It's quite warm. And let's see, it's Thursday. I've got softball tonight at 6 o'clock. So this is the early game. I will be in Redmond after I'm in Woodville. And on my way home I will drive right, no I'm not at that field. Never mind. There's a field that I play at that's in Redmond that I sometimes end up like, it's right next to my customer. Sometimes I end up there Thursday, come home and then go right back there. But no, it's actually at a different place.

I've got some fun stuff going on this weekend. I'm not sure Megan's invention did yet. But I'll wait and see. I'll wait and see what she has to say.

Climbing trees, if you don't know. Yeah, Underwriters Laboratories. Man, that's over 100 years old. They're, I think, the first major city organization, you know, developing standards and so forth. You know, things like making sure when you plug in your 110 volt device into a 240 volt outlet that it won't go up in flames. You can't stick your fingers into any opening. It's going to cause you to get electrocuted or finger chopped off, what have you. Primarily, you know, electrical standards. There's some other areas that they get into. They are internationally recognized. Depending on the country, some places will allow devices that have UL, you know, certification. That's all they need to get into the country. There's also other regulatory standards such as CE, TUV. When England departed from the European Union, they established their own BIS. And a lot of these are kind of like the BS, where it's just an opportunity for the countries to, you know, require a standard. Then you've got to go through a big testing process and pay them a lot of money. So it's kind of a revenue grab also. Products that we sell are acceptable anywhere in the world. We've got like ten different regulatory agency stickers on there. And it costs money to do all that testing. It's not inexpensive. Well, I arrived in Seoul, South Korea. I left Tuesday night, got here Wednesday, you know, one day difference. 11 and a half hour flight wasn't too bad. Got some good sleep actually on the flight. A little bit of food, although airline food is not what it was 30 years ago for sure. I'm in a pretty nice little business hotel. It's an hour from the airport on bus. And then the factory is another like 20, 25 minutes away by bus. It is our point in South Korea that allows us to do assembly, calibration, testing, and shipment to customers in the US that are starting to say, hey, we don't want to be getting stuff from China anymore. So it's a work around. It's not easy or convenient. It doesn't save anybody any money. But that's the fact of the life. I've got a major customer, a major customer from the US that I know I've talked about a lot before, is coming for a visit today. And I've almost used up my time. I'll be giving a big presentation, very technical for a new project. And that's kind of fun. I'm having it. And then I will be back Saturday evening.

Kami here, KJ7RAB. So nice to hear so many friends all in one place to steal your saying there. Today is my Friday so I'm pretty excited about that. Looking forward to a nice long 3-day weekend. I have pretty much every Friday off except for one until the end of September. And then I have a full week off kind of in the middle of September. Today is Robert's company picnic or something like that. He came home the night before last and said, oh we're having this company picnic I need to bring something. And I'm like okay. We did have a little bit of lead time. And then yesterday he messaged and said hey if you get a chance can you go pick something up at the store. I think he was, his vision was for me to pick up something that I could bring home and he could put in the smoker like some sort of pie or cobbler. Or his vision was minimal effort for maximum output. Right? Like can I just put this in the smoker and it will come out and magically taste amazing. But they didn't have anything like that. You know our shopping options here in Arlington are pretty limited. And so I spent a lot of time milling around in the store kind of looking at things. What can I get? What should I get him? I tried calling him and he did the little I can't talk right now thing on the phone. So you know I'm pacing around and milling around. And finally the person at the bakery said you've come back a couple of times. Can I help you with something? And I kind of explained the situation. And he didn't offer any advice or anything. And so I went with my gut Jack. I got the most beautiful prettiest pink cake for Robert to take. And so you know he works in this big shop with all of these you know gnarly burly shop people that work on dirty vehicles. And he comes home just covered in dirt. And so I got him this really pretty fancy pink cake with frilly frosting on it to take to the barbecue or picnic or whatever it is today. I'm looking forward to see how they like it. And I'm sure that they will because I'm sure it tastes good too. Thanks for hosting Jack. Thanks for getting me in. It looks like my timer is counting down so I'll say KJ7RAB back to you."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-21T12:37:28+00:00","id":21093,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":21092,"text":" All right, well I hope the frilly cake As a hit for some reason you know what I was thinking I was hoping you were gonna walk around the store And they would magically have one of the most amazing dishes ever spanakopita the spinach pie would be Do you like spanakopita?

I couldn't think of anything clever for him to write on the cake because he offered to write something on the cake, but I wasn't feeling clever or creative in the moment, so I just left it blank.

I fired the tractor today and we had a big chain link fence put around our yard out here and not the whole yard but we had about 440 feet of chain link fence put up for Molly the dog and there were a couple of low spots so my neighbor said I could borrow a couple of scoops out of his big dirt pile that he has on the side of his property. Borrow. Use. Yes Pam says it wasn't borrowing. Yes I was using to fill in some low spots so I got all that done and then we're going to the Priest River Animal Shelter. It looks like they have a dog that looks exactly like Molly. I don't think we'll call her Molly too but that's what we're referencing her as right now. We're gonna go by and see we may be adding another Molly to our family now that we have a finished yard. Not sure Jack and then we're gonna take Molly one out swimming in the Pend Oreille River.

The net control station for today is C-4 and Jim. My name is Hank and my location is St. George Campground at Mears, Michigan. This is a directed net. Please address all comments and queries at this net control station. This net is sponsored by the R&D Radio Network, but all amateurs with a technician license or higher are in charge to participate. The purpose of this net is to provide a forum for amateur radio operators who share interesting recreational vehicles to exchange information as they interest as we travel the country. This net meets each Thursday evening at 8 p.m. Central Time on the Southeast Link Conference node linked to the M4 LMC Multi-Mode Network. The network includes a WD4EDP Echo Link for Peter, and a lookout mount in Georgia and several other computers in the Trasti area. We want to thank the WD4EDP and the Trasti Amateur Radio Club for the support they give us to use their network for our events. For additional information about the RV Radio Network, please visit our secure website at rvradionetwork.com. And for additional information about the Trasti Amateur Radio Club, visit their website at trastiarc.com. As I said, there are some repeaters on the network, so please keep your transmissions shorter than three minutes so we don't time out the links on the repeaters. If you have anybody out there that has, if you're using the Windows application for Echo Link, there's a convenient timer that you can set up under the Tools menu, Setup menu. There's a set of timers, one of which is a transmit timer. You can set that to, I'd say, 170 seconds. That'll give you a little bit of a spare time. It'll drop you at that point. It'll also give you a warning 10 seconds earlier than that. There's a tone and or a pop-up timer in the bottom left corner of that screen if you have your application set to wide enough mode. All right, let me reset my time before I time out."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-21T18:04:13+00:00","id":21165,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":21164,"text":" This is not a directed net, a formal traffic net, but we do take emergency or priority traffic if anybody has any such.

You guys that are on here all know that we do two passes a month longer, so we'll go into that. The same topic out of what are the applications, tools, sites do you use in your RVing? We've talked about that a couple of times before, but it's been quite a while since the last time, so things may have changed. But I use a lot of different sites. If we're going to our places we always know about, we go to every year, all I need to do is pull up Google Maps and plug it in there, pull out my Garmin and plug it into there. If we're going to a place unusual, I'll pull up RV Parkview and look at the route on RV Parkview and look for campgrounds along the route that look promising. We've got a couple of green docking sites, first choice. And just plain old campgrounds is my second choice. We don't really think fancy, we don't really need boutiques or anything like that. And for other information, I guess I go to the IRV too quite often. I go to FRVA sometimes. I'm just looking for the kind of stuff that may be. We've got Ramblin' Fishers, we do that event every year, end of April, beginning of May. And I'm on the staff for that, so I do stay up with their website. We are actually open, that event is now open to all powered motorhomes. All powered RVs I should say. It used to be just measles, but it's any kind of powered motorhome now. So it's all about maintaining your equipment, what kind of equipment you've got in there, the dealers are there, the vendors are there, service people are there. It's a big event. We also, I still stay in touch with the American coach people. It's a bio-American coach is what I've got. So I stay in touch with them, I keep in touch with their blog. They've got actually the group style site. The Ramblin' Pushers event and session also has a group style site. So I get all the information from those places as well. Alright, let's jump over to Ron. Ron, where do you get your RV information? What kind of apps and sites do you use? K4HM. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7. Good evening Hank, and thanks for my turn and doing the net. We really haven't done that much. We usually just end up using the campgrounds website to make reservations as far as finding places to go. I think I've looked at one app once, I don't remember what it was though. But we ended up not using it. We did install one a few years ago and we just never ended up using it. I think we'd be more likely to if we did more trips where we didn't really plan it all out and we're looking for a place to go down the road. And we haven't done that before and still didn't really, I don't remember really using an app then either. We just did general Google searches to find places and that seemed to work.

Those other sites are all good sites for maintenance information. Whatever kind of coach you have, whatever kind of RV you have, even if it's not a coach, you're going to have a manufacturer's website. It may or may not be of help. But most of them, you'll have an owner's association, and their website is usually going to have to help out. And those are the sites that you really find people that same equipment you got and worked on it and make it better. They're the ones that can be of help to you.

He's added a lot of features to it now. The one downside to it is he's now charging if you want to do more than just a couple of sites or a couple of trips. I used to have a half a dozen trips stored there that were used quite frequently. I had to add them as needed. He's just a one-time shop, I believe.

Thanks for the welcome Hank. We are a family of four and we travel in a not full time, just part time travel for vacations and what not in a Winnebago View. It's a 25 foot motor home. And we're based out of Rochester, Minnesota so we mostly travel around the area. Sometimes up to Canada last year, up to Sleeping Giant Provincial State Park. But a lot of times going to visit family in Iowa and Wisconsin and stuff like that. We plan to go out west towards Yellowstone and stuff like that, but we haven't quite made it yet because my wife works and I still kind of do some work. So vacations are hard to come by to take really long trips. As far as what we use for information, it's mostly we prefer to stay in state parks just so that we're not kind of crammed in like sardines at KOAs and what not. So it's usually the Minnesota or Wisconsin or Iowa DNR sites is where we get our information from. But like everybody else, it's been hard to get sites, especially on shorter notice. I got a recently got a email from a company, I think it's just spam, from a company called RV.com. It's spelled A-R-V-I-E.com. So Alpha Romeo Victor India Echo.com. And what they offer is a scan so as people cancel their stuff, cancel their reservations, you can automatically book them and it just notifies you for the dates that you have.

But anyway, that's Calvin and he uses that quite a bit. But places he goes are very popular. He goes to a lot of football games and things like that, college football games, and a lot of times you have a hard time finding some place where they have big games. So he uses an O for that. He talks about it a number of times. I've never tried it myself. But anyway, thanks for being with us and welcome to the group. But check out our website, ROVradioNetwork.com, if you haven't already. I don't know if you found that on the net, Walter, or how you stumbled into this, but glad to have you here. Chuck, come back about again next week. We have had up in the 20s, 25 members checking in, or check-ins, rather, they're not all members, checking in after this. But this time of year, it kind of dwindles down and we've only got about half of that tonight. So it's a little bit different tonight. I didn't run the net the way I usually do because we're slow getting check-ins. Usually we always use net locker and we usually do a second round through the net, just going right straight down the list on net locker, one person handing it off to the next without a net control. But we didn't have enough people to actually fool with that tonight, so I just stayed on for the whole time. So anyway, like I said, glad to have you with us. Have you got anything else? Pay for H.M.

And Rocky was wandering around there eating the peanuts. And so he was pretty happy. He didn't come up to the window and look in at me like, hey, where they at? But there's another female squirrel that's come around. And she just looks different than the others. And I'm kind of wondering if maybe she's pretty late in the season for having baby squirrels. But she looks like she's got milk in her neck. I can see them along underneath her, different nipples and that, so I don't know. Interesting. There might be some little squirrels around here, maybe in another month. But it's kind of an odd time of year. But you never know. And it's about what I have for tonight.

That's why I remembered. Of course, I'm sitting in for Rebecca. And that's interesting. A squirrel possibly having babies really late in the season. Better get rolling, because, yeah, it's going to get cold. The nights are getting cold. Even Kathy and my wife was mentioning it today as we got in. It's getting cold. And I noticed the first tree starting to turn. It's always the ones that are the weakest, right? Maybe they don't get enough water or something. They turn the first, and leaves are starting to fall. So, yeah, hopefully that squirrel will get her act together. And let's see here. Dodgers played one. Excellent, excellent. I have a comment on Kari's 58 and the solar weather. I brought up my solar terrestrial data thing, and it shows the geomagnetic is unsettled. That means something is going on. It shows everything is fair. The only is 20 and 30 meters. It says good, which is weird, because I've never found the correlation between band conditions and that portion of the display. But when they say it's unsettled or bad or maximum storm, yeah, I see the radio waves go away. But, at any rate, thanks for stopping by, Jeff. And, yes, we're almost to the weekend. I'll see you on Saturday, probably. All right, next up. Oh, that was an I.O. So the next up, let's go back up to Ann. And Jim was asking you about your microphone for your harps. And you're set up because he used to be an audio engineer.

This is ka983 So to answer your question, I am completely unsophisticated so my first harp recording I did with a zoom which had Attached to it an audio technica stereo microphone and for the life of me. I can't remember the darn 80 80 something It's it's it's it's essentially two condenser microphones put into a single Mic head and Unlike the stereo microphones on the current recorder. I'm using it It didn't have they weren't arranged in an XY pattern. They were simply side by each other The recorder I'm currently using and and where I recorded my last harp album is a zoom h6 which has a module on it that consists of two microphones arranged in an XY pattern for the stereo and You can vary the shape of that XY pattern which makes it kind of nice for harps So the trick the trick of recording harps is to do it in a way where you can't hear finger noise and where the 200 or the Harps a lot of harps have a kind of notch at about 200 Hertz talking to 250 300 Hertz right around middle C and that thing will ring like a son of a gun and It is sometimes possible if you might get just exactly right to Make it so you don't have to EQ out that Not or that peak there And what I typically will do is I'll just sit and listen to the playback on everything I can till I get a mic placement I like and then that's what I'll use But because my harp only has 25 strings. It's very small. It's a lap harp.

