Chicago on Saturday so I better cut the grass (or hay field) today, only 46 degrees today but at least I won't sweat. Sent the radio to Icom last Monday, $58 to ship, probably will not hear from them for a while - it didn't arrive in Wasington until Friday. Need to get on the bike, but with 55 mile an hour weinds yesterday and cold with rain no rides this weekend. The feed end of my long wire antenna came down so I need to fix it also. Best get to work. 746 Pro and the T81 hand held (it broke also) repaired under warrenty - wonderful

Thursday - discovered that my 764PRO radio must have taken a static discharge last night in the storms. After a phone call to ICOM it is probably something more and should be covered under warranty - I hope. Saturday - Did a couple of hours of trail work at Egypt Valley then rode a lap, need to spend more time on the bike - tired. Today went out a 7:15 for a cold (41 degrees) ride, tired from yesterday but did manage 1:45 and 22 miles. Did a hard big ring up one of the hills on Butterworth. Rode along with some runner friends for a while so the average speed sucks. Oh well, needed to keep the heart rate down today anyway.
