Taking Time for Me

I've been pushing myself to keep going (even though flat surfaces attracted me like a magnet), through a cold and accompanying asthma attack. I had a time constraint on finishing my prep for AEP (Annual Enrollment Period for Medicare). Fortunately, I managed to do so with my top 4 providers, and with the Marketplace, too (that's (Un)Affordable Care Act for the rest of you).

So, I was able to check into QSO Today's Virtual Conference, and learn how to build a kit for some ham radio components. I already have a transceiver (just have to get my husband to bring it up on the next trip).

I had a stellar time, and am looking forward to reviewing the video created, and finishing my new little toy. I got stalled with the project when we started winding a toroid, and my hands kept cramping. That, and my vision started getting too blurry to continue at that time. I put in drops, and will get back to it after a little down time.

There were other sessions, too - Setting up a long-distance antenna in a small space (even if you are burdened with an HOA, which I am not) was particularly interesting. We're on a lunch break for now.

That conference had been around for a while, but really took off when COVID hit. I'd attended before, but the numbers really soared when they were the only get-together in town. It's only $10 for the 2-day conference, which to me is a bargain.

I'm going to be checking into the conference tomorrow, as well. The NOARS (Northern Ohio Amateur Radio Society) has a meeting the next day. so I'll be refreshed and ready to tackle AEP prep after that.

What do any of you do for fun?

  1. I am able to create $45 per hour to complete a few jobs on a home computer. I've never thought that it's even achievable but my closest mate earned $10.5k in only five weeks simply working on this leading project & she had convinced me to join Discover extra details by going to the following link..