Because it's a lap harp, it's pretty straightforward to record. But you do have to watch, because on the smaller harps, you can get some frequency pile up. On the bigger harps, you're limited on what you can actually do in terms of notes, unless you get a concert harp, which in order to sound decent has strings that, to me, being used to folk harps feel 3 quarters dead. Joan, KX2CW is the other harper on this list. And she'll probably have a whole lot to add to this conversation. But anyway, and finally, to people who might want to know, my nine call comes from the fact that I got my license while attending college at Wheaton College, 25 miles west of Chicago. And I met my husband, whose call at the time was KB9Y, and whose call now is N7NB. I met my husband while I was at Wheaton College. So that's how that all went down. I know Chicago and its unfortunate weather fairly well. The windy city frees. Anyway, so I hope that answers all of Jim's questions. Oh, yes, and I do use a pickup. There's one of my harps that does have a pickup. And when I amplify live, I actually prefer to use a pickup because outside, that's a little easier than playing around with a mic and trying to keep it out of the wind. Anyway, and for the record, I work as a street musician. There you go. 73 and 33, and thanks, Jim, for all your interest. I usually try to get on earlier, like about 8.30 sometimes.

Remember, if you don't test your equipment, we can't hear you. I will now be returning this repeater to normal operations. This is Kirk, AlphaGolf7, Yankee Mike, signing off at 9.45 PM. Have a great evening, everyone."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-21T21:46:48+00:00","id":21281,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":21280,"text":" Super awesome Mike.

I don't know how you could even manage that, even with the right everything. You need a microscope and whatnot to fix some of those things. I did see one guy, he fixed a phone. It had dropped in the ocean. The guy took that, was using it for a while, but then it died. And he just wanted his pictures out of it. So some brilliant guy managed to get the memory module off that phone. He found a donor phone in his pile, put it in there, and got it to work. That's some serious computer magic. But no, I was looking inside of a little keyer I made back when I was in high school. And it's all these giant globular solder joints. So at any rate, I don't know.

This nut meets every morning, seven days a week, starting at 7.30 a.m. Eastern, 6.30 a.m. Central or as I like to call it, Texas time. And for everybody else around the world, it's around 11.30 Zulu. Yes I use Zulu. The Cowabunga Nut is not your normal general round table rag shoe nut. We believe people around the world should not be censored based on the topics because some people find them to be not, let's just call them taboo, politics, religion and other things. They're all topics of conversational welcome. We just ask that when discussing these, especially the more controversial issues, including the American president, Donald J. Trump, that you do so with courtesy and respect for your fellow operators' opinions. Not so much for the person you're talking about. With that said, let's get this nut started this morning. I would like to start with a few headlines. These are all picked and chosen by chat GPT. I asked it first thing this morning. One of the top headlines from around the world based on what is being viewed. So this is what it came back with. Number one, the UN has backed a monitor that has officially declared famine in the city of Gaza. With 514,000 people affected and numbers expected to climb. This is being called a manmade disaster. That's from Reuters. The markets are bracing for federal chair Powell. The U.S. markets are jittery ahead of Jerome Powell's big Jackson Hole speech. The treasury yields rising in a talk of possible September rate cuts hanging in the balance. What's Israel's next move in Gaza City? Reports suggest that Israel may be preparing a large-scale military operation. Some analysts think it's more political maneuvering than actually a full-scale assault. I guess time will tell. Starting to round it out on August 23rd, we will see a black moon. Does anybody know what a black moon is? It's the second new moon in a single month. Something that happens only once every 32 months. You won't see it with the naked eye, but it's a rare cosmic event. Anyhow, that's what popped up. The topic of the day is the last lap of summer. I know especially up north, y'all's summer is really coming to an end already. Labor Day is coming up. So that's what we're going to talk about today. We've got a few questions about what you plan to do at the end of summer and beginning of fall. We'll see where this net takes us.

I'm on the front porch talking to you all and taking part and all that stuff. However, I walked out there today and oh my goodness, was it thick like a soup with humidity. So yeah, I changed my mind. Now I'm sitting in my nice cool air conditioned bedroom because it's pretty quiet. My conditions right now is 73 degrees and 94% humidity. So yeah, that's why it's humid outside.

Like we've washed, I don't know, well me and my wife, I should definitely say my wife, probably washed about six loads of laundry in the last two or three days, you know, helping my boys get their clothes caught up and my daughter and son-in-law, they don't have a washer in their little apartment. So they come over here to wash laundry to save some money. Anyhow, it just started leaking and it's not coming out of the drain line. And so we think that something underneath is leaking inside of the washer. I haven't poured it out to look at it. I need to. I'm usually pretty good about fixing them. This washer is 15 years old. We've had it forever. It's one of the first big purchases that we made together that made us feel like an adult. So we've had it for a long time, but it's probably time to replace it also.

And now, at least the people on the net who take part and listen can say, yeah, I know somebody who is negatively affected. And that will help those who want to fight against the idea of tariffs.

He also gets to eat breakfast at school. And we get him dressed and get him all ready with mom and anyhow it's different than how I went to school.

Yesterday he came home and they told me you and I have him sing a song. I was like, I saw him, okay. And I get home, he gets home to my house after school and he always comes over and he gets a good hour or so to play Minecraft if he does good in school. And I have a Minecraft server set up probably at one fee and a hill so we both get on it and play together. Keep in mind he's a little over four years old. But anyhow, so he gets to come home yesterday and he knows how to spell the color green. G-R-E-E-N. And there's a little song to it. You want to talk about the most adorable thing. So the rest of the day while he was here, you know, anytime that we needed to use the color green we'd make him say it and then we'd ask him to spell it. And I'll tell you what, I bet that kid will know how to spell green for the rest of his life. I was just blown away. I don't remember learning how to spell or anything like that in pre-K, not even in kindergarten. But they are much more advanced than we are at that age I do believe. What do you think, D?

I mean, a lot of that was just made up to get him in trouble. At least that's the way it's viewed at from my perspective. Like the bank thing, I mean, everything I've read said he didn't hurt nobody.

I don't exactly agree with the charges brought up against him, but hey, I'm not involved, so it is what it is. I do think though that you'll see the appellate court probably change some of it. And I say that because of the issues going on, especially with the New York DA. She has a lot of her own issues dealing with now, and so I think all in all, yeah, you're right, the people in power are on a different set of rules. I mean, first off, I can just say Hillary Clinton. I mean, now she wasn't convicted, although she should have been numerous times I would think, and power trumps law. And that's just the way it is. I mean, tell me I'm wrong. I mean, there are a few instances where law trumps power, but it sure seems like most of the time if you have power, you trump the law. And that goes on either side of the aisle there. And then you brought up chicken. Man, I am a yard bird and cackleberry eating fool. I love chicken, man. And I'm like you, the older I get, the more I enjoy it. That's changed a lot in the past six months. You know, losing weight and trying to become all young and sexy again, that ain't ever going to happen. Anyhow, I like my chicken a lot like yours, like you just explained. I loved spatchcock of chicken, and I would real up it salt, pepper, a little bit of garlic. I may even layer a few slices of onions underneath the chin. And then I'll put a little bit of lemon juice and I'll bake it. I do it a little lower and slower because I like it to be a little tender. And man, it is so good. I could eat a chicken like that with nothing else. And good advice on tuna melts. Never heard of that before, but that's a great, great piece of advice.

I'm in Rupa Valley, which is on Interstate 10, excuse me, Interstate 60 and Interstate, well, I got to get my facts right, Interstate 15 and Highway 60 because Highway 60 is not an interstate, it's a state highway, but it's down in the Ontario, California area, Interstate 15, just a little bit south of that because we're just a little bit south of Interstate 10 by about five miles.

And our next load we're supposed to pick up and head up to Corinne. So looking forward to that, getting back up into the cooler areas. Sorry, just doing a couple things here in the background. Yeah, I think a lot of that stuff with the convictions in New York City, when you get a city full of people that don't like a particular person, for one reason or another it doesn't matter what the law is or what the law says, if you get someone to go after them and make up charges that sound serious, that they never go after hardly anybody else on, but they want to go after this particular person and they're going to find enough people to convict them. And I think a lot of that was the case in this case, it's like if you get the right judge and the right jury you can convict a hand sandwich in New York. So, I think a lot of that is what happened in this case. But, we'll see how it plays out and go from there. And I think a lot of people understand, you know, that.

I don't remember if it was pre or post Revolutionary War. I think it was before the war. In fact, I'm almost sure it was before the war. In New York City I believe there was a trial. It was a trial about a printer if I remember that. He printed some stuff and he was being charged with, oh my goodness, someone had to look it up and that's been so long since I've read it. He's being charged with slanderism or something like that. And anyhow, big trial, huge trial in New York City. And it really boiled down to does the, well I'll call it the state, does the state have the right to tell them what they can and can't print?

So he no longer owes him $500 million or so. And we were talking about how that's going and Gray had made the comment that power and how, I don't know how to explain it very well without making sure I'm not putting words in his mouth, basically saying how Trump was found guilty by a jury of his peers, which is absolutely true.

Good morning to the group. Hope everybody's doing OK. Move this mic a little closer. That'd probably help out a lot. Not much going on here. Got up real early this morning. Got, I was bored, so I started doing stuff with Chat GBT. There's so much stuff you can do with this thing. But I basically had it analyzed on the whole website in my Flickr account at the same time and asked it what it thinks my end goal game is. So it came back and it gave me a really good depiction of what I'm trying to do. That right word, depiction? I don't know. And it was spot on on that part. But then it says, OK, you have your stories and you have your pictures. The stories can stand alone. You could publish them without pictures and they would do just as good. But the stories are what are helping your pictures, because quite frankly, your pictures are kind of mediocre. Most definitely of amateur standing for sure. Talk about brutal honesty. So my pictures are so-so. My stories are great. You combine them together, you got something there. But you've got to become a much better photographer if that's what you want to do. Then I started analyzing each picture, the ones you could ask for landscapes and portraits and so forth like that. And I came back with what was good about them and what was bad about them. And I noticed each one, even though it's a form of candid street photography, it was expecting me to have all kinds of props available to make the picture better, the setting, the composition, so forth like that. I have this picture of a boat in the water and the sun is gleaming down on the boat, nice silhouette and everything else. And they said, oh, you should have had this and that and there's nothing like that in there unless you had a prop room in the back of the van in your truck and you could pull all this crap out and set it up in just the right position while you're waiting for that boat to stay exactly where it's at, because it's the perfect shot. You know that kind of thing? So in one way it was disappointing. Another way I found it very interesting what it came up with, let it reset."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-22T05:16:42+00:00","id":21356,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":21355,"text":" So I spent hours just analyzing my pictures, critiquing them, and telling me what I did wrong. And I've learned some stuff from it, that's good, but I am just a mediocre photographer. No better than a man with a phone camera. So I got some humor out of that. So I never claimed to be a professional, that's for sure. And then one other thing I'd like to talk about, one more reset. Is why you guys are talking about Trump and his 34 count conviction and everything else. And one of you said that they didn't like him and that's why they went after him. And that was the only reason why, more or less, if you're not liked in the town, you're going to get your butt kicked. So I looked up, under the law, the penalty that Trump was being accused of, charged, and got his phone with, is $175.10, qualifying business records in the first degree. Now, unfortunately, New York as a whole, I could not find the count. But in Manhattan alone, I'm not sure exactly what city in New York he was actually in. I know it's New York City, but there's different districts and all that kind of thing. Under $175.10, between the years of, let me see here, 2015 and 2024, there's been 435 cases of film falsifying business records under $175.10. So it's not uncommon for this to happen. So he was just an unlucky guy that got caught. So I wish there would be more info. I mean, this took, I put the question in there, it took two minutes and nine seconds and it said it was going through court records and documents and all kinds of stuff like that. And then he comes up saying, well, we don't really have much, but we know this. So, and a lot of people that got it did not get prison, which was kind of surprising. What do I say here? A lot of got, he got unconditional discharge, but there were some that did get actual prison time, some got probation, and some just got a real light slap on the hand, depending on how serious it was. But it's a common thing. It's all over the country. It's not just New York City, but 437 cases. That's how many, and he was one of them, 437 cases.

You know, our summer, the summer in the area I'm in, lasts almost all the way through September. And some of the hottest days of the year oftentimes we experience that because it's just, you know, not over. The water from the whole summer, the ocean, you know, supposed to temper the land, it's still very warm so it's actually at that time of the year it's still keeping everything hot, especially if the air is coming from over the east coast. How did I get off on that? Well, it'll be hot to go out and do a lot of stuff for Labor Day. But I'm sure there'll be some barbecues. I've been getting out once a week to a couple of different lodges and I'll take that as it comes. I'm only just up to what I'm doing this Saturday because it almost looked like it was going to be an open week. But there's pork chop dinner Saturday night that I normally wouldn't have attended that unless it was, you know, they were serving something better than that. But since it's kind of like an open week, I'm going to go ahead and do that. Because the following week, which I think might be Labor Day weekend, that's the big barbecue in Tamarack. So that's what I'll be doing. AA-4HO, run Miramar, Florida, back to Josh in net control. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven, November Quebec November. AA-4HO, KJ5, IOQ. Man, that sounds like pretty good plans. I'll be honest with you. Yeah, it's going to, like I said, meteorologically you and I are not past summer at all. At least you've got a good month and a half, two months to go, I bet you. However, Labor Day is coming and, you know, traditionally that's the end of summer. So those are good plans, I think. You know, I went to the Elks up in upstate New York where my wife's from. Her family were real big into the Elks Club. It's right after I got out of the military. I never joined it or anything, but it was pretty cool to see how that operated. I guess we have stuff like that down here in Texas to an extent, but not here, not rather that. I mean, there's no Elks Club or I forget all the rest of the names. There's other ones, too. We do have a few, like, things like Nat's Pitius. I'm not sure what that is, but we have that. And I'm sure there's some other things, too. Anyhow, good deal, good deal. Kevin, VA3, KKY.

Wow, time really flies. I'll probably attend the end of festival season on the Danforth. It's a street near me where there's all kind of big, huge celebrations and festivals all through the Rapsations of Summer, right? Like there's Greek, there's this Greek festival, there's Carabana, you know, the Jamaican festival, and they have all types of food and all kinds of things that happen all through the month, but they'll be putting a Rapsations on it on that day, so I'll probably, you know, get in on some of it just because one part of the street where they're on is close enough to me. I can just take my cane out, go walk around. And so that will probably be that. I know the CNE will be closing, the big fair that takes place here in Toronto on that last day, and they'll have the air show, and then it'll be past tense for them and they'll be ready for next year, all over again, and I might have different plans by then. Hey, listen, it's 823, and so I'm going to take on a day, probably just sit for a while and then figure out, you know, where I might go, maybe BS at the mall with a few people since I did my work already so I can just chill. So have a good day, yep, I'll get my, I'll draw my check, and I lose it within an hour, no joking. But yep, it'll be great. Nothing like getting paid.

