    Tony,ããV>Oh I do those too, but evening for me is time in together. :)ãã I do the QCWA CQ100 Net at 11am Eastern Time on Friday...but any otherãdaytime nets are checkin by choice.ãã Shoulder pain (arthritis) and a nature call woke me. So, I took anãIbuprofen, and am doing the QWK Mail real quick, while I wait for it toãkick in. We've got dense fog out there this morning from all the rain,ãso there's no point in going out until midday.ããV>Hmm, OK. Still, the US seems to be taking it more casually for the number ofãV>cases compared to here. But for us, there's optimism that our stance may payãV>off, and that restrictions may be eased by mid-late May, and that near normalãV>domestic activity could occur relatively soon. International travel will takãV>a LOT longer to return, and any international travel for the next 12-18 monthãV>would likely require forced quarantine on return to Australia, possibly for uãV>to 18 months.ãã Arkansas is doing seemingly better than other areas, though.ããV> DS> It stands for Digital Radio Enthusiasts...and the first word is inãV> DS> both acronyms. :PããV>Hahaha :Dãã Talk about giving one the finger. :PããV> DS> Well, severe weather and lightning keep me off the air.ããV>This is the time of year with the most stable weather here. :)ãã More storms are forecast Wednesday into Thursday. Louisiana,ãMississippi, and Alabama, among other areas, were hammered again byãtornadoes, etc. overnight. One supercell near Pickwick, Mississippi, hadãdoppler velocity winds of at least 150 mph...and apparently, there was aãdebris ball on radar.ããDarylãã---ã þ OLX 1.53 þ I have disposable income.

Hey Dad, are we gonna stop for ice cream? Can we, huh?ãã I should've had ice cream cake and Dill Pickle potato chips.ãBut, you'd wonder about me eating pickles and ice cream. <G>ããDarylãã...
