W2LJ QRP .... Do More With Less

It seems surreal that just two Sundays ago, I was sitting in Washington
Rock State Park making QSOs at a picnic bench. The temperatures were in the
60s (18C). Today, I woke up and the thermometer read 8F (-13C). The
temperatures took a nose dive on Friday and this weekend was frigid. So
instead of doing much operating, I spent Saturday and a bit of today
cleaning the shack.

I'll admit it, I got sloppy and lazy the last few months. But on top of
that, it seems the rest of the family used my little area of the basement
as a dumping ground for cardboard, Christmas wrapping stuff and other
effluvia. I spent the day cleaning, tossing and organizing, and ended up
filling up five large garbage bags. I also cut up about a dozen cardboard
boxes and consolidating them for our bi-weekly recycling pick up tomorrow.
I can now sit in my shack again without being totally disgusted with myself!

Here's a video tour of the somewhat cleaned up W2LJ shack:


I apologize for the video quality as it's not the best; and I'm still
getting used to this.
