I know I can say that to you and you can calculate zero dBm, folks, where zero dBm is one milliwatt. And what was I going to say? I forgot. I got sidetracked on one of those topics. Anyway, 38 milliwatts, I just did a reciprocal and that's 26.3, 26th of a watt, folks.

Yeah, it's a Kenwood D700 here in my mobile. Anyway, down here on the waterfront right by the ferry terminal on Alaska Street, Alaskan Way I guess it is, at the front of the OK Hotel. I've got a friend who's got a studio in the basement of the OK Hotel for two years, but there's been a little problem. You might be able to relate to this with a previous experience. Apparently two floors above there was someone who had maybe a bathtub or something, something that was causing water to come pouring down all the way to the basement and doing significant water damage at my friend's studio. And that happened not once, not twice, but three times on different occasions. So it caused a lot of difficulty and not good smells and damage to projects she was working on and so forth. Anyway, moving up to the second floor now. I was here last night with a couple of friends. We've got quite a bit of the movie done, not all of it. Anyway, I'm here to drop off some stuff. Just drop it off and be here for a few minutes. But pretty soon she'll be moved into the second floor and done with the water in the basement. Yay! Anyway, other than that, just having a good week. It's been beautiful weather today and it's supposed to be excellent, maybe even just a little bit warmer tomorrow and Wednesday is going to be good too.

And the worst thing about water damage in my book, the thing that FEMA have to, or whoever it's got to be now, instead of FEMA, would condemn a property from hurricane damage or water damage from flooding or whatever is black mold. So because that's a genuine health risk, a very bad health risk. So if you have managed to have water damage, if there could be a such thing as simple water damage that you could then dry things out and not have anything be the problem except things got wet, it wouldn't be so bad in some aspects. But the real problem is when things become damp and they start becoming a habitat for molds that are terribly poisonous. I accidentally went to full spectrum light. I just bumped my LED powered music stand light here. So my sympathies with your friend at the OK Hotel who has had their studio flooded with water damage.

You don't expect me to remember all those, I hope. That was good, very good. This is N3LMO, aka Oink Moo Oink. We have a new little member of the family. We now have ten cats. My brother rescued a little six-week-old cat, Kitten, from our yard. He almost ran out into the road, which would have been really bad, because 20th Street is extremely busy, and the cars rake up and down there. But instead, he turned into where Rob was pulling into the driveway, and ran over to Rob as soon as he got out of the car. So Rob carried him in, of course, and he is the cutest little thing. I know, I said, no more animals, but I looked at this one and said, no way, are we going to put him back out there? That's for sure. So he went to the vet today, and he is a she. So he named her Diamond, like Diamond in the Rough, which is where she came from. And she's one pound, five ounces. And she is the cutest little thing, full of energy. When she finally stops playing, she's out for about two hours. We're asleep. We've had more fun with her. And she's in good health. We have to give her a salve and her eyes twice a day, because that happens, I guess, with newborns out in the outside. And other than that, she's very good. She knows where her litter box is already. And as I said, she's only six weeks old. And her name is Diamond. She's a tan, or a brown cat, brown stripes, like a tiger cat. And she is absolutely adorable. And the other cats are putting up with us. One of our 20-pound cats likes to hiss at her. And she walked right up to him the other day and meowed as loudly as she could, right in his face. And he actually backed up. It was so funny. So, but most of them are doing pretty well with her. So that's my news for tonight. I'm very excited about it. I've never had a kitten, a true kitten before. And when I remember, you know, here she is only one pound, five ounces. And when I was born, I was two pounds and six ounces. So not much more than what she is. But we're going to have a lot of fun with her. Anyway, Joan, back to you. November to the Oscar, Mike Oscar. This is repeater station key well, November, Quebec numbers here node 6222 located in Shelton, Washington. That's adorable. When I was born, I was seven pounds, three ounces. And you're now this is your 10th feline person, and cute name, and your first kitchen. So, you know, I grew up in a farm with lots of animals, and including dogs and cats, and some of them were barn cats, you know, that just they lived outside. And just one or two house cats, I think one, one old house cat for a long time named Buzzy. And all the other cats were were were barn cats. But kittens. I mean, why are kittens and babies and puppies so adorable it's so that they can survive. Because they, they, babies and kittens and pups that weren't cute didn't survive. Anyway, take care Elaine. November three oink moo oink. This is your friend 33 from your friend the kangaroos, xenomorphs, two chihuahuas and whales. Take care. And the the last on this list is an IO from Charles Casey to sto. Yes, Charles, you did check in and you're in the log. So, and that's the end of the middle round and I'm going to go move on. It's now well after. Okay, I'm just going to say I'm starting round two, three, count three. So after daylight saving time is over and we go back to standard time.

It's too far to reach so I thought I'll just put one of my floor stands right next to me here by the window. That was a little short boom. So that's fun. I think it's cool what you're doing. I like the idea of you having your radio in your pack. It's even that close to you but you're using this other dedicated single purpose handset. And also dedicated a true push to talk. I'm using an STP, a Stump to talk. And then the built in microphones with some earbuds and headphones. I have some related to that. Soundcore is the brand and the product of Soundcore. Noise cancelling Bluetooth headphones. They have the microphones that are little pinhole microphones for the active noise reduction. But the right ear has an extra pinhole and that is the microphone. It shows up as a microphone input device when I've got it paired with one of my other devices like an iPad or one of my Macs. And I didn't even know it was there. It was an undocumented feature and I noticed it would appear as an input. People say they could hear me when I thought I had muted myself and the microphone I thought I was talking into or that my audio was not very good. And I figured out that it was my computer or iPad was choosing to use the built in microphone in my noise cancelling headphones. But it's not on a boomer or anything, Sebastian. It's just another pinhole on the headset. I'm like, that sucks. They should have at least documented that so I knew that the microphone was there. So an undocumented microphone that also happens to be really poor quality. But I suppose having ear buds that have a microphone on one of them is better than no microphone. It's there for the utility of having a microphone. Well take care, Sebastian. It sounds good. And I'm just a tiny bit envious of the new toy that you have. Alright folks, that's it. That's a wrap. Let me get out of my HP 15c emulator and back into my photos. There's my portable network graphic of the outro or post-amble as I usually call it.

