Sounds like your knees are progressing along well. Like Rwb said, there's no need to get in a hurry. You'll be running around the farm in no time.

I got a few minutes to set at the base this afternoon and did hear some yakking going on. I heard Colorado calling out but couldn't connect but manage to connect with Illinois for a short bit on the Lincoln II+ on 39 lsb. Heard traffic on 37-39 lsb. Jumped around a bit but it didn't last long. I've tried that 26.805 FM but can't seen to get lucky with someone being home. Well I'm not going to get to excited because I'm in the middle of making a custom set of Forks for my tractor bucket so I can pick up a custom built car-port to move it to the back section of yard. Then I can drop my antenna for fine tune adjustment and maybe be better ready for fall DX. Talk about a Dreamer ! LOL
about noon today, the skip went wild. only lasted about an hour. from northeast ohio, was hearing Columbus, Dayton, Michigan, and WV mixed up with everybody else in the country.
I took some pto to get some projects done around the house. I turned a radio on as i walked by it and ended up talking short skip for a couple of hours 
. From about 11 this morning until about 2 I worked several station in Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas, Arizona and southern Utah. Pretty weird but nice crystal clear Dx. I didn't log a thing, but a needlebender (don't recall who) said I made his livestream so maybe I'll run into it sometime.

storming on n off all weekend here. tried last nite lots distant lightning . checked and it wasnt far so i unhooked again
My 2547 was doing a lot of yakking yesterday, of coarse it had to be the weekend but I had a intense project going on outside anyway. Then a thunderstorm come rolling in late afternoon- early evening so unhooked also.
if anybody near me,4 state area ark,ks,okla and mo have a scanner on and have railroad channels in it and on listen to it unbeliveable how much its done .trees across tracks from tulsa to springfield,flooding everywhere. and more storms coming so no radioing again till the weather calms her butt down a notch. getting bored not hearing voices on radios
It's been quiet here for several weeks !
Same here. Nothing but static and a few distant voices for the last couple weeks. I've drifted away from the radio and into some of my other hobbies it's been quiet for so long LOL!
Same here. Other hobbies are getting my spare time now.
Like they say ( I'm up to my hinney in alligators ) getting summer work done and soon I'll be dropping the antenna for a little SWR tuneup. Both ends of the channel spectrum aren't too bad but the low channels are better than the high and I'd like to even them out. But if all else fails I'd rather have the High channels better than the low. Just my idiosyncrasy. LOL And hopefully it will pay off if the fall and winter DX returns. In the mean time Keep on Hoeing Boys. LOL
Same exact situation here in the U.K. Never been so quiet for so long. By chance the weather has been amazing. Mostly sunny, warm and dry (a rare occurrence in these parts). Consequently I momentarily gave up on the radio and drove my Harley instead discovering beautiful roads in the countryside where I live.
lightning ended about 730 sky grew clear.hooked up at 8 .was voices in dx couldnt reach em. but 2 weeks or so ago dropped my antenna repaired it re erected it and didnt slide it up all the way . i got heavy pipe inside pipe i slide up put bolt through hole n let top pipe rest on bolt then tighten 2 1/2 inch set bolts up reset guy lines. seems i used the jib pipe i clamp on outside pipe i hool come along pully in and use to pull inside pipe up. havnt got chance to scrounge scrap pile for more pipe
