some Moco Jumbies. I assume this is monday night.. They have parties on monday nights for some reason.

While they where away, I did one fun thing.. I went to a fancy corporate CBS Party.

You know its fancy when they hire a Cuban to make cigars for you. That is one way to get around the law I suppose…

Things on my visit to the VI

Day one of 30 days of biking! It’s going to be a sort of short ride for the first few days..

Yesterday was “transfer day” in the VI.. It’s the day the islands where transferred from Denmark to the USA. So there are celebrations.. This is Kiki’s Fire dancers preforming at the resort behind Kathi’s apartment.

On the Hike to Isaac’s bay to swim, Melinda wanted me to take a picture. “Hey Dad, take a picture of me on the precipice of this deadly cliff!” My Mother is rolling in her grave.

A nice pic on the hike on the way to Isaac’s bay. This is on the easternmost side of the island. The east side of the island is desert like, the West side of the island is rainforest like. Interesting that way.

Rockwell getting his chance to climb on deadly rocks at Isaac’s bay. This is a nature preserve, so you are not allowed to bring anything here but a backpack.
