Good Evening,

     It was a very pleasant day; sunny and mild.  The spiders are much 
smaller than they will be later in the season.  I had already raided the 
backyard and there were no more ripe black berries left.  I was on a 
quest for more.  So I walked in areas of my land I had not traveled in a 
few years.  There was one spot where the elk had been bedding.  It 
smelled like a barn which was got my attention.  It was well shaded so 
the alder branches had died and broken off far above ground level.  
While I am much taller than our native deer the elk need taller trails 
which are a comfortable fit for me.  I only found a few spots with black 
berries but did find a lot of huckleberries.  Now the waiting for the 
thimble berries.  Maybe two weeks.

    Twenty-four days without a spot on the sun.  The solar flux index 
seems stuck on the same spot it's been at for months.  This leads me to 
believe the conditions will be quite similar to what they have been for 
the last few weeks.  Low noise but weak signals with deep QSB.  Good 
thing I live in a very low noise area; it helps a great deal in who I 
can hear.  A stream of solar wind is on the way for the 24th, by 
Wednesday conditions may be better.
