They make bird feeders that have a cage around them so only the little birds can get in. The big birds can't get in. Probably the squirrel can't get in. I've also heard that they sell hot bird seed that doesn't bother the birds, but the squirrel doesn't like it.

There's no respite and an extra week because they're used to when Labor Day falls in the middle of the week. And then of course it's rounded off to the next week, right?

Well they don't get holidays in particular, so they're not really sweating. How long do you think you've been on the phone with people? Probably like 730 or 8 yesterday. Like I had got on, because Bentley asked a question, that's why I sort of slept off into answering that. I read the screen. He just wanted to know when people get on. Honestly, in between the net times, you just got to kind of get used to it. Just call whenever you want, but when I call no one answers, but Daryl did. So yeah, it was like 730, 8ish, Eastern. But yeah, so check it out anyways. People with Metro Vision don't really get holidays. You got to kind of make holidays. Say you're phoning in sick or something like that. I don't know. Oh wow, I probably gave some people some bad ideas, but they're not here. Because you guys know by now, I'm like the Toronto ambassador. And I know you Bentley over there, you're the North Bay or whatever ambassador. But ain't no Toronto people messing with Echo Link except for Kevin Kwan. I mean you can pretty much say it by name. Alright? None of the Scarborough amateurs do. And I hear that VA3NU East Coast examiner, he playing with toy trucks. So he's a little cray cray. He lost his mind. He was a good dude. He licensed tons of people in my area and around. But what happened? I don't know what happened. You got to tell me. And tell him too because I don't think he knows. I don't even think he knows he's like almost 100. But yeah, there was that one time we was lamping out on the phone. I thought it was going to be old times. He's playing with toy trucks, yo.

Good morning, everybody, this morning. I'm trying to figure out what to do here. We've got a really rainy day, which is good. We needed the rain, and I'm kind of confused. Kevin said that there's something wrong with your mind if you play with toys. I play with toys. There's nothing wrong with my mind. I've got my apprentice electric toy airplane. I can play with that, but I can't see well enough to use it anymore. I've got my Nitro truck. I play with a toy truck. It takes Nitro. You fill it with a special fuel, and I ride it around the track. Yeah, playing with toys. You've got to do something when you get older. You've got to have something to do. You can't just sit in a chair. That's the story. Anyway, hey, I've got to pull out of here. I want to be one and done. I've got to go to the bank and pay these bills that keep piling up because, well, the first of the month is right around the corner, so I'd better dodge the raindrops. I've got to walk about a mile in the rain and pay the bill. So, Josh and everybody on the net, have yourself a good day, and we'll catch you tomorrow morning. AB1AI. I will be off but listening. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7. AB1AI. And Brian, well, it was good to hear you this morning. Thank you for joining us. Paying bills, I've got to do that later today too. It's mortgage and water time. My water bill is more than my electricity bill, my gas bill, my internet bill. It's huge. This month is $398. That was not a mispronouncer. $398. We used about 7,000 gallons this month. That's because we are a community, our community is building a new Turkey Peak dam, a whole new dam. It's going to make one of our lakes. It's going to add on to our lake basically. Anyhow, it's really expensive to do and they decided to, about a year, a little over a year ago now, it's been almost two years. They raised our water rates up 146%. 146%. 146% to cover the cost of everything going on. And what's really bad is they spent like $90 million already and none of it's been on the dam. It's been on having to buy private property and roads because it's really split this community whether or not we need it or not. Water security is always important to me but golly at what cost. But have fun paying bills if you can. It's not very fun to me but it's something that has to be done. So we're going to move to VE3FBX. Bentley, I believe the mic is yours. This is VE3FBX. Good morning everybody. First thanks Kevin for the info. I'm trying to get online a little more at night when I'm at home. I'm starting a week off today. I've got a ton of stuff to get done. Hopefully going to get a chance to get the side-by-side loaded up and get out tomorrow and we'll rip out in the bush for a while. I've got a D-Star node to get up this week and an All-Star node to get up this week. It's going to be a busy, busy week. But it's not work so it's going to be fun. I'm sipping on my first coffee.

This is V01UKZ up here on the rocks. No, I'm not net manager. We don't have a net manager anymore. We got rid of that position a while back. We used to have someone that was just in charge of nets, right? All the nets. This one, all the others on the system and then he started to say, and then it was, he deserves a say in what goes on. And then he was trying to turn it into a democracy. This system never was a democracy. Bill pays the bills. I'm the system manager. That's it. At the incidents we've had going on in the past weeks, I did seek group input on those because I didn't want to be the sole bad guy. All the rest of the people I was talking to, they were going to be bad guys. You didn't know that, did you? Had anything turned out differently, I wasn't the only one making the decision. That's why I did that. But, you know, for the most part, if something needs to be done, I can get it done around here, which is good. You know, it's more difficult to do some things if you've got a seat, group input, because everyone will always have different opinions, and they'll always have different opinions. Oh, Chuck, you're a funny guy, man. But, yeah. Anyway, other than that, everything's going well up here. I got the cable to hook my Mac up to the TV or to the projection system. Happy about that one, let me tell you. That's something I've been waiting on for a while. Slow boat from China. But, it's all good now. I had to get a separate cable for it. I already run a couple of displays on my Mac, but I wanted a third, I wanted a, well, I guess a fourth, because I run two displays off the Mac. I run another display off my game capture card, so that one's just for playing games on. And now, I have another display, that's my projector, that runs off the Mac, but I needed a Type-C HDMI cable. It's Type-C on one end and HDMI on the other. It's like a cable for doing just this. Or, you could plug your phone into it and have that show up on the projector or whatever, but there's no doing that around here, because there's so many cables behind my desk. Like, you wouldn't believe how many HDMI cables alone are behind that desk. I'm thinking six HDMI cables alone. Just for all the displays and the to and from the game capture device, and oh man, and don't even mention the Type-C cables. They're everywhere.

She's like, I'm gonna crawl up behind my head on our couch and crawl up there. I don't give her enough pets. It's just like licking the back of my head. It's like sandpaper and it hurts.

I have a, it's just an M1. It's one of the first M1s that came out. Anyway, so I spent the morning listening to you guys talk and getting that thing ready to send out. You got to get rid of a bunch of stuff and get rid of memory and all that. So I erased everything. It's all ready to go. Okay, so I didn't do my Morse code fix this morning. I'm feeling a little lackluster. But I need to start listening to the Morse code I guess. I know other people hang out. So I'll just bring up one of the remote receivers and listen. Get a little bit of a fix that way. I can't do Morse code here. But maybe I could find an Echo link that does Morse code. Anyway, I'm going to work on breakfast number one now.

But what Labor Day used to mean to me was a day that I would work. And I was lucky I was in a group that they really didn't like to work off days. But I think I ended up leaving there, you know, with retirement. They were still there older than me and had been there longer and I got out a little sooner because I used to work all the off days I could.

And I'm probably going to reload Windows this weekend because I don't want to be without this application until the 9th and without a definite from, you know, something definite from Microsoft that the patch is going to come with the regular scheduled update on that day. And the reason is I don't like to wait for anybody else and I feel, you know, I'm where I am today because I don't wait. I'll do anything even if, you know, I have to dig a little deeper into my pocket because it pays off in the long run. In this case, it's not going to cost me anything, just a little bit of time.

I'll take a picture and you can, you all can look at it on Facebook and agree or disagree. But we are at the tail end of August, which is typically, you know, so much where everything dies in Texas. June, July, August, you know. And they did good. She, we did the entire garden this past spring, well I guess it was spring. And, and we added a curving feature into it and she added a lot more native plants. Very pretty native plants. And so they survived the, they tolerated the heat pretty well. And since we've gotten a little rain this week, we got some yesterday and a few days ago for about 20 minutes a piece. And it was good heavy rain. They are blooming. And they are just absolutely beautiful this morning. So that's why I usually sit out front whenever I'm on the network, you all, every morning.

So we're going to go back up to the top and start with Gray after I do check-ins. But the question will be, if humanity colonized Mars, if Ora Lace was able to colonize Mars, if Ora's humanity was smart enough to get off the Earth, land on Mars, and colonize it, should it be governed by Earth and the nations, or should it form its own independent government? So the question of the day is, if humanity colonized Mars, who should it be governed by? Earth and its nations, or should it be independently governed? I thought it would be a fun question. Not super political yet. I'm sure there will be some political innuendos thrown in there. Because I'm sure everybody wants to have it governed according to a certain rate.

So this would have been July 2nd would have been 42 But then We we were Divorced for about nine years And then we got remarried and that's this anniversary. So this is the the one that counts and That will be I think 31 for our second marriage, so 42 if you go by our first July 2nd and 31 This is repeater station kilo kilo 7 November, you just shifted the dynamic of this next Let me talk about spouses and stuff that sounds more fun than what I was gonna say Anyhow Bill so mine is a little odd to 23 years however For the first 14 we technically wasn't what some people would call biblically biblically married I really have a damn marriage certificate didn't care about that. I live in Texas, Texas Meanwhile laughs together we filed together were considered common law in Texas, which is a real law Never worried about it but we were real big in the church for a long time and That that became kind of known on us and the church. Y'all need to get a marriage license Now that's bullshit I'll flat-out tell you and anybody wants to argue theology with me we can I'm pretty good at it But we did end up getting the marriage license to appease the church body. We're not even the church body. It was a church leadership and Gosh, it was three months after that. I told my daughter Tell off down the road. I was done with them bunch of hypocrites. So not that I hate church I don't I don't I don't hate church. I don't hate church people. I just don't care for that particular one and Or the people that was involved in it. So anyhow long story short Yeah, we had three kids and been through a war and all kinds of things together before we actually got a marriage license But we counted all as one and that's just the way we do it December 7th is when we got together and funny enough It wasn't but a few months after that when they first got together that I point to Iraq So it was one of those really weird love story things. Okay, we we met on the internet Through a friend of mine my army buddy who I was staying with a living with him and his wife She was friends with my wife and she goes hey, you need to talk to this girl and I did a few weeks later She came down to visit she had just given birth to Emily my daughter and From that point on I was in love with her and the baby and 20 years later. Here we are I got her the girl or the baby. He's now an adult two grandkids with it. So it's a good thing George we're gonna send it to you man.

I don't really come into these things with a die hard way that we're going to do these. I just kind of throw questions up and if they work, they work and if they don't, we figure out something else. So the question of the day is, if humanity colonize Mars, should Mars be governed by the governments of Earth or should they be able to self-govern? So that's kind of the question I came up with because you know, I'm into short-track discovery and space and SpaceX and all that stuff and it seemed like a good question to ask.

They really do. All right, well that's going to move us to reading three FBX. Bentley, the mic is yours. I'm going to repeat the questions. We were talking about Mars, briefly, and if it was colonized, who would govern it? I'm kind of in agreement with Gray. Real quick, I'll go ahead and give a brief thought of what I think. Yeah, I think it's going to be corporate. It's going to be a joint venture between corporate and government. Probably China, United States, probably the other two countries that could do it. Anyhow, it would be a joint venture and you're right. I think for the first 50 to 100 years, it would be joint Iran from Earth managed and communicated. But humanity don't do well whenever they're drifted off like that. Look at our countries here on the same Earth. I mean, shoot, we all share the same round marble in space and we can't get along on it. What makes you think we're going to get along on two separate planetary bodies? But I do think that in 30, you know, 50 to 100 years after that, there would be some kind of a war because that's what humanity is good at. And yeah, it's just, I don't think it would end well. Anything we touch tends to weather and die when it comes to nature and things like that. So I don't have high hopes for it. Although it is really cool being a star track fanatic, I would love to experience it. So yeah, if humanity was colonized, if we were able to colonize Mars, who should run it? That's kind of the question. So the mic is yours, KJ5IOQ. This is VE3FBX. Thanks. I don't think we should, not until we get our act together down here. I don't think we have any rights or should be running out anywhere else. You know, like you said, we tend to wreck everything we touch. I think until we get our crap together here and can get along and keep things running properly, I don't think we should be moving out anywhere. If we do, I could definitely see it being corporate. I don't know some of the corporations the way they are now and the people trying. I don't think government would be involved. And I think that might make it even a little worse.

Well, I have no idea about part, I guess a bunch of humans there making colonies on a different planet. I would say that the Lord would probably have a big say in how that turns out. And since he made us all the way I look at it, and we're all sacred, but we're all given free will, so I guess that's how it all ends up. It's how the things are being said or being said by humans there. And it's all human nature, I guess I'd call it. Kind of fun to learn how it works. I'm still trying to figure it out. Anyway, okay, so everyone's talking about how they met their wife. And I met my wife on a bicycle trip in Portugal, and I retired at age 50. I decided to go travel the world. I went to the Colorado Mountain Club, and I signed up for a bicycle trip through Portugal, and there was 30 people there, and one of them was my wife-to-be. And I went looking to a guitar shop to buy a guitar so somebody could play guitar alongside my mandolin.

