December 24, 2024. Twas the night before Christmas!

Twas the night before Christmas and there was no RF in the Shack! No RF is a good thing too! 

Christmas is a time for family and to reflect on the good things and perhaps cleanse away the bad things (that is the more difficult task).

We should never take life for granted as there may actually be no tomorrow. So, enjoy the good stuff today and maybe use this time to chart a project for 2025 where you actually build something.

Actress Terry Moore circa 1947


The world is unfair. I have many projects I would love to build but have no time given my caregiver duties. Yet you couch potatoes out there have the time but no interests other than looking at IC7300 Menus. 

Several days ago, I posted a photo of Terry Moore, the actress. No one flinched or asked why! In the early 1950's Moore was part of a USO tour entertaining our troops in Korea. It was winter and Moore appeared on stage in a white ermine bathing suit. It was a big hit with troops but not taken well by the WCTU (Women's Christian Temperance Union). 

Having been deployed twice to a war zone, my only criticism is that it wasn't a bikini. One publicity photo shows Moore in the ermine suit, standing between two guys wearing arctic parkas. Moore is alive today and on January 7, 2025, will be 96 years old. Happy Birthday, Terry.

Merry Christmas to all.
