Thanks all for the wishes with my recent trial by fire.
it was cutting it bit thinner than I'd prefer, but "It appears" positive
so far.
Again, I appreciate all the encouragement and hope to see you on "the
band" soon.
I'm going to try to have an antenna party soon to get the 7L C3i at 60'
and the C19XR at 40' on the little 25G Not what I'd hoped for but am
willing to settle for.
My neighbor came over and offered to move the equipment around and set
up the new hutch as well as bring the old hutch in here where it was
originally with the 756pro which would be in it again.
There isn't a lot I can do for at least a few weeks nor without
restrictions for 6 or more, but I can supervise and I can rewire as well
as install connectors. BTW he's the same neighbor who with his wife
came over and dug the hole for the tower base...without me asking.
I did teach my wife how to run the zero turning radius lawnmower this
afternoon...out in the open yard. She only made one excursion out into
the bushes...Barberry? and I do see a fringe of grass a bit taller
around the edge. For some one who had never driven one of the things
that is remarkable as it usually takes some one about three mowings of a
yard our size (an acre) before they become proficient driving one. THEN
you get to master making those turns they show on TV without auguring
the inside wheel down into the yard<:-)) It leaves a really nasty divot
they don't show on TV. The inside wheel has to back up while the
outside is going forward about the same distance (at the same time and
speed).
That was pretty much the extent of my foray outside today as it's only
my second day out of the hospital. The Doc says I can start taking
walks tomorrow as long as I feel comfortable with them, but there's not
much I can do beyond that until I see him in two weeks for an evaluation.
One other thing..I think my body was relieved today as I sure caught up
on my sleep as I think I slept 10 hours and woke refreshed.
