An apology to PV&J: I regret that I have decided, in the best interest of all, that I would not be in attendance, even if you did choose to have a 2021 New Year's event.
Skype, Teams, Zoom? That's a different.
Oh, wait! Do they have internets in New Hampster?

Yes, in fact they do. I can can verify this even though I am no longer resident there and would be unable to make the trip. They also have a lot of ice, and massive quantities of white stuff they call 'snow' but is really ice with so many tiny air bubbles entrapped that it looks white. Just like that ice your freezer makes.

While I wasn't a regular attendee, I will miss these. I guess going to the beach and watching fireworks (if you are in the right place) will have to make up for it.

Cheers,

PH

Oh, I knew that there was 9600 baud rate dial-up in the DPRCow Hampshire, and that on a clear day one could pick up a decent wireless signal from across the border in Mass, but it's been so long that I wasn't aware if any communication technology higher than tin cans on a string had been permitted.

and Happy First Friday of 2021. (sigh)

Odd not to be planning a trip to NH today. Julie, Peter, and cats, we'll miss you!

Oh, it's permitted, they just tax the <bleep> out of it and call it a 'fee' or some form of tax that isn't called sales tax. It really is, but if they call it something different, it isn't, right? :p

Cheers,

This has been a turbulent year. The Ho5G passed into 2012 in a lonely state. Perhaps when restrictions ease up A summer GTG may be warranted. Time will rule this decision we will see what the summer brings.

This coming New Years Day marks the 4th year since a Ho5G GTG has been held, time has sure flown by. Hope all is well with you, Peter and Julie, I truly appreciate the times you opened your home up to us TDI folks, it is missed:(....