I know that y'all move around and y'all do things in winter just like everybody else does, but I'm assuming that it's a totally different environment. Not just environmental, I mean the mindset and the preparations and maybe even a bit of depression or letdown moving from summer towards winter, knowing that you're fixing to go into some months of really cold and possibly dark times.

I mean, we came up here the year after they had 170 inches of snow, but since then, we're lucky, really lucky, if over the entire winter, we get a foot and a half. It just doesn't end, it doesn't, it's not always white. Mostly it rains, and you get a lot of ice. But Labor Day, well, all things being equal, and everybody being healthy, Monday, right off my net, we're going to drive down, we were Bangor first, and then Portsmouth, and then we're going to New York for a wedding. And I think we're going to be down there for a week, and we were just talking about accommodations, how are we going to do that, and I think we're going to go with a VRBO. But we'll be spending it down there, so I really don't know what's happening Labor Day weekend, what they've got planned, and I'm not sure which day the wedding is on, but we're going to be hanging around Les's old stomping grounds, and seeing what they've got to do there.

I'm not, you know, when I was younger and you had to get back to work and you, you know, you drove like a rape date and to get wherever you're going and then relax, relax, relax, okay, time to go home. And we do everything in one shot, but I'm not like that anymore. So we go down, get about halfway, stay in a hotel, go for a nice dinner, you know, get up the next morning refreshed and get back in the car again and try to arrive at a decent time. And we do this trip all the time, but like I said, it depends on everybody being healthy. If people aren't healthy, then we're become very, very good at suddenly changing plans and restructuring our movements. So a good question though. KJ5IRQ, this is KC2PKG. This is repeater station kilo, kilo seven. Well my mind is a bit blown. I really figured that you got a lot of snow. So I figured with you living next to the lake and not too terribly far from the coast, I figured you got a lot of like lake effect or something like that. So guess what? Although it sounds like, you know, you were the harbinger of stopping the snow, 170 inches and then you all haven't had it since. That's pretty impressive, my friend, being able to stop that much snow. New York, New York. I'm assuming it's a city and I love the city. I like to go there, visit for a short amount of time and leave. But man, when I'm there, it's fascinating. I'll tell you a quick funny story that happened to me in New York City. In 2004, I had been back from Iraq. I got back from Iraq sometime in late January or February, I don't remember exactly, 2004. And then we spent a few weeks, you know, a month or so cleaning up our weapons, putting everything away, doing some avials and stuff like that after you get back from something like that. And then you get to go and leave. And of course, you know, we got a lot of leaves saved up. We were overseas for a year, plus the time that you had before that saved up. So I had a bunch of time saved up. And we burnt a couple of weeks of it and we spent one entire week, I'm talking eight days, seven nights in Manhattan. And of course, we were young and dumb. Let's see, I would have been around 23 or 24 at the time. No, I would have been 24 or 25 at the time. Anyhow, I was a little intimidated by the subway, never, you know, coming from a little rest Texas town going to the big city. So anyhow, we get off of the train at Penn Station. My in-laws lived up in Esperance, which is closer to Albany. So we took the train from Albany down to Penn Station and got off. Man, I got all the luggage. We walked out of Penn Station. I'm feeling, you know, 10-foot tall, bulletproof, you know. And I see taxis running down the street. And man, I do what I've seen on every dang movie. I put my hand up in the air and I started raving it like a fool, yelling, Taxi, taxi! Man, sure enough, one pulls up. And I'm like, man, this is shitty. They need this stuff in my town. And just as we were fixing to put stuff into the taxi, this little bitty short dude, I mean, he was short. He didn't come up to my armpits at the time. And he was in some kind of uniform, come running up and yelling at me, putting his finger in my face. I couldn't understand a word he said and I was just about to lay into him. I mean, I was about to tear this dude up. And a cop showed up right then. Well, the little short dude called the cops. Apparently, I'm within a loading area of Penn Station that you can't catch a cab in. But the cop was really cool, asked me who I was, where I was from. You know, I gave him a military ID. We were taught that. And I told him, I said, get back on the rack. We're here to, you know, to have a good time. And the cop was really cool. He looks at me and smiles. He goes, you see that pole down there? And it was probably about, I don't know, 20 feet away. I'm going to take a real quick break. Yeah, he points at this pole and he goes, you see that pole down there about 20 feet away? And I was like, yes, sir. He goes, hide the cab he meets you there. That's outside the loading dock and you can't get in any trouble. Man, I almost, almost went to jail within five minutes of being in New York City. I mean, I was fixing to tear this dude up. I didn't know if he was attacking us, what he was, who he was. It's just me and my wife. Anyhow, that's my, my wife likes telling this story. She tells it a whole lot better than I do. But anyhow, that was my first entrance to New York. And then seeing the skyscrapers when you come out of Penn Station, I was just blown away. That's what happens when you come from a little bitty West Texas town, I suppose. Bill, I'm sure you've seen bigger and grander things than that. What's your Labor Day plans?

Labor Day is a pretty normal day for us. We're going to have a four day weekend, but my wife goes in for surgery on Wednesday evening, so I'll be going in to help her there. And then she goes back for surgery again on Thursday. So it's going to be kind of a recoup weekend for my wife, so I don't think we'll really be doing too much. It's not a real serious surgery, but it's just, it has to be done in two parts. Poor girl. So I, you know, I'll just lay around the house, take it easy. That's kind of a shame because I usually do something special for Labor Day, you know, power to the people. And I usually get a hat or shirt made up that I wear for that day. And I got a hat done this time, and a green hat with white lettering, and all it says is, end capitalism, three hot dogs for all. So I'll wear that on that day. But I don't know who's going to see it because I'll probably be at the house taking care of her. But yeah, yeah, that's, yeah, I've worked, I'm a little bit lucky now that when I was over the road, I almost never saw the road, or saw home, you know, for a holiday.

Even as a kid, we never celebrated it. I mean, we got it off of school. I mean, I guess that was kind of celebration. Yeah, we get it off for work, but it's not like, we don't do anything. We don't cook. I mean, I guess sometimes I cook, but it isn't because it's Labor Day. It's just because we want to cook, you know, because it's something special. But we've never, I'm sitting here looking at my wife and she's shaking her head, we've never done anything for Labor Day. It's almost like Valentine's Day to me. It's just a day that somebody said, hey, take a break. I like breaks. I will take them. No problem there. But it doesn't mean anything special to me. It's not like Christmas or I'm really looking forward to Halloween this year. So when my kids were really young, we really couldn't afford much. And we never did a whole lot of Halloween. We'd get in costumes and go for the treating, of course. But man, I tell you what, my grandson is really into it. And it seems like it's his favorite holiday so far. So we're planning on this year doing it up the front. We've gotten a few blow ups over the few years and stuff, but we're going to do it up the front and see what we can't do to have a really cool Halloween display for him. So that'll probably be the next holiday that we get excited for. So it's George telling us about his plans. That brings us to the end of this list. So it is 739 here in Texas.

I tell you, this is the most labor I've done in a long time. I've been retired for going on 30 years, and this whole idea about working and getting time off and all that is just kind of a different idea for me anymore. I remember I used to do that though a lot back when I was an engineer. Anyway, so good luck on all that, time off and everything, Labor Day.

You're gonna see some snow there. I can guarantee, well yeah, I'll be in Cleveland. I'm sure you'll see snow too. I can almost guarantee it and moving man you're right it is the most laborious thing. My brother is moving right now. He actually called me last night. He lives about three four hours away and he's been packing and trying to move for the past month and he finally finished. He said last night he said everything's packed everything's ready to go and I think if I had to move I would just leave everything.

So, let me look at my little questions here and see where we want to go now. I'll put four or five questions down. Here's a good one. This will be fun. Do you have a tradition or ritual that you do around the end of summer? What do you get prepared for? What do you look forward to? I can tell you my wife is a fall fanatic. I have to fight with her every August to make her wait to put out her fall decoration. I usually end up losing that battle and sometime around the middle of the month it starts getting put up. This year is no different. I have Hello Autumn sitting right in front of me. I'll post a picture of my wife's TV wall, I guess that's what I'll call it, put it on Discord. But she tends to usher in fall quickly. She is from upstate New York. Misses the apple picking, the corn picking, the pumpkin patches, you know, all that really cool, I call it New England or Northeastern traditions that they do up there. I got the taste of that whenever I lived up there for less than a year and it was phenomenal. Something we don't do down here in Texas. I mean, apple cider donuts, she's saying out loud. And apple cider to begin with, fresh apple cider. Man. Down here in Texas, if you go to a pumpkin patch, you're probably going to a church where they got a bunch of pumpkins sitting on cinder blocks. That's a pumpkin patch down here. We don't do apple pickings. I'm not sure there's hardly any apple trees down here. I don't know if there's any apple orchards. So yeah, it's way different down here. Down here, we look forward to football. Something I probably don't know about me is I am a recovering sports addict. I say recovering in a joking way. I love sports. I don't watch a lot of it anymore because it takes a great too much of my time. I mean, I get into sports. I like the data. I like the stories. I used to be an NFL guy through and through. I am a Dallas Cowboy fanatic. I came home, no joke, from the hospital in a Dallas Cowboy onesie. I have a Dallas Cowboy logo tattooed on my leg. I have everything Cowboy you can think of, but I don't even watch them on me anymore. You know, it's just NFL's not the same. It's not like it was. So I've kind of watched more college these days. But yeah, it's football season. Texas high school football is starting up, and that's a huge thing. If you've never paid attention to it, go watch the movie Friday Night Lights. That's Texas high school football, no joke. We'll take a real quick break. So I'll repeat the question, and we'll start up at the top of the list. Do you have a tradition or a ritual that you always do around this time of the year? I believe the end of fall. What are you looking forward to? I'm looking forward to football, cooler weather, hoodies, soups, and stews. With that, let's move up to, we're going to start with Peter again, since he's at the top of the list. V-E-1-W-I-N.

Towards the end of a transmission, you'll hear di-di-di-di-di-di, di-di-di-di-di, which is hi, hi, and then da-da-da, which is k, which means end of transmission, and then another k, which is da-da-da, which means invitation for a reply. So if that helps. Sometimes it's overused. You don't hear me using it because I try to stay away from cliches and trite expressions because when they get used too much, it's like, oh, that again. So using it sparingly is good, and it makes a point. It can be used to make a point. Yeah, I got these courses. I finished three. And there's a whole bunch of them ahead that I'm looking at. That's kind of nerdy, but so far, the hours put in to get these first three out of the way has been pretty satisfying. And I think I have an incentive to push forward on the next ones that are available for me, which is there's going to be some law and political science and the Constitution and stuff. So I'm going to go ahead and try to get those certificates. And yeah, Thanksgiving, when it cools off, that's always nice. And the holidays, to look forward to. Last holidays, they did it up in South Carolina, so I didn't go. I got the dogs. So maybe they'll be having them around here, and I'll be attending them locally.

I eliminate the humidity, but for me it's hot and hotter. Very rare we go below 40 here. And if we do, it's going to be like three days to two weeks maybe that we might have cool weather.

And that's my holiday that I really enjoy. My friend is so funny. We play 25 words. And we have to guess, we get into two teams, so we kind of have to guess some words, which is really funny. What people do to try to get you to say a word. And it's almost like charade, but more rules so to speak. And we also play Uno. Uno is my thing. I really enjoy Uno because Uno, anybody can play.

I was totally against it. This is not a man thing. It's not a Texas thing. We are not going to an ordained Broadway show. I made her walk. I felt so bad. I made her walk all the way from West 92nd Street all the way down to Battery Park. I was used to it. I was in the military. I'm a walking fool. My poor wife was not. She got blisters on her feet and I felt so bad. Anyhow, to make up for that, we went to a Broadway show. We watched the Beauty and the Beast. I was floored. Now I love Broadway because of that. Hamilton's probably one of my favorites at the moment, mainly because of the music. But yeah, so are you doing anything like that when you get to go to New York? And then if you want to, tell us what your traditions are, what your family does. I love the fact that you have a meal with your family. I think you say that every Wednesday.

And I don't know if you guys do this or not, but I play, I get a song stuck in my head and I just play it over and over and over and over. It's You'll Be Back from Hamilton. It's the song that the British king sings. And I'm trying to get him to write us a song kind of like that for the governor of Massachusetts. Because one of the great first naval battles was fought right here in Machiasport. And that was the Margaretta, which came up from Boston. It was British held. And they got their butts kicked. And the colonists did it without a boat. Imagine that. Yeah, you know that tradition. It started out because we picked up everybody. But when we left New Jersey, we just said, get in the car, we're going to... Well, not my oldest son. He was in rehab. But we got everybody else to him in the car and we drove them all up here. And then within a year, everybody had their own place to live. But it was originally a trick so that we would be coming to their house at least twice a month. And we could see whether they were vacuuming, cleaning up, whether they were treating those houses nicely and stuff like that. And then we got tired of seeing that they weren't. So now they come here and cook for us every Wednesday. And it's a good thing. I think it's related to, you know, when you go away to school or you're away from your family, we used to have a tradition of making a call every Sunday. So that's when I would call my parents.

I really do because snow is back breaking and I'm in my mid 40s now so it's not something I enjoy doing, but it's something unfortunately that needs to be done. You know, I've got two aging parents and my mom has terminal cancer and she actually just had another round of radiation and chemo, trying to extend it as long as possible, but we know where it's going to end eventually there. So when it comes to Labor Day, my dad was talking yesterday, he just bought a motor home over the summer and he was talking yesterday about getting the whole family together, myself, my brother and my sister, mom and dad, brother-in-law, nieces, and going camping like we used to years ago. And I said I'd do it, you know, just for the sake he wants to get some pictures of the family all still together and stuff and dad is not usually the most sentimental person in the world so when he gets that way I like to try to do what I can to accommodate, you know, because, you know, he's starting to realize all of our family members are not going to be here forever and, you know, he's starting to think about that.