There is what they call an Outer Space Treaty of 1967. And you'd have to, you know, read the incidentals about that. But basically, it says that nobody can declare ownership of say, you know, we landed on the moon, we can't declare ownership. We landed on Mars the same way. And say, you know, there was a law that was broken that would have, you know, caused somebody to get in trouble where there'd be a punishment or whatever, be charged with a crime or something like that. That's already been decided too, by the international government agreement for the International Space Station. And it'll extend to that also where the jurisdiction would fall under the, whoever, the person's, if there were a national for a country. And the equipment. So I guess they're, you know, looking, they were looking pretty far ahead there. I know that there's maritime law, which doesn't, wouldn't apply because that's for the oceans. And then there's aviation law. You know, you own your property and also you have certain rights above you all the way to the, into the atmosphere, not a lot of rights it turns out, because I know somebody was suing under that because planes were flying overhead because they changed the way airplanes were landing and he sued under that. So I, let's see, also, years ago I heard that the first amateur radio contact between Earth and Mars, there was a trophy that I read about that was being held at the ARRL. And I tried to find out a little bit about it and it may be that it was so long ago they probably forgot about it and it got packed up and it's in a warehouse somewhere. So apparently there was something like that, I do distinctly remember. They probably figured, you know, well we don't want to keep this out, it's just being away for too long.

I'm sure it's humanity and, you know, the people that say, yeah, somebody has to. True, but, I mean, how do we truly know there's not life on that planet? I mean, I don't know. I think that opens up an entirely different set of litigation and laws that we as in humanity are not ready to get into because we can't, again, take care of the stuff we already have. But I was surprised to hear that, so I will have to do some reading on that. That's interesting. The other thought I had to it is, man, that was a long time ago.

That's an interesting one, Josh. Well, the way I see it, humans are humans, right? We have habits. And the habit is, our habits don't change. If Josh went to Mars, would your habits change? Or if Dee went up to Mars, would my habits change? And the answer, I believe, is no. And we have terrible habits. And not particularly you, Josh, I'm just making an example. But, you know, whoever gets there first, even though there might be laws, whoever gets there first is going to want to govern and bully people around. That's how we are. You know, I'm here first, let's do it my way. And then someone might retaliate and say, oh, no, no, no, your way is no good. So history repeats itself. We're going to try to govern. It could be Russia goes there first and they say, well, you know, you've got to listen to us, we got here first. Or USA got there first and say, no, we're here first, you've got to listen to us. So you know how it is. You know how history, you don't like the person that first got there and the other person wants to govern, then what happens? There's a little fixed fight, right? Yeah. So anyway, my thing is I have to go with the few people that in the beginning says we don't know what we're doing to the earth. We think we're trashing earth and then we want to move to another planet to trash it too. Do you know if you ever looked up our atmospheric garbage? I was shocked to see the garbage just floating around in our atmosphere. Our garbage. You know? And it's a lot. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. And I saw that years and years ago about the garbage we had going around in our atmosphere. So, you know, habits are habits and I really believe that no matter where we go, no matter if it's Venus or anywhere else, that we're going to try to govern, whoever gets there first is going to try to govern. Because, you know, first tips I guess, whatever you want to call it. Even though it's the international law, what happened to the earth's international law? Come on. If we had international law, we wouldn't have the problems we have right now, right? If it worked. If it worked. So the same thing is going to happen no matter where we go. And as for spouses. Well, you know what? I always had a habit of saving the best for last. And my husband and I are, you know, over 20 years married and we're really happy with it.

And if we were ready for it, you know, it would be commercialized, which is probably in my mind the best way to do it because the governments tend to tear everything up. And you're talking about all the space junk and debris floating around and the lower reaches of space right around our planet? Yes, it's scary. I seen a video of that a while back. There was a time lapse video that somebody made starting with Buckman 1 and then going all the way up to modern day.

Greg was mentioning his brother-in-law's boat being sold and I'm just wondering because I remember Greg telling us a story about a boat that had either been inherited not by a family but by getting a house or something and it had a unusual prop system on it and maybe not necessarily legal except for the age of it. So I was just wondering if that was the boat that they were trying to sell or if that was a different boat but we'll find out next go around. Okay, yeah, well to go to the thing that Ron had said, you know, back in the 60s they came up with an international treaty about space and about who owns or doesn't own and who can't own but you know that was back in the 60s when a whole different power brokerage was there and we had the Americans, we had the Russians, we had the Brits and then maybe some of the European countries but now with China being an up-and-coming force in the world they didn't sign on to that and I bet you they would have something to say about that. And it's going to be whoever gets there first because you know the old rule, he who, the possession is nine-tenths of the law, that was what I was trying to think, possession nine-tenths of the law and it's going to be whoever gets there first is going to be definitely in charge of what's going on there until more countries or more companies get up there and then there'll be a race to see who can create the most, the quickest in order to have the power to make the decisions so it's going to be a mess. I can kind of see where it could be, it could be a real mess but I just hop on around to at least see part of it and oops, got to grab one just a second. All right, yeah I think that's it. Well and I also agree with Gray, whoever does end up initially being in ownership of it or being in control of it after a while, you know 50, 100 years, 150 years, I think they're definitely going to break off because you get that many people being that far away from earth and being there for that long, they're going to get the independent feeling kind of like how we did here in the United States and how it is everywhere new colonies go out and they create something and they build something and then they start resenting the fact that the people on the other end of the leash are actually on the other end of the leash and they'll say yeah you guys will still be friends but we're going to go our own way so I think that's eventually what would probably happen.

Darrell, thanks for sending me the invite. I appreciate that, sir. It was all good. I was thinking pretty seriously about this colonization of Mars. And I don't know. I was kind of thinking something silly more than serious. So I think what I'd do is to colonize Mars. Forget astronauts. They're too complicated, too costly. It just takes too much to get them up there. Let's start with cats. They've got nine lives. So if they die a couple of times, they're still going to exist. So we have a better chance of colonizing Mars that way. They adapt fast. And they can quickly establish dominance on the planet. And we don't need much for them. We need maybe some self-cleaning litter domes. We've got a feed-in, so we'll just get an automatic tuna factory going up there that just puts that food out all the time. And then they're going to need some companionship, some loving, some scratching, so we could just take some Mars brick and turn them into scratching posts. And then step two of this process would be Trump steps off the landing module and immediately declares the planet it's not Mars anymore, folks. It's Trump World, the biggest, the best planet, way better than Earth, which is, quite frankly, failing. So he's got his own planet. And he's got to build some things. Let me do a reset."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-29T05:48:53+00:00","id":27094,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":27093,"text":" Yes, I am. We've got to start off with a Trump Tower, you know? A gold-plated skyscraper on the tallest volcano in the solar system? What better a king, what better place could he live than on top of a volcano in a big tower, a gold tower? And of course, you've got to have a golf course up there, Space Force One golf course, maybe, we call it that. And the sand traps could be made out of Martian craters, you know? So he doesn't have too much landscaping. And then he has to have his throne, the Supreme Leader's throne dome, which could be just a big bubble palace, you know, on top of a mountain where he can wave to the cats and the colonists alike, you know? And the government's model is really simple. Under Trump's supreme leadership, Mars would function like this. You know, it'd probably be every colonist must have a giant portrait of Trump in his living quarters. The cats can vote as well as the colonists, but their votes count as double. You know, obviously, they love him more than anything else. So I think that's fair. And any other would-be leader gets deported back to Earth unless the cats approve, which they never will. So that's kind of my idea of how we colonize the planet. The colonists themselves are basically unpaid tenants for a giant interplanetary resort. The cats, they run the real show, though. Treat Trump like a giant orange heated lamp that they can occasionally rub against. And Earth would watch in horror and confusion, but hey, at least Mars has finally been colonized by cats and ego. And that's my version of how we colonize Mars. Thank you. Katie's here. Have a good night.

And, uh, well I tell ya, we're probably jumping the gun on the whole Mars thing. I don't think that we're gonna see colonization of Mars in our lifetime. I really don't.

Granted, the other one, the last one, got into space and back. Starship, is it? Voyager is the ship on Voyager. Yeah, Starship. Most of these things have already blown up, so... We're not even into orbit with a Starship yet. You know, we're not into taking people up with it or anything like that. Now they've had Falcon 9 and stuff that have gone to the International Space Station. But that's not a Mars transport. That's just like a supply ship for Space Station. Or maybe get to the moon with it, I don't know. But, I don't think we're getting to Mars anytime soon. And if we do, I mean, let's face it. Elon is the one going there. He's gonna be the one running the show. I bet. As if he's even got balls to get aboard his own ship and go to Mars. I don't think he'll be doing it. He'll be like designating people, you know. You go up there and that way if space hits the pad, then he's not being blown with smithereens. Apparently he does high doses of ketamine. Or like, on a regular basis, micro doses ketamine or something. That was pretty crazy. I mean, that's a powerful drug. I mean, that's like a horse slash cat tranquilizer that vet's use looked into it. And, you know, taking that, I don't know how he's the genius that he is. Because he's a smart dude. Granted, he's got like loads of engineers and stuff like that working underneath him. But, I mean, he's a smart dude. I mean, he's coming up with a lot of these ideas. And putting them into place. I don't think the cyber truck was a great idea. I think it looks cool. But apparently everybody that gets them has a lot of problems with them. You know, but if you got the bucks to spend a hundred grand on a truck, then, you know, you got the bucks to deal with it when it breaks down kind of thing. You know. And I've seen a myriad of issues with these things in videos online. I've seen everything from the screen turning flashing red in traffic and the truck won't move. I've seen shutdowns where the truck was self-driving itself and it just parked itself and then wouldn't move again. I've seen charge ports not opening. I've seen problems with the mechanical tunnel cover that's on the back of it, you know, not closing or opening all the way. There's been, oh, the accelerator pedal. That was a big one.

So I'm looking at listings in Rochester and Buffalo. Place is up in upstate New York so we'll see how that goes. Prices are quite good up there and you can get a lot of house for a little money so that's what I'm working on. You got to watch your neighborhoods especially if you go to Rochester. Rochester is one of the highest crime cities in the country so you have to be careful about your neighborhoods. Buffalo is a bit better. Buffalo has some tougher neighborhoods as well. So that's that. That's what I'm working on and I'm going to feed the cats a little bit. As some of you know I lost my favorite cat. She ended up suddenly succumbing to lung cancer which I didn't know she had.

Anyway gosh Mars I don't think we have to worry too much about Mars. They might set up a small colony up there. I think it would just cost too much money to move many many people up there. I mean if they're going to spend a million dollars every time they want to send up by half a dozen people. I don't think so. I actually feel it should be unlawful to send people to Mars because I think it would be a death sentence. If anything happened up there that how would they get help. I'm not sure how long it takes a rocket to get there maybe a year I'm not sure I'm checked on that. Maybe I would be OK with them sending rockets up there and checking it out see what's there. Maybe they could send a bomb up there and plant a couple million seeds. I asked Alexa she said there's only one percent oxygen on Mars mainly carbon dioxide. Well the trees love that and they convert that to oxygen so maybe they could spread a few million seeds up there. Maybe after 25 30 years there'd be enough trees to make their own oxygen. Then it would probably be OK to colonize. I think it's kind of early for that. Anyway Mrs. Claus and I have been married 61 years going on 62.

