<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The weather seems to be continuing in the assault
mode with winds and such. Hopefully there won't be much more to be done
for repairs than what has already happened so we may all move ahead to new and
interesting stuff. Looking forward to socializing next
weekend.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Alright there kids, we've all been through
another Winter with all her rigors and such. After all the ice and wind
I come home the other day after a (pfftt) 10 mph wind to find a pile
of black pasta lying in the back yard. Upon inspection the 300 ohm ladder line
to my g5rg was broken, a (get this) foot down from the horizontal
portion. One leg severed, two window strips torn and the other leg
severed...go figure. No sign of bird pecking or squirrel gnawing or
such.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Good thing the 'fest is right around the
corner. Gonna bring the piece and give John what for (no, not you John,
although you deserve it for all the terrible German translations over the last
year or so), John the hardware and wire guy, and see if I can't get some
compensation</FONT></DIV>
