Sunday Brunch Bake

12 large eggs
1/3 cup sour cream
1 lb. pork sausage
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 onion, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 pkg (8 oz.) shredded triple cheddar cheese

Heat oven to 400

Beat eggs and sour cream with whisk until well blended. Pour into greased 13X9 baking dish. Baked 10 min. or until egg mixture is softly set. Meanwhile, cook sausage, mushrooms and onions in large skillet on med heat 6-8 min or until sausage is done. Drain. Reduce oven temp to 325. Spoon tomatoes over egg layer, cover with sausage mixture and cheese. Bake 30 min. or until center is set.



Roast recipe

3 to 4 pound roast beef or round steak
salt and pepper
1 small onion, chopped
1 pkg. brown gravy mix
1 cup water
½ cup catsup
2 teaspoon dijon mustard ( i used reg mustard and a little worchester sauce)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ cup red wine (optional)
Place meat in slow cooking pot. Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper. Combine remaining ingredients; pour over meat. Cover and cook on low 8-10 hours.
If desired, add small peeled potatoes and carrots. Sauce can be thickened with 2 tablespoons flour dissolved in ¼ cup of water.
I usually skip the potatoes and carrots and mix the roast or round steak with egg noodles.

PDANET and USB cables for the HTC Evo...thought it was a driver problem.

First off, I'll say I'm successfully using PDANet on my Win 7 laptop with my Sprint EVO. Composing this post with it, in fact.

Initially, I was having problems getting my laptops (XP and win 7) to recognize my Evo. "Unrecognized Device" or something like that.

Downloaded the HTC/Sprint sync software hoping that would install an appropriate USB driver...but the sync software wouldn't work at all. It should work fine on Win 7 (professional in my case). Then I started looking around the net for ideas. One chap recommended trying a different USB cable...so I did. Went back to the HTC cable instead of the cheapo generic one I bought on ebay. Instant success and no failures since.

APPARENTLY, SOME OF THE CHEAP MICRO USB CABLES are not fully compatible with the Evo (or possibly other devices). It seems to charge just fine on the laptop, but not so good for data transfer.

If your phone doesn't work on your laptop, try a REAL cable with the HTC sticker on it.

Frightening that this was an issue as recently as 1973

(excerpts from)
MINUTES
MANKATO CITY COUNCIL
REGULAR MEETING, MONDAY, APRIL 9, 1973
................................

Applications for renewal of all existing on-sale club liquor licenses
were considered. Mr. Schulze questioned the policy of the Elks, Eagles and
Moose Clubs concerning racial discrimination. Al Barnett, appearing on behalf
of the Elks Club, and Tony Smetana, manager of the Eagles Club, stated that
their local clubs favored abolishment of the ''whites only" clause in club
constitutions. Further consideration of this category of licenses was
postponed to later in the meeting in order to notify a representative of the
Moose Club.


................

With the appearance of Elmer McCargar, manager of the Moose Club,
consideration of on-sale club liquor licenses was resumed. Mr. McCargar
stated that Minnesota Moose Clubs have petitioned the national organization to
strike the ''whites only'' clause from their constitution and that locally no
racial discrimination is practiced. After further discussion thereon, Mr.
Schuster moved that all existing on-sale club licenses be renewed. Motion
seconded by Mr. Schramski with Councilmen Brown, Mocol, Schramski, Schuster,
Berg and Mayor Lundin voting aye, Councilman Schulze voting nay, motion
carried.

I was VERY impressed...they answered quickly, politely, and handled my question immediately and correctly.

This was the best tech. support call I've had in YEARS.

WAY TO GO!

I'm glad Sean pointed them out to me!

Dirt cheap domains and they even come with a free starter website.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by "yours truly".

I registered k0uc.com and put up a minimal site on it. Not sure what I'll do with in the long term. Ham radio related something or another.

6m FM

Well I finally connected up my 6m 1/4 wave groundplane. Have it on the Midland Syntech FM rig scanning 22 channels! Pretty much just noise tonight. The only repeater that I had any luck with in the past was the Burnsville machine. It doesn't appear to be working at the moment....so I had a simplex converstation with myself on the Cherokee AH-50..hi hi. At least both radios worked. Might have Doug go out for a drive with the AH-50 and see what we can do on simplex. The ground plane is only up about 10 feet, so it's a flame thrower by any stretch. I'd like to get it to the 20 foot level at least.

6-Meter Calling Frequencies for Military Radios

The Military Collector's Group mailing list has selected the following calling frequencies for our green VHF radios:


51.0 MC General local FM use. Selected because all green 6M FM rigs can tune to this frequency, and crystal-controlled rigs are commonly tuned to this frequency when they leave the depot. Note that this freqency is at the edge of the radio control band, and is also near FM DX frequencies, so please limit use of this channel to low-powered rigs with lousy antennas.

51.6 MC FM DX work. Selected because all green 6M FM rigs can tune to this frequency, and it is compatible with known band plans. Also, rigs such as the PRC-68 can tune to both this frequency and 51.0 MC without reprogramming. This frequency is a common FM simplex frequency, so it should be used instead of 51.0 MC when possible, in order to avoid interfering with DX and RC users.

50.6 MC Alternate frequency, for AM, etc. Note that this frequency is at the edge of the "all-mode" band, and is near the digital/packet calling channel, so please use it with caution.

Screen replacement success - with 5/8 update

I got the new screen installed in the AOD150. Works great....I think I broke a little more structural plastic, but there's plenty spare. :)

The new screen is matte rather than glossy....and my experience would tell me that's a good thing.

More later, but I'm happy to have my netbook back on the air (literally).

5/8 Update:
The matte screen is wonderful. Very bright, just as bright as the glossy and excellent outside or in brightly lit indoors. I've been reading that the glossy screens are only for glitz factor in selling netbooks. They are OK...I'd have been happy with another one, but I think matte will be the future for netbooks as it is for "full-size" laptops. One benefit of the small netbook screen is the lower replacement price! A good thing for those of us that take our 'puters out a lot or have little kids around. Or big dads that should know better. Pick up the netbook by the base...not the screen.

http://myworld.ebay.com/screensusa - is where I got it. Fast shipping...excellent packing...perfect factory sealed screen.

Very happy with the screen. No dead pixels. Same Samsung brand screen as was OEM.

Project closed.

AOD150 Acer screen replacement

I popped open my Acer AOD150 to see how difficult LCD screen replacement will be. Well......it's certainly not a piece of cake. On a 1 to 10 scale of difficulty, I rate it about 7 or 8. I don't recommend it unless you have worked on fragile plastic devices a fair amount. It's not easy disassembling without breaking the tabs and slots, etc. I'm pretty sure I didn't do it correctly as I broke a tab or two. There are plenty and it's built fairly well, but these are tiny fragile plastic pieces that don't appear to be made for disassembly and re-assembly. And then the industrial strength double-faced tape on the front of the screen is kind of a pain.

My new screen should be here this week.

Anyone with hints on this procedure, let me know.

I had it completely apart and put the broken screen back in, and it works no worse....so that's worth something.

About $65 for the screen from "Screenusa" on Ebay.
