 BR> Hello Daryl;

  Hi, Brian...

 BR> I would imagine a few QSL cards are. When you consider the average age
 BR> of a ham is 70 (fact!) there's probably more SKs than active ones...
 BR> and those who are still active most likely are taking some form of
 BR> daily medications.

  They mentioned that on the QCWA (Quarter Century Wireless Association)
Webinar this past Saturday...even pausing for a moment of silence for the
SK's in the last year.

  I trashed them out in the chat room after the meeting had ended, when
one ham had offered to buy VE6AFO, president of QCWA, a beer. I typed in
"I'll take a diet green tea citrus...you can hold my beer" (hi hi). I was
told this morning on a D-Star Net that "in the south, you're also supposed
to say 'Watch This!!'" after saying that. I doubt it applies to Mug, Barq's,
Dad's, Hires, or A&W. Man, now I want a root beer float. <G>

 BR> Oh yes indeedy she was! If you ever wanted to know the definition of a
 BR> pile-up... you should have caught a frequency she popped on <G>

  Do you remember her callsign?? I know she is a Silent Key now (anal cancer,
from what I understand).

 BR> These too. The rest I did not know about. Even if one doesn't use it,
 BR> having the license is a good thing to have because you never do know
 BR> when it'll be needed.

  This is true. I'm not on the air as much as I used to be. Vision problems
of late (mainly corneal abrasions) have made it hard to be at the computer
for long periods of time...either for nets, or getting the BBS into the
cloud. If that wasn't enough, degenerative disk disease in my spine makes
it difficult to sit at the computer, or to stand in one spot, for long 
periods of time.

 DS>   That's the side effect of the new prescription to help you open the
 DS> container. <G>

 BR> Speaking of which... I have to make a run to get 2 refills :\

  ROTFL - Ran Out To Find Lunch. <G>
