Comments:
I knew my XYL had a dinner party planned and that I was going to be the chef,
but even that was not my biggest problem. I was to start cooking at 3 pm local
time, so thought I would get 2 hours in BEFORE the prep/party and would then
operate again from 10 pm till 1 am, at least 5 hours total. Instead, 2.5 year
old would NOT take his nap and was very fussy, so no afternoon operating (15
min was all I could manage). Party went fine, but at 8 pm got violently ill
with vomiting all over, abrupt end to party and he was crying till about 11 pm.
XYL thought I was insane to give up sleep to operate, but fortunately baby slept
all night long (till 6 am, anyway).
40 was basically done when I got on at 11 pm, so it was a 160/80 contest
working on my SO2R skills S&P'ing on 40. Sorry for all the mixed up exchanges,
a novice SO2R op and too much wine. Maybe next year I'll have better luck.
