so after 140 hours of work in last two weeks, im finally going to take some time off....time for some liquid vacation. I think ima try and find some bonded bourbon. What do other people enjoy?
Bourbon is my go to. I'm poor though, so something cheap that I can put gingerale in for the regular beverage. Handle of Jim Beam is $26. Haha.

I do love me some Jäger tho. That's divisive around these parts.

I ran. I ran until my legs hurt. I ran until my veins pumped battery acid. Then I ran some more.

I'm not Tyler Durden so I didn't run, but I might walk until that is true.

The first Simpson's Halloween special, S2 before it was called The Tree House of Horror, is brilliant television. I only hope that one day people will look back at these animated genius stories and understand the gravity of James Earl Jones reciting The Raven, and first appearance of Kang and Kodos.

I have a friend who wants me to get a headset to play online with him but I'm more of a, Hey, I'm bored and wanna sit and play a quick round or two of something.. Not a coordinated battle for hours with German teens cussing me for not playing well enough...

I've also been studying, not hard, for my HAM radio test and man, that's a lot to learn.. I need better study materials as I can't seem to score better than 60% on the practice tests.

Just do what I did. Take so many practice tests that you just know all the answers.
There's a lot of info and operational procedures that you learn by reading the books. Even if you've passed the exam that way, going and reading the study manuals is a huge help with being a good operator and building the knowledge needed to truly be an effective communicator in the air waves.

What are you studying?
Same. Just been taking practice tests then testing on the sections I did bad on. I'm more memory than knowledge for sure.
I bought that Ham for dummies at a garage sale but it is more how to study than what to study. I need actual print materials to learn from not just questions to memorize..

There's still a lot in there. You might find yourself needing to to relay emergency communications or to make emergency communications yourself eventually in all manner of situations where having the basic knowledge in those manuals could make a huge difference.
