- Well, it’s the almost the middle of June and its still been too cold for me to want to go out on the kayak fishing. The next few weeks seem promising but we’ll wait and see. Chris and Stephanie have had their Lab “Willow” up at field training this pass week and she’s done brilliantly! I’ve been spending time getting the garages cleaned up and rearrange in anticipation of my new Toyota Highlander to arrive and using the time to get rid of a lot of useless junk. I’m sure you all can relate. I’ve also been reloading my trap shotgun shells to save a few bucks and that’s worked out great too.
- All for now.
Field Training with the Dogs

I've posted a new video showing my daughters dog "Willow" doing some seek and point training with the Vandergriff family at the Viking Valley Hunt Club near Ashby, Minnesota. You can find it in the video section.
Do You Know How A Zener Diode Works ??

For My Former Delta Friends - Inside Joke 😂
Well, if you are in I.T., then you clearly are not a trained electronics technician, so why would you.
And…No, I'm not challenging you so chill?
A Zener Diode, also known as a breakdown diode, is a heavily doped semiconductor device that is designed to operate in the reverse direction. When the voltage across the terminals of a Zener diode is reversed and the potential reaches the Zener Voltage (knee voltage), the junction breaks down and the current flows in the reverse direction. This effect is known as the Zener Effect.
How does a Zener Diode work in reverse bias?
A Zener diode operates just like a normal diode when it is forward-biased. However, when connected in reverse biased mode, a small leakage current flows through the diode. As the reverse voltage increases to the predetermined breakdown voltage (Vz), current starts flowing through the diode. The current increases to a maximum, which is determined by the series resistor, after which it stabilizes and remains constant over a wide range of applied voltage.
