You win some and you lose some

General catch-all post here.

Nanoha A's is completely finished. Insert song sequence with dialogue and captions is evil! Took five pages of notes on which subtitles needed to be photoshopped... ah well, it's done. No word on when/where/how it will actually be released, I'm afraid.

Alternating between Lucky Star and Aika work. Curious to see if the modern R-16 lives up to the fanservice of its spiritual predecessors. ;p

Went to the local ham club banquet last Friday with Dad. Yeah, I have a ticket, though it's just Tech class... now that they have no-code licenses I really ought to sit down and study up for the Extra class. I had all the physics back in college. Dad's ham license kept him out of Vietnam... long story for another day. Anyway, we go to the NARS club annual banquet, have some fun with some old friends of Dad's, ate some frankly lousy chicken... and won one of these ICOM IC-V8 hand-held units! I've been fond of them ever since I got the IC-2000 for my mobile rig ten, eleven years ago, and it's still hanging in there strong, even surviving a theft attempt. (Go go chaining it under the seat...) The ironic thing is that we won the handy-talky with Mom's raffle ticket, even though she couldn't come because of the flu.

So today Mom's recovered and back to work... and Dad promptly slips and breaks his foot at a chemical plant in Lake Jackson. Clean break of the tibia right near the ankle. He'll be home for a while, and none too happy about it, but at least I'll be here to help him out...

1 Ouch. That's no fun. I hope your father has a remarkably speedy recovery.
