Hold those seeds, ya don't plant them until the Indy 500 is over! It is Michigan
and it is still April. The NWS has issued a "Winter Storm Watch" until late
Sunday afternoon. They are predicting everything from a fraction of an inch to
six inches, depending on which way the storm blows, whether the temperatures
from our Canadian neighbors fall as far as some think they will, it could be
rain, but maybe snow, but some kind of something will fall, probably precipitin.
So bring a shovel, a gassy tube to pass, some gear to sell, some parts to plead
for, some tall tales to tell about rice box rigs being banned from the CES and
let's lit up those things that still go glow in the dark dudes!
It is Saturday April 23rd and time for the Hallicrafters Collectors
International 40 meter Net. The pre-Net will commence at 12:30 PM EDT, (1630
UTC) with Tony The Kellogg's Tiger ripping off a roar that would scare any flake
right out of its snowsuit! Now if that is not enough to just frost your flakes,
you do not get rice crispies from throwing your Japanese rig in the wood burner!
Stay tuned for the Net proper at 1:00 PM EDT, (1700 UTC). Contrary to rumors
circulating like an Influenza bug in a phone booth full of college students
trying to establish a new worlds record for the lowest collective IQ score ever
crammed into a phone booth being ripped from its foundation by a forklift, those
people who pick grapes in California for their vocation are 'not' known as Grape
Nuts! Actually they are called Wine Wranglers. So beat feet and shred some wheat
as you lumber from the refrigerator carrying that plate of food that could feed
a hungry family of ten and do not slip on that banana peel your five year old
daughter flung at the Cat trying to jump into the new HD TV picture to devour
Mickey Mouse or you may find yourself doing what is called in Limbo language,
the Fruit Loop!
The frequency will be 7.280 MHZ lsb +/- for key clicks, mike splatter and the
roar of the county snowplow as it whacks mailboxe posts off cleaner than those
imported Tibetan shrubs when your teenage son got creative and fueled the old
two cycle weed eater up with that gallon of Kentucky moonshine you had hidden in
the garage behind the bags of fresh sheep manure!
I hope to hear you tomorrow!
