Yesterday I went up to Mt Spokane and spent the day working on a repeater, arrived back home around 1700, completely spent. I layed down for a nap at 1730, some nap, I woke up at 2200! Back to bed at almost midnight and slept til 0530. Coffee, breakfast and back up the hill I went. Just got home and want to take a nap again. It's nice that I have an almost full thermos, I got things to attend to tonight.
Sunday it's supposed to snow hard up there so I won't be going up that goat trail for at least two days, slipping off the narrow trail and taking a shortcut to the bottom doesn't appeal to me.
The weather down here calls for lots more rain tomorrow but I've had chicken marinating for a day and a half so I'll spend a little time outside cooking. Chicken adobado with green rice and some avocado will be a nice treat! I'll take the easy way out and heat up a can of refried beans instead of cooking some.
