[Boatanchors] Ham-Com in Plano, Texas

[Bob W5UQ]

HamCom for me was a good one this year.
  Even though I was at my Tailgate tables all day Friday and until 2pm 
Saturday, when I zipped through the inside events, it looked good.
Well, 'cept for the indoor tables in the "new fleamarket room".  They 
were not to impressive.
The afternoon heat was pretty bad on Saturday, however the breezes on 
Friday helped a lot.  Saturday morning wasn't too bad.

Anyway, I REALLY enjoyed all who came by my tables in the tailgate 
parking lot.  We had fun talking and swapping stories, laughing and such.

See you guys next year.

... ... ... and the beat goes onnnnnn!
With or without us.

The Shadow could cloud men's minds.
Old age and some spouses can do the same.

Even though we are all traveling at the speed of LIFE,
speed ain't all it's built up to be.
As we age, we begin to realize this.
So, maybe we need to slow down and smell the daisies.

Faith is about being OK no matter how things turn out."

and die to find out there isn't,
Than to live my life as if there isn't,
and die to find out there is."
