A bit cooler, but still wet.\u00a0 Forecast is for more rain, possible storms…\u00a0 but still just on the edge of any serious weather.\u00a0\u00a0 Like yesterday.\u00a0 Just wet enough to keep me inside most of the day.<\/p>\n
Did my swapmeet\/sale\/non-prepping hobby meeting.\u00a0\u00a0 Good turnout, maybe double our normal?\u00a0 And a couple of new club members from last month came back for more.\u00a0 It’s hard to grow a club.\u00a0\u00a0 The ham magazine is full of advice, which tells me most clubs aren’t growing and don’t know what to do about it.\u00a0\u00a0 Attrition is a factor in most of the clubs I’m interested in.\u00a0 Tempus fugit, momento mori, and all that.\u00a0\u00a0 No one gets out alive.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s nice to share an enthusiasm with other people.\u00a0 We are social creatures after all.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s also important to mix with people outside your normal day to day groups, so you can get a wider picture of what is going on in the world.<\/p>\n
After the meeting I mostly piddlefarted around\u00a0 the house.\u00a0\u00a0 Domestic bliss- cleaning and laundry, cooking dinner, etc… and auction stuff.\u00a0 I did do a bit of tech.\u00a0 I found a ubiquiti Nanostation Loco M2 I’d removed from service and decided to see if it was recoverable to use at the BOL.\u00a0\u00a0 It wasn’t.\u00a0 Deader than a\u00a0 dead parrot.\u00a0 I opened it up and looked at the board, but didn’t find any smoke releasing components.\u00a0\u00a0 Lightning killed it, and left no trace.\u00a0\u00a0 So I ordered a pair of new Nanostation M5s.\u00a0\u00a0 We’ll see how they work.<\/p>\n
Today is Mother’s Day, so I will be working on that all day.\u00a0 I think we’ll be cooking a beef ribeye roast, potatoes, asparagus, and homemade bread for dinner. \u00a0 I hope the one I had in the freezer is big enough. \u00a0 Dang kids are eating me out of house and home.<\/p>\n
It used to be the case, don’t know if it still is, that Mother’s Day had the heaviest call volume of any day of the year.\u00a0\u00a0 Don’t let it pass unused.<\/p>\n
Stack something, use something from your stacks.\u00a0 Say Hi to Mom, if you still can.<\/p>\n
