 BM> Below is a message from Daryl Stout: November 17, 2019  5:30 p.m.:

Thanks for passing it along...  :)

Below is for Daryl, if you are able to forward it...

 BM> Good News and Bad News.
 BM> The Good News is regarding Ham Radio and Square Dancing.
 BM> With a lot of "rigging", I've got my ham radio stuff moved to the
 BM> Lenovo laptop with Windows 10 64-bit. This includes CQ100 (with
 BM> QSO-TV), D-Star (via the ThumbDV and the BlueDV program), D-Rats,
 BM> Packet Via Telnet (via the Outpost Packet Program), and Echolink. So, I
 BM> can still run ham radio nets on a limited basis, and get some therapy
 BM> (limited as it is). 

Good news that you can at least do some of your therapy... :)

 BM> The problem is that there are still apparently rodents in the house,
 BM> and some rooms still need to be cleaned up. Both spring traps and glue
 BM> traps have been laid out, but at least the guarantee on the work is
 BM> good until 2025...so if I see more rodents, they'll come back and set
 BM> more traps. 

The guarantee is indeed a blessing...

 BM> However, I still have to get my late Mom's clothes disposed of as
 BM> well. With all the stress of being her caregiver for over 3 years, then
 BM> dealing with stuff after her death, and as a result, having neglected
 BM> my health, I'm having to pay the piper...and am in the early stages of
 BM> a breakdown.
   ......
 BM> But, I wanted to let everyone know what's going on, and why I've
 BM> basically disappeared. I will try to check email at least once a day.
 BM> As for Facebook, I unfriended everyone, but if you previously chatted
 BM> with me on Messenger, you can reach me that way. I am part of a few ham
 BM> radio, weather, trains, BBS, and square dance groups, but I don't spend
 BM> as much time on Facebook as I used to.

Hang in there... you are still in our thoughts and prayers....
