Greetings Gang;

        It's QRPigOut time again, and just about the right time to make 
spring house cleaning fun again.... er.... yet!...

        Now I've been thinkin' that one of the reasons we've not been able 
to conger up any enthusiasm for a new group project  may be because we've 
lost ourselves in familiarity.... Perhaps we've all become too accustomed 
to our respective lairs, and are no longer being inspired by musings such 
as "What on earth can I come up with that would be a useful and clever use 
of this... ah... wha... hmmm... widget thingy?" Sure!... It took 3 stiff 
whacks across the back of the gray matter storage bin before I was finally 
jarred into pseudo consciousness, but it's not an entirely irrational 
concept to consider that  with unrelenting persistence, even I can rise to 
the task of getting my attention when the planets are appropriately 
poised. 

        So.... here's da deel Gang! Whadaya say we make the April QRPigOut 
an "Inspiration Exchange"? Think of it as a refresher "boot camp for 
dumpster divers". Dig deep and dust off some of that stuff you've too long 
been overlookin' and long since convinced yourself you're never gonna git 
around ta usin'! Tote it along to QRPigOut, throw it into the ring, then 
step back and tally the weak souls who pick it up, ponder what they can do 
with it, and either set it back down or adopt it as their own. 

        Sirs Ed (AE4EC) and Derek (WF4I) inspired this idea, by their 
generous donations that were timed to intercept Thursday's monthly bread 
breakerage. I too have been sitting on a few of what has to be at least 
"useable" if not useful goodies so long that my (physical) vision and 
(inspirational) vision have now parted company. I will make it a point to 
bring along some "stuff" of my own that would make a dipsy dumpster proud. 


        If you're in need of "deep diver" recertification, KnightLite 
observers will be standing by to assist you. 

        See ya'all Thursday night Gang!  This should be a rheel whoot! :-)

Resolution of disagreement ALWAYS leads to better understanding... 
assuming all parties survive the conflict.
