Bought a CY-979A cabinet that I didn't need for too much $, but my R-391 doesn't feel naked anymore.  Someone once said "he who dies with the most toys wins" Happy Fathers Day!

My son and his wife invited us down to his house in Nashville yesterday for a Father's day party.  His wife's parents were there too, and so were some of his friends.  We had a nice meal and an enjoyable get-together.  He gave me my birthday present (an expensive bottle of cognac) and a Father's day gift (a couple of bottles of his home-made wine and a bag of gourmet coffee).  When we got home I reached for the gifts to bring them inside, and realised I had forgot and left the damned things on his living room floor.  Angry

Ah, the usual stuff, eh Frank? Kinda like a necktie for Christmas!

I got open season on the kitchen and made the dinner I wanted.
I then got a new 5 gallon gas can since the old one has more cracks in it than Nancy Pelosi's face.

Then later came the usual stuff!! Wink

Action? Like in the movies?



Snap snap, grin grin, wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more?
They could be, they could be taken on holiday.
Candid, you know, CANDID photography?

Gave myself a Johnson KW Matchbox.  Always wanted one, why I don't know, the homebrew job works just fine.

They are oaks, my best guess is over 60 feet, they're enormous. The house is quite large and the trees drawf it..

Gonna string an invisible dipole or inverted L from a few of them. The plus is that I can finally get up an ant that faces east-west instead of north-south...
