Jimmy,

 ji> sked? Is that what you call a QSO on Echolink?

  A sked is a time that you and another ham agree to on that particular
band and mode, just to chat.

 ji> I'm at my desk at work - probably all morning. :-) Just started
 ji> up Echolink - I have a friend that tells me about nets she
 ji> is on - I need to see what I can hear...

  Work and snow are 4 letter words (hi hi)...but without work, there's
no money for ham radio play toys.

 ji> I did sign in on the Delta net last night... In between
 ji> laundry. :-)

  It reminds me of the meme where the OM is doing laundry. The XYL glares
at him, scowling "Look at you!! Doing laundry!! Last night, it was doing
dishes...and the night before, it was vacuuming!! What part of 'YOU ARE
NOT GETTING A NEW HAM RADIO DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND??!!" (hi hi).

  Speaking of laundry, many restaurants nowadays ask if you want to leave
a tip BEFORE you get seated, and served your food or drink...and some will
have a pre-determined tip percentage (20% or more) on to the ticket. To me,
if the service is good, I will leave a tip...if not, I'm tempted to do what
this one individual did. 

  He printed up a bunch of business cards, with how he felt on tipping. On 
one side, he noted he disagreed with this compulsory tip policy, as it was 
unearned. On the other side, he noted "if you want a tip I'll give you 3 of
them:"

1) Plant your corn early.
2) Keep your powder dry.
3) Always have clean underwear on.

  In some cases, when told about the tip deal, customers turned right around, 
and walked out of the restaurant, without ordering food.
