Test, Class, etc.

Linda attempted another round of Microsoft Office Word & Excel exams in Glendale, AZ. Passed Word but did not pass Excel. There are too many things on the exam that I can't practice on my version of Office.

Tom & Linda spent the second weekend out of town for CERT training. That's Community Emergency Response Team. Our Lake Havasu City team is awesome and really busy. Not so much with emergencies, although we do assist the fire department at major fires. We provide first aid stations at various city events and we volunteer when we can. The team helped recently at the HavaBBQ, Travis Tritt Show, and last night, the Relay for Life. Now that we've completed Mohave County training, we can work for the county also and be covered under their insurance.

Monday night is the last class of our Citizens' Police Academy, then they provide the class dinner the following Monday night. This will culminate 12 weeks of very informative Monday evenings on the inner workings of the police department. We have never gotten out of class on time but have never minded; each class is very interesting. We've heard from the undercover officers, patrol, neighborhood watch, dispatch, hands-on CSI, K-9 demo, and much more.

We're hosting a geocaching event on May 2 to celebrate 10 years of geocaching. We had one for Pi Day and had a lot of fun playing Jeopardy so we're going to have Geo-Jeopardy, based on the history of geocaching.

Sunday morning, we went to our ham club president's house to see a demo on radio contesting. We also got some information on antennas and looks like we'll be putting our antenna outside soon. It will work more efficiently outdoors rather than strung across the den.
