Very easy on the SLCC indoor track this evening. I just came across a new radio for rehab and this is really a nice one on the outside which is rare for age 73. Unfortunately it needs some real TLC on the inside including replacement of a very hard to find ballast tube. Needless to say it had my mind preoccupied during the run on how to come up with a solid state fix for this one.

Simple really, It's either two big ugly high heat, high wattage power resistors or it's find the golden ballast tube somewhere. Sorry, its a bug I caught years ago but which now has come into full swing lately. I can't decide which hobby I love more... I think the antique radios are winning by the looks of my blog wouldn't you agree? Darkhorse out..

I would suggest the antique radios. Even thought it will be hard to find parts, i think you would get more satisfaction from fixing them. Great running today! How is school going?

Barry-I'm super busy on 4 days of the week between commuting to Kaysville (work)at night and then back to school in the afternoon. But, I'm hanging in there and not giving up. I'm actually looking forward to the math and AC/DC theory sections coming up soon now. Have you found work yet? I have not had a chance to read your blog or anyone else's for that matter. Sorry..:(

Thanks for stopping by though:) I didn't think anyone even read this blog any more!

Wow, you are really busy. But in the long run you and your family will be better off. I do have to say one thing, that you are crazy in wanting to get into the math for AC/DC. I was in the electronics at ISU and it was very tough for me. But you like that stuff and i know you will do awesome. How long is this schooling for you? Sorry i have not wrote down anything in my blog this week. I am being lazy. Kory and i usually run ten plus a day. Except today where we just ran by each other and did not see one another. (LOL) My pace averages between 6:56 and 7:15 and on a really good day 6:27 per mile. It sure is great to hear from you. Talk to you later......

Barry, Most days I'm just going at 7:30-8/min pace. I have lost some fitness but overall I think my body came out better for it. No more little chronic aches and pains that signal degeneration. I do this every year and within a short time I am always back to where I left off within a few months.

Are you wanting to fit in a race this year? I am thinking about running the Provo 1/2 marathon in June.
