Oh, so nice! Its warm and dry. I’m back to working on the masts and David is installing radio(s). Christmas for David was getting a ham UHF?VHF radio as well as a HF/SSB radio (for email).

Nothing much “pretty” to show pictures of. I’m filling tiny imperfections in the masts–and its hard to be excited about the beauty of filling little 1/16″ cracks and dings on the equivalent of a 70 ft telephone pole…but that’s it right now. At least David’s project can be useful in that we’ll be able to tune in NPR and listen to good music as we work!

Other happenings…my favorite computer keyboard finally died today and I had to get another. I’ve moved into the “modern” world with a mini wireless keyboard and wireless mouse that are great. I can work up to 10 meters (39 ft) away from the computer according to the packaging. Should mean that I can have the computer down below in the radio desk but the monitor up in the chart house and work with the keyboard up there. That all sounds too wonderful.

More later,
Brenda
