06-09-2026 - 5:00 AM - Good Morning! It’s Taco Tuesday, and since I mowed the yard yesterday, I don’t have anything scheduled for today. Google the location of our various taco-vending food trucks. They're easy to find. I updated the International Space Station Passes Over Wichita Falls page with a few more events. Our lake levels rose a little more since yesterday. We could use more. My Folgers Black Silk coffee is ready.

6:10 AM - I became interested in Amateur (ham) Radio as a kid in the early 1960s. I ordered study material from the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), but never did anything with it. My CB Radio life began on Christmas Day, 1964, when I received a pair of Spacephone walkie-talkies. From then until 1982, it was CB Radio for me. Then I got a Bearcat 220 programmable scanner radio, and everything changed. MORE!

--- 8:15 AM - From Google AI Overview - In Texas, "horse tripping" is strictly prohibited under the state's animal cruelty laws. Under Texas Penal Code § 42.09, intentionally tripping or roping a horse's legs to force the animal to fall and trip is classified as a criminal offense." I just thought you might want to know that.

9:35 AM - Our two new high schools, Legacy and Memorial, are, in my opinion, grand structures. I toured the Legacy location last year. While the formal tours might be over, getting an opportunity to stroll the building is worth the trip. Both schools are identical. I was surprised to find that there is no rifle range for R.O.T.C., and cadets have to be bused to the old schools for that activity. Unknown if this shortcoming will be, or has been, rectified.
