How about some sushi for lunch?
Very fresh, never frozen. Not even refrigerated. Very crunchy too.

A nice day hanging out with some non-ham friends and doing a bit of hiking at Pedernales Falls State Park (K-3048). Mostly visiting but made enough contacts for an activation.

45 minutes until field day. Normally would do a screened shelter; however, I am really digging this mini cabin at Buescher State Park.

This bunny has stories to tell... for example, how did it lose a portion of its right ear?

Last year, with the drought, this was all but dried mud. Seeing water this year is so reassuring!

Of course, immediately after taking this picture I turned around and saw the hole all his friends were living in. (McKinney Falls State Park)

Added a few more parks this weekend. Played in the RTTY NAQP portable for a bit and did some scoping out for what will be some of the parks I plan to operate from towards the N1CC Activators award. Only regret was not setting aside time for hiking.

There's a long lineage to these furry giants, the Texas State Bison Herd: they (may) trace back to cattleman Charlie Goodnight's gift of a few calves (orphaned by hunters) to his wife Molly between 1878-1889.

Besides being adorable tank puppies, every armadillo is born as an identical quadruplet.

It's a quirk of their reproductive system called polyembryony, an adaptation to an incredibly small implantation site in the 'dillo uterus.
