Good Evening, Rain has come in off the ocean. I fell asleep last night to the sound of a storm. It was still raining steadily when I awoke. It was very peaceful Not as peaceful as a good thunderstorm but it will do. It lasted until mid-day. There has been some clearing but rain is still in the forecast. Temperatures dropped enough to require a fire but I had planned ahead. Yesterday I brought in enough dry wood for a few days. Sun is expected on Wednesday with temperatures in the mid 70s so it will be very warm again. I have no idea about propagation because I have not been on the air since last Sunday. Each day I was up and out the door early and in bed early. Lots of good exercise with much progress on many projects but there was little time for anything else. Winter is coming so I need to be ready. Once the snow falls I can sit around the fire and be lazy. For now there is just too much to get done before then. The hunters are driving by in a steady stream so it is difficult to remember I live in the country. Where there is normally one truck a week there is now one truck every ten minutes. Surprisingly, I saw a car drive by. They are rare up here because the roads are so rough you could easily lose a transmission if one does not drive carefully. I have read more about the sunspot cycle and predictions are for both good and mediocre response. I guess we will find out when it happens rather than listen to any predictions.
