Fort Wayne Hamfest

Sat Nov 19 2005 this is the 1st day of the hamfest.Toby N9FDF and me went and stayed all day and bought stuff for our junk boxes.We had breakfast at bob evans and then went and waited in line for it to open up.We had a nice time and there was a lot to see.

Well last week tiggy went to the dr for her 2 year checkup and they couldnt get a urine sample so they did it with a needle and i wasnt consulted over this and am not happy over it either and then i had to buy antibiotics. She seems ok and today at 3pm she sees the dr again.I sure hope all is ok.

Here is a nice set of pictures of our family
