Good Evening,
Conditions were so-so to OK. Rapid QSB was on everyone, it chopped
up weaker stations, the stronger ones were better. More than one
operator mentioned I was the only station on the band. I did not hear
anything except check ins on either band. I don't think it was due to
lack of focus. However, an hour with a chainsaw followed by working
with cold hands did affect my sending. It took a word or too for my
fingers to lubricate.
During the second check in on the second net I watched a large tree
bend over and then fall over. It rotated around its root ball like it
was a ball socket. It fell in one of my antenna paths. If the antenna
had not already been broken it would have fallen today. I was also
taking each second as it came because the power kept blinking. If there
is any wind tonight there will be a power outage. For some reason this
layer of snow is not sloughing off of the trees. Power lines don't like
it either.

dive for dreams
or a slogan may topple you
(trees are their roots
and wind is wind)
trust your heart
if the seas catch fire
(and live by love
though the stars walk backward)
never mind a world
with its villains or heroes
(for god likes girls
and tomorrow and the earth)
