Well, not quite...I'll take any temperature as long as it's between 69 
and 79 in the day time and 55 to 60 at night...I'm talking Fahrenheit 
here now and just enough rain to keep the grass and crops in good shape, 
but not so much that I have to mow the yard 3 times a week.

Now as to solar weather, I view that with mixed emotions, as 160, 75 and 
40 have been so good the past few years I've not missed 20, 15, and 10. 
OTOH every time I look at my 6-meter log from the early 2000's I get a 
bit nostalgic.  Maybe if I get that new amp finished for six I'll be 
able to create sporadic E and aurora to order. At the rate I'm going 
I'll have to depend on Karma and get it done in the next lifetime. OTOH 
there are so many things I want to do that I need 5 lifetimes just for 
the things this time around.

If that's too vague, I can be more specific, particularly if you are 
having trouble falling asleep<:-))
