Excites me

It still excites me.Shiny copper #14 stranded wire,new RG8/x coax or 450 ohm ladder line,the smell of melted silver solder.

The makings of hours of fun.Ham radio dipole antenna.

468/2 is the formula for a half wave antenna.

I know.I should stop right?My nerdness and geekness is showing.

Hail it did...

Talk about bad weather LaGrange had it last Sunday.

About 3 pm the sky opened up and drenched us with heavy rain,blustery wind and hail.

I have always heard a tornado sounds like a  freight train and that is what I heard.

The wind just sounded strange and it got my attention.In here in my room the hail was bouncing off the big window like giants had spit guns and where taking target practice.

The Dogwood tree out front had all of it's blooms ripped off by the hail.There was so much hail it looked like snow on the ground.Several windows were cracked by the hail.

I wasn't scared or frightened just concerned that they would load us up and send us to the hall but the tornado siren never came on that I know of.

LaGrange got lucky again it seems.

And I got lucky,didn't have to take that trip to the hallway to wait out the storm.
