titch..I and my wife are hammies, or long time ago were. The local club got over run with seriously scary preppers. I guess the leader is in prison now. I have a friend who has a huge setup always trying to get me to get involved again. It just never clicked with me, it was the novelty of getting the license. He builds radios like many do in the hobby, great guy.

Evans and Erhman have had a number of debates, honestly rather humorous. They seem to be friends arguing about semantics.

I love foraging, especially for mushrooms.
I had some soil trucked in to fit in low areas in lot next to the house couple years ago. Crazy, I picked couple pounds of Morels from the middle of the lawn last year. This year only a few. I guess that's normal. I imagine the soil was from a woods.
I really enjoy cooking
My wife works hard so the least I can do is cook some of the time. Most everything winds up being a 1 frying pan stir fry/concoction. She loves baking.

My wife reads off crosswords when we are driving to keep me awake. I beat a rubix cube once after cheating and reading a book. Could never repeat it without the book.

I always wished I could play an instrument. I bought a guitar 35 years ago but I didn't follow through. I've asked friends who play to jam at Xmas but they are too shy.

Fisherman..I just added that last comment to a very old thread. Not sure who you were responding to but I agree you do have some protection if using a credit card. I needed this couple years ago when I discovered someone was using my business card for meals out couple times a week at outback steakhouse in New Jersey for the last 6 months. My balances were usually 5-10 thousand each month in new charges so it was easy to miss. I caught it only because they used it at a nice hotel for $300/night once. I was able to sort it out and get refunded thankfully. It doesn't always work, I was fraudulently charged for a hotel we declined to stay at in Mexico after seeing the uninhabitable room. I lost my dispute of the charge without an explanation. I was able to point out I used the card at another hotel the same night but still no refund.
My issue is how complicated this stuff gets and the how not knowing the fine print about ebay and Paypal can really cost a lot of money.
