Passed the Technician exam yesterday morning! Just [im]patiently waiting for the FCC to assign my call sign. Already started studying for the General license and need to start acquiring some equipment. Looking forward to getting on the air and glad to finally be able to scratch this goal off my list! . #neverstoplearning #goals #AmateurRadio #Technician #Ham #Tech #emcomm #communication #POTA #SOTA #hamradio #TheSuburbanAngler

Had a fantastic first experience with GSSF today, weather notwithstanding! Every person I dealt with was friendly, helpful and encouraging. The few minor issues I ran into were quickly and easily remedied. I only fell short of my goal of not missing by a couple shots, so I'm pretty happy with my performance and have better focus on the areas that need work. As much fun as I had, and with as much as I learned today, I can't wait to do it again, especially on a good weather weekend! Volunteering as an RO only added to the experience! If you're interested in a low pressure, fun and relaxing pistol competition check out GSSF and I hope to see you at a match soon! . #GSSF #glocksportshootingfoundation #GlockShowdown #Savannah #SavannahGA #17SouthRodAndGunClub #Glock #pistolmatch #sportshooting #precisionsports #shootingrange #mud #rain #cold #fun #challenging #VolunteerRangeOfficer #PhotoCredToDad #TheSuburbanAngler

Took a spin around the perimeter drive at Ravine Gardens State Park today. We'll definitely be back to spend more time when the plants flower in the spring! And, the office was closed, so I still need the stamp for my State Parks Passport! . #RavineGardensStatePark #RavineGardens #StatePark #FLStateParks #StateParkPassport #garden #FLOutdoors #FloridaSprings #spring #pond #artesianwell #footbridge #Palatka #TheSuburbanAngler

Tried a new-to-us doughnut place this morning. Warm, fresh-made, vanilla doughnuts covered with your choice of toppings. We went with the half-dozen Autumn Selection. Wasn't bad. . #DuckDonuts #DaytonaBeach #LPGABlvd #doughnuts #donuts #doughnutshop #picnicbreakfast #coffee #coffeeanddonuts #TheSuburbanAngler

Breaking in my new Corn Cob Nation 2021 Pipe of the Year tonight. Love the volcano-shaped bowl and the fiery acrylic stem, but I may have to try putting a slight bend in it. . #CCNPOTY2021 #NationPipe2021 #CornCobNation #PipeOfTheYear2021 #MissouriMeerschaum #corncobpipe #tobaccopipe #pipetobacco #balconyview #flygear #TheSuburbanAngler

I was a few magazines short of the recommended number. I'll still have to reload between stages, but this should, at least, get me through a full stage. . #mags #Glockmags #almostenough #reload #Glock #glocksportshootingfoundation #GSSF #precisionsports #FLOutdoors #GAOutdoors #gear #TheSuburbanAngler
