Um, OK, I can probably find someone closer that will charge less than several thousand!

I upgraded from Windows 7 to 10 a few months ago. I still don't like Windows 10, but have it tamed down a bit, so it's tolerable. There are tutorials on how to get it set up so it more resembles 7.

Well, we were able to get out today. DH was determined that I was going to get a chance to take the test that I had long studied for.

The roads were frankly only so so. We had about a quarter inch of ice on everything along with an inch and a half of snow. No roads were treated but the interstate was clear. We just had to get from point A to point B.

The good news is.....I PASSED!

I only missed one question out of 50. One that I didn't think I'd answered wrong. The one I was in question about, I got right...go figure.

So I've attained the highest ranking of Amateur Radio Operator. No more studying, no more trowing the books across the room and swearing at miserable excuses of human beings that come up with the almost impossible questions that they inflict on the applicants.

Tee hee...I won't know what to do with all the spare time I have now....OH I know! Quilt! Do some sketches and paintings!

DH asked me when I was going to get back to studying Morse Code now that I had finished Element 4......

Once again, if I repeated what I said, I'd get banned...

I did discover that I had a night visitor to my coop last night. Fox prints all over in the snow. Around the run, in the barn. I think it was just perusing for rabbits but if you think you don't have predators afoot, just check out fresh snow for a real wake up!

Congrats! How wonderful!

Congratulations.

Thanks @CapricornFarm. I really don't know what I would have done without DH to help coach me through this study. He has a natural knack for electronics (worked on recorders and other electronics for the ASA in Korea during the Nam war) and did electronics for a short while before becoming an eye doctor. He also has a knack for math which I don't have. Oh, I can do it, I just don't like it and tend to try to hard and over complicate it all.

He always says he is impatient. I told the club members today (they actually gave me an ovation!)that he had the patience of a saint and frankly he does.

When I got my first HAM license, I swore I wouldn't advance. Now a year and a half later and I've finished my studies.

Good to know the old brain still works!