Think about your okay we were on we were going on a late cruise right and we were on one of those small boats where the sleeping quarters you share right and so it's a very confined space so now I had people irritated because you have to kind of consider them when you're lighting up they might not want and they might not like your secondhand smoke so I kind of sensed that right they didn't they didn't say much to me they let me do it but I could sense they were pissed off ah we gotta we gotta put up with with his goddamn secondhand smoke so that would have been cool if I would have known about these pens because then I wouldn't have had that issue like I don't even think they're gonna tell you the truth there was one group of guys that would do these trips I don't think they're inviting me again I'm just saying I think I effed that up"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-14T04:07:47+00:00","id":60076,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":60075,"text":" You know, you talk about on the Great Lakes."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-14T04:08:50+00:00","id":60077,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":60076,"text":" Yeah, it was a...

So we went up there in the summer, we thought, well, we'll stop and see if we can find this place, see if it's still around. And it was, but it was closed. They were closed on Mondays. So we went back up there on a Wednesday and the inside is exactly the way we remembered. Everything was just in the same place. Had a lot of knickknacks and stuff like that on the walls and so forth. But their meals were just like that, very generous, very reasonable cost. And I could get my favorite thing, side pork, you know, just like bacon, but it was just side pork. And I miss that a lot.

I haven't looked to QRZ in a long time. I've got two accounts for both my callsigns, but... But I think they might be connected in one account. You go into one, you'll see them both, I think.

So I used to use it but I haven't for a good 10 years. I haven't really tried it on my blind shell. It might be a little tedious. So I've kind of given up on it but I can tell you I think I at least have a few thousand which a lot of them came from nets and HF. A good majority of your lookups will come from nets. There used to be a glitch and I don't know if they fixed it but I've noticed that with the Toronto Aries this would happen. Whenever they would refresh one when they're on the page looking up the calls it bumps that person to one and each time you hit refresh it bumps them up again and again. But what they're doing as well, so that's one way to do it. I discovered that. But what I also discovered is when they were constantly, when you used to check in the Toronto Aries it would, the site, the Aries site would automatically pull up QRZ which would bump you up yet again. So I think the first few hundred is them, is Toronto Aries. And then eventually I told Joe, because we had no idea what they were doing, Joe ended up being on the fritz and having serious beef, Joe VE3OV. So I told him at one point I said I'll hand you my... So we've never been friends since. But anyway so that's the status there. Then I think the others, like a good majority would be your net and then HF but... Each time... When you're checking into those nets, each time that they do the QRZ, because they automatically on some of the databases will pull up QRZ right away when you put your call in. So each time they're doing that they're bumping you up again. And then... I mean you would have your individual DX looking you up but they're not going to do it all day, right? They'll look you up once to... Probably while you're calling DX or while you're calling them and you throw your call, sometimes they pacify you by asking you for your call again. So they could be just as quick as what they want to do you understand, is they want to come back to you with your name. So like they've known you for years. So in order to affect that when you talk to DX they'll say, again please? And then they might throw out another again please. And then by then they might have it. Sometimes they're really fast. And depending on conditions if they hear you calling they already got your name. And then as they're doing that they're bumping you up one. So if they fix that, well that's good but they haven't fixed the accessibility of it so... They could get the NUTs.

And when I was in college I started going to the Black Hills. And things have changed over the years. And definitely I would say changed for the worse. Because coming from Chicago everything is really fast paced. And then going out to the Black Hills you can slow the clock down a little bit. But you would be heading west and you would hit a certain point. Probably Sioux Falls maybe. Maybe Mitchell. And then you wouldn't hit another McDonald's like forever. And I don't think when I first started going to the Black Hills I don't even think they had a McDonald's in Rapid City. Now with COVID everyone and their brother has these ATVs and side by sides. And I started this trend. I used to go out there and I would bring a trailer full of toys. I would bring my TW200, my Enduro. I would bring a side by side or an ATV, a couple Harleys. But I was one of the first to drive around and I would go on and get a plate for my ATV or side by side. And I would drive around on the roads trying to get to the trails. And there were some really cool trails. But a friend of mine lived on a rock road and 22 miles out on a rock road. And he was a desolate until COVID hit and everyone started buying outdoor equipment and invading the territory. But the Black Hills, I just love them. And I could, we would go, we would spend like 10, 12 days for July 4th and then go back and spend another 20 something days during a motorcycle rally there. So that's definitely one of my favorite places to go.

