Lil’ Ol’ Roy was not pleased with his hat made for my beautiful shopping cart pushing assistant. No reflective vest available? No problem, make due with flagging tape (available in the hardware section of the store)! #SafetyFirst #WMPLOTA

Thanks to all that shopped with Bean @KC1MEB and I this #WMPLOTA contest. Incoming rain and thunderstorms mean we ended the rove. 73. We had a freaking blast.

Walmart #3760 New Ulm, MN: Last stop on this tour of EN24 Walmart parking lots. Steady rain coming down but still planning to activate this store. Maybe that cowboy hat I bought last night will finally prove useful? aprs.fi/AD0HJ #WMPLOTA

Does this mean we need to add a new award? We need a name for it. Who ever thought we would be making #ISS contacts with astronauts from Walmart parking lots? Thank you @astro_kjell for your participation in #WMPLOTA. 📡🛰️
