Day 2

Day 2 is now complete. It was another hot day at Jambo. We spent our time preparing for the scouts to arrive on Monday. My assigned task was to setup computers, printers and in one case a network. I worked in NESA (National Eagle Scout Association) and will be back there to sign up my 4 Eagle Scout sons for a lifetime membership. I also worked in Amateur Radio (of course one of my favorites), National Exhibits, the office of Philanthropy and finishing up in Technology Quest. I also went into Fredricksburg for some dinner at a Tex-Mex restaurant named Carlos O'Kelly's. I am not sure how an Irish Mexican or is it a Hispanic Irishman? I don't know but it sure hit the spot.

I will tell you that today was very hot and muggy. It was 102 today and 102 is forecast for tomorrow. A little cooler weather is forecast for Monday and the few days after that.

In the morning however, I will get picked up by a town car and go to Arlington National Cemetery to participate in a program for the scouts from Circle 10 Council as well as some others. I was asked to help with organizing it and will be giving the benediction. Elder Charles Dahlquist III from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Chaplin of All Faiths at Jamboree will give an inspirational message.

Check back after Day 3 for additional comments.
