Author Topic: Hello everyone....its been a while Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 07-09-2008 11:00 PM                        Just wanted to check in and say I haven't quite fallen off the face of the earth, quite the contrary actually. After leaving art cinema I started working in TV, working for a fox affiliate run by a micromanaging GM up here in Fargo. That lasted a little over a year and I'm back in radio again, building a new studio complex for a new 50KW AM on 1100 and an existing 50KW FM that had to be spun off from a JSA. Hope to have both on the air from the new studios by early August. I've also been doing the road racing thing, usually finishing in the top ten in our club, CRA, with the home track being BIR in Brainerd, MN. I also ride track days at a couple of regional tracks, mainly Road America in Wisconsin, and Mid America Motorplex, near Omaha. The 94X thing went dark this spring, just too much other stuff going on to give it the attention and time it needed to be of the quality I wanted. Besides, now I have a TV TX to play with I also got my ham license(KD0EJW) and became SBE certified (CBRE), the former with the intention of putting an onboard camera on the bike and a ham tv transmitter in the tail so I could review my riding. I'm also leaving the area this fall for...where else...Texas. Going to be putting in a crapload of DLP's from the sounds of it, mabe some radio and racing on the side. ..This thing is starting to sound an awful lot like our annual Christmas letter.. some pics from BIR Turn three heavyweight superbike in turn three. Turn ten, not sure what class though.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 07-09-2008 11:59 PM                       quote: Josh Jones KD0EJW Welcome to the fold, brother!

Good to hear that you are now in broadcast. Please note that you should monitor yourself for ulcers on a regular basis. That business runs on black coffee and adrenalin, both hard on the digestive system.

Pics show GOOD lines and GOOD eyes for looking THRU the turn. Wish I had the ability to do a little track practice. It's awesome to see what a bike will do in a controlled environment! I wondered what you'd been up to... Good to hear from you again!  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 07-11-2008 11:46 AM                        Thanks for all the replies guys. I have been lurking on here from time to time but just havent posted in a while. It's nice to let someone else do the bitching for a change. As far as the riding goes, its getting better. This is my second year of racing, just got back from two days of racing at BIR(12 races in 90 degree heat....drink lots) followed by two track days at Road America. I'm definately trying to rack up some seat time! I'd like to have a podium finish before the year is out. JJ  |  IP: Logged James R.

Where in Texas will you be?  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 07-16-2008 06:39 PM                        Dallas or points east is the plan for now.

One thing's for sure, you won't need that red wool hat in Texas. There'll be none of those West Fargo winters in Dallas! Don't be a stranger; keep us posted. It's been a trip watching you grow up in front of our eyes. Best of luck on your new adventures.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-18-2008 01:07 AM                  Happy belated B'day, Josh!
