We have had a new resident. Actually there several new residents. A deer decided to have her kids in the back yard. They are here often. I can see them from my Zoom Room, so I apologize if I seem a little distracted sometimes when I am on a video call. We went canoeing and camping in South Carolina. We were exploring without a lot of planning, so you get what you expect- adventure and discovery. We stopped by the Tallulah Gorge lookout. When I rode my motorcycle through the area in the early 80's, I vowed I would come back. And I have come back-- again. I ate my traditional moon pie there as well. The Tesla is a great camper. Charge the battery, run the AC and enjoy the filtered ventilated with a nice entertainment system. Crazy. The paddleing wasnt that good. We found ourselves in Lake Keowee. The camp ground was good if you speak Spanish, and only enjoy power sports on small boats. I am a bit disturbed by the new trend of wake boarding. Instead of skiing being towed by a ro...

There are two titles for unwritten essays on my mind tonight. 1.) First fire. 2.) Death on the farm. Help yourself.

Llama - Llama glama Professor had his surgery today. We removed a hunk of grizzely tissue about the size of a large eyeball from the side of his left foot. He behaved great!. We now have him locked in the llama house with his buddy Aries. The vet used a local in his foot. They had pictures with them to help figure out the foot anatomy of the llama.

QRZ.COM The N2TYQ report: The hamfest was a lot of fun yesterday. Duane (KB0VIW) picked up a nice Kenwood 2 meter radio for 25 bucks. It was good to meet up with Jim Hastings (W2RFM) and Kevin Carey (WB2QMY). Everyone agreed it was a great hamfest, good attendance and interest. I sold a few things and paid for the expenses.

Chenango Lake Panorama Last Thursday Bonnie and I went out for a nice boat ride on Geneganselet lake with Saul and Carol Thau. It was really nice. It is a nice lake and it was a relaxing experience during the week. During the day on Thursday I had a hard time. My truck was leaking diesel really bad and llama "Professor" has a tumor on his foot. I spent the morning bathing in diesel fuel to fix the leak, while I was waiting for the vet to come. The vet says we have to excise the tumor and get a biopsy. The professor is having difficulty standing on that foot. We are of course worried. Probably early this week we will schedule the professor's surgery.
