[Elecraft] What a night

After I got home from dinner I worked my CW mentor for about an hour on 40 
meters with my K2/100.  That was fun.  Then I got back to my NC2030 and 
got another stage debugged and working as per directions.  Then I got on 
the computer and banged out a bit more of the Barnes-Hut algorithm I am 
working on.  Tomorrow I get paid to attend a robotics seminar.  Can life 
get any better?

Amateur radio is almost as much fun as what I do for a living ;)  The 
Elecraft CW Net is great fun but what can compare to designing robots?  
This one is to capture infrared data from a helium blimp, transmit it via 
RF, capture it on the other end, and overlay the data with other data 
gathered on the ground.  I also got to design and build the antennas on 
both ends of the system.  My grad thesis project is starting to pay a few 
dividends.
    Take care,

PS.  Now I better do the dishes :)
