GE All, and welcome to the last PCL Packet Net for 2024.

No early checkins, other than Daryl, he's out due to weather. 

Net order will be Bob(PA), Mike, Carl, and whoever else shows up. 

Nothing much new to report here. We had been cold and snowy, but 
today it warmed up and almost all our snow is gone. Looks like we 
won't have a white Christmas. 
Nothing new to report on the ham radio front.  
Just busy Christmas shopping! hihi

VA7RBP Rick : GE Bob and all on NET! 
VA7RBP Rick : We've had a bit of snow, off and on, but no accumulation, so far.

VA7RBP Rick : with friends, and of course Christmas dinner coming up next week...

VA7RBP Rick : I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! BTU Bob >>> 
VA7RBP Rick :  

That is correct, the next net will be Jan 6. 
Well you know what Daryl says about the definition of HAM, Have Another Meal. 
But I feel your pain. My son has gotten into a baking stretch - his latest 
offerings have been brownies and sugar cookies - just what a growing boy needs! 
I haven't been bitten by the 3D printing bug yet. It does look like fun though. 
Water tanks are the worst - it seems the time between the first drips and a full 
on flood are about 15 minutes!  Well maybe not quite that bad, but they go quick. 

That's round 1, back to the top for final comments. 

Bob, anything else? >>>
