2019's Greatest Hits

Continuing the tradition, here's the top post (or series) from each month.  On with the show!

New Year's Resolve  Mostly achieved these goals too, but then the bar was pretty low.
Gear Review: Osprey 22 Daypack  This is a great piece of gear that, again, is about "get outside."
Tuxachanie Trail Series:  Tuckered  Navigation  Water  All the Rest  
Ham Camp  Operated solar-powered QRO for two days on a ten pound system.
A Visit to the Chalmette Battlefield  Where America first definitively kicked international butt.
Five Lessons from Apollo  Short and sweet, with a link to the extended version.
Dwarf Cypress Forest  No dwarves, just a bunch of short trees.  No elves or ents either.
DIY Hiking/Backpacking/MTB First Aid Kit  Lightweight and practical.
The Baytles Play the Bird  You know all the tunes.  It was a fun evening with old friends.
Coffeneuring 2019  (multipart) Challenge accepted, goal accomplished.
Oysters in Trouble in MS, AL  Don't let this happen to your river.
Lessons from Ham Camp #19  A wet, challenging weekend, and also a lot of fun.

Let's add a few honorable mentions while we're at it:
More New Antenna  Taking up the New Year's Resolve of "get outside," this gear helped.
The book on software development, or How Not to Program Like Gerald Ford is Still President.
Yaesu FTM-7250D Quick Start Programming  A completely different sort of programming. 
Osprey Synchro 5 Hydration Pack Review  Biggest single innovation in hydropacks since the 90's.

Note that eleven of these sixteen items involve getting outside in some form.  Overall, it looks like one of the main initial goals was met, and with some enthusiasm.  Lots of other things were posted over the year, so have a look around.

Well, on to 2020 and to all the fresh new adventures the new year will bring.  But first, the Pic of the Year:

Not as cold as it looks.  Originally posted on 12/8/19.
