Expecting rain through Sunday, so no post hole diggin' this weekend!
And as we welcome Summer to the year, the NWS in Denver has issued a Winter Storm Warning, with up to 10" of new snow above 9000', along with a Tornado Warning for Elbert County, which is East of Colorado Springs. Must be GloBULL Warming!
And this weekend is the ARRL Field Day, and as last year, I'm sitting this one out. Strangely enough, I didn't get any announcements from the local club concerning the when/where of the event this year, but from their website, it's in the same location as last year. Seeing as how the weather is going to be miserable for Ham Radio Field Ops, I'm not planning on making the 45 minute drive out to observe.....
Enjoy the weekend!
Admiral Yamamoto infamously said "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a man with a rifle behind every blade of grass."
And so it should be, a nation of riflemen....

What I've Been Up To....
Started this post on Monday, then came down with a head cold, which is now progressing South. Feeling better, but still a bit woozy...... To...

Yawn....just more Kabuki Theater, but interesting reading, nonetheless. Read All About It Here.....

Thinking about getting some more 22LR for my little Marlin semi-auto. I already have a good stock of 22LR, but they're all Wolf and Fio...
71° and sunny here, with nary a cloud in sight. After the last two solstices which were overcast and rainy, a day of sunlight is SO welcome. Stay safe down there!
ReplyDeleteLongest day of the year, too!
Delete1st day of Summer, and at 1630 I'm driving with my headlights on in rain. Colorado!
ReplyDeleteWe had "June Gloom" in SoCal, but it never rained....
DeleteIt's 9 PM and 89 here. The morning weather gave the UV index as "fatal within 15 minutes". (OK, I made up the second one, not the first)
ReplyDeleteI think I might do class 1D again. Just hand out points for stations that are out in the field trying. Either that or hang out on 50.313 FT8 looking for openings.
We get that same UV index here when it clear and sunny. Being up at 5100' thins out the air so much that "Thompson's Water Seal" barely makes it one year due to UV degradation.
DeleteI read the whole QST issue on Field Day, then went back and flipped thru it again, and I'll be stuffed if I can find a SINGLE place where they mention the dates...
ReplyDeleteSo no Field Day for me.
It's always the last, full weekend in June.
DeleteInteresting weather this year...
ReplyDeleteBeing stuck in Lost Angeleez for 35 years made me forget what REAL weather was like.
DeleteNow I'm observing the continental weather patterns vs the coastal weather patterns. I always check the NWS radar for your area, and LL's area, just to see what you guys are having.
