Beautiful Day over Here,
Today is what postcards are made of. I sat at the breakfast table
looking out over snow covered hills and mountains with the frost melting
and dripping off my roof pass the window. The sky is as clear as it
could every be, its 45 degrees and warming fast. As I ate, the
hummingbirds were feeding 18 inches from my plate at their feeder,
rabbits were feeding in the yard and the cat from across the street is
crawling in for breakfast also.

Ahhhh ... let's go for ice cream !

Car wouldn't start after work this morning, got a ride home then took the
bicycle back with "Heet" and a booster pack. -5F (and windchill ??) to get it
started.

Coldest bicycle ride ever for me (3 miles).

Well, it's not _that_ cold.

Had a face mask, no face was no problem, but legs got friggen cold (blue
jeans).

Actually walked back to work the next day with a different car battery in a
back pack ... temp was 0 F, but with a big hooded parka, it wasn't too bad (3
miles). Although my legs got fairly tired lugging that bugger up the hills.

I try to get in some hiking every month; used to be weekly but I kinda lost
interest in the winter . .

& yes my legs ache afterwards ;-)

- Very good news ...

- Need to find a proper SW radio for walking around in these conditions..

I'd probably get pulled over for looking too weird. Out walking at zero degrees
farenheit is weird enough, but adding a big whip antenna to my backpack would
surely get some attention !

(so many things to fix ... so little time)

Had my eTR7 outside today (Sunday). With the wx sunny and 74F, I sat on my
porch, eating a baby pizza, drinking a beer, and surfing the SW bands.12, 15,
and 17 MHz were open.

Life is good in SE Texas.

I went grocery shopping the other night when the temperature was -5/F.
When I came out of the store with the groceries, I decided to do an
experiment. I tied a one gallon bottle of juice to the car's roof rack
and drove home. The wind chill was at least -50/F when the car was
moving. When I got home the juice was almost frozen solid. It went from
room temperature to frozen in 15-minutes. It would take at least two
hours to do that in a refrigerator freezer.
