Since the last time I talked to you, I've done some wheeling and dealing and trading, and I've got a PRS now, a guitar. My count is going up. I don't know why I need them because I can't play them all at once, but it's nice to have the variety. Anyway, I'm doing okay. I've learned a few songs. I started working on power chords here a couple weeks ago, so I'm kind of getting those under my belt and figuring out what I'm doing there. I'm doing better at them now. Definitely learning a lot. Whole notes, half notes, 16 notes, 8 notes. He's teaching me to read sheet music as well as play guitar, so I'm having a blast with that. I was hoping my original plans were to be at the picnic, but since the date changed, it is now the same date as the Lake Washington Club Rainier's Sign Net up on Nutter Mountain. I'm the net manager, and we use my radio equipment to host the Rainier's Sign Net, so I will not be there this year. I intended to be, but it didn't work out that way. Anyway, I hope everybody has a great time down there. I know we'll be up on top of the mountain up there. Anyway, W7, JSN. Well, hey, John, you will be seriously missed, and I'm sorry we're not going to be able to catch up. That's too bad. Oh well, but it sounds like you've got a good alternative, so hey, we've got a roll of it. So happy Wonderful Wednesday. Thanks for coming by and checking in. It's great to hear the guitar report. That's wonderful. So have a great Wednesday hump day. There you go. What can you say? I know what I can say.

The All-Stars phone portal isn't working and the complaint part is not accessible for me. Of course, whenever I get around to it, it isn't. That's how everything seems to be. So, I'm at least on the laptop and I don't know unless they magically fix it so I can get it on my phone. That's the foreseeable future. I don't think anyone's going to fix it because I can't magically complain. anyways so let's see it's not too bad of a Tuesday so far I don't have to work just maybe a little bit tired so I slept for a while it's like in the 430 hour and yeah good to see you in fine form last Tuesday and the next split so there to run its course pretty smooth it ended up being fast week there was there was a pretty good turnout at the Santa Claus parade that went past Main Street here and there were some performers and I could hear the music walking down the street so it's supposed to be the 90th or something anniversary of the Santa Claus parade that took place on Sunday and I guess we'll get into a holiday mood they keep forecasting a code system that's supposed to be hitting that Canada within a couple of days so there'll be people feeling the wrath of Canada's winter because most places right now they're getting a pretty good break of it right like it's seven degrees in Toronto it's four degrees here in Vancouver you know so they're getting some good temperatures yet but I think sometime during the week they're gonna drop in the minus and then it's going to start looking more like winter. I got a few ideas about Saturday. I'll probably take myself out. The last person who would usually remember my birthday would be my brother and as far as I know he's the last person that would make a big hurrah about it which It's just hilarious when he does that because when we were kids we'd have our sibling rivalry. He didn't care. I mean it's funny that it was a big occasion to him now in grown up years because I remember in the teenage years and my mom shouldn't have done this but my mom I guess obligated him to drive us around and you know we'd go and make a big thing on our birthday. he hated to do that right he'd say what's the biggie with kevin's birthday who cares so and then i kind of always tucked that in the back of my head i was like well don't uh maybe i'll do something for you one day and then i usually skipped his when it came right now i can say that it's february 11th and i don't have that bad of a faulty memory i remember I remember even in my 30s and 40s my dad would kind of command, I'd never do it but he would kind of command for me to call him, shoot him a special call on his birthday and I wouldn't because I remembered how bitter he was when it came to my day in the teenage years and I'm one of those guys I'll remember stuff like that. So yeah, that was always a to-do. I'd always just act like I don't remember. I don't have that faulty of a brain. If I can remember music, I can remember some guy's birthday. And then just like through our adult years, he always made a big deal out of mine. I don't know, maybe probably just to make up for some of that when we grew up through the teen years. And then he passed in July, it was July 7th, I usually remember that, but a big part of it was mostly what I was doing. That weekend I was rushing around trying to get things done, I remember telling you guys about it because I was making the mall on the very last minutes before it closed Saturday night. So, I had stuff to do. I wasn't thinking about him and then he got, you know, he had his, you know, accident or whatever. You know, it's funny. I have a tape, a Stretch Armstrong show, Hot 97, that was recorded right on February 11, 96. And it's kind of funny because I'm thinking, wow, you know, if I would have known, I thought we could have gave that to him for his birthday. birthday because that killed drop right on his birthday but oh well so there you go I got a few days to figure it out I'm thinking like maybe I don't know maybe going the fat bastard burritos and booking a few tables and then something like that the hell would I need a few tables for I'm just saying that just to kill air time that's the whole point of all of this because I knew I could probably do 10 minutes on my birthday all right I'll pass it back to you I did this on purpose because I want people to check into you because you got nothing but IOs so I'm just trying to hold a key down because no one else is but I'm hoping that someone follow my lead because if they don't I'm gonna look pretty stupid like you know the big mouth that doesn't know how to be quiet okay I better be quiet I'll turn it back to us I'll be here where else am I gonna go. It's my day off. I don't have anywhere to go.

Nice to join my fellow ham operators here on the longest night of the year. So the next night gets shorter and somewhere we'll be here any day now, right? Right. Anyway, yeah, talking about the hangout at the hangar, I went there also today and I also purchase to radio, not for myself but for a friend, a fellow operator on this repeater who does not have a base station and I'm using an Icom, what have I got, I got a 2350 which is a dual band Icom mobile that I'm using that I picked up at Puyallup Swap Meet I guess about three years ago now and it works out really well. It's got some kind of problem with the finals, it only puts out 8 watts but it seems to do really well with that 8 watts. So, anyway about this, what I got, Dean got the IC 2200, I got an IC 2100 for my friend, asked if they wanted to set up a radio as a base station and they said yeah, ok fine. So I bought that. Hey Dean, maybe we can have a simplex contact after the net here and we can try out our radios on each other. I only live a couple miles from Dean, maybe even less. I can pick him up on the input no problem. So let's see what else is going on. I would have just hung around some more. I probably would have gone over to Kenwood Camera there, but I had an appointment to get new tires put on my car, two new front tires, which they kind of badly needed because I was down to the wear bars. One tire has had a slow leak for like a long time. I have to pump it up some about twice a week and that was of course more worn than the other front tire because it would be low on air a little bit and it was definitely getting down to the wear bars. When I was driving the other day I was experiencing some hydroplaning on the freeway which is not desirable so now I've got these new tires so I researched and researched tires and I ended up getting the exact same model that some Mitchells that were well rated all season because who knows, it might even snow here this year. We will find out. Anyway, let's see, there was something else clever I was going to say, I don't remember, so I will just turn it back and thank you for the net, and it was a pleasure sitting in for you last week, by the way. I'm kind of enjoying the net sub thing. TI7-ZEI. Net subbing, it's an honorable tradition. Thank you so much for doing it. The nettles go away sometimes. Well, congratulations I'm just sitting here working on my computer at all. Jack is helping me catch the call sign and my computer just died. There's notes on my phone but it's kind of funny because today at about 3 o'clock I got delivery on a new Windows 11 computer and I was setting it up this afternoon and apparently my old Windows 10 computer, I do have the extended updates, my old Windows 10 computer has now died twice since the new arrival has come. I guess it's likely you're a four year old boy and you get a baby sister, you don't get much attention. So I think computers are a little like people, apparently.
