M1 to M2, over. Roger that! Oh-oh, looks like I've become a dangerous weapon. I think my husband would argue that it occurred longggg agoooo. 
Well if I AM a weapon, then an M1 is very, very cool in my book. 
I remember when I was little (some would say I STILL am), dad had a CB radio and our call letters were, KHG 1147. I would just adore talking to my dad on it as he came home from work. Lots of great memories. He would get a big kick when I talked to his buddies too. As I stated, great memories.
Dad was fearless also. Used to climb the huge CB tower in the backyard like a monkey. Would scare the you-know-what out of me. Ya, don't look. 
You sure stirred up a lot of things in this ol' head when you start talking about all this. Makes me smile. 
The book is FAR from being completed, but of course will let everyone here know when it's done. Didn't get a heck of a lot accomplished this summer as far as the writing was concerned. Had too much on my plate with the remodeling job, which is still ongoing. I should have plenty of time to write this winter, and PLAN on it. Also thinking of taking the train to attend the PA reunion next month. It's about a 13 hour trip one-way, but figure I can idle that away and write, write, write. I think it's a great idea. Sure could use some ME TIME!
