Cold.\u00a0 Wet.\u00a0\u00a0 More cold later.\u00a0\u00a0 40F when I went to bed.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Wed. wasn’t too bad.\u00a0 I wore a jacket and just a sweatshirt while I was working at my storage unit.<\/p>\n
I did manage to rearrange, sort, and stack stuff.\u00a0\u00a0 Made room to get some stuff out of the house.\u00a0\u00a0 We will have room for a Christmas tree now…\u00a0 which we will have to get today.\u00a0 And my mom, we’ll have to get her too. And an antenna tower.\u00a0\u00a0 Gotta get that.<\/p>\n
Oh, child 1 will be getting her braces off.\u00a0\u00a0 If they get up after staying up to all hours watching the Addams family movies again.\u00a0 Missed the appointment Wednesday morning due to sleeping in.\u00a0 I guess we’ll see how important it really is.<\/p>\n
Once D1 is not a brace face anymore, and W1 has dropped her car at the repair place for some brake work, I’ll\u00a0 be free to pick up my big antenna tower.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s a Wade DMX 52.\u00a0\u00a0 Free standing, no guys, good for 3 sq ft of antenna wind load.\u00a0\u00a0 Some how the anchors and hardware kit seem to have gone missing so I’ll have to order those, but it looks like it was never installed.\u00a0\u00a0 I might try to sell it at the hamfest in March, as it is really pretty dang big (52 ft tall!)\u00a0 Setting it up at the BOL would give me better reach and reception for ham radio… but it’s a $4000 antenna tower, and if I could get half that, I’d make good money on it.\u00a0\u00a0 On the other hand, I’d never get an antenna tower like it for the money I paid.\u00a0 On the gripping hand, I’ll have to order the parts kit and anchors from the factory, and dig a big hole and fill it with concrete in order to set up the tower.\u00a0 That probably won’t be cheap, but it would be common expense to any tower.<\/p>\n
Choices.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, my wife will be taking my expedition to pick up my mom from the airport.\u00a0\u00a0 So I better make sure it’s clean and fueled before I head out.\u00a0\u00a0 Probably should get some groceries in, since it’s my normal time to do that.\u00a0 Hope the panic buying hasn’t stripped the store.\u00a0 Oh, and I should at least test the gennie… and the heaters.<\/p>\n
Work.\u00a0 Got plenty, thanks.<\/p>\n
Stack stuff.\u00a0\u00a0 Learn stuff.\u00a0\u00a0 Build your network.<\/p>\n