I've heard a lot of people over the years say that they like the Black Hills. Yeah, riding an ATV on the road is fun. I do it all the time. Here in this neighborhood. And I only found out recently how there's still like a little bit of a loophole. I mean if you're driving like a dick on an ATV and you're flying and you're not paying attention, you know just driving recklessly and a cop sees you, you are getting pulled over and you might get tickets or you might lose your bike. Right? But I've been pulled over two times on my older quad, my smaller one. I never had an issue whatsoever. They ran my name, sighed and didn't have any warrants or any issues or anything and they let me go on you know with a warning just to be safe. And there's another part in town called the Goulds which is on the outside of town, like on the outskirts of town as well. And they're allowed to drive ATVs on the road there as well. And it's not that they're allowed, but there's a farming exemption from years ago that includes farm equipment. And technically ATVs could be classified as farm equipment around here. So that's why. And before St. John's and the Goulds both joined St. John's, which is the main city here, we were our own communities that did farming and ATVs back then were exempt in this particular area. And I think that's why we get away with it here today. I'm pretty sure, I can't see any other reason why you could get pulled over on an ATV on the street and not get so much as a ticket. Or like a written warning even, like don't drive this thing on the street, it's an off-road vehicle. But if it's classed as farming equipment, then it's no different than a tractor or a rotten lawn mower or whatever. Now I have not been pulled over on my current quad, which is an absolute monstrosity of a vehicle. It's big and it's heavy and it just looks menacing from the front compared to like the small one I had before. The small one I had before was a 220, this one's a 500. And I know a 500 is not nearly as big as an XMR 1000 or anything like that. But compared to anything I've ever ridden, the stance on this thing, I mean it's really wide. It takes up the width of like a small car in my driveway. We've got a double driveway and a single driveway. And when I park my quad in the double driveway, that's where I keep it right in front of my apartment, it takes up half the driveway width-wise. So it's much, much bigger. Small one kind of, you know, it looked like a full-size ATV."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-14T05:21:18+00:00","id":60146,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":60145,"text":" It was a full-size ATV, you know, it was an adult-size machine, it wasn't a kid-size machine. But this thing, I mean, you could fit three people sitting up on the seat of this big monstrosity I've got now. And it's a lot of fun. It's a little more stiff to ride on the pavement because it's four-wheel drive all the time. You don't disengage the four-wheel drive, it's just all-wheel drive all the time. And, so yeah, it's a little more like, it wants to not be easy to control on pavement. It's just something to do with the four-wheel drive, I guess. But, lots of fun nonetheless. I'm going to increase the amount of time before my screen auto-locks on my Mac. Alright, we're going to Kevin next, VA3KKY. Kevin, what's your favorite vacation you've ever taken? And if money was no expense, what kind of vacation would you take? Well, if money was no expense, I'd still want maybe a place that's warm, but I honestly just kind of want to keep it North America. I just feel like if I went to, like no disrespect to other places, but if I went to them, I think like Europe or Australia, New Zealand, I feel extremely homesick. At least if I'm in North America, I'm still close to a lot of familiar things like radio stations and newspapers and people and friends, you know, depending on the different area code situations. So, you know, Florida has like your tropics, so does Arizona, California if you want to get away from the tropics. But, mainly I can really only tell you about the last maybe 15 years. I deal with really bad sciatica, so I can't walk and stand too long, too much. Right? That's why I don't really DJ anymore. And so when I go anywhere now, I'm mostly just going to someone else's crib. The only difference is with my blind shell, I'm a lot more confident in getting around the cities, like here in Vancouver. I already kind of know it, which is a bonus, but there's a lot of places I didn't know and my phone will tell me, right? Like, you know, going into Langley. I know nothing about going there.

And so I'm confident in that, and there's a few eating places I like to go out there. And then when I'm back, like on Main Street, like a little ways from Main Street, I like to go to the Metropolis Mall.

I don't have the mark anymore but it lasted throughout the whole trip. Then we flew to Budapest and got on a Viking cruise ship and tuned around Germany on the Rhine and we ended up in Amsterdam getting stoned at a coffee shop and that was pretty cool, that was pretty cool. That was still a new experience to me, you know just smoking around other people and all of that stuff it was pretty amazing. If no expenses are worried about then I would definitely do an around the world cruise hitting as many ports as you possibly could. That'd be fun. The nice thing about cruise ships is that you know you get on them one time and you never have to pack again and you just stay on the ship and if you have a nice room it's a great place you can go hang out all over the ship but that gets boring in a little while so you make a lot of stops going little side trips and things like that and it means that you can get all sorts of stuff if you're missing something you know all you have to do is wait a day or two you get it all.

We had our dog, and she came out in the truck, and we drove around for six weeks, visiting friends and family and sites. And that was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed that. But it was a working vacation. It was no object. I mean, I liked the idea of the world cruise. I don't think I can get my wife to do it. But I don't think I can get her to go to Japan either. And that's where I'd like to go because she's really into anime, and she's into Godzilla. So I'd like to take her over there and stay at the Godzilla hotel and visit a couple of the places there in Japan. But I don't think I can get her on the plane that long either because that's a good 16-hour flight, 14 to 16 hours. I think, which direction I'm going. If my name was no object, maybe I'd do an A-team Mr. T on her and knock her out. Give her an intravenous trip and keep her knocked out. And then when she woke up, she'd just be there. Of course, that's the kind of thing that only works once. So she'd be stuck there because I don't know if she'd want to come back. And yeah, I think that would be one of my ideal vacations there.

