We had a snow storm here in North Car­olina this past week­end, so I got to do some snow wheel­ing. I mostly trav­elled the back roads, look­ing for peo­ple that are stuck or need help.

One thing I have learned from work­ing for the school sys­tem is that dry erase boards are pretty cool. They are great for map­ping out ideas, and mak­ing wire frames for web designs. That’s why I decided to make a dry erase board of my own.

I got me a “new” tower for my house.  It is slightly used, but in good con­di­tion.  It is a 50 foot gal­va­nized guyed tower.  It will replace the tele­scop­ing pole that I use for my HAM radio antenna and my wire­less inter­net.  I plan on putting it up some time this summer.

Here is a few snap­shots of my cur­rent setup and the new tower still on the trailer.

I got my Ham Radio Oper­a­tor license last week­end. My call sign is KI4ZKP. Right now I am using a ALINCO DJ-596 hand held radio to talk, but I am look­ing for a mobile setup for my truck. I am mostly on Hibriten’s repeater (147.330 MHz), but I also lis­ten to High Peak Mtn (145.210 MHz).

Got a new acoustic gui­tar. It is an ibanez. Sounds pretty good too. Goes great with my old Fender elec­tric.

Whats this, two posts in one month? I must be bored. Here are some shots of my newly acquired pool table. I had to tear out a closet to get it in the room. It’s some­thing to do while I’m wait­ing on com­put­ers to fin­ish what ever they are doing.

After set­ting around for about a year, I finally got the old 4-wheeler out. Took a while to get it cranked, but after it did it ran fairly good. I got it all cleaned up, looks about new now.

I just built a new wire­less access point sys­tem. I used a Linksys WAP54G, a Hyper­Tech Amp, a weather proof enclo­sure, and an omni 12DBi gain antenna. Works great.
I also got some Futu­rama posters in. One is a Leela pro­mo­tion poster, and the other is a Ben­der poster.

Finally after about 4 months with no Inter­net, I’m back. Our inter­net ser­vice was dis­con­nected for some rea­son, so I Could not update the website.
