Happy New Year!
       
       Just  a quick  note  today since  my  day off  is  waning fast.  I
       probably  should make  a  bunch of  excuses as  to  why I  haven't
       written as  of late, but  they're just that. Excuses.  Needless to
       say, I am a bit sad that I hadn't worked up the gumption to post a
       ROOPHLOCH entry for 2021, but even  some of my old standbys became
       walls of  additional work  to debug  and overcome.  There's always
       next year (this year) and I  had tossed around some ideas with one
       of our  local sundogs that  I should  probably work on  before the
       crunch this time.
       
       Sadly,  one of  the reasons  that got  me down  was learning  of a
       amateur radio  friend who became  a silent  key. He was  the first
       contact I had made when I keyed  up a local repeater, and was well
       known in  the region, running  several nets and generally  being a
       pleasant and helpful person on the airwaves. This is to you, Doug:
       you will be missed.