Other than that, not really much going on here this morning man, just playing a little bit of Super Mega Baseball 4 I was thinking about doing that one on a live stream but then I was thinking to myself and people ain't going to watch me play nine innings of baseball on the computer because like I usually get tired of it halfway through so I haven't done that yet but I guess I could just lower the innings to like five or six because you can like edit every aspect of this game and it's really a lot of fun. I have fun playing it, I swear at it a lot, I'm a big lot and it's really hard to hit but it's really easy to strike out your opponent too so yeah, so it's a lot of fun man.

Good morning Josh and the group. What am I looking forward, well actually today is going to be a good day in that I have zero meetings. I met with someone, a colleague yesterday and this is the last day that the boss is out and beginning Monday I gotta start going back to the office on campus so I'm relishing today there's no and I was able to get the morning check-in meeting canceled so I have no interruptions from anybody hopefully today that means I can bang out quite a bit of work and get ready for the weekend. As for fall I'm looking forward to mostly two things cooler temps and basically it getting darker earlier now when I say that I don't mean I want it dark at three or five o'clock in the afternoon but after six o'clock six thirty I'm fine with that and but it makes it does make it harder to get up in the morning I will admit that especially if you got to go to the gym and it's dark but I've been doing so it's I get up there like 435 now and it's dark out then so if I can keep it up then get you know getting used to getting out of bed when it's still dark out and going out then I will do that. Let me pause. I would say I don't really have any traditions and for the last 15 years I get stuck going to my folks house for Thanksgiving and it's the whole damn weekend and that's usually rough but now with my mother and the situation it is I think it would just be too much for that both of them. I say that but I have a feeling they're gonna want me there and but it's just gonna be difficult I think on all of us. So I don't know that I'm going to stay the whole weekend November. I think my father would like to have some help but I don't know how much help I would be and since my mother can't really do anything and you're trying to occupy a woman with mid-stage dementia it's very difficult even when I just go for a day and stay for four or five six hours so I don't know what I would feel like having to stay for four days that would be extremely difficult I think so and I think it would just get them worked up knowing that I'm there and it breaks their routine so I'm probably not gonna go I mean I'll go for Thanksgiving Day and maybe come home after that but it's been so long since I've had a Black Friday that I didn't have to be there. Kind of be refreshing. So that's why I am very much looking forward to the fall and I actually tried to take my antenna down from the tree.

I could just throw another one up but I can't really see the branches because there's so many leaves up there and foliage that I can't find a good branch.

Of course, there's always looking forward to the holidays. I tend to like that. Just cooling down. I haven't had apple cider in a long time, Josh, and it is plentiful around here. I like apple cider but it doesn't like me because I drink it in too many, too large a quantity and the old GI tract doesn't care for that.

Yep, yep, man, I tell you, I am envious this time of year of all you folks up there, especially in the New England area. I don't know, the leaves changing and it just feels different, it hits different. You know, the cold air, when it hits, it has a sharper bite. Like Dee said earlier, it's warm or warmer or hot. I think we get a little bit colder than she does. We do see temperatures quite regularly in the wintertime and in the 30s. That's not uncommon at all. 20s and 10s are far less common, but it does happen. And we do get snow. I mean, I've seen snow, you know, four and a half deep down here. It just doesn't last very long. The ground is too warm. That's why when it snows, it doesn't usually stick. However, when it snows, especially if it snows early in the season, we can get some huge snowflakes, which is really fun. Again, they don't stick, especially that time of the year. But that's about the extent of our winter, other than ice. Now, ice is a different animal for us. Black ice is really dangerous down here. I'm sure everybody deals with it. But because we do get cold enough for it to freeze, yet we don't get the snowiness of winter most of the time, we do tend to deal with ice a lot more than I think a lot of people do. And Oklahoma. Oklahoma deals with it a lot also. Anyhow, okay, Kevin. Thanks, man. We'll come back to you next month for the 73s.

Yep, sorry about that, but there was a driver here that needed some help with his direct deposit on the computer and then needed some help learning about the training and the bonuses. He's been driving for about five years, but he's only started with Swift just about a month now. So I was going through and helping him on the computer with his monthly courses that he's going to take and some other stuff. And then we started talking about some other things. So I'm just saying, oh my goodness. But I helped him out a lot, so that was rewarding. But I didn't hear the question. It sounds like, well, I heard one question you had asked about Labor Day and celebrate Labor Day by working probably. And actually I might be getting back home right about that time trying to figure out if there's a way I can get done with my current student, maybe a little bit early and then get another student and be able to make it back to Phoenix for driver appreciation week. So they have them at all the terminals and it's supposed to be the 15th or the 19th of next month. But I always like to get back to the terminal in Phoenix because that's where I live and that way I can grab my wife and we both go down. But it's the headquarters so there's always a little more going on at that terminal. But either way, I'll be able to hit driver appreciation up in West Valley and up in Corinne. So still trying to work that out. We'll see what happens. But this morning we'll probably end up heading over to Costco once my student gets up and the store opens up so that I can grab some snacks and some other things that I wanted to get from there. But, yep, without knowing all the other questions, I can't answer them. So I will pass it back to you and we'll catch everybody on the next one.

Yeah, we will catch you again on the next go round. It's going to be 73 rounds, but if you wanted to answer the other question, it was, you know, do you have any traditions or what are you looking forward to in the fall? Simple, simple, simple. We're, my wife and I are really just waiting for the cooler weather. We're done with the hot, you know what I mean? I mean this morning, I like to sit outside, especially on Friday mornings and do the net outside. I mean, it was like 73, I think it was. I'd have to go back and load 78, something like that. The temperature wasn't all that important, but man, the humidity was like 94%. And so yeah, I'm done with that. I'm ready for the cooler. If it was like 44 degrees outside and the humidity was 97, we'd be having some rain and it'd be really nice and relaxing. So anyhow, anyhow, all right, let's see. It is 8.30. I don't know. Let's go another round and then we'll do 73s, if that sounds acceptable to everybody else. We can start off with Peter and sorry, I am looking to see what other questions or anything I have. I have some food ones that I have planned for next week. So we won't do that. So we'll just leave it open. I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what. I was walking past the TV a while ago. I'm sitting at my desk during a little bit of email work and I noticed that the FBI is currently raiding John Bolton's house. Like it's live on TV. They pulled up and it looks like a nice house. Pulled up in front of his house and they are inside looking for something. I don't know anything about it, but it's live on TV. So I thought some of you might be interested in that. Ron might be able to tell us what's going on or Gray, Gray would probably be able to tell us what's going on maybe. And then right now Trump is addressing the national guard in DC. I don't know what he's saying, but my wife looked at me a little bit and said, man, he really holds the grudges. So I'm sure it's, you know, somebody. And then later today, Lyle Mendez is going to argue for parole. His brother was denied yesterday, by the way, if he hadn't heard. And if you don't know what that's all about, you know, those Mendez brothers from back in the nineties, they had their sentence changed from life without parole to something else with a chance of parole. I don't know exactly remember. I think it's 50 to life or something like that with parole. So this was their first chance at getting out. And so one brother is not getting out and the other one finds out today, apparently. So I don't know if we can make a rag crew out of that. I don't know what we can. So let's start off with the John Bolton thing. Anybody know what's going on with that? Let's start off with Peter, V-E-1-W-I-N.

Bill actually sent me a link to it real quick too, so I skimmed that while you were talking. It's all about classified documents, I guess. I'm going to ask a question. How come we've never seen these classified documents? What, is this a third person now, fourth person that they say has classified documents that aren't stored correctly or something? I mean, geez, you would think after that, you'd be starting to see some leaked classified documents to prove that they were actually held unsecurely. I don't know. I don't know.

That's why the blanket pardons went out, to stop him from doing exactly what he's doing to Bolton right now. So that's what I really think is going on there. And if it's classified documents they're looking for, who knows if he's got them or not. I mean, he worked for Trump. He was part of his cabinet. And so he had lots of access to classified documents. And he's not a friend of Donald J. Trump at all. But I will tell you something else on a completely different subject. If you like In the Heights, and I'm sorry, if you like Hamilton, you should look at Lin Manuel Miranda's first show, In the Heights. They made a movie out of it. And the music is awesome. It really is awesome. The first time I listened to rap on Broadway, because we didn't know where we were going, but we got tickets to it. It was a long time ago, but it just blew you right out of your chair. It was so good. It was so good. But that's all I know about Bolton and check out In the Heights. That's my firm recommendation.

You're right. It was Trump. Well, maybe it was both. I don't know. I'll have to look that up. But you're right. You know, I do believe Trump's vindictive. I believe a lot of people are though. I mean, it's not just Trump selectively. However, he, he willed a pretty big stick when he was to use it. Now a lot bigger stick than, than say you or I would, if we wanted to be vindicted. So, uh, yeah, yeah, my wife is correct. And my wife, by the way, happens to be the best, the sooner people I've ever met in my life. Um, and, uh, so I tend to, to talk to a lot about people. She listens to the net quite often and, uh, not today, not usually when everybody in that control. Uh, I don't want her listening to that. She can just hear my sad, and that's it. Um, but, but, uh, yeah, she listens in and she has her opinions about y'all just like you and I do of each other, you know, it's fascinating to get her opinions, um, because she doesn't align with me. Uh, I would say she would, she, it's really weird. Some things I would say she's far more conservative than I am, but on a lot of other things like, um, um, I don't know, like migrant rights and, and I would just say the human heart factor, uh, you know, I am a lot harder than she is. I've also seen a lot harder things than she has. She reminds me to say human and she will remind me, Hey, Josh, you're not a robot. You know, you're a human and she'll remind me to think about that.

I started doing some other stuff that I was doing this morning when we got interrupted there. But yeah, no, he was, I think Bolton was Trump's ambassador to the UN, maybe, in New York. I think that's what he did, or at least part of what he did. But Bolton has been around for a while. He's been out there. But it's one of these catch 22 situations where in the past there's always been a gentleman's agreement or one side didn't go after the other on certain, I'm not sure what you would call it. But it was just things that one side didn't do to the other politically, political and personal. And when the Democrats went after Trump, they broke a lot of those taboos. And the Trump team turned around and said, well, if you're going to break the taboo, then we'll just follow your lead and we'll do it. Because the Democrats learned a long time ago that it's the process that is the punishment. They went after Mike Flynn, turned out to be totally bogus. But they destroyed his life, destroyed his finances over something that was a non-issue because they didn't like the fact that he was going to be going into Trump's administration. And they knew that he knew where a lot of the bodies lay, so they wanted to get rid of them. But the Democrats in the Senate got rid of the filibuster for judge nominations. And they were all fined doing that until they lost the presidency and they lost the Senate. And then they want to complain because the Republicans are doing it. And it's just like, if you broke it, you bought it. If you're going to take away the protections or the safeguards, you can't then turn around and complain when the other side takes advantage of that. So I see a lot of that going on.

It's like, well, what's the difference? Well, the difference was that when Joe Biden did it, he was a senator and he was a vice president. He didn't have the same protection and powers to unclassify stuff. But, you know, they wanted to, you know, make a big deal of it. So, yeah, there's just a lot of, you know, things that never were done in the past that, you know, they ended up breaking that mold and going after Trump. So Trump's turned around and just saying, fine, if you want to play that game, then, you know, here you go. You know, Trump went into the office, you know, with a net worth around $5.3 billion. And now his net worth is probably about $3.8 billion. So one of the few presidents that ever went into office and ended up with less money than what he started with. You know, most people that get into politics end up going in with no money and walking away millionaires, and it was just the opposite. So it'll be interesting to see where it all leads out. But, you know, they want to play that game, you know, then they found someone that's going to play it back, and they're finding out just how crappy it is. All right.

And yeah, you're right on a lot of what you said. You know, I can't help but think about the redistricting battle going on in Albany, Texas and California. You know, it's funny because Gavin Newsom is saying, hey, Texas is doing this, we're going to retaliate. However, California did it before. And Texas has done it before. And California has done it before. And Texas has done it before. You know, and that's the thing, it's like who started it? Well, does it really freaking matter these days? The fact of the matter is it's been going on. It's always going on. There was a Supreme Court, I've been reading a lot about this lately, the Supreme Court case back in the 60s. There's actually a couple of them if I remember that. But the Supreme Court basically declared that state legislated and the congressional districts have to be roughly equal in population. One person, one vote is the rule. So that one person, one vote. And so since that has happened, it stopped the old way of doing it, which is really worse than what it is today. But it didn't quite end gerrymandering, which is what it's called. And you're right, Trump is not scared to take the battle to him. And that's exactly what it is to him. Ron uses a lot of militaristic terms when talking about it. He's in battle or preparing. And Democrats have done that a lot historically. Also, he used the same type of vocabulary. And it's meant to have that alpha forward mentality. We are in control. And that is what I feel like Trump has been fighting for the Republican Party for. I think that the Republicans are weak, scared, and they don't know how to flat fire with fire. They're used to the conservative values, right? Turn the other cheek, so to speak. Democrats are not like that at all. In fact, they're the polar opposite, in my opinion. They don't mind raging war on a different level. They don't mind putting effort out there and kicking open the door to create change. Both sides are good. And both sides are evil. And yeah, so you're right. Trump is not scared to take it to him.

Trump isn't like that. He is the man. Which historically speaking, most presidents are. I mean, let's face the facts. You don't become a president of the United States of the free world, at least not since World War II without being the single most egotistical maniac in the world, period. I mean, I bet you, you compared their brains to psychopaths and you're going to find a lot of similarities no matter who the president is. I can't say that about Biden. I don't see that about Biden and I don't see that about Carter. Both of those two presidents were the atypical American president. Trump is another atypical American president. He is not presidential. What I mean by that, he is not the cookie cutter, stand up, talk perfectly. He is not Gavin Newsom. He is not Obama. He is not George W. He doesn't have that persona, that look, that body language. He does, however, have the egotistical maniac brain that says, I'm the guy. I'm the dang president. This is what we're doing.

They've had millions of dollars in to help the homeless and stuff, but I don't see a lot happening. It seems like they spend the money, but they don't, nothing ever happens.

Maybe that'd be a way to, the government could save money instead of spending probably a million dollars to execute somebody.

