2007 Holiday Season

Thanksgiving was good. Brittany and I had dinner with her Grandmother Graham. To keep up with my past postings, I'm not an EMT yet and I hope the accrediting agency will accept my almost nine month late homework. In His time and Will I'll have these two things. I'm more concerned with my health now.

Field Day

Tomorrow afternoon, I will be operating a 28MHz station for participation in the ARRL Field Day contest. I may not operate the entire event, which will allow me time to visit with the East River Amateur Radio club's Field Say site.

N8VFD 1A West Virginia! The Concord University Amateur Radio Club will participate in their first ARRL Field Day Contest.

I didn't look at my last entry to see where I left off. To jump straight to the point, by the end of next month, I want to have my EMT-B certification, Fire Officer I certification and Emergency Vehicle Driving certification. I'm going to have get off my tukus though.

I hope this warm weather is here to stay. This year, I hope to get to flowerin' again, just like old times. Time for sleep. Leka

Warm weather is here! It is a beautiful day. Yesterday evening I was listening to a contest in Luxembourg on 28Mhz. I'm wanting to hit HF hard this year. Gotta have the equipment first. Hopefully, I'll get more than three or four contacts during Field Day this June. In May, I will take the final test to become an Amateur Extra so I can utilize all the frequencies that I can. Last year, I could only stay withing the Technician Plus frequencies during Field Day. Since I'm a general class operator now, I have full privelages on ten meters and can use more of the band this year regardless if I pass the Element 4 exam. One day I'll have the station I've always dreamed of having.

Almost Spring

The weather is beginning to change in this lovely town. This hasn't been all that bad. Until December, the weather was quite warm. It didn't seem like winter 'till January '07. I didn't pass my National Registry exam the first time. I plan to take it again in March. Last week I was in the Fire Officer I class at Ecape. I have to complete some more work and have it turned in within two weeks. I've grown a little bit in the Fire Service these past 25 months. From member to proby to trainee to fire fighter and one day to fire officer.

Cold

It's beginnin to feel a lot like winter. I'd be safe to say it's about 4 degrees F outside, that's when the wind is still. I have to take my national registry over again. What a long wait for a whole lot of nothing. At least now I can study the areas I was weak in. OB/Peads. was the worst area I done on. So if I have to deliver your baby, I hope I do well lol.
February 1oth- I'm going to take my Element 3 exam. I have to study a little harder for that test it comes up in a week and a half. I hope me and Brittany grow together in our relationship and for me to be molded in the man she wants. I'm trying to create new networks with the brothers of Tau Kappa Epsilon, they're having an awesome rush program this week. One day I hope to be a part of that fraternity.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today, I turn twenty five years old. My good friends Buck and Rachel always remember me and my wife Brittany makes sure I have something and that I have a special day. It seems like another day to me, though. I've always felt that way about my birthday. All I wanted was my national registry examination score and I didn't get that. I'm greatful for what I do have.
In three more weeks I'm going to take the next test to become a General Class ham radio operator. I wanted to run straight to the top, then decided to take one step at a time. I'm doing good with the book so I feel good about taking the Element 3 exam in February and the Element 4 in May then I'll be on the top of the food chain. I remember showing Earl Farmer my first Ham Radio licence and him looking at it and saying "Amateur". It was my first accomplishment. I showed it to everybody. On February 15, 1997 I took my certificate to church and Rev. Bob McKinney told everybody. This passed week, I've been finding ways to get an HF radio. I want one so bad. I love Ham Radio.
I'm glad to have made it to the age of twenty five, I know some that didn't get to make it that far. I'm ever so thanful. I'm thankful for everything: my family, friends, possessions, and bodily functions. I thank God for it all.

Did I pass?

It's been a rather fun day. Today is the first day of class for this semester. It's been a month and I still don't know the score of my National Registry exam I took Dec 18, 2006. I hope that I passed it so I can gain employment at the Princeton Rescue Squad and be able to respond and actually do something at EMS calls. ESCAPE is just around the corner, it's a Fire/EMS conference and classes at the end of February. Well the pager beckons me yet again.

Thanks Ranger Tom

I've escaped the boundries of myspace so I can do some real blogging. I have to thank my old friend Ranger Tom for that. I hope to have another great year in all that I do. By the way it looks now, it's going to be a little busy for the first few months. More classes in the Fire/EMS services to further my education and skills training as a firefighter/emt, college classes, taking care of the home-front and regular participation in the organizations I'm in is enough to keep me busy for now.
