I finished my prep book from the ARRL for the General license on Saturday and now I'm working my way through the one above. I bought this one first, but I wasn't totally pleased with the format. There's a lot of new material to absorb and this one, while giving me all the correct answers, didn't seem like it would give me the understanding of the different topics. However, having read the other book, I don't think I'm going to be able to understand much of the material anyway. Now my focus is to just pass the test regardless of how much I understand the material. I'll read this one and then start taking practice tests. The 35 test questions will be drawn from a pool of 432, and I need to get 26 correct to pass. It's going to take some studying but it's too soon to start worrying.
Cold weather's definitely here - high of 11 yesterday and negative numbers last night. Today's going to be about the same. I made a big pot of 3 bean chili yesterday - hit the spot.
The air bubble in my eye disappeared yesterday. The eyesight out of that eye is brighter since the surgery, but the lines that should be straight are still wavy. The doctor told me it'll be a while before it gets completely healed.
Cuzzin Ricky and I are going to pay our respects this morning for one of our cousins that passed away recently. Lovely lady - may she rest in peace.
We've had a rough start to the new year so far. Hope things go well at the inauguration and in the future.
Stay warm!
