I love it when a plan comes together – even if I’m on plan “D” when it happens. Plan “A” was to go to La Ceiba on Monday morning and go straight to the medical center downtown for an ultrasound to try to discover the source of my mystery pains. Then I would proceed on [...]

Audio Update – Week of February 8, 2010
{ Comments on this entry are closed }
I had a bit of a delay here with the audio update. I started to work on it after supper yesterday, but could not get the audio file converted from wav to mp3. Something broke in the program I use and I couldn’t find any other programs I wanted to use. So today I took [...]

A Failed Plan Isn’t Always a Bad Thing
{ Comments on this entry are closed }
Well, so much for our plans for today. It was our day off and, after doing some industrial grade sleeping in, I had a project in mind. Every time we get a driving rain out of the west or north, we get water on the floor along the wall of our guest bathroom. Last week [...]

Alrighty! Here is this week’s HRGS Audio Update and the story of Peter’s no-fun ending to a Sunday afternoon basketball game. I’ll let the audio speak for itself.
The news on my shoulder is that it’s doing much better. The doctor gave it a second injection yesterday and told me to keep throwing that ball at [...]

The Beautiful, the Bad, and the Bizarre
{ Comments on this entry are closed }
I know I’m dating myself here, but who remembers the old Clint Eastwood movie, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly? I think we could make a movie about life here in Roatán called, The Beautiful, the Bad, and the Bizarre.
Last week was just a gorgeous week. I needed to go to Utila to take [...]
So Much to Thank Him For

The title for this blog entry is also the name of a very popular song here on Radio HRGS. It’s sung by a southern gospel group that, in my humble opinion, can’t carry a tune in a bucket. Don’t get me wrong – I like southern gospel, but these folks are not even close to [...]

I’m sorry this is so late. It’s been a little hectic with Peter and Sandi on vacation. On top of that, I’m dealing with some medical issues. It’s getting close to bedtime now, so I’ll tell you about that later. It’s nothing life threatening. Meanwhile, here is this week’s Radio HRGS Audio Update. Enjoy!

Haulin’ Mud
{ Comments on this entry are closed }
I did some mud hauling this week – not in the truck – under it. I’ve been working for a while on a method of preventing dead air on the radio if something happens to our network or to our audio equipment. I’ve mentioned it before and said back on New Year’s Day that I [...]

Well, so much for the trip to Utila this week. We’ve had a norther here. I mentioned last time that it was unusually cool here. The cool temperatures have continued (even cooler lately) along with continued rain. We just about hit 66 degrees this morning and yesterday, which is incredible for here. We even had [...]

Furlough Plans, Rain, and Audio Update

I keep reading on Facebook how cold most of you are. I guess the global warming has been canceled and maybe now we can go back to fretting about a global freeze which was such a popular topic not many years ago. Well, I want to tell you it’s been brutal here. Lots of people [...]

Happy almost New Years! It’s hard to believe that another year has rolled past. Besides the approaching New Year, Mildred and I have just completed another year of marital bliss. Today is our 35th anniversary. And I don’t want any questions about how many years of marital bliss we had!! We had big [...]

OK gang, we’re just about ready for Christmas here. We all get to pretty much take off Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but we’ll have to take turns monitoring to make sure we stay on the air. And someone will have to check the satellite downloads for each of those days. That means I’ll have [...]
