BARA PRESIDENT'S REPORT

From The President's Desk of George KC6KGH

Did anyone ever notice that they have Braille on the buttons of the Drive-up window at the bank? That's kind of disconcerting.But it makes me glad in one respect; after I have my 7th surgery on my eyes this week and on my one eye that works farely well, I'm hoping I don't have to use those buttons, while driving.Hey, I'm a firm believer in thinking positive while maintaining a good sense of humor.Laughter really is a good medicine.
I was laughing today when I woke up to wind, rain, and 40 degrees. I've stopped trusting the weathercasters, and started depending on my Arthritis as my Barometer.It seems to be more reliable.
I think it's great that we've moved our Net to 28.450 usb on 10 Meters on Monday Nites at 6:30 pm.With the increase of Solar Activity we should be having a great time.Hope to hear everyone out there.
Gotta run for now, see you at the meeting, & if you can please check out the B.A.R.A. website at w6bar.net.
73's. GEORGE KC6KGH.
