I took the pup for a walk this morning and as the time was different my local coffee and breakfast spot was open. I told her my dog was with me and she invited her in and even gave her a cup of whipped cream. Winnie's Ethiopian Coffee is a great spot.

Thank you once again to South Park for holding the mirror up to America and driving us to realize how stupid we are looking. The Peter Theil theme song, or strong Christian women or the many other hidden Easter eggs. They once again show that they are the kings of satire.

Good morning / good evening / From where me and the pup are doing ham radio this weekend along the PCT for a ham contest called the Washington State Salmon Run, where the goal is to get as many counties, so I am on a county line.

I know a few mountain top tower sites that maybe he could camp inside the fence line for a few weeks. This one is a 100kw entercom Tower... You know, for research.

Isn't it fun living in a cyberpunk society where the big companies fight with each other about merger deals while dear leader actively picks which things he wants cut before a deal is made. BTW Fuck Disney/ABC/Trump

RF Exposure Calculator says that I should keep people and pets over 4.4 feet away. Good things to know when you're operating ham radio portable in a park around people and between park benches. 50w digital or 100w voice

I went to Field Day with my other HAM club the PSRG and setup in their rig roundup area and got to show off my camping/portable setup. Lots of fun and good outreach. And I try to avoid the static 🤔🤣

Ok 🤷♂️ But does anybody enjoy flying Sprit Airlines. Does anybody care if they go bankrupt? I feel like this is a good thing...

Well I took Lulu on our first trail ride since another dog attacked her and she pulled me off the board and broke my arm. Now I am at home trying to recover from the autistic overload of worrying about her. Not the same as last week's solo ride when it calmed my ADHD. UGG my AuADHD #dogsofbluesky

When I need to feed my AuADHD brain there are few things that calm it like an eak8 ride. It's a big fight between my adversity hating autistic side and ADHD side that is seeking new crazy adventures (danger). The most recent ride had the trail full of flowers 😍.

Here come Blue Angles for #SeaFair
Personally I love them being ex military.
It's kinda fun seeing roar over the skies of downtown. But I am sure Lulu will dislike them a lot while I am at work.

Yes, Yes you do. I love my big ole 120" whip on my van draggin in the wind behind me when I am on the freeway, or beating all the branches when I am on the trail. But my DX Commander Epd (left) is a much much better antenna if I have a chance to deploy it.