We'd find remote beaches and we were the only one on the beach during the middle of the week and doing some exploring and we just had a hell of a good time. And make sure you remember why you married your wife in the first place. So I'm going to put that as my top vacation. We've only gotten to do that like once every four or five years. You know, I just wish we'd do it a whole hell of a lot more. We seemed to always get in the way, you know. Travel itself, I could care less. I really could. You know, I got four million miles on the road. I was in the Navy. I've seen a lot. But, you know, I've seen every state except for Hawaii and I'm thoroughly knowledgeable about just about every state. You know, I've been there on all four corners of just about every state. And the last few years it's been five states tonight. I don't need a map in five states. You know, that's just, I can go anywhere if it's within that five state region. And know exactly where I'm going. Which is kind of sad, you know. So I don't really feel like traveling much anymore. Maybe a trip back up to Teflavik. And I've always wanted to take my wife up there and maybe spend a whole month up there during the summer months. And enjoy that because I lived there for three years and I absolutely loved it. I loved the slow pace. I loved the people. And I loved the country. So that would be kind of cool. Now money was no object. I would go with what Shepper's talking about. I'd have a summer home on the lake somewhere up in Wisconsin. Up near Green Bay or up in Minnesota in Duluth. I like the Great Lakes. It's one of my favorite places in America.

Maybe a house right on the ocean right there. And a boat at both places. I just go back and forth. Furniture would be all set up in both houses. Don't have to do a damn thing except pack your bag and fly. Not even drive. Fly up there and get off and get to your house. Two cars in each house. Just relax. Take it easy.

I've had it for about a month, a month and a bit now. So I pumped it up two weeks ago. I pumped it up the first week after I got it. It was fine. I pumped it up the second week and it hasn't gone down since. If there's any explanation for that let me know.

My brother-in-law says, he says, oh you pumped it up enough so now it's sealed on the rim so maybe it won't go down now. So we'll see. I've got an electric pump that I keep in the front trunk on the bike which still sounds weird to me because normally ATVs don't have a trunk in the front. It's fairly decent. It's about the size of a medium size cooler. You can fit a bunch of stuff in there. I've got tools and a rain jacket and a bunch of other things in there. My amp for my stereo that has to go in there. I haven't put it on the bike yet. A couple other odds and ends like tools in case you break down. An electric pump. The bike has a 12 volt socket on it which is crazy because this thing is a 2005. It's not new. It's still 20 years old but it is in absolutely immaculate shape for a 20 year old bike. There's no rust. There's no paint chipped off it. All the bars and stuff, all original paint and none of it is chipped. On the back of the bike it looks like someone backed into it with something because one of the bars has got a bend in it. Like if you backed into something like a big rock or something and put a bend in the pipe. But other than that there's no rust on this thing. The axles, the shocks, the undercarriage, the skid plates. There's no rust which I can't believe because this thing is 20 years old. But it must have been stored in a shed and parked or something for a long time. And the tires are not original."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-14T05:42:46+00:00","id":60162,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":60161,"text":" ...the abbreviated version then because I missed out unfortunately."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-14T05:43:02+00:00","id":60163,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":60162,"text":" This is Casey 2PKG.

The reason I got into talking about that was because I walked past the bike on my way back in and I checked the tire and it's still not gone down. This is like almost three weeks ago now that I pumped it up. So I went and got an electric pump and put it in there. I hadn't had to use it since. So that was my whole thing with that. And anyway, it has a 12 volt outlet so I can plug in the pump or a phone charger or like little, I got one of these little things that goes in a 12 volt outlet and it's got two USB ports on it. It's an older, slower one so I probably won't use it, but still cool that it's there, you know, that that accessory is there. And it has like a manual control for a winch and all that stuff I'll put on there. It's pretty good. I like it. Winch is not hooked up yet, but I've got to do that.

And the valve stem really helped, or the valve cover with the lithium grease helped with that. And it slowed it down to almost non-existent. It was like every month, six weeks I'd have to pump it up. But it was a pain in the ass with that one because I had to go and grab a pump from the truck and then I had to plug it into the truck and run back the bike up right to the door of the truck and then reach the pump over.

If you go to YouTube, just search my call sign and I'm streaming live. I'll be doing it, not all the time on the radio, but once I get things working the way I would like to it will be, every time I'm on here I'll have a YouTube channel going. Right now it's on my back. But you know you've been running sometimes, I'm not in here, it'll be either radios, well all radios got scanners going, but we've been working on this for a while.

And I heard you mentioning favorite vacations, well personally for me this goes way back till 1979 my parents and I and my aunt and uncle, my dad's brother and his wife, we went up the Canadian Rockies up to the glacier parks. When I was 23 years old it was absolutely gorgeous and the air was fresh and I was talking to Park Ranger I was goofing off, I actually walked out in the glacier I found I wasn't supposed to.

It's called OBS, Oscar Bravo Sierra, and it's streaming software. So if you've got multiple cameras that you can access as devices through your computer, you can set up themes in this software. One, it does your automatic streaming. You don't have to go to the YouTube website or nothing like that. You set up your YouTube account in this software, and it's free. And there's tutorials online about how to use it and how to set up scenes and stuff. But you can have a mic on your head that it can pull audio from when you're speaking, and then it can pull Echo Link audio as a channel, and you can mix the volume levels so everything is just like the way you want it. And you can set up like a scene, for instance, if you were showing your main camera showing you, and then you wanted to switch to another camera as showing something different, you can set up scenes and you can alternate between them in the software without messing up your YouTube stream. It's got all kinds of cool features. For streaming, it's exactly what it's for. So if you've got like web cams and external cameras around your shack that can be accessed through a computer, then you can add these as items in a scene. So you could do up one scene, let's say where you showed four cameras in squares. You could do up another one where it only showed your face on a main camera. You could do another one from your tower, bring that camera in if you wanted to, and you could switch back and forth and alternate just by clicking the mouse on different scenes."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-14T05:56:29+00:00","id":60181,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":60180,"text":" Cool, I think that's basically what I was looking to do.

