Walkie-talkie and movie

[banjoplayinnerd]

Turns out the walkie-talkie isn't quite as fixed as I would have liked. Not only did the positive terminal from the battery I replaced come loose, before it did somehow I managed to short across the battery again. I'll tackle it tonight. This time for sure, Rocky! The replacement screws for the back came in, so I should be able to assemble it once I finally get this right. I've given it a couple of trial runs, and either the push-to-talk button has gotten stiff or I'm getting weak in the hands (or maybe both). On payday I plan to order an aftermarket speaker/microphone, which will suit the use I plan to put the walkie-talkie to better.

Went to the movie yesterday with my wife, daughter, granddaughter and a couple of my granddaughter's friends. We saw The Secret Of Arrietty. Everybody liked it, but then Studio Ghibli hasn't disappointed us yet that I can remember. The only thing I can think of to complain about is the price.

Oh, and I have my Norwescon schedule! A bunch of music stuff as usual, plus I will be on a panel called "Tweet Think" - "If u communic8 140 characters at a time, does it change ur brain and the way u think about things?" Should be interesting.
