Food Photo Challenge (July 2020) – Summer Drink

With COVID-19 still running rampant, my Friday night go-to, while open in a limited capacity, has become my Friday night to-go. I'm happy that they are offering curbside service so I can get my Tex-Mex fix. With the new rules, Texas now allows take out liquor drinks provided they are purchased with food. The containers also have a security tab that must stay affixed until you are out of the car. That's a lot of words to say that my summer drink is a refreshing margarita. Typically on the rocks as is this one. This particular one was even sweeter as it was enjoyed on my birthday!

Food Photo Challenge (June 2020) – Veggies

Is a pepper a vegetable? I hope so because this is all I got this month. I flaked out I guess. But take a look  at this sucker. It was huge. I wish I took one before I took a bite. That small bite was all I ate of it. It was pretty spicy!

Photo Blogging Challenge – The Notebook (June 2020)

It's time for another a lil hoohaa monthly challenge. This month's theme was The Notebook. I missed some obvious ones thinking back. But I have plenty of notebooks lying around.

This is my regular catch-all. It was a freebie from a conference a few years back. 

I really like Field Notes notebooks. Several years ago, one of my Boy Scouts told me about Recycled Firefighter. This one holds the Field Note memo book and is made of recycled fire hose by a retired fireman. This has traveled on all of our backpacking/canoeing adventures as my camp journal.

We have just a few notebooks at work holding the paper we don't need to scan or archive for long periods of time.

The last weekend in June is ARRL Field Day for Amateur Radio operators. I earned my Technician license a little more than a year ago. It is the base license and doesn't give me access to many bands. Normally that wouldn't be an issue, our club would get together in the park and I could work off a more advanced license. Due to COVID, our club did not have an official gathering. One of the other members invited me to his place, and practicing appropriate social distancing guidelines, allowed me to work his setup. We didn't get all the continental US states but we covered a great deal of them as well as Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area.

Do we still refer to laptops of a certain size as notebooks? As COVID numbers rise here in Texas again, I'm preparing to move my office back home for a time.

That's five and I'm done. Take a look over at alilhoohaa to see the other participants. And join in next month!