But then once you get any video sources added, then you can make scenes and switch between them and organize them the way you want. You could do all kinds of cool stuff. You could put titles.

It's very, very beneficial. And you can actually simulcast with it as well. I'm not sure if it does Facebook. I know it does YouTube. It does Twitch. It does Periscope. It does a few of these apps. So all you do is you sign in with your account with any apps that you want to simulcast to. And then when you start a stream, you just select from either a template that already has all of the places you want to stream to in it, or you create a template and then you can stream to multiple places. So yeah, I definitely look into OBS. It's broadcasting software, right? It's open source. It's free. It's what anybody that's doing advanced stuff on YouTube, like if you're doing a YouTube news channel, Jesus, try saying that one 10 times fast, you can put like headers and footers and like transitions like what your station name. You can do an intro if you can schedule a stream. That's another cool one. So you'll get that thing comes up with a countdown that says stream starting in a certain amount of time or hours or minutes or whatever. And then once that wears down, it will automatically switch to your first selected scene. I've been learning it and there's a lot to it. I won't say it's difficult. It's very easy. You follow a YouTube video on how to start with OBS and it will tell you everything you need to know about scenes and transitions and audio setup and video device setup and all that stuff. And once you've got it all set up, it's done. You don't have to mess with it then. You can export your settings profile and save it somewhere. So if you ever need to replace your computer or set up on another computer, you just import that profile. So it is really good. Highly recommended.

I feel like I'm on the day. So the best thing I've ever taken was probably with probably the time I took my life to the Gulf. We've been to a lot of a lot of places but for some reason we seem to really love going down to the Gulf and there's a little place down there in the Gulf about an hour ago in Galveston, Texas if you all ever heard of Galveston. It's called Surfside. It's a semi-quiet beach town and we just love it. So anyhow yeah that's probably I'd say that's probably the best one because that's the last one. All my kids are grown up enough to really go out and have fun with people their age and they just had a great time and so did my wife and I and that was the first time we took somebody other than my three kids. We took my daughter's, I don't know what he is, fianc\u00e9, boyfriend, liver and husband. I don't know what the hell he is. Anyhow we took him so it's his first time going on a vacation with us and so yeah that was it. We need to do that again. It's been two years since we've taken a vacation. We need to do another vacation. Let's see the reading. All right. Well yesterday afternoon sitting there working and my wife she said, baby I see smoke. I was looking at her and I was like okay I don't see anything. And then I mean not 30 seconds later she goes, baby I see smoke. I was like what? So I look outside my back. I have, we just replaced our sliding door with a French door. It's a big glass French door. And so anyhow my dad's got the sign there so I look out and showing off there's smoke everywhere. What the hell? So I go out in my backyard because I'm looking at it and I don't see anything. So I ride out the front yard and I look over because I see the smoke dripping my way as soon as I go out and I live right next to a rather large field, well a lot of fields, but this one particular field that's fenced in is around 24 to 28 acres, maybe around 30 acres. And yeah it was on fire. It's a house and a street away. So that's pretty darn close. I got videos while we was working. One person's house caught on fire but Jacob and myself got over there at the fire extinguisher, put it out and then something in the shed blew up. Come to find out it was a fire extinguisher that was in the shed. And so we ran out of there and just as we ran out is when the fire department was showing up. So they saved the guy's house which was good. The other houses that was right next to it, they got scorch marks on the side of them. That's how close it came to burning down three or four houses. And then all it had to do, and all it had to do was just jump over the street and my house would have been gone. I'm going to take a quick break. So that's Fall in Texas. Sitting there, everything's nice, beautiful, hot, Fall day. Next thing you know you got three houses, one on fire, two that's close to being fire, about 30 acres burnt down, and I don't know, 100 or so firefighters and fire trucks and everything here. So it was an interesting afternoon to say the least. And then I think I mentioned the work upgrade that we had on my system that I managed. Everything went great until last night I tried to run an overnight update. I got pinged on my phone, woke me up around, I don't know, a little up to midnight because I had it set to run at 1 a.m. Eastern. And yeah, so I spent about four and a half hours fixing that. So yeah, I'm a little exhausted today. That's why I haven't been on, I've been listening. Anyhow, so that's how my last 24 hours have been, kind of interesting. With that, I do say good morning. I'll be on, Darryl, but to be honest, if I pass out and if you call and I don't answer, chances are I probably passed out. I told my boss I was going to take a couple of hours late this morning, so in case I needed a nap, I could. With that, I'll send it back.

I'm going to put them on the fenders, the rear, like the mudflaps on this bike.

And I was listening to you and Josh talk, and I think you were talking about something like a Citrix system, a client server system, which I had some experience with. We were always looking for ways to centralize the cost of workstations. Every start out, everybody had their own PC. So those systems let you put all of those workspaces in one big computer or several. And then all you had was a screen and keyboard and a mouse. And Sun had a system like that. And I was looking at it for home use, because it did a couple of things that were really nice. One, it could use PC software, so the boys could use games and stuff like that. And the second thing, it had these cards. It's like a, you know, a key for a hotel room or something like that, a credit card. And you put it in, and up would come your workspace. And then at any time, day or night, you could pull it out, your workspace would go away. You could fly across the planet, put it in the system in India, and up would come your workspace. And I said, oh, that's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. We never did it though. Everybody wanted their own computer, and I relented. But I thought about it real hard for a long time. Because you can pack a lot of power in that one, you know, the one server cabinet, and have all these clients remotely hitting it. And for some businesses, that made a lot of sense. It really did. It's difficult. It's difficult to take somebody's workstation away and give them something like that though. It really is. Back to you. V01 UKC. This is KC2.