And I can pull it up as a deep report. I was testing out deep research on CPT-4-0, which did a very good job. I like CPT-4-0 better than like GPT-5, by the way. It came back with, I'm trying to remember the number, four million hungry kids in the United States. Four, now that's a ballpark number. Four million hungry kids in the United States. Surely, that's not a left or right problem, but it is. And they can't even come together to work on that. And that's why I have no respect for either political party. That's just one of many reasons, but that's a big reason. Four million hungry kids. Yes, we're giving adults sex change surgeries, and we're giving prisoners transitional gender stuff to make them feel more comfortable. Yes, while we have four million kids starving at home.

All-star notes. There is the immigration thing. And I really, I mean, has it been flawless in how their methods were? No. But, you know, when you're looking at a scope, you know, getting tens of thousands of people, is one or two going to shift in there? Yeah. So I have zero problems with that. With the way that's been handled. The fact that Doge, I love what Doge did. I didn't necessarily agree with all the things that got cut, but the fact that someone finally addressed that there was a lot of vote that needed to be cut, I'm in support of. You know, the fact that they put the kibosh on this USAID thing, which basically was funneling money to both political parties, but primarily the Democratic Party as we're seeing. You've seen, well, those in the text box, I've had no problem whatsoever with cutting funding to NPR and PBS. If those are public, let the public fund them. And those that use it can fund it. And since those are typically, you know, watched by the rich, then let them fund it. And so that's easy enough. I mean, that's a pay to play thing, you know. And sadly, I think that, you know, again, that both of those entities, public radio and television, has gone off the rails in the last decade or two. And so they've lost the support of the majority of people. I do think that the Democrats are, oops, let me pause. The Democrats are starting to panic because, you know, USAID isn't going to be, you know, sending money to these NGOs that are then funneling it back to their political parties. And so they're starting to panic on how they're going to handle things. Let's see. What else has he done? I mean, Doge was a big one for me, a big, big, big one. He's dewoked the federal government, which I think is great. The proof is going to be in the pudding in the midterms, I think. I believe the New York Times had an article in the last week or so about how the GOP has actually increased, you know, registered voters. Quite a bit. And that the Democrats are losing voters. Younger males are definitely lining up with the GOP now. So if we're looking at, you know, trying to draw the younger folks, it doesn't sound like they're getting, you know, the younger votes. So that must be deeply concerning. But again, the proof will be in the pudding in the midterms. And, you know, if the vote is overwhelming again, you know, then what happens? I think it's going to start, you're really going to see some drastic measures with regards to, you know, trying to take Trump out. And again, don't be surprised if another bullet flies. I'm surprised he was able to get away with walking the streets of DC last night without some kind of shenanigans. But yeah, that would be my answer. So back to you, Josh. KM1X, over to you."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-22T07:04:47+00:00","id":21443,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":21442,"text":" Cam 4 QBC in and out cam 4 QBC, Calabunda 73"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-22T07:06:13+00:00","id":21444,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":21443,"text":" KJ5, I.R.Q.

I didn't even sit and think about Doge this morning whenever he first brought up the question. Of course, I got the way I first did about it, but yeah, I am in agreement with Doge. I think they've done a good as job as they could have considering what they had to work with to start off with, meaning every startup has their issues. That's just how it is, right? I mean, you don't start a company and not have issues, and that's basically a company. Every department in the United States government is basically a micro-company. It's not even a micro-company. They are huge companies in comparison to most small businesses, but they're ran like a company. I mean, that's just how it's ran, and yeah, there's way too much fat going on being just our tax money. The guys that can help us are tax money. People don't think about it because they don't see it anymore. If you had to go down and pay somebody every quarter the amount of taxes you owe the government, you would care a lot more about where your tax money goes. I guarantee it, but because you don't see it, it automatically comes out of your paycheck. Nobody thinks about their tax money really. It's like, yeah, tax money. It comes out. It's government's money. It's not. It's your money, and it's your money that they're taking fairly or not. They're taking it. So think about it. If you had to go down and write them a check, go down and swap your debit card or pay them cash every quarter for your portion of your taxes, would you care a lot more about where they go? I think you would, but that's just my thoughts. All right. Well, that was KM1X that we've heard, and that brings us to the bottom of this list, so I'm going to ask one more time.

Yeah, that's one thing. The other thing and most recently is and if I'm right about this, it was a real genius move by Trump was, you know, Jasmine Crockett is no longer in the House of Representatives, they got rid of her and I know they picked up five seats, you know, and I'm wondering which came first, the chicken or the egg, whether they wanted to pick up the five seats or they just wanted to get rid of Jasmine Crockett and found a way and then saw that they could pick up five seats also. So that's what I have to answer this question today and boy, is she a real loudmouth. Though I have to give her credit in some aspect, you know, how she got elected and, you know, she got her district and her district was mostly poor inner city people and it's like she really played the role of, you know, a representative for them but that's as far as I'm willing to go with that. She was really out of line and a big pain in the rear end to everybody, even the people that are supposed to be her closest colleagues, they aren't too happy with her either.

Don't forget about In the Heights, I guarantee if you like Hamilton you'll love In the Heights. And you can watch it as a movie, that's really a fun thing. You know Trump has a lot of good ideas, or his advisors have a lot of good ideas, but I've yet to see one executed on it in a manner that wasn't, if not downright objectionable, it was klutzy. I'm just kidding, badly aimed. Like you should Google, how much money did Doge actually save? And it's true, things like USAID and food bank programs and all of this other stuff that got cut. You can't, don't have money for doing humanitarian stuff, okay don't do it. But to do it suddenly, to leave everybody hanging, and this hits us personally here, that's why I bring that up. So I don't, and they never went after the big money tanks. So you know, just savings is much lower than I bet you think it is. And it was just done in a very clumsy way. And it's not the way you downsize. You know, you get everybody's cooperation. You want to see a good example of downsizing the US government? Look at what Al Gore did when he was vice president, he ran a commission to clean up, make government more efficient, and work better and stuff like that. And their results were impressive. You know, government shrank quite a bit, and they saved a lot of money, and they streamlined a lot of processes in the government. But what do I think he did really well? Well I'd say, you know, he got shot, but he messed that up too. I just, I've been racking my brains. What did he do that was good? What did he do that was good? And you know, if you don't carry it out correctly, like immigration, you might say, well we had an immigration problem, and he's applying himself in the worst way possible. I think that's part of it. You can propose a solution, you can implement a solution, and if it's a terrible solution, that kind of takes the fire out of the idea, I think. But I'm interested to hear what people say on this subject. And you know, don't be taking me to school. It's a good thing. It's a good thing. Anyway, 73 of you guys, have a great weekend. And I'm looking forward to hearing Kevin on the net tomorrow. I don't know if we picked up somebody for Sunday yet. You know, I would ask George, I would ask Steve.

Gray, 73 is to you my friend. 73 is to you Gray. And yeah, I'm going to agree with you. I tell people all the time from a PR standpoint, Trump is an awful president. From a getting crap done standpoint, he pretty dang good. Now whether you're getting it done in the right manner or not, subject to objectivity, I cannot talk this morning. That's subject to your own perspective. I don't think there is a right or a wrong answer to that. Somebody might have done it differently, yes, but we can watch it all day long. He's at least trying to do something about it. So that's where I sat with the Doge thing. It was bad PR. Even if they saved a million dollars, well that's a million dollars less tax money being spent. Once the Doge salaries and all that stuff, the labor and all that stuff is all calculated up, I would be interested to know if we saved or lost money. If we saved it, okay, it was worth it. If we lost it, well, maybe it wasn't worth it. I don't know. But the proof is in the pudding. And I don't think you've seen the pudding being finished being made yet, so we'll have to see how that looks. And that's going to bring us to Bill, November 9th, with you. It is your turn at the mic.

That's a little bit better. My throat was coating up and it wasn't going to be long before I would be unintelligible. Although some people might say that after they hear what I say next. I think a lot, when it comes to the immigration thing, I think a lot of it was because Obama had done a lot of deportations. So when Obama did it, he had the backing of the people in the states. They weren't fighting them. They weren't saying, hey, you can't do this. We're going to stand by our, that status, whatever they call it. Sanctuary city, there you go. They weren't doing all the sanctuary city stuff. The news media wasn't going after Obama for trying to deport people. So I think a lot of the problems and headaches that we're seeing as far as deportations now are the complete turn around of the news media and the sanctuary cities and everybody just fighting Trump to the nail because they don't want him to succeed at it. Where they wanted Obama to succeed there. They don't want Trump to succeed. So I think that's what's creating a lot of these issues. A lot of these sanctuary cities, it's the federal law. These criminals, if they get arrested, they're supposed to be turned over to ICE and the cities aren't doing that. So the ICE and everybody has to go in and go after these people after the fact. And they're showing it from all the bad angles. There was an incident the other day where they got this one guy and he was crying and screaming about wanting to see his family and he was doing it in Spanish. But it turns out that he had been kicked out of the country three times, came back three times. He'd been convicted of having inappropriate sexual contact with a child under 13 years of age. But the media aren't reporting that. They're just showing the video of them going after him and trying to arrest him. So it's all the optics and the cities and states and the media are displaying all the bad optics to try to make it so it doesn't look like, let me grab one, make it look like Trump is in Iran. It's just like the Gaza stuff. Israel has shipped in more food, they've shipped in enough food to the people in Gaza to keep them healthy. And there's actually more people in Gaza with the babies being born now than it was at the beginning of the back there on October 7th. So the population of Gaza has grown, or at least the people that can claim citizenship in Gaza has grown since the so-called genocide has started. So if Israel is performing a genocide, they're doing a terrible job. They're supposed to be killing everybody off, not allowing them to grow. But the UN, they're backing the terrorists. They're holding up their shipments because the United States and Israel is not allowing their shipments to be taken over by the terrorists. The terrorists are turning around, stealing those shipments and funding their war machine by overcharging the citizens of Gaza. And it's the terrorists, the ones that are causing the starvation in Gaza, where the United States and Israel are trying to make sure that the Gaza people are fed. The UN and the rest of the world is allowing these terrorists to flourish and to steal the aid and then sell it in order to keep financing their war. So it's all about the optics, all about how the media portrays it, and all about the people that are in charge and what they want to be seen and the heck with everything else. So like I said, when you're going up against the machine, things are going to get a little bit messy before they get cleaned up. And I think it's only been eight months, seven, eight months. So there's a lot of wrecking going on. And then hopefully in the next year or two, a lot of the benefits will be seen from all that. So we'll have to wait and see. But I will say 73 because I'm about to time out again.

It's a miracle that we still have the same 55-year-old window. It hasn't blown in many times. Use my froggy voice as usual. Anyway, they can be violent, some of those winds. It's blown our horse trailer out in the middle of the street before we had to roll in the driveway. And so it can be pretty darn violent.

So I went up and I sat on the bench outside for a minute and then I thought, aha, I'll just go in. So I went in and I knocked on the door and I said, I understand you want to sign me out. And he says, well let me finish with these good people. I said, if we wait till these good people are done, and I said, they are good people. So I says, because it was the McCleeds, and I said, they are good people, so it's like this, you either sign me out now or I'll be sitting on this bench every morning and when you come out of that door, I'll be knocking yourself back right back through the door.

And so I've been making some contacts, doing some photo hunting on 10 watts. And yeah, it was a real adventure, though. I set the radio up. And so let's see, I'm having a problem with the USB. I'm doing FT8. So I'm having a problem with the USB audio input. OK, I think I fixed that. Still having a problem. Oh, it's the sampling rate. I fixed that. Then I think I'm getting some leakage in my cables. So I threw in a couple of chokes. OK, it's working. But then the radio went belly up. It went into idle mode. It's a JEGU 6100.

This morning we are in South Seattle, I can see downtown if I walk over a little bit I bet I can see the Space Needle. I'm in a dock here getting what we call live unloaded instead of just putting a trailer and taking the trailer. They take the stuff out while you wait. This is at a rag factory which is kind of cool. So they have bins and bins of rags and you never know when you need a rag until you're in the garage and you're working on something and you're like, hey I need a rag, so does that. And a really tight dock. I would say this is probably the tightest dock I think I've ever been in. The reason why is because you don't have any flooring. I'm right along Spokane Avenue or Spokane Street and their yard so to speak is right there and so you've got two lanes. And there's a lot of nice looking cars parked in here too. I don't want to smack one. So I managed to get in because I've been doing this a while but I'd hate to see a newbie try it because it was really, really tight. This morning's challenge. Anyway, we're looking forward to the weekend and probably head out to Tomy, find that cool spot in the woods and maybe even see if we can get an RF from down in Lacey and maybe take some bike rides and what have you and then after that show out in the AC and binge watch maybe Star Trek Strange New World or something. They've got the new season out so we'll probably watch that. Anyway, Ron we'll pass it back to you. Good to hear you. Always enjoy when you're running the net.

So now that we've got the VOIP systems running smooth, it's kind of extending them out a little further. I guess their footprint has gotten bigger. Let's see, two seasons? Yep. I'm seeing it right here at our house. We've got another crop of strawberries coming in believe it or not. And I enjoyed those few of them yesterday. So if you're a gardener right now it's a peak. We've got corn that's ready to be picked, some of it. The early maturing guys and then what else do we have? Tomatoes keep coming and green beans we've picked and picked and picked some more. So that's the way it is over at this house. As a matter of fact I need to go outside Ron and just do some watering. It never ends. Alright everybody have a good day.

Usually on Camano it doesn't get quite as warm as Seattle, but up here we usually end up getting knock off a couple of degrees from Seattle. And we get that up here because we're kind of about almost a half mile away from the water. And so it's just kind of a little knoll. And there's no trees or anything around, so no shade.

It was beautiful sunshine and had a great all the way up past Summit Lake at the top of White Pass there to see where all the gold miners used to trek their way up there. Here, trivia for the netsters. There is actually, if you look outside the train while you're going up the pass, you can actually see the path that was etched into the side of the mountain by thousands and thousands, actually a little over about 150,000 walked up White Pass back in the late 1890s. And the path was so trodden by all those feet searching for gold. The path is etched in the side of the mountain. You can still see it today. 125 years later it's still there.

