At 745a, Packard was blocked in both directions to auto traffic between State and Hill. The detour is Packard to Hill to State to Packard, which is as slow as you might expect.
Sidewalks are still open.
I *think* this is a Healthy Streets installation, since nothing was torn up and no visible signs of problems on the road.
Collins Aerospace, a division of Raytheon, has bought Flightaware.
I currently feed ADS-B data to Flightaware, and I'm aware there are other servers that will also take feeds. TIme to re-evaluate my current setup (and see if it might make sense to switch things around to be different).
Sunday a.m. bike lane report, supplemental
Rode to town via Granger/S Forest/South U/Diag/William St. A much more pleasant ride than the straight shot down Packard.
Shopping for e-bikes at HEH.

Focus Stars: motivation without guilt
For a month now I’ve been doing a very successful experiment in orienting my time to what matters to me most, without beating myself up with incomplete to-do lists. I track my successful focusing by coloring in part of a simple drawing I made. I use a color that makes me very happy.
I have seven areas I am choosing to focus on. For each of those areas, there’s a daily habit I want to do. When I do it, I fill in that point...

Looking to buy a #NanoVNA and looking for recommendation for a US supplier. I see that Nooelec has a kit with some extras that I think I could put good use to.
I have been warned that Amazon is not a good source because of widely variable quality.
I really want to improve my antenna situation before I even consider a more powerful VHF/UHF radio.
