I test the Pelican ProGear Elite cooler 45 quart versus the Igloo cooler 20 Quart. This are heavy duty coolers similar to Yeti coolers. They are best for long term camping. These coolers hold food for a long time with their extra insulation.
This is a side by side ice cooler review just for fun.

Get up off the couch, get motivated, run some miles, feel good, get out there! Women Run with friends!
Tackling a new distance, posting a personal best, losing weight we embrace big challenges. But what happens after that goal is met?
You risk stalling unless you changed your routines to those of a stronger, healthier runner. Runners who are consistent with good habits have the most success. When it comes to making resolutions, consider goals based on process instead of outcome.
That way, you can sustain momentum by celebrating small, frequent victories. And you’ll avoid the all-or-nothing thinking that triggers massive disappointment if factors beyond your control interfere along the way—for instance, if you wake up to a hot race day.
The benefits of healthy habits blend into a better life beyond running, too. Here are 12 healthy habits the most highly motivated runners develop, with expert advice on how to make them your own.

Medicine Park, OK Swimming & a Quick QRP QSO
Medicine Park is a town in Comanche County, Oklahoma, United States, situated in the Wichita Mountains near the entrance to the 60,000-acre (240 km2) Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge. Medicine Park has a long history as a vintage cobblestone resort town. Medicine Park is located near the city of Lawton and Fort Sill. It is an exurb, part of the Lawton Metropolitan Statistical Area. Many of the original structures are constructed of naturally formed cobblestones—these red granite cobblestones are unique to the Wichita Mountains. The population was 382 at the 2010 census.
Contents
Medicine Park was founded on July 4, 1908, by Elmer Thomas, a young lawyer who had just become a member of the Oklahoma State Senate and would end his career in 1951 as a U.S. senator.
In the spring of 1906, five years after the establishment of the Wichita Mountains National Forest, Elmer Thomas envisioned the need not only for a recreational area but for a permanent water source for the newly founded nearby city of Lawton.
When the resort first opened, it consisted merely of a large surplus Army tent with a wooden floor where hot meals were served. Two dams were constructed on Medicine Creek to form Bath Lake Swimming Hole, and a limited number of campsites were constructed.
Tourists came to Medicine Park from around Oklahoma and North Texas. Soon, there were two inns—the Outside Inn and the Apache Inn. Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys became regulars at the Dance Hall from 1929 through the late 1930s. Soon numerous other famous bands of the day made their way through Medicine Park en route to big city venues in Oklahoma City, Dallas, and Fort Worth.
The nearby Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge and Lake Lawtonka attracted thousands of people each weekend and throughout the seasons. Medicine Park became the “playground” for the state’s rich, famous and notorious. Outlaws and horse thieves mixed with noted politicians and businessmen, soldiers and officers from Fort Sill, families, and socialites in the new cobblestone community. The pages of the town’s colorful history are filled with such figures as Will Rogers, Wiley Post, Frank Phillips, Al Capone, Bonnie and Clyde,

MFJ Trailer Hitch Antenna Mounts slide into your 2-in. trailer hitch slot. Your trailer hitch mount can hold small, medium and large HF/VHF/UHF antennas… you may even mount HF screwdriver antennas.
These antenna mounts employ heavy-duty aluminum construction. The same pin used for the towing bar may be used to hold the MFJ-2822 in place. They have 3/8-24 threaded Gum-Drop connector for HF or larger VHF antennas. Dimensions for the mount are 2W x 2H x 10-1/4D.
These mounts will have some play inside the receiver-hitch opening. This is normal as the hitch is designed to easily accept towing bar changes. Connecting a ground strap (user supplied) with a quick connect to the MFJ-2822 is recommended as the hitch does not supply the antenna with a secure ground connection.
If you need a mount that removes height restrictions (trees, garage doors, etc.) by mounting your antenna at the lowest possible point on your truck, SUV or sedan, then think about one of these MFJ Trailer Hitch Antenna Mounts
For Top Portable Performance, Carry a "Big Stick"! Like our Big Ear, this portable monopole features MFJ`s rugged 17 stainless-steel collapsible whip paired with an adjustable high-Q air-wound coil. Efficiency matters, so it`s not surprising this winning combination stands head and shoulders above shorter backpack antennas.
True Backpack Portability: Antenna is over 18 feet long fully extended, but disassembles and collapses to 28 in seconds. Fits into most any size packs!
Light Weight: Just over 2 lbs. You`ll hardly know your packing it!!!
Versatile: Includes MFJ-342T pipe mount -- quickly and easily mounts to a ¼ or ½ inch pipe or mast. SO-239 with lock washer feeds coax underneath the ⅜ - 24 connector.
General Coverage: Tapped loading coil covers 7.0-55.0 MHz without gaps. Great for Ham Bands and outstanding for image-free shortwave broadcast!
Rugged Construction: All aluminum, stainless steel construction ensures years of excellent performance. One Killowatt rated components guarantee electrical safety.
Counterpoise kit included: Ensures low SWR, high efficiency, maximum site safety.
BigStick is for the Ham radio operator on the move and on-the-go and hungry for the next great QSO anywhere or anytime!

New Yaesu compact HF and 50 MHz 100W SDR Transceiver available in December 2020.
Functionalities of the top line models in a smaller form factor transceiver. FTDX10 is going to utilize the Yaesu Hybrid SDR Configuration.
FTDX10 Price has been announced by Yaesu Dealers in Europe and Canada but not yet in USA since still missing for FCC Approval.
FT DX 10 Features
15 separate band pass filters
Effective QRM rejection with the IF DSP (IF SHIFT/WIDTH, IF NOTCH DNF, DNR, COUNTOUR)
High-quality and super stable final amplifier utilizing the new push-pull MOSFET RD70HUP2

Optional speaker – SP-30 designed for the new FTDX10
Optional roofing filter (300Hz) – XF-130CN available
Hybrid SDR Configuration
Like the FTDX101 series, the new FTDX10 utilizes the Yaesu Hybrid SDR configuration – Narrow Band SDR and Direct Sampling SDR. The Narrow band SDR receiver emphasizes excellent receiver performance, while the Direct Sampling SDR provides a Digital Processing Real-Time Spectrum Scope.
Narrow Band SDR
Narrow Band SDR with 3 types of Roofing Filters and Phenomenal Multi-signal receiving Characteristics
Like the FTDX101 series, the Down Conversion type receiver configuration with the first IF at 9MHz has been adopted. It makes it possible to incorporate excellent narrow bandwidth crystal roofing filters that have the desired sharp “cliff edge” shape factor. Thanks to the Narrow Band SDR with the latest circuit configuration including 500Hz, 3kHz and 12kHz roofing filters and low noise oscillator, the RMDR (Reciprocal Mixing Dynamic Range) reaches 116dB or more, the close-in BDR (Blocking Dynamic Range) reaches 141dB or more, and 3rd IMDR (third-order Intermodulation Dynamic Range) reaches 109dB or more, in the 14MHz band at 2kHz separation.
