President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

They can only be lawless if complacency allows. Don't be complacent or you are complicit. Silence is complicity.

WEATHER: Winter precipitation will start in the metro around 2am. I’m predicting it lingers to between 10 and 11am. Roads in a good portion of northern and central Oklahoma will be slick and hazardous as temperatures will not break 30°F. #OKwx Be weather aware, have a plan, and stay safe.

#HAMRadio: Installed my ICOM 2820H in #CirrusPearl and all seems fine. There was a warning in the owner’s manual about possible two-way radio interference with vehicle systems. I was betting HF or 11M in lieu of VHF/UHF. #hamradioporn #Tundra1794 @toyotausa

Friday Morning: As the winter storm ebbs, we have 3.5” on the ground. A flash freeze is not expected this morning in the metro. However, snow melt and expected overnight temperatures in the teens for Friday night will lead to extremely hazardous road conditions for Saturday morning. #skywarnspotter

Thursday Evening: A rare winter snow storm blanked the metro. Seen here, our blue spruce laced in snow. This photo is actually in color.

Party line voting is the death of informed democracy. It has boiled the most important choices down to pure cult tribalism.

I intentionally misgendered this buck. A small experiment to see who sees and pays attention to my posts. So many folks post these requests to cut and paste. So, for grins I misgendered this buck calling him a doe. Thanks to all who responded with corrections. I’m glad you’re paying attention.

Thursday Evening: While replacing the 8209 regulator chip in my Astron 70 linear power supply, I managed to break a pin tip. Fortunately the power supply either doesn’t use the pin or it’s making solid contact. So far, it seems to be working perfectly. #hamradio #Electronics

New Year’s Day: Our preparations for a splendid meal of black eyed peas, fried taters and cornbread. We also had “Dirty” Banana Pudding for dessert. Overall, I’d say today was a true success, even with a few no show invites. We understand, life happens. Here’s to good luck and prosperity in 2025.
