Staying at home

  I am a lazy slug.  I should be on my way to Skywarn training.  But I just woke up and am here nude in front of the computer checking my email and playing with the design of Facebook.  I do not even like Facebook.
  I do not even have a ham radio right now.  The last HT I had I sold and my plan was to get a new one but I have not had the money recently.  My plan was to get a Yaesu FT-60R.  It is a very good radio and is only $200.00 for the radio and a couple of things you need for it.  Well now Yaesu just came out with a new HT (Handheld Transceiver) and it is the Yaesu VX-8R.  It does everything but cost $400.00 and now I want it.  I am never going to have $400.00 for it. 
  When it comes to geek tech type toys I always want the top of the line stuff and I never can afford those items.  Well not since I retired in 2000 and moved to FL. 
  So my excuse for not going to the training is that I do not have a HT.  Plus the idea of taking a bus, then the rail and then a bus to get to the event in this heat just does not turn me on today.  I would have to repeat the trip home in the afternoon sun.
  I also hate going anyplace broke.  Last month when I went to the doctor’s office I had money in my pocket so after the doctor’s office visit I went to MetroPCS and got a new cell phone ($300.00) and got something to eat.  I walked home from the doctor’s office.  It all took hours but I did not care I had a new toy, my cell phone, and I got to eat out, KFC, and I had a Coke.  It was a great day.  It does not take me spending $300.00 a day to make me happy.  I do think spending money makes me happy.  That is not good. 
  I feel guilty for not going to the Skywarn training.  Sort of like I used to feel when I was in high school and I would not go to school.
