With this introduction . . . . .
please go visit my new RadioActive Blog : http://wb5rmg.wordpress.com
WB5RMG launches RadioActive Blog
Please add this new site as a bookmark, or favorite - and come back now and then to see what else has been added. The
old html site (http://wb5rmg.somenet.net) will continue on, mostly to host the last decade or so of content that’s already in here, but to also provide a home for the random bits of stuff that just won’t fit into a blog structure very well. It also currently has a bit of the SomeNet website history on the front page.
Enjoy !!

It is that time of year again - the warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico would like to come back and take it’s place over the the southeastern states, but the cooler dry air in place over the northern states keeps trying to push it back. Seems this goes on every spring, and we get used to seeing the angry skies during these battles. Yesterday we had an interesting combination of circumstances that provided a lot of excitement in the form of strong winds and plentiful hail. This piece of radar was grabbed mid-afternoon showing the line of angry sky across Tennessee and north Alabama. Through the day as this line moved further east, the tail extended further south and included central Alabama and Georgia. The day before it was sweeping across Arkansas.
Here are the preliminary event reports collected by the NWS :

Welcome home Discovery & crew !!
Thanks to everyone for everything. Discovery flew a great mission and delivered the last of the solar arrays to the ISS and brought Sandy back after her extended stay in orbit…
Good job everyone, I’m glad everything worked so well.
More details on the STS-119 mission on http://www.nass.gov/shuttle of course.
Thanks /;^)

(I originally composed and e-mailed this blog entry on March 28, 2008.)
And the governor kicks in at 115.
Today (Wednesday), I went from Columbia, MO to Laramie, WY. Yesterday, (Tuesday) which was the day I left, I went from Huntsville, AL to Columbia, MO.
According to my Rand McNally Deluxe Motor Carrier’s Road Atlas - I drove big trucks for a short while and carried everything from medical sponges & diesel engines to explosives. That was a blast! (pun intended) - HSV to Columbia, MO is 561 miles. Columbia to Laramie, WY is 767. Laramie, WY is about 60 miles west of Cheyenne, the state capitol. Read the rest…

I’ll be publishing some posts I made but were not able to publish because of “technical problems” over which I had no control.
Some of them are very nearly a year old. So please, as you read them, bear in mind the elapsed time frame, and consider the potential for change (however great or small) that may have, or yet may occur(ed) in the interim.
I greatly appreciate your understanding and continue to welcome your comments!
Thanks!

I used to own a solid black German Shepherd Dog which I named “Florentine Ebony Princess.” Her call name was “Princess.”
She lived nine years. She was absolutely and without question, THE most wonderful dog I’ve ever had the joy of owning. Her spirit and temperament were remarkable, and her drives were impeccable.
In fact, I started teaching her how to climb trees, after I taught her how to climb a ladder… the type you or I would use! Read the rest…
