I'll be down at the huntin' cabin. Gotta cut the grass and make a path to the doors, ripout the carpet and kitchen floor vinyl and replace with new stuff. Then we got 3 treestands to hang and clear the shooting lanes of newly grown arrow catching branches.
Then the next day the roof needs a coating makeover, the hanging pole needs a new step and then we gotta put 20' of drain tile across the lowspot in the access road and fill it with gravel.

Bow season is only 22 days away!

Fishing the fall migration. Until that's done everything is on the back burner. When that's done cut and split firewood. Clean up the yard. No projects until late fall early winter when the cold and damp settles in.  But need to redo a feedline and would like to string a 160m dipole up.  Modify the modulator on the 813 rig.  Get the PW rig going.  Unload some junk and clean up the shack.  Get on the ether.

Jeez, Buddly..What a nut-buster of work.
Doesn't the Safeway meat department sound a lot easier? LOL

Good luck!

Small game season just opened here on 1 Sept...A cottontail makes terrific spaghetti sauce (recipe on request). Never underestimate a .22 long with a scope. I also have a terrific recipe for poached pheasant with gravy. It would be a $100 meal at a fancy restaurant.

I was leaning toward a complete revamp for the ground screen for my 160M vert. using vinyl covered welded fencing as a screen. But I am going to experiment with 6 elevated radials instead and see what happens this Winter.

Well, unfortunately the Summer is winding down as Labor Day approaches.... and thoughts of snow (sorry, I didn't mean to use that dirty 4 letter word), cold and inside projects arise (you may be able to tell, I'm not a fan of winter).

What are your winter project plans?

To keep sane this winter, I plan on finally building that 100-some-odd pill transmitter that I've been talking about for about 5 years.  Particularly needed on 160 meters at night.

And of course ship the software mod monitor...

How about you??


I want that Software Mod Monitor, mate!!! It caught my eye the first time you presented it on the forum.
