Recently operated a station for a big foot race. Attended the pre-race operations briefing breakfast.
Three days later? Covid (my first time, yeah.) Wife has it too now. It's our 40th Anniversary.
It's been a week. Still very puny. So bored I'm reading my spam folder. 😂

Thanks bro. The cottage remodel project is not a linear process. Tons of noodling that I enjoy. (Nothing is exactly straight, using found material... etc.)
The calendar is showing slow a bit, yes?
Some stuff (especially bucket list stuff) one should not rush.
Savor, might be the word.

A long list of ARES repeater definitions for our region arrived via email. A PDF.
I scraped & cleaned to .CSV table. Imported to CHIRP & cloned some radios.
Love to help, but no one listens. Old guys, fumbling at #hamradio buttons... 😂 seldom get it right. Always get frustrated.

Another commercial " #Church ." Pardon me for objecting.

Here's the paywall.
No, seriously ... Fundamentally? This is NOT real faith. Pay to play? Another rich "pastor." Ugh.

Using the back of sheets, quartered for notes? For decades.
Maybe not so much because I’m frugal. Its probably more like how limited and fractured my thinking processes are. I just don’t have attention span to fill much space?
Ok, next.

The 10W Xeigu (rear) via a little POTA antenna and the old tablet PC sent an email over the 20m band today … target station was 1200 mi distant.
To me? That’s massively cool.

Xeigu x6100 … my secret is tuned EFHW long wire.
Just snagged a “shack in a box” Yaesu ft-857d mated to a sweet tuner. Used gear, all.

#hamradio NanoVNA calibrated just prior to the sweeping my DIY 10M dipole antenna.
S2 port not connected.
Screenshot via Windows tablet connection.
Result? Will shorten the antenna a couple of inches… and measure again. 🥸

Contemplating companionship…
An aspect of “just being” together is found in unconscious faultlessness.
Just being has no vector for assessment. Companions swim together in scalar fields of empathy and compassion…
My dog is great at companionship. I mostly suck at it, unfortunately.

This fellow asks me in a rhetorical way: "How do you know if they are good people?" Referring to neighbors' questionable proclivities.
I answered: "Have them empty their pockets. Anybody with a doggie dew-dew bag, is good people."

There's a metaphysical in-variance and kind of cosmic symmetry in (slow to fast burn) throughout nature.
Erm... Maybe if you squint?
Not the first analogy between gravity and love; that which compels the universe pervades nature.

Happy Memorial Day.
