The Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) event from three days ago is now starting to affect the satellite environment here on earth. You can watch Space Weather here.

If it were me, I would call it a week about now and hope things improve by Monday.

I am in the office till noon and then camping for the weekend, hopefully the Garmin still works, LOL.

Thanks, yes, I was looking for a post on Page 1 here, but found it further down after I posted the question in this thread.

Your Welcome.

Hows things in the High Desert? I have relatives in the Glass Butte area that we haven't talked to in a few weeks and we'll be seeing them next month. Any chance that you could find youself in the area of either Portland or Seattle at that time? We will be trying to arrange a Beer Leg gathering while we are in the area. Keep in touch.

No plans to be either place right now, will say Portland would be much more likely, I will stay tuned to the plans.

We were doing all gun work this week - by necessity, due to tree cover. so it didn't effect us.
I'm hoping to see the Aurora tonight if the smoke from the fires diminishes enough. 😐
