Monday

Ham + Pea Presidents day.

Grocery shopping today.

Tuesday

Got onto the radio with Paul and checked in on the Waterway net. 2 Hrs LOL

Kathy went to Dental to get some braces. We ended up going to Longhorn for lunch because of timing conflicts.

Wednesday

Cleaned out Blue Focus back seat in preparation for getting it serviced.

Killed the wireless router for Home Assistant with the microwave. It popped the bedroom ARC Fault breaker and that took out the router. I ended up standing up a wireless router on my desk to run Home Assistant during the night.

Ordered some RF cable to move the backyard antenna.

Thursday

Didn’t make it onto Waterway nor did I talk to Paul this morning, he was working his “Honey Doo” list.

Tried to reload the firmware onto the Mango router, it was still being difficult. I ended up tossing it into recycling and replacing it with a spare.

The humidifier was off, apparently I didn’t turn it back on after the fiasco with the breaker. The humidity is below 40%, which is low in the wintertime.

Bought a pair of drum spurs, they look old. (But all I need is the ends anyway.)
Played Bingo with the elderly.
Watched Hallmark movie with the wife.
Made some FT8 contacts while looking for a cure for my feet.
Updated my Daytimer pages in my daily book.

Friday

Joined Paul on the Waterway Net this morning. Played around with FT8 trying to figure out how to properly adjust the power settings. With a full waterfall it’s almost impossible to adjust the frequency, adjust the power and know which phase the transmit is in.

We went to Longhorns for lunch, met up with the woman that got into an accident, and she’s got a job as a School Bus driver! We gave Terresa several 20’s for “Pay It Forward”. I did not see Lizbeth today.

Drove to the candy store for a roll of antenna wire, it was a bad move to do that during rush hour though.

The coax did come in to properly ground the coax at the mast of the antenna. It will also allow me to push the antenna closer to the center of the yard.

Saturday

Checked into the Waterway Net with my Uncle while sipping on a cup of coffee.