That's going to move us back up to the top. KC2PKG, Mr. Gray. So the next question I got is kind of simple I guess. It's about your everyday carry or EDC is what I call it. Is there something you carry with you every day no matter where you're going, what you're doing, it has to be with you. Some people carry a little bag, maybe it has some extra food, a bottle of water, maybe since all of us are ham radio people, maybe you carry something similar to that that's ham radio based, like your HD or something. Do you carry that everywhere you go? What's in your pockets on your person as you go about your day? For years and years I carried either a little bag or I had a few things in my pocket just depending on what I was doing, but a flashlight, a little slim pin flashlight. I carried one of those for probably 15 years and I don't lie I got out of the habit of carrying one, but that was one of the things that I always carried, among other things depending on what season of my life I'm in. So anyhow, that's the question. Is there something that you take with you everywhere you go? Kind of inspired by Hado O'Reilly and his little teddy bear. You know he took that little teddy bear everywhere with him on MASH. So kind of a fun humorous question for the day. So Gray, we're going to pass it to you. What say you? KC3PKG, this is KJ Fab, IRL, peace."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-29T06:08:07+00:00","id":27111,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":27110,"text":" KJ5IRQ, this is KC2PKT and I'm waiting for my breakfast sandwich, which finally occurred to us yesterday that we hadn't had any since we've been here. So on a hard roll, it's going to be good. It's going to be very good. On the Mars thing, there was a show, a dramatic show, but it's pretty accurate. It's called For All Mankind and it's about a colony on Mars and the moon. So it kind of traces where the space race is going. That's a For All Mankind. I would definitely recommend it. It's good. To answer Bill's question, Bill, the boat you're talking about is the Madam and that is a 14-foot, 800-pound runabout with a 50-horsepower engine on it. The props aren't anything special. It's just way overpowered and it has a cable steering and that's illegal in Maine. If anything over 40 horsepower has to have a hydraulic steering because the cables can snap. But people make up rules about stuff. What do I carry? I just got, I carry a bag. It's really a fanny pack, but I wear it over my shoulder and cross my back and I just got a new one. I didn't know if it was going to be perfect or not, but we were in Walmart and I found it and it's a little bit bigger than my old one. It's from Ozark Trail and that is jam-packed with car keys and iPads and checkbooks and wallets and passports, pens, that kind of stuff. I tend to carry a lot of junk. In my pocket, I have a Swiss Army knife. It's like the primer version. It's big, nice big blade on it and stuff like that. I never go anywhere without that. As a matter of fact, I keep losing them at airports, so I have to go buy another one because I live with it. I never take it out of my pocket. I kind of get better at throwing it in a suitcase, that kind of stuff. As for flashlights, every jacket I own, every vest I own has a flashlight in it. So I don't really have to think about it and I have one on my belt. A little tiny one, a little tiny orange one because I live in Maine and it gets dark, really dark and there's no lighting from nearby cities and you walk out of your house at 9 o'clock at night and it's pitch black. So I have a flashlight in every jacket and every vest. Let me see, I talked about the madam. Yeah, the boat I was on yesterday is a 40-foot Bayliner. It sleeps six, has two bathrooms. It's really quite a boat. It's pretty amazing, but my brother-in-law has to sell it because he's got some kind of motor neuron disease and he cannot, you have to clamber."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-29T06:09:04+00:00","id":27112,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":27111,"text":" Uh oh, it looks like he timed out.

I don't ever carry a wallet. I don't like cash. I like digital money. Uh, on my card, uh, I don't even carry my bank cards. I've got those added to my phone, so I pay typically with my watch. Um, if that doesn't work for some reason, I just pay with my phone. Just tap the phone, way to go. Uh, my phone. That's a real important one. That goes everywhere with me. Um, now that's just my, like, daily carry. You know, if I need to have, you know, things in my pockets. Um, if I'm like going on the quad or something, now that's a different story. Oh, speaking of which, man, I don't know if I told you guys yesterday, that little SOB put me off again for another week. So I started looking for private mechanics yesterday.

The battery doesn't last long enough on it anymore really to carry it or take it out with me anyway. It mostly has to be tethered to a plug and now because of that the damn plug is starting to get loose on it. The port, the charge port itself is starting to get a little finicky. So I don't take that but a portable display that I can plug into my phone and I take that on the quad because when I stop, if I sit by a pond or something I can plug my phone into it and pull up a movie or something. It comes in handy, Bluetooth speaker, always in the cup holder on my backpack, Bluetooth speaker, I love it. A bigger flashlight is always in my bag, extra batteries for that flashlight. There's usually some other knick knacks in there, cables, charge cables, a battery bank, that type of stuff. That's just if I'm going for a couple of hours in the woods or something. I'd like to have some type of weapon that you guys can have like a Burma or something. Bill has one, Grey has one, a couple more people have them. I don't know if they're legal in Canada. I thought they were but I'm pretty sure they're not. I don't know if it's a grey area or not but I'd like to have one of those to carry. I'd really love to have one of those with pepper balls in it. That would be a great addition. That's not a firearm, I don't know why it's banned. It's just like a paintball gun, a pepper ball gun or whatnot but I'd love to have one of those for my backpack just in case I ever encountered an animal. We've got coyotes around here, we've got a few wolves, around here. Not many wolves, it's like the wolves that we do have, like the few that we did have, I guess started banging a few coyotes and now we have coyote wolves around here and those things are dangerous because they've got like the temperament of a wolf but the body of a coyote and they kind of look like wolves but they're smaller. We've got those around here, a lot of those because the few colonies of wolves had to go with a bunch of coyotes that have always been around here and we've got weasels and voles and stuff like that around here.

But yeah so that's it Josh. Whether I'm carrying my backpack or not that makes all the difference in the world. A couple of HT's always in the backpack as well. I have a couple that are programmed for FRS I usually take two of those. Those are both A888's and they're tone locked DCS channels. On there I can use the regular FRS protocol. I use them for regular channels but not the regular protocol. I turn on digital voice inversion and stuff like that on my FRS. You're not supposed to do it but I do it anyway.

I started doing a good part of my work for my tablet instead of my desk, because I can take it anywhere. I can carry it up to a keyboard. I can use my phone. My phone connects to my tablet and my phone becomes my mouse. You just use your finger on your phone and it moves your mouse on the tablet. It's not a perfect one-to-one replacement for a laptop, but it's impressive and so I enjoy it. Playing video games, we've talked about that a few times. I don't do much video gaming, but I just recently found out that I can do a lot of Xbox stuff on my tablet because of the thing I pay for my grandson to be able to play Minecraft. Anyhow, I can play all the cool games like Oblivion and Skyrim and some of those, so I'm pretty excited about that. On days that I can't go outside and do stuff or I just don't feel good, that's another quiver in my arsenal that I can keep myself occupied. That's one of the things that would be in my EDC and is definitely the tablet. Now, I'm more interested to hear about this Burma. You mentioned Gray having it and Bill's coming up soon, so we'll hold off until we get to Bill.

So I have that, and it really works because the card readers, because I've got one of those tap and go cards, they won't read it through the wallet. And I have a bunch of stuff in the car, so I don't have that. That's available to me if I'm away, and then I'll need it, like the RF pouch, to stick my fob in. There's no keys with my car. In fact, when the fob isn't in the pouch, I just need to touch the door handle. It unlocks. I carry a comb always, and an electrician's knife. It's got two blades, and one is like a screwdriver, which fits really good, like an electrical socket. And the other blade, I've opened a lot of things, Phillips heads with the point.

There are sensible things you want to keep long term in case you need it. I keep screws and things that I take out of ... Let's say I'm hanging a TV. Anybody who's on the TV recently knows you get this long skinny bag of different kinds of screws and bods and things like that. Well, when you get done hanging the TV, you didn't use most of that stuff. I can hang onto stuff like that.

They had this, let me just borrow the red card. So they had this car kettle. It was for $3. So I went ahead and bought it. It's a kettle that you plug into your vehicle that would boil water. It's almost like a little coffee cup, travel coffee cup. You plug it in and you can set the temperature and you can make hot water for soup or tea or coffee or whatnot. Anyhow, before I bought it, I went ahead and picked it up on TagTVT to see if it would work for $3. Of course it would work for $3, but it does take an insanely long time for it to come to a full. So anyhow, I picked that up and you instantly popped in my mind. Other than that, what do you carry every day? In your truck, at home when you're not in the truck? The mic is yours.

Yeah, I get out in my little bitty town. I mean, it's a little bitty town. When I say get out, it takes a couple of minutes to get to Walmart. I mean, it's not like it's across a major metropolitan area. So getting out in town to me doesn't really count. I get out with my wife, we'll go to Walmart, or we'll go to Brahms and get a nice rough frozen yogurt these days. Simple things like that, but I mean, we don't go out. Hang out in Dallas-Waltworth these days, hardly. We don't go out to Rutherford, which is a much larger town that's about 15, 20 minutes away. We just don't do those things because I don't have to drive to Hudson Oaks, which is about 45 minutes away on a good day. On the way home on a Friday, it's about an hour and a half trip.

I carried a Swiss Army knife probably from the, I don't know, fifth, sixth, seventh grade through grade school. In the eighth grade some kids stabbed a girl in the back with a pencil. So, you know, pretty simple things you can use to do harm if you want to. I mean, you can do a lot of harm like with a razor blade or something. I don't know. And then I carried a Swiss Army knife all through high school. Didn't have a problem. I looked at it as a tool. Got a Phillips screwdriver and a regular screwdriver. I, you know, use it every day for something generally. Used to be, oh, I have a concealed weapons permit. I took my weapon down, my pistol with me to go down to dinner down in Portland in kind of a bad area a little bit. I didn't even tell the wife I had it in my pocket. But I was ready if anything happened. A little 9mm. I go out to coffee with my cousin every week generally. And he's 93 and he carries a gun all the time. He has a little, I think it's called a sneaky peek. Has a little pouch on it that's a belt and he's got a gun there all the time. So I feel safe when I'm with him. When you get older, you can't fight anymore. You've got to have a little more serious thing. They dedicated a ship, Portland, I think it was made down in Mississippi or somewhere, but they were dedicated here in Portland. They had the governor and the mayor and everybody down there and a couple thousand people. And I had to go through security. I forgot about my Swiss Army knife and they were checking and I told them I had it. And it was either walk a couple hundred yards back to the car or leave it. I just left it and I said, oh, for 15 bucks I'll just buy a new one. So there you go. I don't know. I heard stories like in Texas, a kid gets his hunting license and he's probably when he was 14 and he'd take his rifle to school and show the teacher. So I don't know.

We had, we had hunters and boating safety classes in school to where you know, it was actually one of our high school football coaches that taught it, but you would bring your weapons to school, check them in, but when you got to class, you know all classes were 90 minute blocks, you would go and go to a weapons range and learn how to shoot safely or go fishing or go, you know learn how to bow hunt, you know the basics, you know, it was just something crazy.

So, if you're looking to try out the Internet Controller, I would highly suggest getting a hold of Darrell or one of the other net controllers on here via Facebook or Discord.

The only way to do that is the mobile phone. And occasionally, I do leave, just like I forgot to mention it. As part of my everyday carry, I forget it. I really forget it and leave it home when I want to take it with me. Let's see, on AliExpress, they had this belt that I saw was nice. It has a zipper in the back, which gets hidden when it's on. And then you can put money in it. And I thought that was a good idea, because it's a cheap belt. If you ran into a robber, and they'd say, well, it's a cheap belt. You can keep that. What else you got? Why I didn't end up getting it is I don't think it would work that good. It was basically a waste of money. What good is a net without a little comedy? The pun was intended there.

I no longer carry the phone in the wallet. That's one. I have a little RFI, blockers wallet like you were talking about. I've had one for years. So I carry that.

Anyhow, having my back issues a lot more often and that's one of the things that I should say, hey stop sitting in your wallet. It puts you back completely out of alignment. And at that time, I think it was when the iPhone suggests started coming out, or maybe right before they came out, I might have still had the flip phone. I don't remember, but that's why I ended up not carrying a regular wallet and then I got into the ridge wallet and then I got into the wallet that stayed with my phone all the time.

Thank you so much for joining us again today, Michael. I know that losing an animal is really hard, so you are in my thoughts. I have cats, dogs, chickens, hamsters, and we have a bit of a zoo. In fact, I'll be honest, that may be what we're talking about next Friday is animals because I'm getting really into more of the bioactive idea of animal husbandry. Long story short, lots of big words, making it a more life-like environment for little critters. My hamsters, for example, are not the greatest animals to do this with, but we do plan on getting a couple of things that we can have a live bioactive environment where the plants and everything is real. A real life-living habitat for the animal. So we may talk more about that next week. That sounds like a good subject, maybe. Okay, send a mail, KB7PVW.

I'm not quite sure it's the forest. But we were up to, probably 20 years ago, up to Pendleton, which is about 200 miles east of Portland here on the Columbia. They had the Pendleton round up there. Maybe you heard of Pendleton blankets. They make those there. But big rodeo in Pendleton probably next month, I think September. We went up there years ago. Our ex-neighbor was a lawyer and he went up there to work and we stayed at their place. It was a good deal. But anyway, we were up there and Linda's aunt's kids said that they couldn't have a fire in their fireplace or something because of the smoke.

Everybody else on the net here this morning. First off, we're still in a bit of a monsoon situation here, expecting some thunder showers today. Anyway, I would be happy to host you on down here. It's a unique opportunity because right now we're in a couple of former C-130 hangars, which is what we call our restoration hangar. So to be able to see this phase of the museum development is very rare. And so, again, we've got about 48 aircraft that are going through full restoration. They're stripped down to metal. They're primed, painted, and then putting the symbols back on and, of course, getting the cockpits all fixed up and everything. So it's just an amazing thing to see the metal shop, the wood shop, all the different aspects that go into preparing these aircraft for the new museum when it's built. And so apparently we're just getting ready to lay the pad for that, which is kind of pushing us a little bit in getting this biplane done because it's the first one that's going to go in. And we've got to be ready because there's a whole bunch of airplanes right behind us that have to be taken care of as well. But I hope you saw the pictures of the engine because I know you're a car guy and probably an airplane guy too. But the engine is coming together. Imagine a 100-year-old engine that we've powder coated and shined and polished and reassembled. It's nearly completely reassembled. And I will take a picture of that. So now the students are getting ready to build the stand for the engine, which now has to be able to hold this beautiful brass radiator and the propeller, which adds about a little bit over 100 pounds to the front of the engine. So they've got to be able to brace that nicely. And we're going to mix in some spruce with that to give it the feel of what it was like to be mounted actually in the fuselage there. So anyway, taking up too much time here. Come on down. We'd be happy to have you. We'll host you here.