I was wrong. It was Sun Microsystems, the system I'm talking about, not Oracle. You're talking about the same system I am with those smart cards, or you could do a physical login with a username and password. But yes, the terminals were very small. They didn't have hard drives in them. They had RAM and a processor and whatever, but everything was user-based, and it would go to that server. And it was pretty instant. It would boot into the system, and then you were on a lock screen, and then when you logged in, all your windows would stay open, all your files were accessible. It was like you were sitting in front of your own computer, and you could be somewhere else. And you just used that card, what were they called? Sunflowers or something? I can't remember, man. I know I watched a few videos. It was a series, and these were long videos about how to configure the server and then the workstations and how to set up the accounts. Because I'm trained in Windows network management and network infrastructure, so I'm familiar with things like Active Directory, well, mainly Active Directory for file sharing on a server. You'd have an empty server or a Windows server, and then all your files would appear to be local, but they weren't. They were coming through the Active Directory and through path mapping and stuff like that. So it's years ago since I did all that stuff, but I've got advanced knowledge into TCP, IP, and the older network protocols like IPX, STX, and all of that stuff. I mean, I did the brunt of my network training in the early to mid-2000s, so I mean, it's dated now, but all the protocols and everything are all still the same. So I was actually thinking about maybe taking out a student loan, and I've been hemming and hawing about this. That means I've been back and forth about the whole idea because it would put me in student debt again, which I don't currently have. All my student loans are paid off now. So that's how I know I could get another one if I wanted it. But I was thinking about getting into Internet security and threat detection, and possibly taking that on. But then I was thinking maybe there's no demand for that here in Newfoundland, and maybe I'd be in the same situation where the knowledge I got now would get me a fairly good job outside Newfoundland, but the same thing would probably apply to Internet security and threat detection. So I've kind of debated against it more so lately, but I thought about adding another service to my repertoire actually, and that being data recovery because I've been playing around with that a bit lately, and I actually took some older hard drives, some SSDs out of some computer."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-14T06:32:01+00:00","id":60216,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":60215,"text":" Some SSDs out of some computers around the house here because I've got like a bunch of computers kicking around and I've upgraded pretty much Every laptop and desktop that I've got kicking around here I'll have SSDs in them to summer quarter of a terabyte, you know, 250 gigs some of them are upwards of a terabyte But they're these like two and a half inch Like what would normally be laptop internal SSDs, you know that still the size of a laptop hard drive But I've been plugging them I've been plucking them out of computers over the last few days and Just putting them into this adapter that's hooked up to my Mac and pull in any relevant files off them So I've got a little small little stack of these SSDs that I can just plug into this adapter and basically use them like USB sticks Only they've got you know, they're SSDs.

Here locally, let's say there's probably a couple of companies doing it, but I bet they want an arm and a leg To do it and if I didn't want an arm and a leg, perhaps that could be another Another way to make some money here locally Been thinking about it And I think it'd be a good idea at least, you know to advertise the service on my on my business Facebook page Go to bill next and 9of you how's everything bill?

Well, doing good. Had to stop at the truck stop, use the restroom, get some water. Just got a little tired. Didn't get a lot of sleep yesterday, but I'm going to try to make up for it today. But just getting through Salt Lake City here, just on the south side of it. And 418 miles to our first stop there, which is going to be, I forgot the name of the street, but it's in Las Vegas. And then after that, we head down to California. And we'll find out later today if we're picking up a dispel or if we're going to pick up at one of the other locations. The next tool would be if we got another cot beverage and it wasn't ready until tomorrow morning. And that would give my student an opportunity to see everybody, his family, and we got an appointment set up from this Friday. As long as he keeps his score under 50, it should be no problem. And I'm hoping to get my truck back either on Wednesday, hopefully Wednesday, because I would need to get a load Wednesday night that could deliver Thursday in order to be back in Phoenix by Thursday night so he could test out Friday morning. Because if it doesn't test out Friday morning, then he's not so well. He'll have to wait until Monday. He's already been away from home. I mean, he's been, we've had several trips down to California. Each time we go down there, he's had the opportunity to visit with his family and with his girlfriend. But he's tired. He wants to get back home. And I want to get him home. But I also want to get my truck back. I was thinking about, you know, leaving him down in California if they were able to test him out there. And then just come back myself, pick up my truck, and then go home.

It's got that nice heavy metal band on there that makes it, you know, feel like a substantial thing. And just a great all-around piece of tech. I wish they could put batteries in their phones and tablets that would last as long as what the watch does. I mean, over time. I think my phone battery health is already 85%.

You know, I stopped doing that at night and I could bring my way down and plug it in and I look at it and it's an A, so I plug it. I put it on low power, I light my watch and I can charge my watch on Monday and then charge it again Wednesday night. And still I could probably go until the morning. But what I do is I turn my phone off at night and I turn my watch off at night. I got a home phone but I don't leave them on around the clock. Anyway, that's the wrong thing to hit the P2T on this radio. But that's what I do and it works out for me. But the technology is there. I mean, why would you want something that's going to last so long? You want them to buy something new or to go to the Apple store and get the battery replaced. I don't know how to say it. I'm not going to pay for it for a year. Now I can't see. I don't want to pay for it. Right now I just don't want it. As long as it works I'm going to hang on to it. I don't know what series of watch I've got. My display has been scratched. But the screensavers I paid for, they would come off anyway. We tried them on our watches. Maybe it's just because it's up in the air so to speak. It's not like the phone kind of... I've got the same screensaver on my phone I got from day one. No issues. But I got screensavers on my HT's, you know, on the displays. That way when I sell them I just peel it off and I can do close ups and it doesn't have scratches on them. So it makes them a little bit more valuable. Wait, what else? I forget what I was going to tell you about. Anyway, I just got my hands here in some dishwater. That's always a lot of fun. And it's still cloudy here. There was no sun yesterday. It was like 6 up to 63 and there's still no sun today. I don't know, that storm came through that went up to the northeast and caused flooding.

