Interesting that at this time of year, mostly, I get really slow in writing, or verbose.
A real feast or famine of words it seems.
This is part of the Famine, I fear.
Its raining here and has been for about a week now, complete with storms, lightning and thunder, and power outages.
Must be winter or something?

Makes a hole in your wallet first.
Later it should make a 432Mhz 22 element Uda-Yagi style OWB (Optimised Wide Band {After a dear man recently passed, called LB Cebik, a true visionary in the computer optimisation of antennae of all kinds}).
BTW ALi, means Aluminum, or Aluminium if you live down here in New Zealand, just like optimiSed not optimiZed.
Any who, I’ve decided to make a couple of new antennae or aerials if you prefer. Two Japanese Professors, Uda and Yagi did the first theory on using parasitic “directors” and “reflectors”, to cause the radiation of a standard “Dipole” to be both Reflected and directed into a tighter beam. Research into making this better has been going on ever since. One example of this is the TV Yagi, which is more correctly called a Television Bandwidth Ultra High Frequency Log Periodic Dipole Antenna or TV UHF LPDA for short which is why its normally called a TV Antenna.
The OWB I’m making are designed by me, using the work of LB Cebik and many others to work in the band and financial limits I have.
Anyway thats what I’m up to is those spare moments.

Georgie, was my little cat, just 13 years old, buried her yesterday. DW started to dig a hole in the bush out back, but cut into
a wasp nest and was attacked, I went to her rescue only to be stung also. She got more than 15 stings.
I dug in the front yard and buried Georgie there, VET said she may have had a brain tumor, but I’m not so sure.
Our surviving cat is Fluffy just 18 years old, she does miss her companion, as we do.

Not that I’m depressed or anything , actually I am worse than that, what ever thats called.
Sucked my enormous consternation in and went back to work, only to be told that the
rest of the workers had been told that I’d left, and wasn’t coming back. Which I never said,
but I held my tongue, and got “re-integrated back into the team”, but in my heart Im
plotting my final escape but money in hand hopefully.
We have decided to sell the house and find some smaller place “cheaper”, and try to
reduce the mortgage to a manageable level.
Peace.
