And now for the monthly weather, whether you want it or not, report! There will be clearing and cloudy skies for the next month with intermittent sun and/or rain mixed with hail, the type golfers like, strong to moderate winds out of the north-south gusting east or west. No matter what the weather is going to be YOU won't be able to do a thing about it - Thank God. Has anyone ever wondered why Busby on Ch 9 TV has a 98% success rate in calling the temperature? That seems a bit unreal to me. Like they say - inquiring minds don't want to know.
I should be back at the June meeting if all goes well with my next doctor's appointment and I don't see why it shouldn't. I hope to get back to work also, I'm not quite ready to retire just yet.
Leslie tells me that everyone seemed to be able to find his house OK, I guess that is a start. Have there been any other plans as to where the club could meet? It seems like the club has done a full circle in its lifetime.
Leslie did tell me that he emailed Frank Scott and he did get a response from him so he is alive and well. Leslie was inquiring to see if he knew why we can't download from the BBS with Novaterm - no one seems to have the answer or if they do they are keeping it to themselves. This should be a project for the whole club - not just one person. We don't seem to have that old spirit anymore and I don't know why, or is just me?
Since there was no change in our membership at the last meeting, our finances remain the same as last month; i.e., $174.45 in the bank account.
I hope to see you all at Leslie's home on June 6th, until then - be nice!
I still have 64s and 128s with 1541 and 1571 drives. I also have monitors and printers just sitting in my basement doing nothing. For a small price they can be in your home doing something! Call or see me at the next meeting. My phone # is 816-761-4777 and I am home most days after 4 PM.

The Group meeting for May was held on Wednesday, May 2nd at the Lacy home.
Yours Truly was ill with a nasty cold, but I showed up at the meeting anyway to infect everyone. I was too delirious to take many notes, but I vaguely recall using Les' system to connect to the BBS using Novaterm 9.6. Hopefully Les picked up some knowledge (and not my cold virus!)
Finally, a reminder about the next Group meeting. See you at the Lacy home at 7:00 on Wednesday, June 6th.