They're called Apple Watch cases. It's like a thing that snaps on to the front of your watch and gives it a different look. You can get them in all different colors, metallic looking, black, different colors. They have a hard plastic screen protector built into them that are made to snap right on over the watch. That protects the body of the watch itself and the screen. It's not those little stick-on screen protectors. It's just like it's kind of like hard plastic built into the little cap. It's almost like a little cap and it snaps on to your watch. Then you use a different band and you can completely change what your watch looks like. I thought they'd be bulky looking, but they're really not. They actually look really good. I don't know if you can get them for the Ultras or not, but when I used the regular size watch, that's what I had. It worked quite well. In regard to the radios, rather than the screen protector, I've seen these little, it's almost like a little pouch. You can put it in, but it's like a hard kind of shell pouch. You drop your radio in it and then there's like a little flap that goes over the top of it so your antenna can still stick up. That's what I'd like to have for carrying my radios around. I had a little pouch, I still have a little pouch for my 92 and it snugly fits the radio. You can't just pull the radio out of it. It's kind of like on there tight. You know what I'm talking about, those pouches. This thing is like a little case and it's got like a magnetic flip up and it can hold different radios of different thicknesses and you just flip it out and pull the radio out and use it. Another cool thing I saw recently are chest packs. That's something I'd never thought about before either, but like for carrying gear when you're riding an ATV or a bike or something. It's like a forward facing backpack, but it's small. There's enough room in it for a CCW, a flashlight, your keys, your wallet, stuff like that. But they've also got a handheld radio pouch on them.

But still, the displays get scratched when they're in there because things get between the case and the screen, so that's why I put a protect on them.

It's like a, almost like a fanny pack but it's kind of square and like, you know, it snaps behind your back and it just hangs on the front of your chest.

It keeps your connection alive to your live stream like YouTube or any of the rest of them that it supports. I know it definitely supports Twitch and YouTube and maybe even Facebook. I don't know.

Because that's really not accurate with all the cool radio stuff. But kind of like having a channel. When you run a net or something, that's what I'm saying, like as a net controller. How cool would it be to have OSB? I always say that right. Anyhow, I'll have that up and running. You could have like Gray's trivia net and stuff like that. You can actually factor all that into it and make it interactive for those who want to have visual along with audio. Which I've always thought was a cool idea. And that was something I'd love to develop. But mornings is just so rough on me to do anything because of work. But yeah, that's an idea I'm looking at. I played with it a little bit before my whole computer took the dump. But I am shopping for a new one. We decided that it's time. It's nice having the other electronics I have. And we have a computer, but it's not my computer. You know what I mean? It's not my own personal. I think a computer is like a phone. It's very private, personal. Kind of like a diary or a journal. Anyhow, I don't have my own one now because that one took a dump. So I am looking for another one. I'm looking for a good deal because I also want to go ahead and add some more storage. Something like a raid drive or something like that if I can find something at a decent price. Anyhow, yeah, stream labs. Stream labs if you want to do any kind of live streaming over Facebook or Stitch or Twitch or Discord or any of those things. So there's always that option. My wife, she looked at David's Ham Shack. And she goes, oh, you don't have all that stuff. I'm like, yeah, that's because I'm a newbie. I have a couple of two meters, the Kenwood 440, which I don't really use much because I still haven't gotten a general because I haven't finished studying for it. So anyhow, it's impressive to see all that equipment, my wife said. And I told her, yeah, see. And I told her, you don't have to pay much for this. $5 here, $10 there. I said, if you want me to just start picking some things up, I can start doing that. And she didn't buy that. $5 here, $10 there. She didn't believe that at all. I tried anyhow.

So I've got to upgrade that repeater to the 3.0 version and it'll perform better. I'm sure it's a high tera repeater and that connects to it's a high tera DMR repeater actually. But it's configured for analog and then the controller is just a laptop running the All-Star software and then that communicates with the repeater and gives it all its programming information and whatnot.

You do need to hook it to a computer with a programming cable. So you might need to get one of those if you already don't have a Bofang programming cable. And basically what you do is you download a new firmware for it. So essentially it erases everything that's in it, all the menus and everything that it had in it from the factory. And then it adds a whole bunch of cool ham radio stuff. Expanded bands, you can listen to HF, you can monitor CB. You can even transmit on those frequencies too. If you want to put a CB antenna or something on it, or a long wire, something tuned of course because it doesn't have a tuner. I mean it's a HT. But you can listen to shortwave on it, you can listen to SSB. There's all kinds of crazy stuff you can do with it. But after you flash that custom firmware, it doesn't come that way.

