Papa's big day

We have reached a milestone!! Today Papa took the test to become a HAM radio operator. He could only miss 7 questions out of 35 to pass, so he passed it with 100%. He is so very proud of himself and I am too. If he had taken that test a couple of years ago, he would not have remembered all the information, but I guess the medication he's on is finally working right and he is able to keep things in his mind. He has been studying for two weeks and it has really paid off. He bought a hand held radio and will have his call signs in a week. Then he can qualify to get on the North American Mission Board's Ham team to go out on national disasters. Sometimes that is the only communication that we have and it will be nice to have it at home. There are lots of rules and regulations to operating a HAM station, but he is good with rules, so it will work great for him. I didn't tell him, but with him working his mind so much, it helps to ward off allhymers {sp.}. Have a good day, all. We're getting ready for more rain tonight. I think we'll just build an ark.
