Adventures of the day!
- Research responsibilities of being an ICCF TO (Tournament Organizer), which lead to ...
- Research responsibilities of being an ICCF TD (Tournament Director)
- Apply to my National Federation to begin the TD certification process
- Deal once again with being nagged about the $2,000 mistaken deposit transferred to me that I have requested the Bank to reverse
.... Note: Now that a few people are emailing me on it, i basically told them that I have fulfilled more than my legal responsibility by contacting the bank and asking them to reverse it, and now that my email has been shared to others and multiple people are emailing me about it, letting them know that I will neither reply to any more emails nor will I be contacting the bank any more. I started the reversal process, it is up to them to track it down if they wish. "I hope you get your funds returned, but it will be via the Bank's and Interac's processes, not me performing a transfer to strangers.")
- Take my wife to the hairdressers
- Listen to the news in the car for 2 hours while her hair was getting done (scary Covid #s accelerating)
- pick up roti on the way home for lunch
- go for a walk
- pick up some wine for Christmas gifts
- pick up some cash for Christmas gifts
and.... most importantly....

My adventures are simpler than most folks'. Boring is good for me.

Only B1-8 would be called for the whole game. To keep with TSC Bingo levels of frustrations, we better make it a full card game then.

Well, I have parachuted before but never jumped with a wingsuit..... so farSure, Sam, sure. Then just how do you explain your outing in the red jumpsuit?
"Hey Honey! Guess what I would like for Christmas?"
I never knew you'd jumped, Sam. Way cool. Me too, in my younger days, when I was immortal.Well, I have parachuted before but never jumped with a wingsuit..... so far

Dec.17: ASD2 w/KAI(1) ..................... Paladin Sumo ....... Mama Bears Bay Rhum............. Nivea Protect & Care balm
Plopped a KAI into the ASD2 this morning and, well, I'm not sure how I feel about it. The razor was louder than normal and the shave went well enough, but my neck feels like more stubble than normal. Yeah, I don't get BBS on my neck and more than happy with a CCS; this is more like a SAS.
Later this morning, I should have a meet-up with another local shaver. Always look forward to getting to know our fellow geeks.
My jumps were all static line, Bruce. After a few of them, I decided to that it was just too expensive to stick with.

The meet-up went very well. In addition to the scheduled sale for Ed, several other items were sold and, as always, it's great to meet another local shaver, Once the weather gets warm and life becomes semi-normal again, I am sure we will meet up a few times more.