And yeah, you guys had some really good adventures and camp trips. We're sure happy for you. Yeah, Joe and I put on a slideshow last night on the big screen just to reminisce some of our trips over there on the coast and on Oregon and everything. And it was just, I think it was 2017. And so it really made us long to do it again. But anyway, we're grateful for the times we've had up there in that beautiful coast. And that was a beautiful picture you sent there. I think it was Haystack Rock. So I remember that for one of our visits. And one of my favorite trips up there, I guess it was maybe 2015 or 14, I'm not sure. I always loved covered bridges and lighthouses and old barns. They'd give me my camera and I am a happy camper on those three subjects. And Oregon's got a lot of them for sure. And Northern California. So anyway, I was not here on the screen porch and it is a lot lower humidity and it's not bad this morning. It seems really quite nice. Yeah. It's much drier. So it's really great. Hi to Rosie there and everybody's been on. And Bud, yeah, Rosie and Joe and I are really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow and having lunch. And that'll be great. So yeah, it doesn't seem like this is the Labor Day holiday coming up. I keep thinking that's a week or two off. So wow, trying to keep up with this time. So just a good hearing everyone.

KC7THD and we're doing pretty good. Like Joyce says, we're sitting out here on the porch again and it's really nice. The humidity is way down and the air is kind of dry compared to the humidity we've had the last couple of days. Partly sun and partly shade but there's not a cloud in the sky. It's just absolutely gorgeous here in the valley of the sun. When you can't check in, I have a simple solution where nobody will have any problems checking in. You just keep calling and finally until there's nobody there and you leave a 10 second dead airspace once around and everybody that wants to check in will get checked in. To prove that everybody's there, a 10 second dead airspace calling for check-ins and nobody's there just once around a whole 10 seconds. It works every time it's been tried. Anyway, on this holiday, Joyce and I should be up there with the Jeep and the cinders but there's 50 square miles of cinders and pine trees up in there. It's craters, big craters like Sunset Crater. Well it's right next to Sunset Crater National Monument and it's just really an experience up there. We Jeeped those big cinders, craters and everything at night. We have night runs. You could easily get lost in there and everything. Oh man, it's just an exciting time. We've been up there many, many years in the Jeep with the Creepy Trawlers Jeep Club and there's all kinds of other Jeep clubs up in there. And pretty good size bonfires with the clubs depending on the size of the clubs so everybody can sit around the ring of the campfire at night. And it was just a delightful time. Let's see, there was one other thing but I keep forgetting. What was it? Oh well. I'll remember soon as I unkey kids so I won't delay. Anyway, back in that control. KC7GHC. We're just putting along out here. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7 November. Okay, yeah I'm sure you guys really miss those Jeepin Trips and Campin Trips. Like you say, I'm glad you got all those slideshows and stuff. You can go back and relive them. And by the way, I don't know if you heard that Sue and I are going to be down that way the end of April, first part of May. So I think we'll try to book some time in Phoenix and maybe visit you. So now we're going to be in Sedona the 27th to the 30th of April. And maybe we'll get to see a little bit more about this trip. So with that, let's see. Let's jump down to Junction City, Oregon.

Instead of turning it over, they just cranked the rudder over to get the heavy wing out and stuff. Anyway, that's one that I'm supposed to finish.

So there's a few acts performing. Headliners are like Cypress Hill, you know, Insane and the Membrane, some of you know them. Atmosphere, Loopy Fiasco, The Elevators, Revolution and a few others. It's not super my vibe. I was kind of excited that he might not show up but he bought the tickets so we'll go see a few shows.

But of course where we live the weather is not always cooperative. Well, I'm outing myself. I don't usually announce my home QTH on the position, but here in Arizona where I'm hosting remotely from Chandler the weather is so dang hot. And if anybody else doesn't know about hot weather and flying it produces a lot of really unstable air, not to mention the fact you're flying in heat and the inside of your small aircraft is usually very uncomfortable. So yeah, Noah went up a few weeks ago to keep his resency going. He did three laps and it was like 105 and he was like, he landed the plane and he called me and he goes, Yup, we're not going up today. We're not going anywhere. So got to wait for the weather to get better. Hi, hi. Around here better might happen in late September. So anyway, thanks Matt for that.

It's interesting the propagation. One net I listened to up there, the guy talked, he talked long enough that he disappeared, then he came back. Oh well. Anyway, I had not much on my plate today. The only big thing that's happening is I have a competing contractor come by and give us an estimate on doing the outside of the house and the trim work and I got to feel this way, a big bill. I can give two or three estimates, talk to each of the guys. So that's on the agenda for this afternoon. That's about it. Anyway Ron, thanks for the great net.

It is a beautiful first day I guess it is. Friday? I'm getting confused on the dates here. Anyway, I'm mobling around. I pulled over into a parking lot. I'm right up on Beacon Hill by the VA hospital. And it's turning out to be a nice morning. The car at the moment is said 68 miles down to 66. But this is just fine. It's starting out a little bit cool, a little bit of clouds. I'm trying to kind of moderate the sun today. I'm sure it will be more than later. But it's starting out like this and it's perfect for me. So I know my audio sounds muffled on this microphone. Sorry about that. But I got big plans for the day. I'm going to be in my house cleaning up a little bit. I got some friends coming over later and have to straighten things out. The weirdest thing happened about two or three weeks ago. I went to vacuum in my house and I could not find my vacuum cleaner. It's one of these yellow Eureka canister vacuum cleaners. It's really easy to tow it around. Once in a while I take it out and vacuum out my car. All I can think of is because I couldn't find the vacuum cleaner. I looked and I looked and I looked at my storage unit and everywhere. All I can think of is that I must have left it outside after I was vacuuming my car. Someone took it. But when I'm apartment building people don't take things. I don't know. Anyway, since I couldn't find it after searching for two weeks I went ahead and got a replacement. The exact same one. I got a vacuum cleaner and this morning I will use it. Doesn't that sound exciting? Yes. Anyway, that's kind of part of my plans today. I just finished taking friends to do some shopping at some Asian markets and drop them off. That's my place to do the aforementioned vacuum cleaning and other domestic stuff this morning. So anyway, that's what exciting stuff is going on with me.

I love that Bill. I would also say this, if anybody is listening in Hamland who has the ability to technologically innovate or whatever, well one option for ham operators is to set your radio to VOX. My very first ham contact ever, W7JAM, silent key, he would talk on his commutes and he had his radio on VOX. And I would talk to him on the Woodinville repeater and so he could just leave his headset on or whatever he did. My other thought, I thought this day and age how you can talk into your phone and it transcribes everything and say we should have the ability as ham operators to call out to our radio like you do Google or Alexa. Call out to the radio and tell it what to do and it just does it. Like in the car I should be able to not even looking down at my radio say, I can say to the sound repeater group and it flips it over to 14696. Or I should be able to say frequency I should say radio frequency 14696 and it just pops in there and stuff. And the ability to be hands free while doing some radio stuff, somebody should innovate that one in there. So anyway, we have so many other things going on I think that would be such a huge leap forward in mobile operations to be able to operate the radio with just a voice. Anyway, I'll be right back.

N7ECD, your HI, PI. Once again, worked in this case. I'm out in Plamath Falls. Boy, I drove 10 hours yesterday. Thought I was in the right spot. Had to drive another 82 miles or so east to start the shift this morning. So an early start this morning to get here before 9 AM. And it looks like the guy I'm waiting on is probably not going to show. It'll be close to 25 hours travel time total by the time I get home for nothing. I'd hate to be the guy that's got to explain that in the long run. All I got to do is document and report it. So whatever. It is what it is. I can't say I don't love my job. Other than that, nothing more to report. Still in a loaner car. My Jeep got totaled over in Seattle on the 3rd. My birthday weekend, hoorah. But still working through that and trying to get a new set of wheels. And I've got a big event coming up in September that I can't wait for. Wasteland Weekend is coming up in Southern California the last two weeks of September. That should be pretty cool. That's like a post-apocalyptic wasteland kind of festival event. Be down there working it, but you still have to be in costume and character. So it's going to be kind of neat. And then I'm looking into jumping on a management gig down here in Oregon. It's going to pay pretty good. And a company out here needs some help buttoning up one of their outfits down south. So let's see what happens, man. Lots going on. Summer's just about over, and I'm cool with that. But I need to get some reliable wheels underneath me for sure. Everybody have a good day.

But you can always take the test though of course. If there's VE's on hand you can always upgrade your license which is pretty cool. So anyway, more information you can find over at psrg.org.

It's one of his first kind of out of town adventures since he's gathered all these skills together over the years at the survival camps of which he just finished working the summer and actually making money working for the school.

From the sounds of the discussions, I might need to get another box truck to get everything because there sounds to be a lot of darn gear. So yeah, it will be an interesting one. But I'll report back on that one tomorrow. We'll be able to do that since I don't have a charging mechanism in the vehicle, even though I did pick up four DC to DC little buck converters or charge adapters. So I grabbed those at the Goodwill. I saw them for just a ridiculous price. So I picked those up. So if anyone's looking for one of those DC-DC adapters, it's a consistent, I think, 12.8 or 13.6 volt output with a variable 8 to 36 volt input. So a pretty slick little device, just like what you got to do your adaptive charging. So yeah, we'll see if those come into play anywhere. But thanks, Jack, for doing what you do. Thanks for calling for us again. I appreciate it. It did take me a couple seconds to get Echo Link fired up and connected. And luckily, we got good self-service here. Hi, hi. This is KJ7JXM. Clear. Back to you, my friend."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-29T12:10:11+00:00","id":27409,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":27408,"text":" Alright, lots going on.

Their coffee is distributed all over the Northwest and maybe even other places too. But Tony's Coffee and Fairhaven, just amazing. And that's a fun town too.

The two of you would just love the Old Town Cafe. Great menu, great people. Last time I was there, I told them that I used to work there about a million years ago. They're like, what? Tell us some stories. I told them a couple and they're just totally impressed. So anyway, that was a long time ago. So anyway, have a great time and thank you Robert and good luck tomorrow with the Silent Key Estate. It's a really wonderful thing that you two are doing. I know it's like that.

He's driving. We're taking his little Honda car only because, well for a couple of reasons. It's fuel efficient and my battery's dead right now. So I tried to drive the other day and wah wah. We usually have it plugged into the trickle charger but he's got his black Jeep in the driveway in that spot right now. So no such luck. I am familiar with both of those venues in Bellingham Jack. I grew up in Mount Vernon and so we went to Bellingham all the time and I remember going to the cafe and to the coffee shop quite a bit. So yeah I'm looking forward to hitting up those places. If you've got any other recommendations for places for us to hit up in Bellingham feel free to send us a message. We're always looking for recommendations. And then Robert wanted me to let you know that he got his business cards ordered this morning so he's pretty excited about that too. I can't wait to see what they look like when they arrive. We picked up some colors and hopefully those colors look good. So he's back with his coffee. Oh look at that. There's a little message written on there. Thanks for hosting.

They packed a lot of stuff into 48 minutes or whatever they do. In fact, there's a joke in there about, oh yeah, 42 minute shift, like work shift, and, oh yeah, one of the crews got, oh these 42 minute shifts are killing me. 42 minutes is your typical Star Trek episode length.

The good part is this, I got out there Friday about midday and spent a couple hours at the show. Saw most of what I thought I needed to see in a couple hours. Although with all the coverage that comes later there's certainly a lot of stuff I missed. And then I went and you know, there has been a peculiar number of people talking about these bedrock sandals to me. Namely our friend here, HCD, Chris has a pair right now and he asked me for a repair done one time. And a lot of other people haven't been swear by him. So I picked up a pair of bedrock sandals.

And they didn't come on for a substantial amount of time later, like close to 8.15. But just before that his friends arrived and said, hey go ahead and take the front rail dude. You're shorter.

He goes, are you going to go to the Questlove DJ set? And I said, the Questlove DJ set? I wouldn't miss it. So I went on a bike ride Friday night there, the famous Friday night ride in Portland. Then I went about midnight or 1230 AM to the Questlove DJ set at Jack London's Youth where I again was front row amongst a crowd of like 200 people. It was crazy. Now here's one of the absolute highlights. After the show got over, 10 years ago I met Questlove in this similar scenario where I waited outside of the venue after his DJ set. I got a photo with him in November of 25 in Denver, Colorado. Well, I aimed to do the same thing this past weekend. And I did get a photo with a begrudgingly unthrilled Questlove on Friday night. They took off in the town car, went around the corner. I chased them up the hill on the Brompton. He's staying at the Ritz-Carlton downtown Portland. And I yelled out, Amir, can I have an autograph?

