 DS> Jimmy,

 JA>Okay - if I somehow find myself in the Windows world again I'll check
 JA>on that!

 DS>   I don't know if a telnet client for Mac would work or not...but you

 DS> and go to the D-Rats Shared Files Area. Look for the file on "The PCL
 DS> Net" fore details.

Will check on that now... As for Telnet, that's how I connect to the
BBS I message from. :-) 

Hmm... ftp not connecting as guest...

 JA>Since upgrading laptops and moving to MAC OS 10.14 Mojave, my CHIRP
 JA>will not talk to my mobile rig, so yesterday I d/l Ubuntu and installed
 JA>it there. I've been stuck in the house with high fever and strep throat,
 JA>so I've not tried it yet...

 DS>   First, get yourself better...you can worry about the BBS and
 DS> everything else later.

Well the BBS traffic was keeping my mind going while I was sick :-) But
I'm MUCH much better now!!!

 DS>   Second, I've got 2 urological procedures coming up the week of
 DS> Hamvention (so I obviously can't go -- never mind not having the money
 DS> to go).

Good luck with the procedures!!!

 DS>   If I can get into some good financial benefit, I'd love to take
 DS> Amtrak to the Duke City Hamfest in September in Albuquerque. If I can't
 DS> do that, I may look at Amtrak to Spokane Washington in June, 2020...for
 DS> the National Square Dance Convention. It's normally on Field Day
 DS> Weekend, but with the big "Hoopfest" in Spokane that weekend, "The
 DS> World's Largest Square Dance Event" is a week earlier, for 2020 only.
 DS> I'd dance Thursday and Friday, then fellowship with area hams on
 DS> Saturday. I've mapped out possible itineraries for both...dreaming is
 DS> free, but reality is a whole different matter.

I understand! I had plans to hit some MAJOR x-wing tourneys over the summer,
but so far they are falling through so I can spend more time with family.
Not complaining, but would nice to have it all. LOL

 DS>   Medical wise, the first is the second Low-T implant...this time in
 DS> the left butt cheek (it alternates each time, done 4-5 months apart).
 DS> The numbing and burning of the anesthetic is a real PITA...pun
 DS> intended. But, Low-T, left untreated, can lead to a whole host of other
 DS> "male problems"...but it's part of "growing old".

I'm 52 now and I'm wondering if some of my 'fatigue' is not related to
low-T. I should ask the doc specifically about that...

 DS>   I was on a ham radio packet net several years ago, with this one
 DS> session affectionately described as "The E.D. Net". An elderly ham
 DS> thought it stood for "Electronic Doofus" (I can relate to that!!).

LOL

 DS>   Back to the medical items, the second is a flexoscopy up the penis
 DS> and urethra into the bladder while I'm awake (they better give me a ton
 DS> of numbing gel beforehand). Something suspicious was on the ultrasound,
 DS> looking like a 9 millimeter bladder stone, which won't pass on its
 DS> own...having to be removed surgically. But, when they went in last
 DS> time, they didn't see anything. The urologist wants to look in there,
 DS> and see if it's diverticula (a pouch, similar to what I already have in
 DS> the colon), or a stone...and then to discuss surgery and
 DS> hospitalization, if needed.

Ouch... Again, good luck!!!
