[Today’s run: 5.5 miles]<\/p>\n

Today was a busy day.\u00a0 I got up early, about 3:30, read for awhile, then put on my running clothes and went to Starkville.<\/p>\n

I ran with the fellows.\u00a0 But I turned back after 30 minutes and went back to the truck.\u00a0 I cooled down for a bit.<\/p>\n

I went to a gas station and bought some water and changed from my running clothes into street clothes.<\/p>\n

Today was the day for the every-5-year “day in the park” over at MFJ in Starkville.\u00a0 MFJ is a nationally known company that makes a long list of ham radio equipment and station accessories.\u00a0 Our Columbus ham club had the duty of running a ham license testing session.\u00a0 I am set up to help with that, so I next went to the MFJ office and participated in the testing.\u00a0 I was done with my part around 9:30 and I looked around at some of the tailgaters.\u00a0 Then I took a tour of the antenna manufacturing facility (Hy-Gain\/Cushcraft) and the amplifier facility (Ameritron).\u00a0 After that there was a picnic in the park nearby.\u00a0 And they had a drawing for some door prizes.<\/p>\n

On the way home from that, around 2 pm, I discovered that our FM radio station was not putting out the normal amount of power.\u00a0 On arriving home I could see the transmitter had something wrong with it.\u00a0 I banged around on that for awhile but came up with no fix for it, yet.\u00a0 So we are limping along at about 5 watts of output, enough to cover the immediate neighborhood and service our internet streaming but that’s about it.\u00a0 Sad!<\/p>\n

This evening we’ve watched a TV show on Amazon Prime (Endeavor), and I’ve done a bit more digging on my pole-hole.<\/p>\n

This picture is of people eating at the park today.\u00a0 I was waiting in line. this is probably half of the people, maybe 1\/3rd.\u00a0 There were about 500 people there they said.<\/p>\n