I'll say the people from PAUL components, they're an American made outfit out of Chico. They make just some of the finest bicycle accessories, hubs and metal bits, aluminum, machined aluminum. Their booth was always wonderful. I'll stop by and talk to them. And then probably the sideshow of me that I really liked was there's all these pop-ups around town and I made it over to, there was this Fringe Media Zine pop-up, if you look up pinch flat pop-up where I met a really, really cool artist from San Francisco by the name of Chris McNally. And he invited me to their bike commune in San Francisco next time I visit. So those were probably the two highlights.

Would that be the one at 316 West Holly Street in Bellingham? According to Google, it says hip cozy bistro offering area source breakfast served all day and lunch in rusty cool digs. You worked at that place? What were you doing up in Bellingham? When was that? Anyway. So, busy day for me. I'm not muffled today because I'm at my home QTH here with my Icom mobile radio and the Icom boost net microphone with a fuzzy on it so that I don't make any breath-pumping noises. And I wanted to mention that it's kind of a follow-up on my car. I mentioned a couple of times that the rebate is supposed to have a $4,000 rebate for used EV and the dealership had called me and said, hey, you know, we need your Social Security card. And I go, Social Security card? No one's ever asked for that in my life and I'd have to get my mother and father's birth certificate to get a replacement card. Oh my gosh. So I went in there the other day and talked to the sales guy who had been calling me. I wasn't there, but I talked to the manager and I said, hey, you know, what's with this thing needing my Social Security number? And he goes, let me check on the IRS thing here. So he checks on the IRS webpage and he says, yeah, the problem is Social Security number. We need to have your Social Security number. And I said, you could have asked that on the phone. I would have given it, you know, Social Security number. So I read out my number and apparently someone on their end, the dealership's end, had typed in one number wrong and of course it was not going through. So he corrected the number and he says, okay, it's good. Yep, all done. $4,000 rebate, which isn't for me. It's for the dealership. So I don't know why they didn't pursue this a little more. Anyway, that's taken care of. And the other thing I wanted to mention is, oh, it's a cooler day today. Yes, I like that. I've been putting off doing serious house cleaning in my work because on the hot days it just gets too hot here when it's like 75, I'm sorry, 78, 80 degrees in my apartment. It's not much fun. I'm too lazy to turn on the air conditioner, I guess. But today it's nice and cool. I can't avoid it. I've been vacuuming with my replacement Eureka Mighty Mite vacuum. Yes, I misplaced my vacuum cleaner. I don't know where. And I got the new one, a replacement in the other day, exact duplicate. And it's working great. It's second grade.

So yeah, I was up there and worked at the old town cafe. Yes indeed. Well you know what, now let's see, hold on a second here, okay wait, where did that go? Alright, anyway, yep that was me.

That would be great. And thanks for letting us know about your scooter there. And they needed some repairs after some elevator incidents. So it just seems that, indeed, obviously it's going to cost a little bit. So I suppose it's the ups and downs of owning a scooter. Elevator incident. The ups and downs. Oh, goodness me. I'm not going to have to explain it. Am I right, Dave? Anything else for us?

Oh I'll be taking up the guitar the acoustic guitar that's what's new. I played one a little bit there earlier in the day. Some reason got rid of it and I do have one in mind. But my brother's going to give his the one that he owns to me because it's sitting in his closet. So he hates for it to just sit there so there you go. So that's what's going on. We'll pass it back to Ned. Hey everyone have a great weekend. It's a long weekend here in Canada and slash the US. Last official long weekend of summer as they say about I think it's about 28 to 29 degrees Celsius tomorrow. It sure doesn't feel like September's upon us but you know what it will cool down eventually and what have you. Right now we'll enjoy what we got but boy those these days are getting shorter noticeably 830ish is sunset nowadays. Still beautiful weather we'll take it.

Well hello there Graham and hello to everyone on the net today. Not really all too much going on really this week here with me in Newport South Wales. It's been a pretty quiet week generally. I did have a driving lesson on Tuesday. Although I just went for a drive on that one. Initially we were going to practice starting and stopping a little bit but eventually we just decided to change plan and went ahead and took a drive. Down a pretty windy road actually and I did quite well indeed so pretty happy with that. And I think the instructor was pretty impressed with me to be able to do that on just my second official lesson with him so pretty happy to have been able to do that. Also I go back to school next Wednesday so now finishing just my final... hmm... finishing my final full week of just being off school. Got a few more days to relax and also at the same time kind of get back into the routine of waking up a bit earlier to be able to be mentally awake early enough for school of course. So that's about all from me and I don't think I have anything else to say today so I'm gonna go ahead and pass it back to you there Graham. Of course a massive hello to everyone on the net. A hello to Helen who will be in the background and also to Odin as well. I hope you're keeping well up there in Scotland. So that being said I'll pass it back to you Graham.

It's always great to catch up with you, of course. And yeah, thanks for the update there and your second lesson, which you kind of said didn't feel like a lesson because you weren't in particular apart from driving. But of course, just the experience of driving, and especially if you've got a professional instructor sitting next to you who can have a look at just how you're doing and what's happening and if there's anything he needs to point out, any bad habits you're developing or anything like that, he'll be there to point it out. So sometimes those are just the best lessons, especially if you're on a windy road, like you said. There's a little bit of a challenge there. So good stuff. And well, I think you said the feedback was very positive. So good stuff. Well done. I'm sure you'll do great. I've said before, I'm a very nervous passenger. I don't know how driving instructors actually do it, honestly. But I'm just such a nervous passenger, even with great drivers. I've kind of learned to be not so nervous when Helen's driving, but there we go. All the staff there, wait and see. Yeah, maybe I'm out of control. Maybe that's what it is. Anyway, Declan, thanks so much. And fine business. Come back to school. You did mention the 3rd of September, so I presume that coincides with next Wednesday. And just for info, Poppy Yoden, who is turning four months old actually tomorrow, and goodness when we got him, he was like what, six kilograms, five or six kilograms? He's now 15, just over 15 kilograms of four months old. He's going to be a big boy. Anyway, he's doing really great. But we know he's doing well with his kind of training and everything else. But we thought maybe Oden could do with a little bit of actual school as well. So we've signed him up for some, he's going to school. And he's going to start some puppy classes towards the end of next month. I think around about the 20th of September or something he's going to start. So yeah, Poppy Yoden's also going to school, but for the first time, not like yourself obviously. So good stuff. Anyway, are you looking forward to getting back to school there? How's your feelings about that there, Declan? I'll throw it back to you one more time if you do not mind. 2 Whiskey Zero, Pee-Wot Yankee Hotel. This is GM Zero. You be in control for iDent.

I'm going to try not to do much until Tuesday. Might be doing a motorcycle ride tomorrow over to Illinois, about an hour, an hour and a half each way to where I'm going. It's not definite yet, but I think I'm going. Other than that, I'm just taking it easy here. Oh, I found that Motorola that I lost last week. I think it was on one of the nets. I can't remember when. It might have been the Wednesday net I was talking about it, or maybe it was a different net. Can't remember exactly where. But anyway, that Motorola that I had misplaced, and I had looked everywhere, anyway I found it, it was in the house. So it wasn't lost or stolen after all. So that was good news. Other than that, like I said, not a whole lot happening. I don't know if I'll be around listening for the whole net. I'm actually thinking of taking the bike out this evening, or now. I guess it's early. It's only 3.20 in the afternoon here in Indiana. And I'm thinking of taking the bike out for a little local ride.

I'm glad you're going to take a little break. I know you're a very, very hard worker there, so it's good to take a wee break. If the weather suits, of course, get yourself out there on the motorbike and have a little bit of a scoot around and a tail around. I know you've done, I think it was last week, you did a journey. It's great. I always like to hear about your adventures out there on the roads, that's for sure. I know you're not a big speed freak or anything. You just enjoy just getting out and the fresh air and the scenery and everything else. It just sounds absolutely amazing. Good stuff there, Ray. Anyway, thank you.

So yeah, that was good that that was mentioned in there. I don't know if I ever thanked you for that, but that was good. I read that a couple times. Last week I did go for an overnight trip actually. I left Tuesday morning, came back Wednesday afternoon. I got back home here literally just as the Wednesday night was starting. I think I might have mentioned I was unpacking the bike as I was talking on that night. So that was an overnight trip to Callaway, Callaway County, Kentucky, southwest Kentucky, very close to where I go to Cypress Springs. It's actually all the same area there really. That county is pretty big. But anyway, that was Tuesday and Wednesday. So I was off both of those days. And now here it is the holiday weekend and I'm taking off again. Sounds terrible doesn't it? I don't do a whole lot. But when I'm busy, I'm real busy here. So it goes both ways I guess. I don't know. Other than that, no, not a whole lot else to say. I'm going to be probably getting out of here in a minute. So like I said, I might not be around for the rest of the night. Like I usually listen on Friday. I try to monitor it until the end as part of my routine. But I'm going to be leaving for a little bit. So I'm not home for the evening. I'm not done for the day and home for the night. But next week I probably will be. So I'll give it back to you Graham. I'll say 7-3. Thanks for doing the net. Tell Helen I said hello if you are listening Helen. I'm trying to remember to call. Oh my gosh, I know the HQS part. Remember the prefix. I am so sorry. MM7 HQS? Anyway, I will be listening here for a little bit and then I'll be heading out.

Happy Friday. And hey, listen, it's been a while since we spoke. It must be a good 45 minutes. Anyway, back to you, Doug. Oh, sorry. Over to you, Doug. Welcome to the night. Happy Friday. The mic is yours. Well, good evening, Graham and Helen in the background and everyone else listening. Hope all is well. Ray, nice to hear you. It's been a while since we've spoken. And Craig, I see you on the list here. Nice to see you as well. We had a lovely morning. Normally, we go to the gym on Friday mornings. We said, it's a nice morning. Let's just go for a hike. So we went up to St. Jacobs, which is north of Waterloo, and we took a walk along the Conestoga River. It was a beautiful walk, 15 degrees or something like that. So a lovely morning for a walk. And then we went out for breakfast after the hike up in St. Jacobs. And St. Jacobs is an historic town, which is just north of Waterloo, Ontario. I'm using, today I'm using a new node on a Raspberry Pi. I built a new All Star node on a Raspberry Pi 5. And I put an NVMe drive on it just because, just to see how it works. I mean, it's way overkill, but it's working pretty well. And I'm using an interface called an All Scan UCI 120. And I'm using an old microphone from my Kenwood TS570. So that's how I'm getting into All Star today. And yes, for the September newsletter, I've written a review of this device. So you can read about it there.

Even just for a couple of minutes here and there and then a couple of minutes turns into a couple of hours and everything else. You know how it goes. But if you have to actually bring out the case and bring it out of the case, it's just a step. Sometimes a step too far. But of course, and it's because of Pumpy Oden there, I've had to put because it's quite a good guitar I've got there I have to say. And he chokes chews on anything whatsoever. He jumps on things and man I'll tell you if it makes a noise he's even more excited. So I can just imagine how Oden would be kind of investigating my wooden guitar, my electro acoustic guitar there.

Anyway, I have a great net, Graham. I'm going to be here for just a couple of minutes. Oh, just something funny happened. Yesterday, I was putting a Raspberry Pi case together and as is always the case, I lost a little screw. Just now, I pushed my chair back. I searched for the screw for about half an hour or 45 minutes. Yesterday, I couldn't find it. Just now, I pushed the chair back and all of a sudden, there was a screw on the floor right behind the chair.

But this particular night, the IRN-K1 multi-mode night will always, the start time will always be 5 PM Eastern Time, whatever Eastern Time might be. So we'll make adjustments across here in the UK because most of our check-ins are from across the pond, I appreciate that, so I'll always kind of start at 5 PM Eastern Time.

It's nice to be able to sit back and relax, that's for sure. Although I will have to leave here in a little bit and pick up the kiddo from school. So there is that.

Anyway, but yeah, he is, you know, people absolutely adore him. They really do, but they don't see what happens at home with a puppy. But you know, he is so, so cute as well. But I don't know quite if he can compete with the lion head bunny rabbit there. So I don't know, we might have to have some kind of Facebook page, you know, kind of a vote or something. You put up some pictures of your bunnies, I'll put up a couple of pictures of Odin. And we'll find exactly who is the cutest critters of the TB1 multi-woad net. So maybe that will be something we'll do. We'll have to do it quite soon because he's growing, growing awful quick. And his cuteness grows out of that as well. So it just becomes a big fox-red Labrador. And the bunnies will outweigh him all the way. I'll have to send him old pictures of Odin when he was a few weeks away. There we go. Anyway, that was just a little bit of a side kind of like. We'll not do that. I don't think we can compete with the bunnies. Anyway, Randall, great to hear from you, sir.

