Now the specifics:

Did HAM testing Sunday in J-town. Had a big meal at the church for lunch but had to leave early to get to testing. Had two guys come for testing and both passed. One got his Tech and the other upgraded to General.

Thursday was a busy day. Kathy was off to the VA so I spent the day doing domestic chores, getting my hair cut and going grocery shopping.

Saturday was a good day. Nick came over and we started planning out his project to get his boom microphone working on all his radios. Spent about 4 hours on that and working on his laptop.

I felt like shit Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I was ready to make a call to the cardiologist Monday but everything seemed to pass by Saturday. I have no idea what this is but I really don’t like it. Of course there’s no point in going to the doctor now as they won’t find anything.

Had Zoom classes this week. One on Monday, Two on Tuesday and another on Thursday. Doing a lot of practicing.

Well that is it for this week. Not a lot happening. I had planned on doing some POTA on Wednesday but that got rained out. We will shot again for this Friday.

As always, hope this finds everyone safe and healthy. Stay that way and I’ll blog at you again next week.
