    Am I going to be the sole Islander at Deerfield

    AGAIN?????

    F'ing SUPER hamfest. Lots and lots and lots of goodies, good times, great friendly hams. IMHO, a lot more fun than Dayton.

    To begin with, Dayton's in OH...'nuff said.

    For Dayton, you HAVE to book a room or (maybe -- if you don't get busted by the gendarmes) sleep in your car.

    At Deerfield, you camp (if you want to) right there, anywhere.)

    The flea market is "generally" equivalent. No, it's not the huge Collins and Drake get-together as Dayton, but the vintage stuff is always there in abundance.

    C'mon up to New Hampshire. You won't regret it.

    Now you've made me hungry for Filet of Sole Claudine. Filets rolled in lettuce in a sauce of white wine and cream with a julienne of carrots, mushrooms, and shallots. Mmmmmmmmmmm.......

    653 miles, over a 12 hour drive. I'd love to see New Hampshire again, but that's a trip that's gonna require planning!

    Even Paul, N1LAF, is 3 hours out. I guess the closet I've ever been was when I was in Londonderry a few years (almost 10, now) back. It's very pretty up there. You folks landscape around the rocks (boulders) in your front yards. Impressed the hell outta me!
    QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?

    Hell, you don't have to go that far for that. Short drive up to Washington County in Maryland will give you all the rocks in yards and fields you want, front yards too. Makes Loudoun look like a marshland. Locals tell me that rocks are the biggest crop in Washington County next to dairy.

    That a 6200 mile round trip. For what it would cost me in gas alone I could almost buy a brand new IC-7000.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Here's hoping your trucking gets you close some year.

    AFAIC, you will.

    I don't do hamfests.

    So is Dayton (or so I hear) and I have no plans to attend that hamfest either.
