Good Evening,

    It is easy to lose a mountain.  Mt. St. Helens is rarely visible 
from here.  If there is any haze in the sky it is almost invisible.  In 
the summer you need to know which bit of white is a mountain top, which 
is a cloud, and which is the top of Mt. Rainier.  Tuesday's weather was 
very nice.  50 degrees with humidity down to 60%, perfect for cutting 
wood.  I moved, cut, split, and stacked until I was soaked.  Then I went 
for a walk to cool down.  I hiked to Bacona Road, about a mile from 
here.  When I turned around Mt. St. Helens dominated the landscape to 
the northeast.  The sky was so clear and the snow line so low it seemed 
huge.  The sun was an hour from setting which cast raking shadows with 
golden highlights.  What a view.

    More sunspots appeared this week, some groups are growing very 
large.  2936 could send something our way.  Flux is above 100. 
Propagation should be better than last week.  There won't be an active 
storm to create so much noise.  But, as always, you never know until you 
try.


Please join us on (or near):

    73,

Silver is not a good adjective to describe what I felt when he told me 
about trout fishing.  I'd like to get it right.  Maybe trout steel.  
Steel made from trout. The clear snow-filled river acting as foundry and 
heat.  Imagine Pittsburgh.  A steel that comes from trout, used to make 
buildings, trains and tunnels. The Andrew Carnegie of Trout!
