Baofeng UV-5R: Alphatags

We saw it in the software...



And now that I have the radio, I've seen it on the display, too. I should add that I had to do the alphatags via the software and that my programming cable from my Wouxun KG-UVD1P worked.

Smart Zombies

ConanOBrien Michigan State has a new course on surviving a zombie apocalypse. I think it’s a trap because the perquisites are English 101 and Brrrains.Mon, Mar 12 13:06:43 from web

Coming Home?



Mostly Dead

I'd like to be more than mostly dead when they harvest my organs.

Tough Mudder or Run for Your Lives

I think these would be fun. Obviously, the 10-12 miles would be more of a challenge than the 3 mile zombie run. I would probably prefer the straight up challenge over the zombie game/gimmick.

Tough Mudder

"Tough Mudder events are hardcore 10-12 mile obstacle courses designed by British Special Forces to test your all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. With the most innovative courses, half a million inspiring participants, and more than $2 million dollars raised for the Wounded Warrior Project, Tough Mudder is the premier adventure challenge series in the world."

A Zombie Infested 5K Obstacle Course Race

"Protect your brain and run for your life. This is one race where your legs giving out are the least of your problems. Run For Your Lives is a first-of-its-kind event, one part 5K, one part obstacle course, one part escaping the clutches of zombies — and all parts awesome.

Runners will navigate a series of 12 obstacles throughout a 5K course in an attempt to reach the finish line — all while avoiding zombies. At the end of this adventure race, you get to celebrate survival (or zombie transformation) with live entertainment and music, local celebrities, vendors, food, and of course, beer!"

Vols

Getting fired up for the game at 7:30 tonight... watch McRae at around one minute thirty seconds... he made Sports Center's Top 10 with that dunk.
