Summer Doldrums

Last weekend was a tranquil affair involving sleeping late, coffee at the Mockingbird, and getting carried off by bugs from the Bethel mountain bike trails.  Caught up on some reading, but didn't quite finish any books worth mentioning.

Maybe more later, maybe just take a break for a bit here.

In the meantime, here's a tale of climbing a mountain and rigging a temporary 160 meter antenna.  I envy the guy and his bearably cool weather over across the pond, though I'll be glad to be on the Gulf coast and not atop a windswept mountain in just a few months.  Got to give 160 meters QRP a shot next winter.
