It's always braggin' time. Michele came home from school today. Braggin'. Seems I taught her well. Apparently she did three good things at school. She sat nicely when the teacher asked her. She cleaned up her area very quickly when asked. She couldn't remember the third one. Maybe she will remember in the morning. She does enjoy her school and is learning very fast.
Cathy was Cathy. She followed me around whilst I was moving antennas from here to there and back again. Yes, it's that time. I finally got around to moving my antenna from the back of the garage to just out side the back door. So, the short version goes like this. Look at it for a very long time. Remove one leg of 40m dipole from the mast to a temporary mast. Risk life and limb lifting vertical antenna from mast. It's not heavy, but very awkward due to its long length. Fine in its verticle position so long as there is no breeze. I dropped it on the roof with a bit of a crash. I survived and so did the antenna. Then move mast. That was the easy bit. Then re-attach antenna. Then discover, to my horror, that I hadn't secured the mast. Very quickly secure said mast.
Why all this? Coz I can. And because I really want to do some work on the dipole. I actually want to add to it. At the moment it only covers 40 metres. I want to add a 20 metre leg and maybe later on 80 metre leg. I don't have room enough for a bean.
Mum was out to choir practice tonight. She has this descant thingy to do this Sunday. I dictated it to her last week and this week was the trail thing. It worked and she is a happy lady. One could say a very happy chappy. But you can't coz she isn't a chappy. She is a lady.
Finally back to Michele. Seems I am not permitted to brag. So she informed me a prayer time tonight. I told her I was going to brag about her not myself. Nope, according to my 5 almost 6 year old daughter, one is not permitted to brag at all full stop end of story.
