Eeew, Monday

[altivo]

Typical blah Monday. Staffing is going to be short (as usual) this week at work. Getting so this is a regular thing.

Thanks to several folks on radiofurs I've got some basic ham software going under Linux now so hopefully I can get away from having to run Windows on VMware in order to have control of the transceiver and soundcard. Band conditions are not great, at least, not on 40 meters. I did put a few calls out, and I think there were a couple of responses but they were so far down under the general noise that I couldn't read them for sure. Oh for a few sunspots. Hopefully we've about hit bottom on that and will start seeing some improvement by the end of the summer. At the moment I should flip the switch on the radio and do some other stuff that is more urgent.

Got up into the 40s today, which is almost seasonal, but I guess it's going back down with rain and snow by tomorrow night. Sigh.

Don't worry about being shorthanded, you'll do fine.

Heh, with 90% chance of snow tonight and tomorrow, and six inches of accumulation expected, maybe we should just close.
