The Silicon Graybeard

In the World of the High Tech Redneck, the Graybeard is the old guy who earned his gray by making all the mistakes, and tries to keep the young 'uns from repeating them. Silicon Graybeard is my term for an old hardware engineer; a circuit designer. The focus of this blog is on doing things, from radio to home machine shops and making all kinds of things, along with comments from a retired radio engineer, that run from tech, science or space news to economics; from firearms to world events.

It's Virtual Shopping Day!

When I got home from work and started downloading my email, Thunderbird told me it was downloading 73 emails. 73?

I'm not that popular.

The 73 emails were, with less than 10 exceptions, all ads saying "start your cyber-shopping now!" I'll just load up my virtual cart here...

No. No, I won't. I've somehow managed to acquire a head cold and don't feel like sitting here thinking hard. Maybe later this weekend.

A happy and blessed Thanksgiving to all. May all of you enjoy a wonderful day with your families and friends. Or by yourself, if that's your day. Thanks to the EMTs, Nurses, Doctors, LEOs, Firefighters and others who work Thanksgiving so we can have the day off. Thanks to the military men and women who keep the barbarians from the gates and give us the chance to relax. For now, eat, drink, and be merry. Who knows what next year brings?
