Is anyone going to the Huntsville Hamfest a week from today in Alabama?
I have a table and will be purveying a random assortment of crap.
I went a few years ago, but didn't get there this last time...

Jimmy,

I took the Greyhound Bus there from Little Rock, Arkansas nearly
6 years ago, as it was cheaper than flying, and Amtrak doesn't
serve the area.
I remember we talked back during that time - maybe the year after you
went is when I went?
Jimmy,

It's possible. I heard there was a great hamfest in Trussville, Alabama this past weekend (the Birminghamfest). With health, financial, plus the transportation issues, I rarely leave home now, and don't go outside the Little Rock area anymore.
For the second time since I've been with Lyft, they tried to pair me
with a high ground clearance pickup truck. The step to get in is as high
as my groin, and I'd either rip my pants, fall to the ground, or twist something (nuts to that...pun intended (hi hi)) trying to get in. So, I wrote them a stern letter, asking them to NOT pair me with these high
ground clearance vehicles.
The arthritis is so bad throughout my body, especially in my left hip
and left knee...as well as degenerative disc disease in my back and spine, that I'm in constant pain. I can not sit at the computer for long periods
of time, whether for ham radio traffic nets (with having congestive heart failure, I operate "internet only"), or for the BBS. I had to reduce the "early checkin time for my nets" from an hour to 30 minutes, and I may
need to soon cut that to 15, or eliminate it.
My health comes before any ham radio operator's ego that may be crushed
if a net shuts down.
I've got insomnia (never mind the call of nature, but I take my Lasix
at lunch), so that's why I'm up right now. Plus, hailstorms are forecast here Saturday afternoon and night, as we're now into our spring tornado season.

... I xeroxed my watch. Now, I have time to spare.
Have you considered doing a sleep study regarding your insomnia?
Sometimes the body wakes itself uyp if something isn't right. A bipap
or cpap may be necessary to correct sleep patterns.

I have severe sleep apnea. The problem is that the CPAP they gave me requires water...and the way we get lightning in central Arkansas during thunderstorms, if that's plugged in, and a close or direct strike occurs,
I could be fatally electrocuted. I already have nervous system damage from
2 indirect lightning strikes at 3 and 16 years of age.
Plus, after I moved back home 5 years ago, in putting my Mom in a nursing home (she passed away in August, 2019), much of my stuff is still in storage crates in the garage. But, after having hernia surgery after moving back home, I can't lift anything heavy, or I might undo the surgery. So, I have no idea where it is.

... I thought I was indecisive...but now, I'm not so sure.
I never heard of someone taking lightning hit from a humidifier in a cpap. I won't rule it out. If you need a cpap and you live in a storm belt area (I do as well) I would consider a UPS /battery backup for the device to keep it running in a storm and act as a form of isolation
from surges and spikes. Burning up a UPs is better than getting zapped
or burning up a cpap machine.

Yeah, I'm getting there... have started having problems with knees and
one heel... If I were going to travel away for something right now it would be for gaming... Board Games, or RPG's...
I do have on my short list, though, to visit the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum in Kentucky!!!
WOW!
That is SO so correct!!!
I'm typing this Friday night - Tornado Warning between here and the river...
Mississippi got slammed by an EF-4 tornado that devastated RollingYou ain't Whistleing Dixie there! The Clarion Ledger has a picture of a demolished House and an 18-wheeler that was lifted up, and dropped down on top of the house! And, I think they said 24 dead!
Fork and Amory. Much of Arkansas into the MidSouth is under an ENHANCED
RISK for Friday of this week. March came in like a lion, and apparently, it'll go out the same way.

Getting old is not for sissies...and if you call me a sissy, I'll hit you with my purse (hi hi).

I've seen videos on that...it looks impressive.

LOL - that's a good one!
There's a conference that the pastor is interested in going and taking
us deacons along that's being held there. Mark Spence with Living
Waters Ministries is going to be there! Would love to meet him!
