Completely forgot it was Valentines 💝…but neither of us care so it doesn’t matter.

Did two hills today. They were a bit of rush as I wanted to do two and also get home to do school pick up so my wife doesn’t have to rush. I’ve done the 50 mile drive to Braemar many times now!

Friend got his computer I sent for his birthday. Was surprised which was nice. Makes me debate my home server setup. Whilst I’m debating that I also setup a raspberry pi 3 with the 7” touchscreen that’s been in the cupboard for years. It’s nice, makes me want to get a rpi 5 and use it as my main desktop. The idea is that I’m going to make a SOTA chaser dashboard thing where I can press a spot of someone and then it changes to radio to their frequency and I can enter their signal report and log it to the SOTA site and my log.

The hardware part was easy. The software is going to take a while. Thinking of using node red to do it.
