Parked in the truck in Terre Haute, Indiana listening to hams discussing the severe weather in the area on the W0THI (444.6 MHz) & NC9U (145.350MHz) repeaters.

Kind of lush looking here behind the store where I’m delivering tonight. Reminds me of Louisiana or Florida.

The TCU on my trailer wasn’t working tonight - so that trailer had to be reloaded - which means I’m home playing radio this evening while my wife is working, and I’m waiting out back to see if we have fireflies here yet. And yes… just flavored tobacco. Listening to the Illinois Digital Net on Brandmeister TG 31171.

Memories: April 23rd, 2017 - QRP CW from the back of a trailer in Houston, TX. My one contact that day was with a station in Eldersburg, MD.

are required to carry chains on I-70 through the Rockies from September 1 through May 31 each year. I’ve chained up along that stretch of road many, many times. A couple of friends of mine were at Red Rocks last night (Friday night April 21st) and it was snowing during the concert. ~ youtu.be/Bp_aRk3trTU

Another nice sunset last night. This time in Vincennes, Indiana. I also saw the first brood of tiny goslings in Olney tonight. There will be many more in a week or so.

Camping out in Springfield, Illinois until the wind dies down. Gusts of 40mph are no joke when you’re hauling an empty trailer.

Audio books: I’m listening to “Middlemarch” after my wife recommended it to me; it’s her all-time favorite book. Not my normal genre by any means, but wow(!) what amazing, insightful writing. Written between 1869-1871 by Mary Anne Evans, who wrote as George Eliot. Fantastic, thick writing. Some truly masterful, subtle and sublime observations of the human condition and the world we live in. More to say about that later most likely.

Memories: “Moon setting over the Rockies. Sunday, March 4th, 2018. Boyd Lake near Loveland, Colorado. Accidentally caught some geese in there as well. Even better!”
