I normally don’t do any Christmas shopping this far in advance. But the (talk of) supply chain issues as well as seemingly random empty shelves at stores around us pushed me into it. One problem: none of us really knows what we want yet. 🎄
Moderna booster shot update: 48 hours later I’m feeling back to normal. I had lingering digestive issues this morning which finally cleared up. 100% would do it again.💉
24+ hours after my Moderna booster 💉: Got body aches and digestive woes in the night. Both are a bit better this evening but I still don’t feel like doing anything. Hoping to get back to doing what I do tomorrow morning.
I’ve been boosted! 💉💉💉
Let’s see how I feel at tomorrow this time. 2nd Moderna shot was a doozy on the second day.
I often see people laud their various writing instruments. A good eraser just doesn’t get the love it deserves. ✏️
American Airlines canceled over a thousand flights the past few days so we were worried. But my wife made it home today just in time for halloween. 🎃
The appliance I use most often in our home

If my wife’s hamster was red she’d be a lot easier to see. Like most, she spends most of her time hiding.
☀️ The sun in in solar cycle 25 and has been much more active. Yesterday’s spikes in x-ray and proton flux caused some radio blackouts. This weekend the geomagnetic flux will spike to G3 so there are alerts for power grids and navigation. Nothing to fear. Facts are here.
Underneath it all is a lovely blossom waiting to appear
The sunset last night seen while driving home for dinner was 👍🏼👍🏼
After last night’s rain storm there is no pattern in these fallen leaves, just chaos.
Speaking of chaos, iOS 15 identified these as plant material ✅but thinks they’re magnolia leaves❌.
I achieve a sort of bliss blasting 🎶 in my Pleiades (aka Subaru)
Almost gravity-defying
The HF radio is good for long range communications but I use these VHF/UHF radios for more local connections.
On the meaning of “tacos”.

Our little dog is all into rest this morning after having a number of teeth extracted yesterday. That procedure didn’t seem to hamper her appetite though.
My thanks to all of the condolences. It’s been a crazy day and I haven’t kept up with them all to thank you individually.
Another item for an eventful day: dental surgery for our 10 year old dog. Seems to have gone well!
I’m grateful for this quiet space on a day like today.
And thanks for the condolences.
Gut wrenching day for us. My wife got a call yesterday afternoon her aunt was in the final days of her stage 4 cancer. She passed this morning before my wife could get there to see her. Literally gut wrenching.😭
Because of the illness of a relative I had to make a flight reservation for my wife for tomorrow. I was worried about availability but apparently Covid still means flights with seats open and low fares even for next day. ✈️
Some treat radio contesting as a sport, namely radiosport. I’m too lazy.
Also we voted today. A number of state amendments as well as city plus some school bonds. We always feel a bit lazy about going but then feel great once we’ve done it. Too many won’t bother.🤷🏽♂️