And then I took her to the engine business. Oh my gosh, she's never, she didn't think it really existed. She bought a building but she doesn't really believe that they did it. So I finally got her in there when they were open and she got to actually meet the gal that I've known since she first started there. She's now managing that store. So that was a whole lot of fun. Got to chat with her. Bought a couple things for the J-O-B and yeah. So now we're here at the Dick's having a quick lunch. And then we got to get rid of some stuff. We got a whole back of the car packed full of give away stuff to get, take and donate. And then of course when we go to the donation place we have to look and see what they have to, we have to buy it back or buy. Hopefully we don't buy anything back. That's always my goal. But I'm pretty sure I'm giving some stuff that I already bought from them. There it is Jack. I did it on air. Anyway, I hope you have a great day. Thanks for doing what you do my friend.

Yes, I'm just excited to have a day off of work. When I was sitting downstairs drinking coffee, I could hear my chat program pinging away, and I kept thinking, why is everybody pinging me? It's Saturday. Oh, wait, it's not Saturday. It's Friday. That's why everybody's pinging me. But my out-of-office message is on. I've got somebody serving as my backup. So I didn't go up there and engage. So I was proud of myself for that. Got some domestic engineering done at home. I think I'm going to crawl under the house later on today. There's some scouting I need to do down there underneath the bathroom. I think we've got a leak in the drain for the tub, and we need to see what's going on down there. And it's my job to crawl under the house and assess that. So that's my goal for later on. And then just getting more stuff organized and put away. Robert has decreed that we need to get the office painted as well. That's been moved up on the list. I tried to brush Zeus, and he wasn't having it, so I've got some battle scars to show for that. And then at one of the little swap meet things, we picked up an entire dog grooming box of accessories. So the Mogwai is going to get a haircut this weekend, I think, as well. Thanks for hosting. Thanks for getting us in. And we'll be out here running around listening.

You know, lima's and stuff. But my plan is just to do a small batch of red bean chili with the optional eggplant. So I just bought one bag to soak. And we'll start that soaking tomorrow. I bet you bought them. Never mind. So and then since I was right, the Brown Bear car wash was right there. So I had to get a car wash. I mean I have the plan. So I got my car washed. And then just down the hill was the Yakima Valley Fruit Market. So those Firestone Peaches, they're ripe. They're just saying Jimmy come and eat us.

Mushrooms do not belong in chili. I am sorry, I don't know if there's any international convention stating that, but there should be. That is not a good thing. No, no, no. Mushrooms are fine on their own, not for me, but everybody else that's fine. You can have all the mushrooms you want, but not in chili. I do want to find out what your spice and salsa additions are for your chili. What do you put in there, and how spicy is it, you know, like one to ten? Well, there will be a half a dozen jalapenos, and then I do use the McCormick. I cheat. I'm going to use the McCormick chili package one, and then a small can of Contadina tomato paste, and there you go. That's it, pretty simple. The eggplant absorbs the spices, and it tastes great. Mushrooms, I love mushrooms. I'm sorry. It may not be a part of the official Texas chili cook-off recipe, but it's only because I love mushrooms. I do. I've got to have them.

Just interesting to see how it jobs affects a person's physical appearance if you know what they do and let's see tonight is Wes Anderson's The Phoenician at probably the same price at four and seven. Downtown Edmonds is awesome I found parking like next to straight in front of the theater for free and then of course people are all even and trying to park there I was just I think after people left early evening and I'll get in there before the evening rush and parking too probably and find good parking and for free and see a fine movie for eight bucks and of course staying away from the carbos I'm back up to 212 pounds it varies I just want to check now every month and save every week.

This is about 12 o'clock in the morning or something here.

So I'll be arriving back in Seattle. I like South Korea just fine, it seems nice. I'm not a big fan of South Korean food. And one problem I've had is they've got these little tiny, I've used chopsticks for a long time, I can get by with chopsticks, but the chopsticks they've got here, they're these little thin metal ones, like stainless steel I suppose, they're very small in diameter, they're completely round, and they are completely smooth, and it is very hard to pick up anything with your stupid chopsticks. With regular chopsticks I can pick up five or six peanuts, no problem. With this one I think it'd be lucky to pick up one peanut, but nobody has any peanuts here for me to try, and I like peanuts, one of my favorite things. Anyway, I'm surviving, I'm getting through it, we've gone to some really nice restaurants, had some really nice food, customer's happy, Tim, not a big fan of the restaurants here, just a style thing, style, personal preference, but anyway, on the way back, looking forward to be back, and talk to you all when I get there.

We've had some, not a lot, but a few issues where the customer is defining that the color temperature changes a little bit, and they don't like that. We've got the working with the supplier, we think we know what the problem is. We're suggesting several options for the panel, for the LCD module, and they're LCDs, they're not OLEDs. This one company, which is fairly new into the medical end of the display business, has a technology that uses, instead of amorphous silicon for the LCD drive transistors, they're using a metal oxide, which has some superior characteristics as far as lower current and less susceptibility to temperature. That's one of the proposals that we made to them. In any case, some of the panel suppliers are not as assured of long-term supply as others. There are several different factors, but we've given them a choice of options, and we showed them panels, and we'll be sending them prototypes for them to check out in the coming weeks.

I must emphasize. Driving lesson, I was looking at my calendar, which had my two test takes marked, but I remembered that I had a lesson a week after I reset my theory test and passed it. So yeah, I'm stuck in season there. I had a driving lesson on Tuesday and that went all right. So yeah, happy for that. And got another one now next Tuesday, which I hope will also go well.

Though it is meant to go down into the single digit, no it isn't, I'm reading the wrong position on the forecast, that was last night. Over the weekend and into next week we're looking to stick around sort of the way we have been. It's been sort of warm but not too warm, a little bit of cloud but not really much rain to come from it. There is meant to be a bit of rain coming in on Tuesday and Wednesday. That shouldn't be all too bad because here in the UK we're used to rain. Yeah now I'm starting to think about going back to school because that happens in a little while from now. That will be, let me double check my calendar once again, 3rd September that is say a little under 2 weeks from now. So looking forward to it but also not at the same time because I feel like there's going to be a bit of stress involved with going from year 12 to 13. But I hope it goes well and if I'm committing my attention to the right places then it will go well. That's about all from me I think and I know that you've got other people to get to on the list.

So you do a fantastic job too, not just for our nets of course, but lots of other nets you're on as well. I was so glad to catch that Thursday information net last night. I think it was the first time I've ever checked, isn't it? But for some reason I just thought, well, I actually had a wee look at that old scan. A dashboard that I could see was lit up and I thought, well, there's something going on there. Forgetting it was of course the last Thursday of the month and when I heard your dulcet tones there, I said, hey, I'm going to have to check in. So there we go. So good stuff there, Declan, but thanks for all you do for the hobby as well. Absolutely wonderful. And I was going to ask when you start back in school because here in Scotland they started coming back this week, on Wednesday I think it was. So yeah, all the schools are back over here. It's kind of strange because we've got primary school at the bottom of our road here and if you just kind of go out or come back home at the wrong time, it's full of all these parents with their big, big cars, their automobiles, their 4x4s, everything else, picking up or dropping off the kids and in a zone which is meant to be no drop offs and no pick ups but they're all there, clogging up the street and you have to try and get by them. Anyway, that's totally off subject and everything else but I was wondering when your school term started which is obviously a little bit later than we are here. And as far as checking in is concerned, yeah, I do try and catch you out. I do kind of change up now and again and make it a little longer or maybe a bit shorter and everything else. Actually I thought maybe today I did catch you out because when I unkeed, oh, there was a good long pause, longer than usual before I heard you but you were loud and clear and then all the others were trying to scramble underneath and behind you and oh goodness, you just kind of left them in your wake. Anyway, Declan, it's always, always a pleasure. Thanks for being there. Thanks for waving a hand to Odin. You might, well, no, he's quiet now but while you were speaking, he was snoring. He is actually lying next to me. He's sound asleep today. He's had a busy day. We're taking him to a doggy show tomorrow and we're going to enter them into a fun puppy competition so it's kind of charity events and everything else. We're looking forward to that.

Maybe he used to be, as you say maybe he used to be. And he now kind of turned to a motivational speaker and using the kind of Elvis character as a kind of hook.

I think it would be a minister, a preacher in the Scottish church. Anyway, no, I did ask him some questions. He did say he was the archbishop in Ontario. I said, I'm a cradle Episcopalian. He said, well you are. We get to talking and he was the one that said, instead of being Elvis impersonator who usually sings really well like Elvis, he said, well I don't consider myself a great singer. I'm more of a motivational speaker. So we looked him up on the web because I thought, well let's check this man out. Well he had been an Anglican priest and I think the church said if you're going to start preaching dressed as Elvis, I think they asked him to kind of leave. They said you need to take the, you know, just quit preaching dressed up like Elvis and singing like Elvis. So I think he left because of that, he said, and he opened his own church in the independent Angleton churches up there. So I guess he could open up anything he wants to and it was called Graceland. Oh I don't know what it is. But he had been. He was in Toronto, North of Ontario. He had been a real priest. He's still a real priest. He's still a real priest, right, but his own church, not connected technically with the Angleton church, but it's still called independent Angleton. So anyway, he was very nice.

So thanks for the additional info there. And that makes kind of sense. You know, if he was kind of ordained Anglican priest there. And yeah, I think if he wanted to go out on the road and do some motivational speaking, and he probably threw a few bits of Christian kind of motive and all the rest in there too, I'm sure. But if he wanted to kind of do the Elvis Priestly kind of act and the sideburns and everything else, I can see how they would say, well, you know, you have to kind of step down from the official, but you can still be associated with. So good stuff. Hey, listen, that sounds amazing. Sounds like a character I would like to meet. So maybe have a wee run in the stretch limo. Why not? But that sounds great. And yeah, of course, Graceland. Well, that's it. In Graceland, there by the grace of God, that's for sure. But good stuff. Honestly, folks, it's wonderful speaking to you. And you've got a big smile on my face, as you always do. Scott, Robbie Lee, you guys have a wonderful weekend. Please stay safe. Stay well. And we'll say 7 to 3 in the meantime to Robbie Lee and Scott. And that is, of course, the Wisconsin call sign, Kewo Yankee 4 November. Bravo. I should say I have added KI5 SSR from the aim window there, a net logger. Jeanette, how you doing? JB Fine, Texas here on the list. Good to see you there, sir. Hey, sir. Good. And I was going to say also see other people on the aim window there, like KK. Good to see you there, sir. That's what I meant to say. I was just kind of... But Jeanette, always good to see you. No problem, my friend. Okay, so after KY4NB is M5XEX. That's our friend out there in Florida. It's Woody. Woody, welcome, sir. And thanks for your patience, sir. We're having a little bit of a ride too, but it is a ride too, but Woody, you're so welcome. Happy Friday.

They said that the winds on that storm got up to 100 miles an hour. And of course they had some flooding on the East Coast, but a part of it is that we were bothered by it at all. Maybe a little rain, that's about it. Well, it's a pleasure to talk to you. Say hi to Helen for me. If she's not around, if she's around there, I'll yell at her myself. Helen Quinn Scott is all I'll say. You have a good one and we'll talk to you later on. N5, XCX, enjoy the weekend my friend. 73, and all the other numbers. See you all later. Yeah, and I'm also doing a puppy chat. Yeah, we're all on puppy patrol here, that's for sure, with our 16-week-old Labrador there with the Odin. So there we go. But Woody, it's always good to hear from you, sir. And I'm so glad that Hurricane or Storm Erin managed to pass you by. I think it was a little bit further to the east than maybe he predicted or thought it might be. So I'm glad it wasn't too bad there. And they find business on 87 Fahrenheit, 30 degrees centigrade. We had a high, I think, about 19 degrees centigrade here today. We're down to 14 degrees centigrade here at nearly 10 p.m. in the evening. But Woody, it's always a pleasure, sir. And yeah, and you've even got Helen Quinn Scott out of the oil box to wave a wee hand and say hello. So anyway, Woody, I'll throw it back to you and see if any final comments. Say thanks, CX.

Helen, great to hear you on today. And I'm not sure where I am either to tell you the truth. All I know is I'm in this cool room and I'm not coming out. That's all there is to it. Sometimes on a Friday afternoon I like to go sit outside at some pub. Not today. No way. It is 98 degrees Fahrenheit, which is just pretty darn hot. And so anyway, I'm sitting here in my air conditioned room. Good night this morning from my shed, which is very well sheltered under the trees. But it's getting too hot out there too. So anyway, just sitting here with my laptop on my lap trying to figure out a frustrating computer. So now I'm always, always trying to figure out frustrating computer problems. And sometimes I actually believe maybe there is a purgatory after all. The one for musicians is where you have to play Stormy Monday for thousands and thousands of years. Over and over and over. And being geeks like me, you have some software problem you just can't figure out. You can do Google searches and trying to compile things from source and you never quite get there. So I kind of feel like I'm purgatory right now. But you know it could be so much worse. Anyway, I'll turn it back to you. Just catch up. Be careful.

And hey, look at that. That's some temperature. I don't think I've... Have I ever experienced a temperature like that? I don't think I have. No, I definitely haven't. Definitely haven't at 98 degrees Fahrenheit weather-wise, that's for sure. Hopefully body-wise, we've not been far off it. But no, weather-wise, really, I don't think so. Not here in Scotland. I'm sure parts of the UK might have further south and stuff, but no, it's way above my pay grade. That is way above my pay grade. Now, today was quite comfortable for me, just sitting at 19 degrees, maybe 18, 19 degrees centigrade. It's a little bit cooler than it has been for the previous few weeks. And overnight tonight, we're going to sit around about 10 to 12. And some parts of Scotland, you might have heard earlier, is maybe below 10 centigrade. And the forecast even mentioned in some of the Scottish glens, there could be some frost, a grass frost or a ground frost. We're going to what? So I think this week, the first week of this year, that we've heard the word frost on the weather forecast. So there we go. It's been a really great year for you, sir. It really is. And yeah, it sounds like you're just doing the right thing, just staying indoors. And of course, I did here earlier, and you did manage to acquire with the last weekend, some new creative beer. So honestly, Roy, I think you're totally set up there. It's hot outside. You're inside. You've got the air conditioning, you've got the fridge, and you've got a crate of wonderful, wonderful beer that you didn't even have to pay too much for. Man, I'll tell you, you've got it, sir.

