[Faith-talk] Inaccessible sites

[Debby Phillips]

a ham shack is a room or other place where ham radio operators work with their ham radio equipment. Ours also serves as the laundry room, Lol.

>> Thanks, Linda. Hope you're having a good day. We had most of the carpets cleaned in our house today. Wow, what a difference! They cleaned our guest room, our bedroom, the stairs, a little bit of our ham shack--most of it is too full to be cleaned, LOL. They also are doing the outdoor carpet on our front steps. It's something that should be done periodically, but we were forced in to it by our cat who urinated in the guest room. I suspect our granddaughter trapped him in there once when she was staying with us and he couldn't get out to go to his litter box, because he never has done this in other parts of the house.    Blessings,    Debby
