While I made no specific resolutions for this New Year, I have made a few decisions that sure look like resolutions given their timing. For example, I’m quitting on a lot of memberships and subscriptions in the coming year. Been meaning to do that since I retired but haven’t been able to pull the trigger.

With regrets and regards to all the ham radio clubs and specialty publishers with whom I’ve maintained a paid connection. I’ll begin my third year of retirement next month (time does fly) and I figure it’s time for our budget to begin looking more like that of retirees.

Nothing is immune and everything requiring a renewal will be dropped.

The same goes for kits. I’m done. I have more than a dozen radio kits that I built over the years that haven’t seen use in decades, with another two dozen waiting to be built. I keep lying to myself that I will get around to building them one of these days, but after two years of retirement the stack of kits waiting to be built continues to grow. This is just more nutty behavior that needs to end.

So no resolutions for 2025, just a few promises.
