WX4QZ:

Power went out here before I was to do the
QCWA Digital Net on Sunday, it was out over
2 hours. And, as you saw, I just lost it
briefly before tonight's net.

The connector in the toilet for the flusher
has broken...so I have to manually reach in
(yuck!) and pull the deal to make it flush,
as I can't afford a new toilet right now.

The Volvo is still being serviced...I need
to get some groceries soon. Uber is a help,
but I'd rather have my car.

I'm up to 71% recovered on the treatment,
but still have a bit to go.

We're supposed to get much colder later this
week, with winter weather possible.

D-Rats crashed on me big time over the
weekend, so I had to completely uninstall
and reinstall it. Then, all my archived
messages in Outpost, in various folders
disappeared. 

I don't want to know what's going to happen 
next. I hope everyone else is doing better 
(sigh!).

NS2B:

Apparently a better week than yours.

I'm restarting my D-Rats every morning.

Glad to hear the chiropractor is about done 
with you.

I hate toilet problems...

The big snow went east of us; got a little
here, but not bad at all.

I'm eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine list
in New York, but haven't been able to find
a place that has it. Craziness!!

Repaired a dryer tonight...it needed a new
belt and some idler pullies. All is well now.

My Chiefs got killed. It's OK to hate Brady,
but you have to admit he's some kind of legend.

I was wondering if Rick wasn't paying attention
when everyone else took a step back!! But, it
sounds like it might be interesting, once it's
figured out.

KC5RBH:

It sure is cold, and it's just starting. I have 
22 here. We were out a few hours ago around 
Sapulpa, and it wasn't bad at the moment. If 
the road had the ice, the car had, it really
would've been something. I hope we don't have to
get out again soon. I just don't want it to get
down to zero.

KF0AIT:

I forgot about how mild a winter we've had until
the last week or so. A high of 2 today, with wind
chills down to -12.

I was rooting for the Chiefs as well. Wasn't much
of a game.

Spent some time trying to get LINBPQ working with
RMS Relay, but no luck.

VA7RBP:

Our temperature stayed around 27F all day. The snow
we got over the past week has mostly disappeared.
Temperatures are expected to drop some more.

It has been a busy couple of weeks. One of our local
hams decided to retire as Volunteer Radio Station
Manager at our Regional Emergency Operations Center.
I volunteered to take over, and they called me last
weekend. I guess I got the job...no pay, lots of
headaches, dealing with government types...what have
I done??!!

Anyway, they have a brand new radio room, with 2 HF
rigs, and a VHF/UHF rig. I've been there every day
last week, and today, trying to figure it all out.
It's going to take awhile.

I haven't been doing much else.