Myself and Helen, we've got an air fryer and, well, I think we're on to our third, and we haven't really experimented too, too much with it, but it's out there. And there's so, so many different things that people do with air fryers these days. Quite, quite incredible, really is. Anyway, well, thank you. Thank you so much for being there. We do appreciate that. And yeah, we definitely have us all salivating over here with your chicken wings. I don't know if you can manage to maybe put on an extra few and send them out over the airwaves to all the listeners and myself and Helen. That would be fantastic if you can do that. Well, that would be amazing. Sometime in the future, well, that might even be possible. You just never know. Anyway, KJ5, GWN, do you have anything else for us, sir? Like, yeah, can you send us some chicken wings over the air from GM0? Can you be back to you for any final comments, sir? This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November Quebec, November, all star node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. I don't think that's possible, Graham. I'm sorry. Wish I could do that, but you know, it would cost too much to send them overseas.

People often talk about time is passing by so, so quick. You know, Bex, I've even heard many young people saying that time is passing by so, so quick. So what's going on there? Anyway, we'll have to wait and see beyond our pay grade. But Bex, thank you, thank you so much. And no, it's back to work, back to the kids going back to school and of course the dogs and back to behaving themselves after having a relaxation out there in the holly bags and doing this and doing that. We want freedom. I wonder if you've managed to get Chester back to where he's meant to be. There we go. Well, on that note, there's Bex and we have signed up Odin. He's doing so, so well. He knows his day is set, he's best in the gum and he even does heal. He does heal quite well and everything else. He's doing well but finish a distraction, man. That's not so good. But he only turns four months old tomorrow. So we signed up Odin for the puppy classes. So he's going to school in about three weeks time. He's going to be starting going to school. So we'll see how that goes. Anyway, back to you Bex. And no, it's great to hear from you, it really is. And you're looking forward to getting back to the grind and teaching and everything else. M7KNO from GM0. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November Quebec November, all star node 622. M7KNO, Mathieu. If I'm honest, I'm not really this year. 16 years I've been doing this and I've reached a point where I think, do I still want to be doing it? But we'll see. England Hockey are talking about funding what I do. You never know, I could get paid. I'll be at five schools this year. I may actually get paid for everything I do for them. We shall see. And as for the dogs, puppy classes, good idea. Good socialising experience for Odin. And yeah, you'll learn lots of new skills and everything else. Personally I've never done them because obviously I train them slightly differently with working them. But if I wasn't going to work a dog, I think I would definitely go to puppy classes. Jester's got the groundwork there, but we've reached that teenage stage. He was a year old this month. So he's got to that, oh, I know the rules, but I'm going to push the boundaries. And with Toby here this week's end, all the boundaries go out the window just the way it is. I'm going to be having words with my son again. His dog's five. He's very much an only child, shall we say. And he's not being doctored, and I think he should be. He likes to dominate, and he dominates Archie. So there's a few issues there. So I'll be having a quiet word with my son here again because he's not going to breed him. And there's absolutely no need for him to be in tact. And it's causing a few problems, especially when I've got two male dogs. But he won't like what I've got to say. So even when your children leave home, sometimes you still have to have a quiet word. So, yep, I'll hand it on that note back to you, Graham."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-29T14:19:54+00:00","id":27514,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":27513,"text":" Thank you, Bex. Having said that, I do have a question for you on that kind of particular subject. Before I ask the question, of course, the puppy Odin, we've been taking him out everywhere. I think any day he's knocking out to a surprise party or this and that or he's eating other puppies. He kind of gets bored. He's going, what's happening? What's happening? So maybe we're overstimulating him. Sometimes you have to remind yourself how much a puppy at four months actually needs to sleep and take some time out. So, yeah, so we've been everywhere with him, doing different things, dog shows, eating other puppies. So his socializing is doing great. And he's doing well. And like I said earlier, he knows that he'll come around and sit on his left leg and get some treats and everything else. Honestly, for four months he's doing fantastically well. But he's a proper working Labrador. He's one of those kind of slimline Labradors. We're feeding him, but he's not getting fat. He's just one of the slimline ones. Full of energy. He's going to be tall and land all day. So anyway, he's turning four months and he's already over 15 kilos. So there we go.

There's some kind of tablet alternative out there, so Helen was telling me about that a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't actually researched it myself.

Yes, it does work. I don't know any information particularly about the side effects and things like that with it, but a vet friend who lives where we live, one of his had that particular tablet, works effectively as far as I know. But I will inquire from him, it was a good few years ago when he started giving his dog it, as to side effects and things like that. Because with doctoring them, there's two schools of thought, a lot of people have their dogs done at six months old. But more and more vets are coming down to the theory that we have, well it's science actually, we don't get them done until they're two because the growth hormones and all the other hormones as well, if you have them done at six months, they don't have those hormones released into them and the skull and everything doesn't expand. There's all sorts of science behind it. So a lot of vets now are going the way that we go, wait until they're two. It does depend on the size of the breed, but with labs in particular, their size of breed, you need to wait. And then they're less likely to get cancer when they're older and things like that. There's a lot of information out there about it. But again, it's one of those things, it's personal preference, a lot of people still swear by six months. But personally, I'm quite intrigued by the tablet and I will have a knock on my friend's door because it obviously doesn't cost me to go to the vet and ask that way. And just get some information for you and I'll perhaps email his response because that's probably easier than doing it on here for you Graham. So yeah, M7K and I back to you Graham."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-29T14:23:37+00:00","id":27517,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":27516,"text":" Well, thank you so much, Bex.

And as we went through the high temperature, the highest temperature point on the entry, you could see it sort of, if you watched it very, very closely, you could see it sort of, the metal solidifying again. And it still was. But, when I went up to it, they actually said that they removed some of the heat tiles off the heat shield at critical points, you know, along some fuel lines or something along that, at critical points to see if, you know, how much it would actually candle, you know, if there was an accident or whatever in real space flight, going to Mars and stuff like that. I call it near destructive testing myself. But, they use a couple of other words that meant exactly the same thing. But, yeah, did you, I think, did you see that? That's with the cameras.

That's something I always wonder about because as I understand it, those rings are what, 4 millimeters thick or something like that, 3 millimeters thick. And on one side is space and the other side is liquid oxygen or whatever. And how are they going to keep that stuff from all boiling off on the way to Mars? And that's something I've been wondering about for a long time. And how can they go through this intense heat of re-entry and just not have it all totally boil off before they get ready for it? Somehow they make it work. Anyway, interesting things to ponder. And it's like the same suspense that you have with a championship sporting event, watching these things.

Of course, the thing that I keep pointing out to people is that if this is an alien spacecraft, traveling at 58 kilometers a second, and at its closest approach to the sun, I think it's supposed to get up to about 68 kilometers per second. If you're better at math than I am, I kept trying and I kept coming with this huge number, maybe I was right, I don't know, but if you're better at math than I am, a light year is 5.8 trillion miles, and if you're traveling at 58 kilometers a second, oh, 36 miles a second, that's right, it's also 36 miles.

Sometimes you just have to sneak in a really quick recheck and then when they recognize you, then you just go ahead and throw the call sign out there.

Sometimes I hear some activity out there and sometimes I don't. It is kind of a hit and miss. It is not like I really put any effort into trying to look into when the nets are on. Sometimes they are not being indicated that they are activated on net logger or any other type of means that I am aware of there other than just doing some research on my own and I can usually find it. Sometimes I get a little lazy so I just turn on my echo link and just start going through my favorites list and see if there is any activity out there somewhere. Sometimes I even connect to a couple of notes that you are familiar with that you are in and I can see your all-star note on there and there is no activity. I think, okay, well, his system is monitoring but he may not be monitoring himself. His system is linked up. Sometimes when I get that late in the evening and I don't have anything going on, I get a little bored. There is nothing good on TV. I will start searching around or I will turn on my 7300 and start searching the vans. Sometimes especially during the day, the sun spot activity has been atrocious here.

So it seems to me anyway. I'm checking NetLogger here and there's nothing going on there either. So no texting and no nothing there. I guess you could be right. It could be something to do with the Labor Day weekend upcoming here. Every day is a Labor Day weekend for me. Every day is a holiday for me. I've been retired for 12 years so I just like to kind of kick back and do my own thing. And boy I'll tell you what, time flies though when you're retired because I just can't believe it's been that many years already. And boy, there's a term for it I guess, Campus Fugitive. I think it's the older we get the more time flies. So it seems like when we're little kids we always can't wait until Christmas comes around because it seems like when you're a kid Christmas comes around every 10 years. It just seems like it never gets here. Older and older then we seem to realize that Christmas comes around a little bit more often but it's still a ways away and then the next thing you know here we are adults. And for some people it's like okay well let's see I'm still making payments on the credit card on all those Christmas gifts that we purchased and gee whiz here we are approaching Christmas and I haven't paid off that card yet. So now I've got to put some more credit on there so I can pay off that credit card again over a period of time. Now I don't have that issue since I don't use credit cards anymore. Everything we have is paid off so you know I just, we need something I just go out and get it. I don't even think twice about it.

And of course a lot of the networks that connect on a regular basis, they disconnect either at 5 to midnight or midnight for other nets and stuff like that because I mean this net's been going for now 3 hours, 3 hours and 1 minute. But sometimes you have a little bit of a lapse for a little while after midnight my time. And it picks up again surprisingly. But not all the time there Keith. So I'll keep going for a little bit longer and if there's no further check-ins I will close it. But it's made its 3 hours duration. And it is a rag tune-out as well. So Waffle is permitted there Keith. And all loaded on the credit cards as well. And yeah I was brought up and if you don't have the cash you're not going to have it. You're going to have to save up and get it if you want something special. So if I haven't got the money then it's not happening basically. I was brought up the old school way. If you haven't got the money you can't buy it obviously. So don't get into debt if you know what I mean. So my father was from Newport here in South Wales and never was from a little village in Ireland in the middle of nowhere. It's called Broadford when she was alive. And that place was absolutely amazing to visit and stay there. Absolutely phenomenal place. It's like going back in time it was. Like going back a hundred years in time. People didn't have electricity in certain places and there were a couple of places that didn't have running water. All elderly folk and you know why should they change now?

I'm a history buff. I love history. I love world history and I love American history. But American history doesn't have nearly the type of fascination I think out here is what you have out there. And I am a coin collector. I'm a numismatist. I think I've mentioned that to you. A lot of the coins that I have that were circulated here during the colonial period and pre-colonial days, a lot of them came from the UK. And so it's fascinating to collect a bunch of those coins and some of the coins that were found out here in the northeast coast in the New England area there. I've got a book that indicates and shows all the different coins that were found during excavation sites. And so I had to have some of those coins. I had to collect those. Colonials are my favorites of all the coins that I have. And I'm so fascinated with it. Just loving to know.

Oh yeah, I will tell you what Dave, you are just really getting me riled up here about this. I really want to get out there and do some of that touring around and checking out some of the sites and getting some private tours so to speak and learn some more about that history because it is absolutely, totally amazing stuff. I am just so into it. By golly, here I am timing out the repeater again. The alligator caught me and I get ridiculed pretty good when I do that out here. This is the first time I have done it out there if I recall. I have a timer on my echo link here. You would think I would be paying attention to it a little bit more than I have been. I always want to make sure I allow a little bit of extra time between transmitting so I make sure that repeater is clear because sometimes I have been known to get a little in there early before the repeater clears and I can talk for 15 seconds and get timed out. I realize, wait a minute, I wasn't talking for very long. Well, that's why. It's because I didn't wait long enough. But anyway, okay. Well listen, again I will say again since you didn't hear me. I will go ahead and clear off with you there Dave and let you wrap things up here and get a few more check ins if you can. Let you get on with your evening. But I do appreciate the conversation with you and I look forward to hearing you out there again and having some more really fun conversations here. As I say, everybody out here that is catching some of these stations from over there across the pond are just thrilled to be able to hear the contacts. We have had a couple so the word is getting around. They have checked into the Scatnet and Rusty's and it's great. It's just absolutely fantastic. Anyway, okay Dave. I will let you do it. Appreciate it. Again, from my end here. GW8SLL from Ki5WCA and I will be clear and monitoring until you wrap things up.

I was using the other one and I thought I was using that one and I timed it out a couple of times, but it happens, it happens. Anyway Keith, you take care and we'll talk to you again very very soon. Probably here it will be. I'm definitely going to go for the DSpan there. The El Paso one on Monday on 55 alpha. Definitely going to go for that one. See if I can do another three o'clock in the morning. Okay Keith, thanks so much for popping in and keeping all the network nice and warm and getting all the cobwebs out of it and all that kind of good stuff. So I'll say seven three and don't forget to say hi to Shirley when you next speak to her there or unless she arrives back home there. Okay I'm going to clear with KI5 WZA.

