Figured this would be as good a spot as any to put this in.
Still have a month of not lifting more than 15 lbs. Starting toget a little energy but 15 lbs, leaves me few options. So working on lights and cleaning shop. Cleaning is by no means my long trait. But some cool think take me back a few yrs. Dad had a electronics repair shop. If it was electronic he could fix it. Had contract for years for police radios. They all knew him.
Had all kinds of crazy gear of the time which attracted many with same interests. Starting in late 50s I got to use CB walkie talkies that were just under wattage that req. License which created crazy situations with CB cops from local club.
Stumbled across a 70+- yr old piece of that history. Not well thought out, bottom burnt through quickly.

Hi @Mike1950 , I hope your recovery from your surgery goes quickly! I’ve had two surgeries in the past five years in which I’ve been under the same restrictions, so I can relate.
So have I. First one no big deal. I healed fast then got covid so there went 3-4 weeks. I was bad, lifting carefully long before 6 weeks. No hernia. This one i surely do not want to do again. 2 weeks and I am worthless, doing great but worthless.
