We went to Chelan over the weekend! This was the view from our balcony. 😍

This is a PSA to suggest to anybody using a CPAP that you should try turning up the humidity level a couple of notches. Just had the greatest, most refreshing sleep in a long time.

Having lunch with my good friend Brian Hodder! 👊🍔

Had to go into the dungeon under the house to reset the circuit breaker today. Not a fun chore. Intensely disliked. Yeah, so I used to work at a place where we made dungeon crawlers? That doesn’t mean I actually like dungeons in which things are for real crawling around.

Blue Angels supercut from today’s performance! 🎬 youtu.be/HN7sAXLmX…

What convinced me to change my political alignment from liberal to democratic socialist was the recognition that FDR was not simply an altruistic class traitor in a vacuum, but that he existed in the space just after the Russian revolution. The New Deal was a compromise to prevent a revolution.

And here’s a possibly controversial hot 🍕 take: Pizza without pepperoni isn’t pizza at all! #ATP

I have many thoughts about the latest ATP member special. 🍕 atp.fm/atp-tier-…
My 2 cents: Pagliacci’s Diavola is IMO one of the best pizzas in Seattle. The soppressata + hot honey combo is wonderful. Fight me, Marco (jk). 😆 pagliacci.com/order/pro…

Heads up: I just learned all sales are now final at Bartell Drugs. While I was ultimately able to convince a level-headed store manager that it was unreasonable to apply that policy to a defective product, buyer beware! seattlemag.com/seattle-c…
RIP Bartell Drugs.

It’s a HOT one out there today in Seattle! Temperature reading at my house is 96.4 right now. 🔥

I’ll share some more photos soon, but… it’s been a thoroughly fun and eventful week!
-
Here’s an idea: We are all human beings and we should all be able to peacefully share this planet together without fucking each other up. Why don’t we give that a try?

Visited PSRG’s Rain or Shine noon net meetup at the Museum of Flight today. Was fun to finally meet in person with a bunch of the fine folks that I’ve listened to for years on the radio! What a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Did my check-in today standing right next to net control. 😆
-
It may be possible to see more auroras tonight as the night goes on, but it’s already way too late for me. Time for bed! 📸
-
KP index is 6.67 right now. Probably a good chance of seeing an aurora tonight!

The CW trainer I ordered arrived today. I’ve been waiting to be able to use my key for a week! Video: youtu.be/X8vwP45Bq…

Don’t buy a Baofeng UV-5R. Get a Quansheng UV-K6 and put EGZUMER on it. You’ll be so much happier. What a fun radio to take on the go! I checked into PSRG’s noon net from the waterfront today with this stealth Nagoya NA-810 antenna. I’m told I was heard loud and clear.
-
Been sick for most of the week. If I’m feeling better by the end of tomorrow, maybe I’ll get a normal-sized weekend? 🤞
-
Got the HF antenna working tonight! How cool is that?
-
This ham radio thing is fun! My VHF antenna is literally propped against my office door right now, but it works! Three PSRG repeater nodes picked me up full strength, and one more in Lake Forest Park partially did. Crazy! Had a few QSOs, but haven’t done a simplex QSO yet. That’s a rite of passage.
-
I’m pulling in 3/4 of a gigabit today over WiFi on my iPhone. I’m just trying to picture how I’d have explained this to myself in 1999 where all I had was a 33.6 dialup modem. 🤯
-
Just did a quick signal check. With my 5-watt Baofeng UV-R5, I do get picked up by the PSRG repeaters. So that’s something! I was worried I wasn’t going to see anything at all from here in Leschi.

As of this morning, I’m officially a ham radio operator! KM7AOT monitoring.