No you don't. Basically it's the sheep's liver, heart and lungs and it's all kind of minced up and mixed with some kind of seasons and different bits and pieces. And sometimes even the best haggis is also wrapped up in the lining of a sheep's stomach. And then you boil it until it stops screaming. And it's a wonderful, wonderful dish. It really is.

This is a directed social net that happens three times a day, 9 a.m. noon and 9 p.m. on the WW7 PSRG 2 meter repeater, which is located on Capitol Hill in Seattle, Washington. This repeater is operated by the Puget Sound repeater group and it operates at a frequency of 146.96 with a negative offset and PL tone of 103.5. All licensed hams and new licensees just getting started are welcome to join. If you have third-party traffic, we'd like to hear from them too. 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 limit your reports to three minutes so that I can get as many stations in as possible. Three minutes is also when the repeater times out. When you're finished with your report, please end with your call sign so that I know that you're done. Again, this is Rebecca, KK7, IJZ. Let's get this net started.

This is KA90HV. I'm doing fine. I stayed up too late last night and bus got up late this morning which was sort of not nice. And then I arrived at the gallery to find a cash drawer with no change in it. Somebody had decided to leave it bereft of coins. I don't know how they expected us to make change on cash sales. Not that we have that many, but as soon as you leave a drawer like that, that's when three in a row will come in and there will be no change. So I had fixed that. And then we had our once every two month phone sale which meant that we had to walk through that whole process. And it was in general a very interesting day. However, we sold a lot and a lot of people came in and enjoyed the harp. With that I have discovered there is a place to sit in the gallery facing the front door and that really draws people in. So that's a cool thing to know. And my hubby and I have been married for 44 years today and we gave each other nice mushy cards. And we'll go out and eat somewhere tomorrow night.

Now I see why KX2CW is calling her spot the observatory, because I got a good eye-pull of that tonight. So, interesting. I started off with going to the mall with a friend, and we had lunch and coffee afterwards. And we had a good time, snooped around in the mall for a bit. And then I came home and decided to do grocery shopping. Well, of course, I hit a couple of stores up for what I needed and managed to bring that home. But in between, however, I ended up downtown before getting home to do that chore. I ended up investigating a crowd of people. I thought there was a scene present. And it turned out it wasn't a scene at all. It was a conglomerate of city officials, or some at least, and officers talking about the possibility of something to do with renovation in part of Westlake. And I guess that's at the end of the month. So those of you who are curious about that, you'll have to check out CUNY's website to see what that's about. I have no clue.

But what happened was someone came up from behind and said that they wanted to have the police department replaced. And I said super loud, wait a minute, I'm not doing their job.

Let's see, we are southbound on Highway 9. We spent the day running around up in Bellingham because we both had the day off. So not only Friday night, date night, it was a date all day long and it was fantastic. It's nice to just have a day when we didn't really have anything that we had to do. Didn't have anywhere we had to be. Just kind of took the scenic route up there. We're taking the scenic route home. We were going to take Checkin' It drive back, but there was a bad accident on Checkin' It and so many aid cars. We had no idea what was going on, but we had to turn around and come back because the road was blocked. So I hope everyone was okay. It must have recently-ish happened because the folks that came up told us it would be at least a couple of hours before they opened the road back up again. And so we took a different way home. Oh, now the slides are the great. And I'll let Robert tell you more about our day, but we ended up eating at a restaurant in Fairhaven and we found a good ice cream spot for after dinner. And then tomorrow we're going to head south to do the initial meeting with the estate that we're going to be helping out with. So that should be a lot of fun too. A lot of driving this weekend, but Robert loves driving and I love hanging out with him and riding, so it's a good combination there. Thanks so much for hosting, Rebecca.

Woohoo! I should see them in a couple weeks. So super super excited about that. I also ordered a dot card which is a digital business card which is really cool because I just tap it to people's phones and it shares all my information with them. So I'm pretty excited about that. Jack made me a graphic which is really cool as well and uh that was great. Um I kind of lost track. Camry's holding the phone for me so my audio seems to be kind of in and out that's because I'm driving light speed and she's doing her best to hold the phone in front of my face without shoving it in my mouth. But yeah happy healthy rock and rolling. Really excited for tomorrow. It's gonna be another couple hundred miles worth of driving and I am I'm excited because tomorrow we got a ferry ride. I love riding the ferry. It's one of my favorite things. Second to twisty roads. So um and spending time with my beautiful better half here. So there you go.

You know, just a lot of knowledge out there, and it was great. And I'm burned out from it, that it was a great net. We went an hour and a half, and it was nonstop. So my brain hurts. But it was really good. And I invite everybody to come join us on Friday night to 7 PM. And just go over to my web page, or excuse me, that QRZ page, and scroll down. I'll tell you to scroll down, and you can get in there on just everything from All-Star through Echolink, all the different modes. You can get in there with that. Like I said, every Friday night at 7 PM, you won't be disappointed. Anyway, here we had some sunny out today, about 75. Very nice day out there. And the squirrels were running around, and eating, and eating the nuts. And they've got to order another bag of nuts now. That bag sure went empty fast. But I still have some left. But definitely got to order some. I still have lots of peanuts, which they enjoy. But the nuts are better for them. And let's see here. I was listening to an afternoon net.

Anyway, and that was really cool, because it had English net controls on it. And everybody else was coming in. It was pretty cool. Pretty cool net on Friday. And I went out to find out and get a better idea what that net was, because it was the name of it. I remember I've heard it before. I thought about joining it, but I haven't done it. Maybe I did it a long time ago. But anyway, really good net. And so sorry for the disappointment there. I wish I had it on the tip of my tongue, and I just don't.

Then yesterday it undertook a pretty big project. I had an entertainment center that was made out of glass that weighs like 100 pounds, and it was just too small to fit underneath the TV against the wall. So we had to put it at kind of an angle. The TV's at an angle, but that's for viewing. This is at an angle just because it had to be in order to fit, because the fireplace is too close. We had a different house where it fit just fine. And I finally got fed up with it and wanted to reclaim the space that was being taken by putting this giant entertainment center at an angle. So I got a new entertainment center, and I got a desk. And between the two now I've got a great spacious place to put all my Raspberry Pis that are running everything from this hot spot to my digital hot spot to New England's GMRS hot spot. And then I've just got a Pi 5 that can do H.F. radio stuff. Let me reset again.

And I got home and, well, I'm not sure what happened but it seemed like a little bit of everything had happened. The Zero Retries article came out today on the transcribe system I was working on, and I guess the inrush of traffic broke some stuff that I never anticipated breaking. So I had to do some quick top fixes on scripts and stuff like that, and well, I ended up breaking more stuff. So, well, enjoying listening to you guys as I found myself writing some code to try to fix some stuff, and hopefully it's fixed now, but it's been, it's been exciting. And, well, that's basically been my day so far. Not much really happened up until now, but it was like all at once. From like six to now, it's just been a go.

I worked graveyard shifts every once in a while when I was younger. And it was an interesting experience. Although I do prefer my current life where I work a day shift.

So yeah I took the shift I wanted and you know just going to have to deal with it for another six months. I think I would rather go back to days. That five percent extra pay is kind of nice, I'm not going to lie. But yeah I don't get anything done at home and that's the part that really is starting to wear on me. Because I only get two days to do anything I need to do. But yeah that's kind of what graveyard is about. Or not graveyard excuse me but swing shift is all about. But yeah all in all I don't mind it. I like the crew I work with that's the important part. Yeah that is important. I like the people who I work with. I've got a colleague who he spends part of his time working on one job site and doesn't much like the working situation there. And he spends the other part of his day on my work site. He's like wow the culture is totally different here. So you know liking where you are and who you work with makes a huge difference. When I was younger I worked a swing shift most of the time with an occasional graveyard and a number of day shifts. Swing shifts I kind of liked. You know sleep in as little as you want.

That's the website you want to look for in a repeater book or QRZ or whatever. They'll be there every night, so I think that would be quite helpful there. It certainly was helpful to me. I was like, oh wait, I was just scanning one night and I was like, wait a minute, why are they over here? Then I figured it all out. There you go. By the way, let's see, hold on a second here. So Mike, K1MDR, we have a voting scope or voter scope on the PSRG website. If you go to PSRG.org, you can see RF signals coming into our six receivers. I just did a screen cap and you are coming in really strong, almost maxed out on our Cougar Mountain and Buck Mountain receivers, 243 and 248 up to 255.

I'm glad that I'm hitting it good and strong and clear, but it's not coming back to me very clear. That's interesting. Yeah, you are, like, you know, loud and clear here. It sounds like you're in the room. There's a slight hum that I hear on this repeater, but that's just a sub-optimal tone on this one. It's like 100 hertz, which is actually audible, which is really low frequency. Yeah, 103.5 is the tone here. I think that's the hum that I'm always hearing.

I have all the PL tones and everything set in there, but I can't seem to get any response from anybody there. Do you know if that's just a one-way thing with them, or is that something that we can participate in? I have heard people participating from all over the country, but I've never heard anybody participate from Washington, let alone from the repeater that I was on. Yeah, I'm familiar with that repeater or that net. It's probably some sort of an all-star or echo link situation you got there, but yeah, I'm not sure what they got going on. Comment? Go ahead, comment. Hey, this is Justin, KK7QES. Just heard you guys chatting about that. I just came out to the shack to try and tune into the Night Crawlers net, and didn't expect to hear anyone talking on PSRG right now. My understanding is the net is run out of Chicago. It is all-star linked to that W7STR, the SeaTac Repeater Association. And I have heard Amy Ann, one of the frequent nets here, check in there as well. So I'm not sure.

Yeah, I carried a device that the chain did break, but I can't use it anymore because my eyes aren't that good. You really need to have good eyes to use this thing. But you put the chain together and you've got a little, what would you call it, a link. It's actually just a little thing that you put in there to clip it together, snap it together.

But the bike thing is, what I liked about it is I don't go fast. That's the time to get a leisurely pace. I kept finding things on the way where I'd stop. I packed my camera with me and I'd be taking pictures of this, that, and the other. That's what I'm actually editing today is what I took pictures of out there yesterday.

I even went and bought a film scanner, a Nikon LS8000 film scanner, which cost me about $2,000 or $3,000 at the time, just so I could still use film and not have to buy the digital cameras, because they didn't have the resolution back then when they first came out."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-30T03:01:45+00:00","id":27774,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":27773,"text":" They are doing that with the vinyl records too.

I'm not sure what kind it is, but I do have the lenses for it. The lenses I can't use anymore, but I saved my Pentax lens collection. I got the wide angle lenses. I got the telephoto lenses, but I never bothered to buy a good digital camera yet and see if I can adapt them over, because that was my plan someday. I got rid of the cameras, but I saved the lenses, but the lenses aren't any good. Now all the lenses are auto focused, and you've got to get a, it has to match the camera. I got basically one digital camera, and after that it's my iPhone camera. Then I got the, I'm trying to think of the name of it now. My mind is, I don't have any, what was those cameras? Those GoPro, yeah the GoPro 8 version, but I wanted to buy the 11. I was going to buy it this spring, but I'm going to wait until next year and see if a better one comes out.

Yeah, they might expect a good price on it though, right? So I wanted to talk to you about that. I've been looking at, what is it called? Hang on. Because I was thinking about an action camera myself. And it's something that's coming out real soon. I thought it was pretty cool. I cannot, that's temper out of stock. It's an instant 360 that's coming out. And I watched a whole bunch of reviews on it. I'm trying to remember which kind it was. But I'm worried, I like to, I thought, you know what, I could have that. This one has, I think it's kind of a ribbon necklace underneath your shirt. And it has a magnet on it. And you can put the camera on your shirt and it attaches on the backside. And it still has that collar around you, that necklace around you to hold it up for the weight. And the pictures were freaking awesome. They were really nice. It was a pretty penny though.

I wanted to tell you about it. And computer is slow today. Yeah, you can get the Insta360 GO Ultra. And you get some attachments with it already. But the one that really got me was it's just like a, you know, it's kind of like a Olympic gold medal type thing. It has that kind of look to it. But it fits underneath your shirt. You have to put it on your neck to put it underneath your shirt. And the camera itself and that necklace, the lance, I guess you'd call it, are both magnetic. So when they attach, it attaches to your shirt, but the necklace kind of supports the weight a little bit. And so you can have it right there on your chest and you can ride, you know, instead of being on your head or on your bike or something like that. And you think, well, that's going to cause a lot of sway. It's not going to be very stable. It's going to be bouncing up and down and everything else. But the IBS on this thing, the stabilization on this thing is freaking awesome. And you don't have to worry about that. You get a nice smooth picture. But here, let me do a reset. It has the 1 over 1.28 sensor, so it's over an inch sensor. It'll take 50 megabyte photos. It has 4K 60 video. It has 200 minutes of running time. It's waterproof. You can stick it underneath the water up to 33 feet deep. Then it has that flow state of stabilization of the six-axis gyro in it. It has a little flip screen on it so you can flip it back and forth to see if you're in frame if you want to talk to yourself or do some self-video. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi on it. And this thing has everything on it. But what's cool is it's kind of two pieces in one. You can have the whole thing and you have a flip screen and everything else. But if you want to just take the camera off, it's a little 1.5 by 1.5 inch square. And that's where it would fit on the necklace, but you'd still get over 100 hours of video recording time on the damn thing when you only have half the camera attached to you.