We have a lot of coffee here. We have a lot of ethnic food here of all sorts from all around the world. And we have a lot of local breweries here including, you know, Blue Pubs where, you know, out in the front there's the restaurant, the pub, where you sit and eat your dinner and back in the back is these huge tanks. And yeah, those kinds of places are pretty cool. The only problem with that, in Portland at least, is that I don't know why this is, but for some reason IPAs, really bitter, hoppy, nasty, bitter beers are really popular here. And a lot of the local microbreweries make a lot of IPAs mostly. You know, I finally have given up pretending, trying to pretend to like IPAs. I did my best for a long time and finally I said, you know, it's never going to happen. I'm never going to really enjoy this beer. It's something else instead. But seriously, you know, this beer that I got, it's a wheat beer, a hefeweizen kind of beer. And, you know, unfiltered, you know, it's kind of, I think of it as kind of like light Guinness. My favorite beer is Guinness, you know, which is a dark beer. I kind of like that old, you know, wheat beer. So, and, you know, some like, there's some wheat beers you put an orange slice in like Blue Moon, which is made in Belgium, if I remember right. This one you put a lemon in it or, you know, a lemon slice in it. And, oh, that's just wonderful. You know, on a hot day and good frosty cold beer with a slice of lemon on top. Yeah.

Yeah, well, a little bit warmer than I thought. Actually, I think it is warming up. I think that's the thing. Anyway, no problem at all. And yeah, I think your taste of beer and mine is kind of quite similar. I do like Guinness, that's for sure, and Murphy's is good. But yeah, I do like a good kind of dark ale or dark stout or whatever. But you may have heard me, and I think we've spoken about that on your night as well, the Alaska Morning Net, on a Friday about a Bellhaven Best being one of my best beers and is shared by others on the net as well. And Bellhaven makes a Bellhaven Black, which is their kind of competitor to the likes of Murphy's and Guinness and whatever else. And it's not too bad. Actually, it's very good. I'm just comparing it to Murphy's and Guinness. It's maybe just not quite up there, but hey, listen, it's not too far away. That's what I meant to say. I didn't mean to say it's not too bad, because it's not bad at all. Man, I'll tell you, it's a lovely, lovely dark beer as well. So goodness me. Anyway, we could talk ales and beers and all the rest for a long time there, Roy. But hey, listen, you just enjoyed there. I think you've got a whole crate to yourself in the fridge, and you're in the room, and the air con and everything else. You're just in an absolutely magical place. Anyway, Roy, I'll throw it back to you for any final comments. And hey, listen, we're coming into the autumn and winter and everything else, and the sky's going to be darker.

Bellhaven's Fest, I'm still looking for that, and Murphy's, didn't know about that one. Oh, if it's similar to Guinness, I probably like it. Anyway, yeah, this has been a week all right. Tuesday, I was up until four in the morning. Nothing worked. I was just fighting with everything all night long. I was a pretty cranky dude. And the next day as well after being up till four. And then the next night, everything just worked beautifully. You just did what it was supposed to do. Oh, it was awesome. Auto guiding was right on. And then last night, I was kind of back the other way again. I think maybe the conditions were you weren't the best or something, and that could be what was causing me so much trouble last night. Anyway, we'll probably set up tonight at least for a while and see if it goes well. If it doesn't, I'm packing and going to bed. Oh yeah, and it's hot too. So on hot days, I wanted to bring in the, even I normally leave the mount out, but it's on hot days, I even bring the mount in, you know, if it's gonna get to be a hundred degrees or so. Just because it does have electronics in it too, and we don't want it to break. So a little more setup involved, of course, when we have days like that. But you know what I mean, astronomy addict. I can't help myself. I have to. I'm sure no hams on the net can relate to that, right? We're hammering you up. Anyway, thanks for taking my checking, my friend. Great to hear you.

And you might remember we used to stay in Dunkeld most of the time. Well we married a few ghosts. Yes, but we met a few people. We arranged to meet at least one. And we met some that we didn't know knew would be there. And it was really nice to catch up. But it had been nearly three years since we were staying there for full time. And in that time of course we visited a couple of funerals and things we knew about losses. But yesterday we learned more about other friends we haven't seen for a while with quite significant just ill health and everything else that she was going on. So that's kind of sad.

I think the fleas needs to be. Honestly. What are you scratching for? So yes, you know Jeanette, as you say, we've got a puppy here. He just turned 16 weeks old and he's doing all his basic commands and everything. He's even doing the proper heel. He'll walk around and sit down on my left hand side and get a wee reward on my knee.

Has told me all about these wonderful wonderful nights that are happening in New Mexico. And I've... Oh right there's a hedgehog in the garden as well. So it's all kicking off here folks. Helen's moving out, the hedgehog's moving in. Me and Odin working a certain amount of custody. Oh goodness me. Anyway Keith thank you so much. And I know you're not a brand new check in. You checked in with Dave before. But I think it's the first time we have spoken. And Dave has told me all about these New Mexico nights. And Keith I'm going to have to try and say hello to these various connections over there. I've taken a list. So stand by. I'll be checking in. Anyway Keith welcome.

Good evening, Bram. You and I have talked three times according to my QRZ log. We have had at least three conversations here. We are not strangers. For me sometimes, I am my own stranger at times. I don't even know who I am sometimes. That is another story. Listening to you and Helen there kind of reminds me of a shortwave broadcast that I used to listen to back in the mid-70s. In radio, Hilversome Holland. That show was called His and Hers. It was a husband and wife radio show. They used to go back and forth and have all sorts of interesting, kind of a one-sided conversation with each other as people would be listening. It was really enjoyable. I have never heard one since. I need to get on this. It just reminds me of those good old days from over 50 years ago. Holy smokes, that goes way back. So, now let's get on to Odin here. As I mentioned in my little texting with you there. Checking out your QRZ page and seeing how you have updated. A little bit there. Added Odin to the mix there after a conversation I had with you about the more recent passing of your last dog there. That is always sad, but bittersweet in the fact that you got yourself a new puppy. What a precious little dog. Absolutely wonderful. We love our puppies. I have had a few... My QRZ page, which I think you have. You saw our dog Prince. He was our rescue. He is half pit and half lab, black lab. You can check out his dinner jacket that he wore one night. A good old Photoshop is a good thing to play with on occasion. It is always good to get back in and catch all these conversations. It is thoroughly enjoyable there.

Then, of course, I felt, wait a minute, I have spoken to Keith. And indeed, the first time we did speak was back on the 3rd of March, 2023. So that's been, well over two years ago, the 3rd of March, 2023 was your first check into this net. So apologies there, Keith, I really do apologize for that. And of course, how can we not forget, oh man, I'll tell you, Prince, the old Pitt there, Pitt Labrador, what a fantastic picture you have out there. And he's absolutely, well, he was absolutely gorgeous and everything else, and wonderful, wonderful, very nice picture there on your QRZ page. So yeah, there we go, Keith, I was just, because of all the information I got from Dave there, I thought, you know, Dave's bringing in all these new people from New Mexico. So I was just assuming you're a new person from New Mexico, but of course you're not. So apologies for that, Keith, great to talk to you again there, certainly is. And do you have anything else for us, sir? And again, just a reminder as well, when you're talking to me, please feel free to recheck and talk again to Dave, because he'll be taking over very, very shortly.

I will tell you what, he has become quite a celebrity. I don't know if Dave even realizes that or not. But the people here locally here in Albuquerque and the Rio Rancho area, they very much look forward to hearing Dave out there. They get so thrilled over the fact that coming across the pond as he does, it is a thrill for quite a few of us. I will tell you what Graham, I am sure if Dave could give you a little bit of information he could pass that on to you. If you were to check in on a few of our next speakers, we will probably make some people's days as well. I have a twofer for you here. I have Shirley here. She has been doing a little housework here. We have some company coming over here soon in the next couple of days here. She is kind of prepping things here. That is Stp, that is Kilo Juliet 5, Sierra, Tango, Papa. She is here.

And then reflector 55 alpha on Monday nights for the El Paso D-Star Net. And I think that one would start at one o'clock your time. I think there's a six hour time difference between you and I. So that would be about right. But we got a lot of nets and there's a whole lot more nets. And I check in with some of them. But I'll tell you what, if I were to put all these nets on my calendar, it would be so chaotic trying to look at the calendar, trying to make sense out of things. Because every day there would be something going on. Whether it's something that we have going on that's not ham radio related. Or if it's ham radio related, it just clutters up my entire calendar. So Shirley said, you know, you need to kind of clean up some space. Do you really need to remind yourself of all these? Put them on the calendar because it makes being able to look at what I need to look at really difficult trying to sort through it all. So I said, yeah, I suppose I could just sort of make a mental note out of it. But, you know, that's part of the problem I have is I don't make a very good mental note of things because then I forget. Sometimes I forget those. I do a better job at the other ones. Unfortunately you're not able to catch the simplest. But then there again, that's just how things work out. So anyway, well listen, I'm not going to hold you up here. We've been at it for a long, long time between Graham and you and me and a little bit here with Shirley here. I'm going to let you get back with it. You've probably got an awful lot of people that are being awful patient waiting their turn to get in here. So I'll go ahead and back on out of here and let you get on with it. We look always forward to hearing you out there. As you know, would be thrilled to death if they could hear some other people like Graham and others throughout the region, around the world. So, into their nets. They would just be thrilled beyond imagination. So, okay Dave, I appreciate the contact. Appreciate the Q. So as always, the best to Sue and Declan and everybody else on your neck of the woods there.

Not a whole lot else happening. I worked kind of a short day today. I've been done for a couple hours. And just wanted to get on here and say hello. I did hear Helen, Mike Mike 7 HQS, first time I've actually heard her on the net in a little while. So I don't know if Graham or Helen are still listening. I'll just say hello out there and hello to Graham. The only other thing that happened in this past week which I still can't believe it, a week ago today I used my Motorola L11 to check into this net. I use that device occasionally. It's not my regular device. But anyway, that was the last time I've seen it. I was right here at home in the house and after that I listened pretty much through until the end, turned that device off. Saturday I couldn't find it. And I've been looking ever since. And I don't know how it could still be in this house because I've spent hours searching for that thing. I don't know. A little frustrated with it. But anyway, other than that everything is good.

That was my primary phone at one time. So it's kind of like a smartphone, rugged phone with a PTT button. So it's fairly small, you know, in one regard it's pretty thin and yeah, I've looked in the shop. I've looked all over this house. I've looked in the mobile. I can't remember taking it with me Saturday morning but the only possible explanation I'm thinking of is I did take it with me when I left the house Saturday and I either flipped out of my pocket or I don't know, left it on the seat of the truck and it got taken. I don't know. I mean I hate to think that but it's strange that it was not turned on again because you know that thing runs Android so I was using, I used that Google service to find, you know, find my device is what it's called or find your device. And it shows the last time it sent its location was around 8 p.m. local time last Friday which would have been sometime after the net was over and it's never been turned back on since or if it has, it hasn't updated its location. So it's been a full week. I spent a little bit of time this afternoon looking for it again but I think it's gone. So I think I got to give up on it. I think it's gone. We'll see. Anyway, yeah, not a whole lot of what's happened. I might be taking the motorcycle on a couple day trip. It's not definite yet but I might be leaving either Tuesday or Wednesday and be doing an overnight trip this time. Last week I was just gone for one day, all day, 340 miles in one day. I think this coming week I might be doing a two-day trip. We'll see.

I know Declan lost his phone once, not too long ago, and we went to search absolutely everywhere for it. When we were looking for our new car in the showroom, that was the only place it could have been. The kind of long story short, we were in the showroom pretty late in the evening, so they were not too far from closing up. We looked at all the way that sat in all the cars in the showroom kind of thing, that kind of stuff, before we decided on what we were going to purchase. So anyway, I walked in, I went soon as they opened, I went in and I tell what happened, any chance of having a look around? Yeah, no problems at all. So we went in all the cars, one by one, looking for the phone. And what had actually happened, I found it lodged between the seat, the passenger seat, on the left hand side, and the door pillar, between the front and the rear, sort of the left hand side doors. It was lodged in there. And obviously, when it sat down, the actual phone launched itself out of the pocket and landed by there. So we got it back. But yeah, we were lucky with that one. But yeah, some strange things happened. But I hope you managed to find it when you're not looking for it, because that's what normally happens. When I give up looking for something, you know, a couple of days later, or a couple of weeks later for that matter, oh, there it is, I moved something and there it is. I've been looking for like days deliberately looking for it and not finding it. And when you're not looking for it, it just pops up. And hope that happens for you anyway there, Ray. Okay, do you have anything further before I move along there, Ray? And hope you have a great rest of your day also. N9KGC from TW8SZL. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven, November, Quebec, November. Oh, well, thanks, Dave. I'm glad you found Declan's phone. That was pretty good going back to the dealer and finding it in the car. That was really good. Yeah, I'm going to see if mine pops up somewhere. If it does, I'll let you know. If it doesn't, then I guess it was gone for good. We'll see. No, nothing else. Nothing else much. I'm going to be here for a little bit yet before I leave. So I'll give this back to you.

And we have the New Mexico YSF Reflector Net and that is on reflector US-NM505-KB0WMA. There is a lot of bridge work that's involved in it so you can actually get in multiple ways. You can get in directly to the reflector which I just announced or you can actually get into my All Star node which is 54118 or you can get in via ICLink which is my call sign dash L. I can't remember the number of it but also you can get in with my DMRID which is 319. Anyways, we have a question of the evening. We had a great conversation last Wednesday a couple of days ago which was a fun question and had some fun with that question. That's about it but it sounds good that your son has actually got his good driving out there and I still have not taken a look at your link that you sent me pertaining to the hazards, finding the hazards. But we'll go from there. But also I just want to let you know I did send you another email out there and I'm not sure if you had a chance to see it but take your time with it, whatever. And that's about all I have right now so I'll give it right back to you real quickly for some more comments.

Your echo link node number is 702314. If somebody needs the actual echo link node number as well there. So yes, I have seen it. I haven't had a chance to answer it yet, but I will be replying shortly after this Net and I'll send you the information that you require so that we can have a little play remotely there, shall we say, which I'm looking forward to. And there's a great question on the Net there on Wednesday as well. I really think hard about answering that question, but we got there. We got there and yes, so I'll be replying to that email anyway shortly. And it's very interesting about everything that you're actually doing over there as well there, Paul. Thanks for keeping me updated. And for anybody in the UK, Paul's Net is at 1 a.m. Thursday morning, early Thursday morning or 0000 UTC Thursday morning. So we're seven hours ahead of Mountain Time Net. So if anybody wants the UTC and the local time in the UK, there it is.

