Exciting Ride!

Couple bad Murphies.....

first one is our logging program decided to not invoke our county line change
macros that save us 2-3 minutes per county switch.....probably cost us and hour
of operating time and 80-90 qso's.....
and we weren't even using N1MM or Windows 10!!!

second Murphy....I noticed all day long cars kept occasionally flashing their
headlights at us.  Then around 4:30 when it got dark, everyone did.  Ron had
some wood in back of his truck and we though his headlights were just pointed
too high.  At end of contest, when we got out of truck......both his headlights
were burned out!  no headlights and we are two hours from home and no open
garage to fix the problem.
long story short, we spent the night in North Branch, Minnesota.
all in all not too bad....found a  restaurant next door that had a full rack of
ribs for $13.99 and Porter beer on tap....
made it home in daylight Sunday morning.

anyway, made it to 28 of our 29 planned counties....ran out of time to get to
Pine.
Thought the bands were in pretty good shape...just not many CW ops chasing us. 
very slow at times...a big hoot on 80 last 90 minutes.

Thanks to all who did follow us.
