Tuesday, 11:30 am: It’s another wonderful day for outside work. Blog writing will, no doubt, be kept to a minimum, besides the writer within me seems to be on strike. The past few days the weather was too predictable and events unremarkable. Yesterday we had a Freeze Warning from the NWS in Caribou, which didn’t materialize: Luckily, for us, the NWS prefers to error on the side of safety. The barometer on our weather station has been steadily rising over the past few days and the skies clearing.

Ducks behaving badly

On Sunday we went to our amateur radio club’s annual picnic at the Cross Lake picnic area. It was very blustery and a bit brisk. Jackets in August! For a few hours we were a hardy group of picnickers bundled up and enjoying ourselves, talking radio, antennas, computers, and most things electronic. No technology gap here.

That’s it for today. My brain, once again, is running on empty. It's time to get recharged.
