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.
