Most web pages are concentrated on one thing and one thing only, like say for instance, ham radio. I like to be a little diversified and mix it up somewhat, so here is some fun things that the wife and I enjoy on the web. This site is currently under construction so I will be adding new material in the future so be sure to check back...in the meantime, I hope you enjoy the site

Now back to the cat lovers...
Are you one of the many cat servants that while you are trying to sleep at night your precious kitty cat is raising HELL in the other room? Perhaps you fell asleep watching TV while patting you furry little friend . Well, I don't know about you guys but this is what happens in our house.....At 12:15 AM our cats decides to take a major cat bath while sitting on your stomach or head. Then, just for sport and to prove what great hunters they are, he or she attacks your toes as they just happen to peek out from the comforter. Around 2 AMish he or she decides to march up and down your slumbering body , (we have two cats ) making sure that they step on your face.. If you happen to wake, when you open your bloodshot eyes the first thing you see is a CAT ANUS.. Now after a horrible sleepless night and the alarm goes off at 5 AM.....of course you have to go to work ....Ever wonder what your cat is doing while you are at the slave pit earning just enough money to pay for rent, litter, and cat food? WELL....do I have some pictures for you!
My brothers girlfriend sent me these cat photos...I simply must share....snaps for Kelly!
OH yeah..I forgot to mention the DOG who barks all night!
You just never know what crazy stuff is going to happen when you go to the train station...
Now seriously folks..being a ham I just HAD to sneak a couple of antenna pictures in....
Here is my cat Hunter inspecting my new home brew 5 band hex antenna
Checking the strength of the PVC support rods which the plans for the antenna recommend NOT to use...
Pretty bad when you have to prove to the cat that this is the right way to string the damn directors!
Over the years, Sarah and my music collection became so vast that we decided to create a media room. We had a spare room that was not being used so we decided to transform it into a media library where we could store all of our tapes, videos, records, and CD's. The pictures on this page sort of a pan around the room. It is truly a work of art and we both enjoy the room to the fullest. It's a great room to just relax and enjoy the tunage.

Part of the vast collection of albums, I'm not much of a carpenter but I did build the record shelf on the right . Like most people our age, the wife and I like to collect record albums. We have a vast collection numbering in the hundreds of just about every type of music there is to be had. there are allot of obscure and hard to find albums in our collection. We also have a huge collection of tapes and CDs as well. We certainly enjoy our music! If you would like to take a trip down memory lane, a list of our ever growing collection of albums is available by request to kg4igc@sc.rr.com and we will be happy to share them with you. Many TNX goes out to my brother in law Bill Westerlund who took the time not only to alphabetize and organize our collection, he also made this inventory for us as well!
The closet collection (no, I don't mean the gay stuff..that is in the other room:) of vinyl

Another shot of the National NC-88 The microphone on the top of the radio IS a phone! (...did I fail to mention that the XYL bargined for this radio and only paid twenty dollars at a thrift store? The asking price was 75 dollars...the only thing wrong with was it was missing two tubes)
Cocktail anyone ?? The serving set on the left is sterling silver, comes complete with little individual trays, each with their own brandy snifter, demitasse cup, ashtray, and matchbook holder. Found this little treasure at a yard sale for twenty bucks!