I don't have much else. I just want to get checked in and have a little chat with you but I got to get back at it. I'm just relaxing for a minute and we're getting some, what's the temperature out, about 90's here. It's the sun, it's broken up skies, got some blue skies but it's got clouds out there. I see the wind speed turbine thing, the weather station turning a little bit. So we got a little bit of light breeze we'll say. Just barely moving it. Other than that, it's been a good day and hopefully it's going to be another good weekend and hopefully we don't get that Arizona hot, that 120 degree bowl of soup over there hot. I'll let you get back at it but thanks for letting me get in here and I don't have anything else to chat about right now but I'll keep listening in and maybe I'll chime in if I think of anything else to talk about.

Wednesday night, everything worked beautifully Wednesday night. I got a whole bunch of data on the object I've been working on this month, NGC 6823. It's an open cluster with nebula and just gas clouds all around and stuff like that. It's kind of cool.

Just something really quick, I was listening to your conversation, very interesting. One of the things that, and I've been using the AI since Jacky came out in 20, but if I'm dealing with a particular question, or broadly they call it, and they come out with no answer or the wrong answer or whatever, I ask them what is the cutoff date of your training module. So they're using a training module, and the training module has a cutoff date. And sometimes the training module could be a year prior or two years prior. So that means if it's two years prior, there's two years that they haven't checked yet. And then the second question I ask them is if they come up with a no answer, I ask them have you searched the Internet? In other words, when you ask them a prompt, they'll only check the training module data, but they won't check the Internet. So I ask them have you checked the Internet? And the third thing I ask them, I says could you check another AI like Glonk or ChatTTP? I use Perplexity, Glonk, and ChatTTP, but they have no, at least the ones I use have no problem. So if I don't get a correct answer or get a response, I just ask them the three pieces of information. What is the cutoff date of your training module? Have you checked the Internet? And can you check Glonk or Perplexity for me? And they'll do that. And the fourth thing I do, if they give me a no answer or an answer I think is wrong, I just try to ask them. I think that's incorrect. Could you double check? And I would bet 75% of the time when I ask those questions that kind of solves the problem. Great conversation.

And so I'm sure, and I'm just assuming, that they search the web from the end of the training data or maybe before. I'm not sure. And there's another thing I ask them, like when you enter the prompts and it goes through their training data and then it searches the web, sometimes the second part of the process is called the interim process. So I always ask them, is your interim process an LLM module? And sometimes you'll come back and it's a different type of LLM module. So anyway, if that ain't confusing, I don't know what is. Back to you, Dave. Okay there, Captain Bob. I think we could have a whole net on this subject, maybe even several nets, you know, run over a few weeks. But very, very interesting stuff and thank you so much for your comments there. Okay. And I know this is a rag-chewed up, but I'm going to go and see if I can find a few more check-ins. Okay, I'm going to go back to the rocking,anked KI7PKL. Do you have any further comments on anything at all there, Roy?

In fact, there's one that comes in every Friday after five o'clock. So I do a lot of work on that. And plus, I picked up a really good book. And I haven't had a chance to read it yet. But it's dealt with AI programming. It's called Care Programming. And it's how they use AI tools for GitHub, Copilot, and ChatKTP. And I haven't read it yet. But I'm always fooling around with AI. And you made a great comment there that there should be just a channel to do that. In fact, I was thinking of doing that like on Sunday night at eight o'clock. I have a couple channels. I just post weather information. But I'll tell you, if you want to pursue that further, I certainly would be interested. Because I am on various other channels. I've spoke to people like YouTube guys. And they're really into AI. There's no common channel on Jell-O or anything to have a conversation. But there's tons of podcasts about AI that are really, really good. And obviously, there's books and websites and stuff like that. But that was a good comment. I was thinking of just having a channel to discuss AI. And even if you have two or three people, I know it would be really, really interesting. But Dave, I've got to head out.

We encourage you to press that button and tell us about yourself, your radio projects, or just about anything else, as long as it's suitable for a general audience. I'll be compiling lists of stations that would like to check in, and then I'll ask for your reports. If you'd like to check in only, just let me know that you'll be in and out, also called an I O. Please let me air report to three minutes so that I can get as many stations in as possible, and three minutes is also when the repeater times out.

Happy Friday to everyone here. Yeah, I'm just, it's been a pretty busy month, you know, with a lot of stuff going on, but actually it's been a really fun month too as far as, yeah everything's been going pretty good actually. Just been pretty busy shooting photos of trains up north and actually been playing a bit of radios as of late too actually, so been doing a little bit of simplex DXing, you know, at times actually. And then, well, I know earlier this month I was busy going into quite a bit of Mariner games as well, but right now I got a little bit of a reprieve, so I'm not going to be able to go to any games until around like mid-September and I think by that point I should be running through all of my remaining season ticket membership credits that I have left with the Mariners for this year. And we'll see if the Mariners do make it to the postseason. I might go to at least one or two postseason games, but I think that's going to be about it since I've been to quite a bit of Mariner games this season, which kind of speaks for itself as far as how fun this team is, even though it can be a little bit frustrating watching the Mariners team for those that are into baseball, especially around the, especially with the Seattle Mariners. But if you know, you know. So, yeah, anyways, and lastly, actually, I was actually chatting with a couple of my coworkers, which, out in Moses Lake, who were becoming really close friends actually, and yeah, so long story short, oh my goodness, this is pretty, it's almost coming off here, because I had my eyes up front. Yeah, anyways, yeah, I was actually chatting with a couple of my coworkers, which, you know, becoming close friends with out at Moses Lake, and because of my district being reached, ended up getting realigned, I am no longer heading out to Moses Lake anymore, so I'm pretty much stuck on the Western Washington side, which on one hand I'm going to miss working with them, but on the other hand, that also means that I don't have to take the long travel out to Moses Lake.

Which I'm sure they wouldn't mind. You know one bit. Yeah anyways other than that this weekend I might take a couple photos here and there of all the good drink stuff up north. It also kind of depends on how tolerant I'm going to be with the hot weather coming up this weekend as well so we shall see on that. But at least the good news is that the new home that I'm in has a working AEC so I am not too worried about that. So yeah anyways with the heat wave coming in you know I know a lot of other folks don't have the luxury of having a built-in AC you know or even a portable AC inside so do whatever you need to do to stay hydrated stay cool and be sure that everyone takes care of each other you know if need be.

This is KA90HV here in Seattle. So well, I went up to Edmonds today to work in the gallery and oh gosh, this is hysterical. So I have, I work for KIPP and the result of this is that I have about 10 times more $1 bills than anybody will ever really need, including the till. So when I can get rid of them, I do. And the way I do that is I'll take the $20 bill that is sitting on the left of the cash drawer and I'll take 10 ones and a 10 from my tip takings and put them in the cash drawer where they will be much more use than they will be in my tip pouch. And I have done this for four years and nobody is the wiser because all I'm doing is making change. Well, it turns out that there is a bunch of nitwits in this organization that use their own money to just make the cash drawer work and that's not the way it's done. And the accountants hate it. So I was being given a ration for it and I finally managed to explain to this lady, no, I'm making change. So that was just slightly hysterical. And then there was a person who had never heard the song Molly Malone. Now you can actually grow up in this country and not hear that song. I don't know. There are people who have it. So I got to tell the story. We did have an Irish bro. Well now look, up in Dublin there is where the girls are really pretty. There is a lady named Molly Malone. Molly Malone is a pretty Catholic girl and because she's Catholic she doesn't have much money. And I went on like this. And I got a tip for that. It was quite, and then I played the melody. It was quite humorous. The crows sang along which was not humorous and the motorcycle tackled me which is like why it's not humorous. And other than that, not a lot happening. I didn't drink my beer tonight because I had pizza and I don't have a beer right now that tastes good with the pizza. You need a pale ale or an IPA for that. I don't have any IPAs right now.

It's sort of another night where things are happening a little later than I had wanted to just cleaning up after dinner here because I tried a new recipe that even though it was pretty easy and delicious just required a bit more focus and that throws things off. So it was very good and it I saw a YouTube video for this pasta with tomato water where you take a bunch of cherry tomatoes, which by the way are two dollars a pint right now at Metropolitan Market. So if you like cherry tomatoes go get some. And you know the really good ones and you cook them you cook them down put a little water in a pot to get it started and you just basically cook them until you get all this all the moisture kind of comes on you just get the skin sort of floating around you strain it out, and then you cook some pot you kind of cook some pasta not even al dente you know pull it a couple minutes early and then transfer it over into some of this pasta water and cook it down a little in there you know cook the rest away in there, and it's such a great flavor it's really sort of umami and not too salty of course you can add a little bit of salt and this sort of I don't know very bright kind of fruity flavor, but not what you always think of as tomato-y and yeah, it's really really good and and a little basil in there and some parmesan cheese on top if you're so inclined really tasty pasta dish like and of course this is just tomato season so probably gonna try to do it once more before that goes away. I know you can get the you know the cherry tomatoes that are around better year-round from other places, but when you can get the local stuff so much better flavor not looking forward to the heat tomorrow to be honest, but what are you gonna do and yeah, just Keep on keeping on hope you're well 7 3 and 88 to you Rebecca, and you have a great night.

I'm trying to think of what he ended up doing with it. But we'll see. Maybe I will make noodles another time this weekend. That sounds really good. Sometimes there's like this therapeutic aspect to like time consuming cooking that I always like. Just the chopping and just like the step by step. Yeah, just end of your day. And yeah, I like it.

Always appreciate it. Yeah, I had the antenna net tonight and it went to about an hour and 20 minutes. Lots of good discussions with NewHams about their antennas and what they should get and how they work. It's generally a really good net. And you know, it started off a little slow, but then it just really picked up and away we went. I said a lot of NewHams had input tonight. It was great. See here, yeah it's nice and dark out there now and I think it's probably still white in Seattle. Our sunset is supposed to be at 752, so it's been getting darker earlier. Yeah, just watching some boat videos here and just kind of relaxing. Just had a banana. I've got a bunch of bananas and I've been eating them a little faster so they don't end up expiring, so to speak. But yeah, they are good. We do enjoy them. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven November, Quebec, November. Oh yeah, squirrels. Squirrel report here. I didn't have as many today. I kept waiting for Rocky to show up and he never showed up.

You know, as I'm looking at the calendar, I'm wondering, where did August go? I mean it seemed like it was the other day that was the first of August and now we're two thirds of the way through August and I'm thinking, where's the summer go to? Because, you know, Labor Day is just around the corner and the strangest thing is that I was looking at the weather today and they were saying that we're supposed to be getting a really early cold front that's going to be coming down from, they said it was some kind of cross polar connection or something. Well we were supposed to be getting some really, some, a significant front for this time of year that's supposed to actually drop temperatures, lows in the north Texas into the 60s and bring the temperatures down in southeast Texas down into the mid 80s for highs and the 70s for lows which is this terrain. And it's supposed to get here Tuesday so, just knowing those strange weather phenomena that seem to be happening more often. The good news at least is that the hurricane seemed to be staying away from here and I'm, the paths are bad, I just hope it stays that way for a while. Although I know the east coast got quite a bit of surf and high winds and rain from hurricane Aaron but it's on its way to Europe now. I'm going to go and blow things around for dinner a bit. Well my, I've got about enough lemon ice cream to get me through the weekend and then I'm not sure what I'm doing then because it's not on sale. At least hopefully it will be on sale for about another, you know, next week or the week after. But, let's see, it must be something I'm forgetting. If it is, well if I remember it I'll probably catch you on the next time. So anyway, Rebecca, I hope everything is going well with you. You're enjoying life. 73 to you, thanks for hosting that, all good numbers, KF5WYB back in it."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-22T21:38:21+00:00","id":21988,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":21987,"text":" Well, yes, I am so grateful that we have the ice cream talk going. I love that you love ice cream, that lemon ice cream. Just thinking about a tub of Blue Bell ice cream just makes me so happy. I just want to tell you, my parents used to love Millennium Crunch. I don't know if you've had that one. I feel like the last 10 years of my dad's life he had Millennium Crunch. What was the other flavor? Is it Cookies and Cream? It may have been Cookies and Cream, Mint Chocolate Chip. But, yeah, once they discovered Millennium Crunch, that was all she wrote. She would have some ice cream and she would warm up, I am telling the truth, warm up some orange juice. So, hot orange juice and ice cream. I just thought about that. That's so funny. Oh, my sweet dad. Anyway, Herb, it's always good to hear from you. I haven't heard much from hurricane season, which is great. I know there's another month or so still left, but it just doesn't seem like there's much going on, which is great. But, yeah. And, yeah, we'll have a great weekend. September, September 1st.

Music, yes, worship, music, just yeah, the joyful feeling of music and worship is wonderful. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. That's great. All right. Why can't I think of that word? It's going to bother me. Anyway, I'll add it to the list. But yeah, 33 and 73 and all the numbers, Elaine. Next on the list is Matt, who might be in Boston. You never know. KJ7WQI, what's going on? Well, Rebecca, I am indeed in Boston. My emotions are high right now. I just found out that my 91-year-old grandpa fell at the care place that he is at and broke his hip and may not have much time left. So I'm going to be calling into a supervisor in the morning when I get up to get some emergency leave to go run home and see him real quick. So that's heavy on my mind. And it's made me lose patience with people who are very frustrating to others on purpose because they have nothing going on in their life apparently. People in my line of work who purposefully cause difficulties for others. You can do that. And there are ways of doing that. But they come home from their trips to find that their car tires have been flashed or their windows have been smashed out. So you're not anonymous in this job. And people will figure out who you are and what you've been doing. So that's all I'll say on that subject. But anyway, going to be hopping on a flight back home to go see my grandpa. He turns 92 next month. So he's getting up there. It's not unexpected that he is getting older. But it's hard to think about when it starts to get close to it. So anyway, that's what's on my mind right now. And just grateful for everybody out there in the radio community and for you running the net and everybody else out there listening. So hope you all have a good night. Sorry for dampening the mood a little bit. But yeah, that's what's on my brain right now. So I'll be trying to move my rear end over to Seattle ASAP. So anyways, back to you, KJ7WQI. Bye."}]}
