Funny how some things bug me, and some things make me laugh.
Guess I better to just learn to laugh more - at more,
and get bugged less - at less.
Maybe then, I'm gonna find I enjoy my hobby every bit as much as I seem to
keep telling myself.
Who else wants to join me in trying to enjoy the hobby enough to get past
most of the above list?
I really do like to laugh.
Maybe ham radio and laughter would make for a great day on a repeated basis.
