Funeral For DAD Ronald H Schrader
Well looks like mother nature told dad its time to go. Dad died about 630 pm Sunday April 9 th 2006. He had been fighting off Parkinsons Diseasy for nearly 12 years... with limited success thanks to his so-called "Doctors". After being taken off his feeding tube about 1 weekago for about 2 days he seemed to have imporved a litttle but that was short lived.
at the funeral there was a pretty good turn out.... above is a picture of everyone who came out to pay their final respects.

Storm Spotter Trainig for 2006
Well, this past Saturday was the annual severe weather symposium held this year at SouthWest highschool here in lincoln nebraska. It started at 9 am and i arrived at about 930am, the earliest i ever arrived to one. As soon as i got there i set up my digital camera and fired up the my dell c600 laptop and it was no more than 20 mintues i had a swarm of people even from other stations / tables saying "how did you get online" . I told them my wifi card was set for it as i also have WIFI at home ... so they had to peak at my gateway address and as far as i know i think they may have gotten online using the LPS internet connection. It came in handy after i didnt have a radio in the building to track the weather baloon that was launched about 1045am. I was actually surprised that it was listed on www.findu.com . the baloon made it to about 92,000 feet and landed in south west iowa about 400 miles away.
I amoung others, were taking pictures of the baloon before and after but i think im the only one who shot video of its launch HAHAHA.
