I have a swollen spot on my back where I removed a tick, I called my insurance's nurse hotline and they told me to get treatment within the hour, so I went to the ER in Harrisburg. Doc didn't seem overly concerned, but he said I had a good infection going there, put me on antibiotics for two weeks and gave me some ointment to put on it. They also took 5 vials of blood. I guess I'll call Thursday to see what became of the blood work. It is a bit uncomfortable, but won't stop me from enjoying anything.
QRV! I got the radio and antenna set up in about 10 minutes flat. I still need another connector to get the Brown Brothers CTL paddle/key combo wired up, I'm anxious to try it out. I listened to several different frequency bands and tuned up, but no QSO yet, haven't tried.
I watched a lot of the Super Regionals for NCAA softball, went to another meeting, and kinda took things slow. We did get in the car yesterday and reconnoitered the area around one horse gap. This is a hard place to navigate, the maps don't always give a clear picture of what is on the ground, and the signs are misleading or not helpful at all. My maps give Forest Service road numbers, and the roads signs give names, when there is a sign. But we got to the area I was looking for no problem, and there is a ton of good hiking there.
It rained hard last night, and it's grey and overcast right now (8:43 AM Central) so I might just take care of errands and chores today, and save hiking for tomorrow. An AA told me of a good laundry, I need that connector for the paddles, refill my prescriptions, and spend 30 minutes to clean in here.
BTW, I turned 52 this weekend. Am I young or old?
