I was just complaining yesterday to some friends about how breweries seem to all be trying to out-hop each other and I appreciate some of the maltier cold-weather beers… but then here I go cracking this open 😁🍻

@elonjet can’t be late for the Illuminati Christmas party uncovercolorado.com/conspiracy

@mattdsteele , @rustywx from Lincoln has been sharing weather updates.

Hadn’t really considered sending QSL cards until some started showing up in the mail and I felt like it’d be rude to not return one — so here’s my first couple ready to go out.

@jarred right?

I think the only questions we ever ask our Google Assistant are those along the lines of “Are [insert food item] okay for dogs?”.

@cpultz it was great! Did my drive and walk then the sidewalk all along this side of the street and still had half a battery left. If we had more than a couple inches I might have had to switch to the second battery. It didn’t have much to throw today.

@cpultz I don’t have a two-stage but I spent some money on an battery-powered toro last winter and barely got to use it… I was too excited to go out at 6 this morning to clear things off for the doc before she took off for the day.

@cpultz Agreed. All night, my wallet and I are worried about what’s going on out there…

@dj3ei People were posting photos of natural waterfalls for waterfallwednesday… I was just posting a radio waterfall. Couldn’t help it :-) 73

… Did I do that right? 😁📻

Trying the Mr. Milko at Cosmic Eye Brewing!

@chrisdunker Captial Jazz Society holds their weekly concerts there. With holiday, looks like next is Jan 9. artsincorporated.org/cjs/

Contacted a nice collection of European countries this morning, but FT8 is still kinda like being a kid at a fishing game where the adult inside the box is putting a prize at the end of your line for you 😁

@chrisdunker storm cellar is pretty great on Mondays with jazz music

@cpultz Congrats on the KState win! We were at Big 10 champ game where Nebraska got blown out by Wisconsin. I was glad we were all in red as I think it saved us some harassment leaving Stadium 😂 I’m sure some TCU fans were thinking the same today.

Those couple of seconds between thinking you solved all of the RF noise issues in your home and realizing your antenna isn’t plugged in… wonderful. 😂

In the absence of blue check marks, I’d love to see mastodon instances hosted by trusted domains … to validate them the same way we validate anything on the internet. mstdn.npr.org, mastodon.NYTimes.com… This could be a tremendous convenience for institutions that manage hundreds of accounts.

Anybody else ever wish your HT had some sort of Tx Lock? When just monitoring? When messing around with settings? I’d love a switch, similar to iPhone silent switch, to disable Tx. D878UVii can prohibit Tx per channel, so for some local repeaters I have one channel that can Tx and one that is Rx-only. I may or may not have accidentally blasted a repeater with APRS from a FT5DR this morning.

Nice night to ride but a rough evening of pitching for my son. He was so good last time he pitched, allowing no one to score over the 3 innings he was in. Tonight he’s pitched one and got lit up for 5 runs (the limit). It’s so hard to watch him stand out there and struggle 😧 I have to go for a walk!

I’m looking forward to leaving these mosquitoes behind and riding back home!
