Summer in Duluth GA

Angie and I took the sports car to one of the many parks in Gwinnett county to walk. We saw signs for "free food / Comida". Being that I am always up for a snack, I decided to see if I could get some. Sure enough, they are handing out Breakfast and Lunch kits. We got a "lunch" and ate it in the park. I was pleased that there was no political literature in the bag only the normal commercial stuff for the products and the company that assesmbled the kits. It was a weird expereince. I have no idea of who these meals were intended for. I entered the Humvee in the Duluth car show. That was fun. It actually won second place in the "pickup" category. Car shows are like that.. somewhat self-congratulating. We signed up for drone home delivery. Although it is very unlikely we will ever use it. This squirrel was particularly tenacious on the feeder. I am sure the birds saw it as a spectacle. The bobcat came in quite handy this week, both for some str...

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.
