Comments:

Got a late start Friday night due to dinner with friends.  Worked several
hours doing S&P, then switched to calling and won't you know my first
contact was VP5P (He said Jim wan't there).  

Worked 18 hour Saturday doing mostly calling but would switch to S&P to get
more points.

Started in the afternoon Sunday after church and continued calling.  Had to
take a break since my neighbor came over complaining that I was interfering
with his internet game.  Gave him a handful of ferrite beads to put on his
cables and that seemed to calm him down.  Got back to calling and my N1MM
software started giving me errors about my com port and I had to turn the
radio off and reboot the computer several times. It finally started working
correctly again so I could finish the contest.

This was probably my best contest considering all the problems.
