I mentioned these in my post about my new emergency and shortwave radio, so I figured I’d show you all what I was talking about there.
I was getting ready to move to Vegas from San Diego and one possibility that kept coming up for the move was for my girlfriend and I to drive separate [...]

Grundig/Eton FR-200
I’ve mentioned Jimmy Buffett’s book, “A Salty Piece of Land” before, and I got to thinking about one of the things in that book the other night. Cleopatra Highbourne, one of the main characters, is always listening to her shortwave radio aboard her schooner. I’ve heard about shortwave before, and I got to thinking [...]

I decided to learn a bit about html coding, so I did a google search and found www.w3schools.com. They’re a great reference and they make learning a whole lot easier!

Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville

Captain’s Cove
I mentioned my favorite job in my last post, so I thought I should explain a bit more. Captain’s Cove is a small gift and souvenier shop in Seaport Village on the waterfront of downtown San Diego. It’s really a lot more than just a gift shop, it’s also a second home for some [...]

Alright, I need to find a REAL job!!! I’ve gone through school, got my certifications, and it’s about time I get the heck out of retail! Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that retail is disgusting, it’s just that I deserve something better.
Tonight, I’ll be looking through the classifieds in the local Sunday paper. Tomorrow, [...]