They try to line up on something to keep it looking stable, but if you look at the corners of the picture, like the upper left, the lower right or something, it\u00eds going to be blurred out because it just doesn\u00edt, but you know, you don\u00edt notice it because you\u00edre watching where all the action is and you\u00edre not noticing it. It comes out nice, I mean you have to use motion, motion filters if you\u00edre on a bicycle and stuff. You\u00edve got to use the right filter, the right wide angle, you\u00edve got to put the thing together right, and then it can get the shot. If it\u00eds all hit or miss, that\u00eds the problem with photography.

My favorite was when Mad TV used to make fun of Family Feud and they would do like the Sopranos edition or whatever and I thought that was funny. But otherwise, I don't know. I am wondering if I am going to really go anywhere today. I am not really sure. I got paid the other day so I got a mint of money but I don't really know. A lot of times I think of places I want to go and then my ideas are pretty corny. So I really don't know. The funniest thing was that one weekend when I thought I was going to load up on nothing but sides at Popeyes and then it turned out they didn't hardly have any. It also turned out that a lot of their commercials are just like bullshit. All through the course Radio Entertainment Network they always talk about all the nice things like come in and see us and then it is like so disappointing. I think anymore now when they advertise food it is usually pretty corny. Because come on, you don't need someone to advertise food to you. It is the same as in the old days when they would sell the cereal on ads and on the radio. They were usually the crappiest cereal. You knew all the good stuff. They are not going to advertise cookie crisps and oil crisps and the chocolatey goodyness and all of that. They are going to advertise things that are hard as bricks and sidewalks. Grape Nuts flakes is like ripping off a ginormous piece of sidewalk and eating that. They will tell you that is the greatest thing in the world. That is good that you are thinking out ways to do things with the net. That is really neat. It is a good example on the one or few days that I can actually stay.

It's a little rainy here. I'd hesitant to take the car out of the garage and it's going to be that way all weekend. Tomorrow is the barbecue in Tamarack with brisket, pork ribs, chicken, corn, potato salad, coleslaw, barbecue. It won't matter if it's like this tomorrow. I'll be out there because it's covered outside. If it's really blowing, which I don't think it's going to be, but in the event that it's always inside the lodge I can take it. I'll just have to take an umbrella with me because the line to get the food isn't really protected. The barbecue pit is for the people that are behind the counter serving the food. So they'll be alright. I've got to remember to take my mobile phone. The thing that I don't like about taking the car out is I keep it in the garage and then even when it rains, you would think after you pull the car in and the water dries off, why should that be a problem? And then you look where all the water droplets dried off and you can see like soot where the droplets were. So that's why I don't usually like to take it out. I don't mind driving in inclement weather if it isn't too severe. I've been working on this course. I am on another subject so I got that to do and this is the weather to do it in. I got one short one out of the way. I got the final and my certificate. Now I started on another one and I got two sections out of the 12 out of the way. And the quizzes, you can't progress to the next one unless you pass the quizzes. So it's pretty good. I think that it's not going to hurt to continue education and learn a little more.

Like always I woke up and gave gratitude. And you know yesterday I was really lazy so I went out for dinner. We went into the sandwich shop and my husband got some sandwich for himself and it was a sushi station. So I went into the sushi station and I got California rose and a veggie something. I stopped eating raw stuff a long time ago because of when they gave that thing about a 30 foot worm in someone's stomach from eating sushi I was like well let me just pass it up from now on. So I don't eat raw anymore. So I ate the California one for dinner yesterday and this morning I was going to have the veggie one. So when I bit into it to my disappointment it was slivered celery. I was sitting on a pack I was just taking a chance. So I'm kind of disappointed that I spent $8 for slivered celery. Anyway so I don't have much to do this weekend. I'm going to relax. It looks it's pretty cool there's no sun right now so I'm able to go in the backyard and try to most of my stuff in the backyard has dived for this summer and I tried to keep it up and you know with the heat I couldn't go out there so I'm going to go over there and clean up some stuff that kind of like passed away on me. Anyway back to you Kevin this is KN4LBF this is D. KN4LBF KM1X. Well something we all had some interesting foods to eat in the last day or so. You had your stuff. I ate at an Indian restaurant yesterday for the second time and it wasn't bad. I always I don't even dare say I want anything you know they say do you want it mild or medium or you know super hot and I just say mild I don't even want to go down that path of you know burning my face off so I had what was it home style dal. It's almost like this lentil paste and it was much more or less and you put that over rice and it's pretty tasty. That was my interesting culinary experience for yesterday but hopefully the temperatures are going to start getting cooler for you guys too. I know hurricane season is here in fact that was it yesterday that was the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina so be safe down there. Now we're going to go to George KB0MAI.

The fall, which I don't have any problems with the fall, but winter is gonna suck. In fact, I'm seriously considering, I need a surgery done. It's gonna take me a couple months to recover, and I was thinking, well, you know what? January 5th or so would be a good time to do that and then stay home for the whole winter. Not even have to worry about it. Go back to working in the spring, if that's what I choose to do. But yeah, we're just enjoying the weekend. Had some wonderful steaks last night, too.

So I'm getting a nice quiet house. And I'm just doing the online food shop over at the moment. But I may go out local to some shops, get a little bit of shopping done. And yeah, a bit of clothes shopping maybe. And tomorrow I've actually got a hospital appointment. I think here in Scotland they're trying to clear the backlog on the waiting list. So there seems to be Sunday appointments to see consultants. So I've had an issue with one of my eyes. And I've been waiting for quite a considerable time for the appointments. So I'm hoping tomorrow to get a solution. And I'm feeling I maybe need a small procedure done but nothing serious. But tomorrow obviously the doctor will look at it and we'll see where we go from there. So it's a kind of positive that I'm finally getting seen. And just talking of Pota, I did my first Pota activation last Saturday as well. I did the new Yessu ST-1XF about two weeks ago now. And I took that out and tried the Pota activation on 40 litres of rice. And I had a great time. It was fantastic. So going to be doing another one in the next couple of weeks.

It's amazing what 10 watts on CDEB can do if you put a full-size vertical up. Anyway, that's kind of what I did there. So I'm plugging away. You're right.

So if I buy a pass for next year, I can use all of this year, you know, remaining of this year and through all of next year too. So I guess I'm going to be ordering my pass now so that I can be all set for next year as well. So there we go. MM0RKN, Carrie, good morning to you. Welcome to the Cowabunga Net. How are you today?

We got the cheese, but we did not cut it, so everybody's safe. We're waiting to see what happens. Hopefully, we'll get a trip today and then tomorrow, hopefully tomorrow night, we'll get a trip to deliver in Las Vegas on Monday so we can get back Monday night to Phoenix and then my student will test out on Tuesday, but we're waiting to see what happens. I'm not sure what the trips are going to look like during this holiday weekend here. We're grabbing showers this morning because it's the shower day and then just waiting to see what we got for trips. Yeah, good game this morning. I missed it by that much. I set my alarm for five minutes before the net, but I must have hit it and then I was just laying there and I didn't realize that it had gone off and then all of a sudden I'm like, why am I awake? I looked over at the clock and went, oh, shoot, that's why. It was like I already did it in the past. By the time I got dressed and got down, I got my headset on so I would disturb my students. You had just announced that it was going to be Family Feud and you had two teams of four and I said, all right, I'm not going to say anything because that would be the odd man out, but I'll have to, if you do it again, I'll have to make sure I get in on time. I set my alarm for a little bit earlier, but yeah, so good deal. I enjoyed it and I didn't get a lot. Yeah, I had one answer that I thought was going to be good.

He'll be able to start smoking and all that good stuff. Years ago, when I was a kid, I was a drinking aid and it was 18.

No, this weekend is supposed to be pretty nice. This ain't low 80s. It's going to be humid. Today is supposed to be like 83. Tomorrow is 84. And if Kylie would get out of the way on my TV, I would tell you what Monday is. Kylie is our Fox 4 weather girl. I watch weather because of her. Anyhow, she never did move, so that's okay. Anyhow, it's going to be in the 80s, so I am finishing up, trying to finish up this damned chicken coop. You know the one I've been talking about forever it seems like? Yeah, in Texas, I don't do crap in the summertime. It's too hot. But once it gets below 85 degrees, I like to get outside. So, we worked on it quite a bit yesterday. Got a lot done. I need to paint, but it's misty out here because it's humid. Very humid. 97% humid, I think is what they said, humidity. Anyhow, I don't think painting is getting done, at least not in the morning. So, I'll have to figure out what the next game plan is. I want to stretch chicken wire around it. I made it easier myself. It cost me an arm and a leg. But I got, oh gosh, what is it? 60 inches tall chicken wire. Instead of the two or three foot sections. So, that will make it easier and stable. And we were going to spray paint it all black. Apparently, when you paint like wire mesh or chicken wire, and when you paint it black, it becomes translucent. You know, sort of. And so, that's kind of what we're thinking about doing, but I'm kind of done with this project. I don't think I'm going to spray paint it. So, anyhow, no, I'm not cooking anything special that I know of. I'm still staying on my weight loss journey, lifestyle change, whatever people call it. Got down to 199 the other day. So, I finally got below 200. It was actually 199.8 pounds, and I'll take it. I am not below 200 pounds this morning. And we won't see how many pounds I've gained back in the last few days because I've kind of took a detour and had a sweet tooth and ate some stuff I shouldn't have. So, anyhow, I'm getting back on track today. Bland food, prison rations. Yep, yep, that's my plan. Good way to lose weight. I'd like to get down to about 185. And I started, I thought I started in the 120s, I mean the 220s, but my doctor reminded me when I went to my last appointment. I was 233. So, that's a fair amount of weight to lose, I guess, in six or eight months. All right, well that's probably all that's going on here this morning. Kylie's still on TV, so I'm still watching the news.

We'd draw like a pitcher's mound with chalk on the street and then first and second base on each side, several feet away from the mound.

She lived just down the street from where I am. I told you guys lots of stories about her back in the day. She had rat problems. She lived in the co-ops. If you know what co-ops are, they're like sort of like Section 8. You have to register to get in. She had a big family. Her mom kept pumping out kids. She was one of them. She was blind. I think she was the only one in her family that was disabled. And she had pets galore. She was \u2013 her family were cats and dog lovers. They had other animals too, snakes and hamsters, maybe even rats, but hamsters for sure because I remember the one day the hamster bit a stranger in the house and Mary Ann just freaked out. She was pissed off. She wanted to kill that hamster. But the rest of her family won her over. She was outvoted. And then the funniest thing was her bigger sister later saying, I'm not going to kill the rat. No, S-T-F-U. Except she said all of it. So yeah, she was a classic character. I don't know if later she got high and got into drugs or anything. She was in the hip-hop. She was in the top radio. Well aspects of all of it. I think she liked a lot of things. She had a very good wide and was willing to broaden her horizons. I think later she got into jazz and country and other stuff too. So there you go, yeah, until she moved out of the hood. My first love I guess. And we are still cool. Although she burnt the turkey that one year, but we are still cool. I say that right, just like how I would have said when we were kids. I would have said you are cool, but you broke my brother's skateboard or just something like that. There was always something I could pick on her for. Now it's just more what she does at some of our outings with Debbie and the rest of them, all neighborhood friends. Okay, back to you Kevin. Thanks for asking. Thanks for watching."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-30T06:36:49+00:00","id":27992,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":27991,"text":" Whiskey, Judy, Brian, Echo, K.M.

So it's a nice day. The beginning of our summer, spring was very rainy on Saturdays. This was hard to get, but 14 Saturdays in a row with fall weather.

Most of the people that I am in touch with nowadays are friends that are either from high school or college. But grade school stuff, not so much. And I often talked about how I would like to put together a review of my classmates from like grade school to grade school. And then I think there are two teachers that are still away from that that I would think would appreciate being able to attend something like that. And I have had some friends that have encouraged me to organize and I just haven't quite pulled the plug yet. It would be a lot like you just said, together and it would be just like old times. So maybe I should do it before it is too late because I don't want to have to regret. And Bill, do you remember who you used to hang out the most with when you were a kid?

All right, I'm looking at the list. And I don't know how long it's going to take people to get there. We certainly don't have time for another question.
