Sun Mar 8 11:52:11 EDT 2009

Mike;

Thank your son for all of us for his service to our great and wonderful country. The one that everyone hates but the one that everyone wants to live in.

Enjoy the various museums and natural parks.

People who paid attention and saw this coming - and more importantly -
PREPAIRED - for what they saw coming....  well ... this is just an
inconvienance.  And a good time to buy.  Investments, real estate, vehicles and
yes even toys.  

After waiting a few years for ICOM to copy it (they didn't) - I hope my NEW
Yaesu FT-817 is home when we finish our mini-vacation to Tucson in a few days.  

My son is just a few weeks back from his third tour.  He wants to see the Titan
Missile Museum, the Pima Air Museum, Tombstone, Bisbee, Cochise Stronghold,
Chiracaua National Monument, Coronado National Forest at Portal AZ, and anything
else interesting along the road.

The point is, if you paid attention and prepared for this, now is the time to
shop carefully, strike a deal, and buy.  Good investments are buy one get one
free right now!  But don't be in a hurry.  Shop carefully.  Wait for
"YOUR DEAL"  I believe deals will get better still for several months
to come.  Or longer.

Well - the Titan Misslie Museum opens in an hour.  Time to wake James.  He
slept well last night.  The night before he was calling in artillery in his
sleep.  <grin>.  Decompression takes time.....

Y-all enjoy your day.  We certainly will.

Mike - KD9KC.  On vacation in Tucson.
