06-10-2024 - Good Morning! It's Monday, and I'm trying to decide if it will rain or if I need to water the yard myself. I think I'll water the yard because a 40% chance of rain might not help me or my yard today. I have no big radio plans for today. I'm not sure I'll try for any Parks on the Air® action. Instead, I need to devise an Amateur (ham) Radio activity that involves our local city parks. I'll need another cup of coffee before I begin that mental chore.

06-08-2024 - Good Morning! It's Saturday. I mowed the yard yesterday, and today my only chores are to go to the Farmers Market (8th & Austin location) to get a salsa refill from Joey, The Salsa Guy, and then out to Natural Grocers. I just had a flashback of former Wichita County Sheriff Bill Burrow. He resigned mid-term around 1985. If a reason was given, I don't remember what it was. I remember him only because he had his name on the door of all patrol vehicles. I thought it was a bit unusual. My coffee is ready, so I'll pour a cup and see who's who and what's what on Ham Radio, CB Radio, and the scanner radio.
