Good Evening,
The huckleberries are getting eaten by the chickadees so I have to
hustle. Thimble berries are showing the effects of the heat wave during
their flowering phase. Few fruit are ripe in this dry weather. The
black raspberries are doing great though. I saw a chipmunk on a branch,
with his back to the sun, eating one like it was corn on the cob. He
lives in the middle of a thicket of berry stalks. Life is good.
The sun is growing more active with a speckled surface and lively
flares. We may, or may not, be hit by a CME in the near future. The
pundits are uncertain. Solar flux rose to 94 sfu earlier in the week,
but it has dropped back to 87 at the present time. Summer storms send
their normal background noise. Hopefully they signal rain and not more
fires.
I was standing under a vine maple when a hawk landed right next to
me. I heard the rush of wings then a thump as he grabbed a branch. We
looked at each other for a few moments before he decided to leave. The
thinning has given him more flight paths through the forest. That
chipmunk had better be vigilant, an incautious rodent can become a feast.
Please join us on (or near):
14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
7047 kHz at 0000z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday)
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS

Time passes softly and I'm a day older
But still I'm living days gone by
Ashes to ashes, the rain's turning colder
Finding tomorrow, the ashes, the rain and I
