Weekend wrapup

Been a couple of weeks since I posted.

Not much going on.

I have adopted my coworker and her family.

She is like a sister and I am the crazy older uncle.

Been spoiling them.

I love it.

Two weeks ago I won a couple of things in an online estate auction.

when I got there, they were trying to sell all the stuff that did not sell at auction.

I was able to purchase a large box full of cords and parts as well as a Hygain antenna rotator.

2 brand new extension cords in the box paid for the whole lot.

Last week I got the call that the bike parts I ordered back in June were finally in.

Saturday, I went to Hamfest.

I was able to purchase the controller for the antenna rotator I got at the auction.

So for basically $40, ( the cost of the controller) I got a fully functional antenna rotator worth a couple of hundred dollars.  Nice score.

Hygain 'Tailtwister' antenna rotator.  Older but works perfectly.  Temp setup for testing.  I also have the lower pole mount.

Here is an ad for a new one.

After Hamfest, I went over to Seattle and picked up the parts for the bike.

Yesterday, I finished the hats and scarfs I was crocheting for my coworkers family.

Was gonna wait till Christmas but because the weather is getting cold and they needed them I took them over last night.

I had also purchased each person their favorite kind of candy as a treat.

The smiles and laughter were off the scale.

It felt wonderful.

Today, I reassembled the bike.

Took it out for a short test drive and it seems to be working great.

I doubt I will be doing much riding till next year but at least it is running again.

Now to take it easy for the remainder of my long weekend.

Be safe.
