Busy weekend

[Today’s run: 4.5 miles with wife and dog.  6 yesterday with Boardtown club]

We have had a busy 4 day weekend.

Thursday was the Thanksgiving holiday.  We went to Starkville and had a delicious dinner with turkey and stuffing and all of the trimmings.

I had the day off on Friday also, so we painted the guest bedroom.  We had to finish it up on Saturday after running club in the morning.

Saturday evening was the start of the CQ WorldWide DX CW contest.  I operated for a couple of hours in the evening then some more during the day on Sunday.  I accumulated 200 contacts, including quite a few countries that I had never contacted before:  Greenland, Mongolia, Gambia.  The band conditions were very good and stations were coming in from all over.

Tonight I am working on transferring some files to an MP3 player.  Tomorrow it is back to work.

Here are more of the mini-postcards from RMNP long ago

Two of the pictures have captions referencing “High Drive”. There is a High Drive in Estes Park but the road from which the pictures were taken is now known as Trail Ridge Road.
