For the first time in 37 years I was not sitting at the radio ready to go when
the clock struck 2100z. After 3400 QSOs in CQ WW last weekend and another 2400
as W1AW/1 this week, I did not have my usual radio excitement for SS CW.  So I
did sit down about 2 minutes late and had to wait for the computer to reboot. 
Hey - its SS CW!

I had hinted to my wife that I did not plan to be serious.  She came into the
shack about 01z to see if I wanted to go out to dinner.  This was when guys
were calling in at 2 per minute.  I decided to take 2 hours and go, knowing
that finding QSOs on Sunday would be much harder.

Had 82 sections by Sunday morning.  Not a hint of VE8.  KL7RA was booming in
for hours so the band was open.  Spent hours tuning 10 and 15 meters.

I sat down at 01z to make a few QSOs before turning off the radio and switched
to 20m. Heard VE8EV work someone.  First sign of a VE8 all weekend!  Spent the
next hour trying everything I could think of to find him.  Tuned and tuned. 
Called CQ with the beam north.  No luck.  :(

I love copying the long SS exchange.  We just need to find an additional
500-1000 people to share that passion and this would be a great contest. 
Unfortunately, it gets pretty slow on Sunday.

With 10m so good and my 2 hours off Sat evening, this is one of the weirdest
band by band totals I have ever had.  Usually 40m dominates.

This is my 37th consecutive year to make more than 1000 contacts in SS CW.

Thanks for the QSOs!