Yesterday was Columbus Day here in the United States. And it turns out that Columbus Day didn't come around until 1891, I think. And there was a lynching of about seven or eight people. I'm thinking seven or eight. There might have been as many as 11, but there was some kind of issue with some Italian citizens or United States citizens of Italian descent down in New Orleans. And some of them had been cleared or whatever, but there was a whole bunch of people that got together and went down, got them out of jail, and did a mass lynching. And that ended up creating a rift between the United States and Italy. And Italy was talking about maybe going to war with us. And the current president at the time decided to create Columbus Day for the Italians. I think that may have helped invert a war with Italy back in the 1890s. But I didn't know that. I didn't know that's how Columbus Day got started. You know, Columbus, I think Washington, D.C., is in the, what's the, Columbia, District of Columbia, which is, you know, basically named after Columbus or in recognition of Columbus and discovering the new world here. So that was a little bit of history. Maybe we could talk some more about that tomorrow. But that was yesterday when you guys were celebrating Thanksgiving up there in Canada. We were celebrating Columbus Day, which the post office was closed, so I didn't get a chance to get my stuff from the post office yesterday. That was very disappointing because I made an effort to get to the post office yesterday and I couldn't get my stuff because it was closed. But I'll pass it back to you there. 73, catch you getting ready tomorrow. This is Repeat. Yeah, cool, Bill. The air post office is like semi-open here in Canada again. They're calling it rotating strikes, which means there's still a huge backlog from the last couple of weeks of the strike. So they're probably working through that. And then Christ only knows that they're going to go on strike again, like a full strike. So God only knows what's going on with our mailman, but hopefully it will all get cleared up soon enough. But the way it's looking right now, still kind of shaky. Our local post office was open this morning, though, but it may not be tomorrow. It may not be for a week. It's so uncertain. Postal Service here in Canada, they're negotiating themselves out of not having jobs anymore because the government is already considering privatization for the post office. And then they're complaining and they're needling over money all the time. It won't matter a row of crap because their collective agreements won't even exist anymore if it gets privatized. So then they'll be working for whatever they get or they can quit. And I think that's unreal. I mean, they know that Canada Post is already hemorrhaging money and they want increases, they want additional benefits, more hours, seniority flexibility. I mean, this is all stuff they've already got, but they want more and more and more. And it's always more and more and more with Postal Workers here in Canada. It blows my mind because they're going to complain themselves out of a job eventually. The government has had enough. I mean, they don't even want to keep it going anymore. They want to privatize it. And if that happens, then they'll regret everything they did. Next up, we're going to Chuck, KA4HI, for final comments."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-14T07:19:14+00:00","id":60258,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":60257,"text":" Yeah, well, you know, you've got to do what you've got to do to get the money that you need.

So-so is on the back of the loveseat, and Shadow is stretched out, taking up his normal cushion and a half on the couch. Man, just looking at the size of him compared to the other two cats, it's kind of astronomical. Shadow's not asleep. He just looked at me when I said his name. But they're all doing good. Everything is good. Went on a nice ride yesterday on the quad. Lot of fun. I tell you, this thing can get in places that the previous one just could not accomplish. And it's a lot of fun. It's a much bigger machine. It's so large, actually, that you can sit three people straight up on the bike. Mind you, I would never carry three people, but the machine is actually big enough that I could if I wanted to. Other than that, it's starting to get cold up here. And winter is coming. 47 degrees this morning and windy, so it's quite cool out there. But, you know, take it as it comes. And I was eating some beef jerky. Well, actually not beef jerky, I guess. Let me reset."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-14T07:33:37+00:00","id":60271,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":60270,"text":" Alright, repeater always has to say the time, you know, when I unkey. It's 12pm here. Yeah, so over the weekend I made some jerky, but not from beef, from moose actually. And I had a roast, it was 2 or 3 pounds I guess. And I sliced it up, you know, half thick, relatively thin, into strips. And then I marinated it overnight in a combination of pickle brine from Dill Pickles and teriyaki. So I marinated it for almost 2 days I suppose. I put it in Thursday evening and it wasn't done until Saturday. And then I put it in the air fryer and dehydrated all the moisture out of it. And then I hung it, let it dry, let it sit. And I tried some yesterday and it was absolutely fantastic. Just like beef jerky, you know, moose and beef are very, very close together. Moose has a little bit of a distinct taste, but still the same. And we get lots of that up here every year because I know a few people that hunt moose. And they've always got bunches of it that they're trying to give away because moose are very, very large animals. I think it would be up to 1,500 pounds, up to 600 or 700 pounds of meat come off of one. So there's always lots of moose. So I figured I'd try it. So I thaw out a roast and sliced it up. And first time I ever made beef jerky, but it came out fantastic. Even better than anything you can buy in the store because it still had a juicy texture to it. But it was dry and it was just the pickle and teriyaki made such a very unique flavor, which is delicious. So when I checked in, I had a big piece of it in my mouth. Other than that though, everything's going good. Glad I managed to get in here and say hello to you this morning. With that, I'll pass it back to you and say 7-3 to you, everybody in the group.

Why eat the snake if I can just eat the chicken? So that's kind of how I feel about it. But I get it. And it sounded really good. So I'll have to get some more insight on that. Because that's my thing now is beef jerky. You buy it. Some of it's hard. You can't even pull it apart. And then some of it's not got a great flavor. So you got my interest up on me making it myself.

I had no adventures today. I'm a working stiff but I will take a few minutes and drop her off and that's about it. I'm just catching up with my email today is my Monday.

I still feel bad and now I realize I would say prayers before we eat in memory of those poor things that gave me the ultimate sacrifice.

And so that's our first freeze of the season here at the lake. It's been cold here, other parts in the Spokane area. But here at the lake, the lake moderates the temperature a little bit. But last night, the air temperature won over the water. It's 39 degrees right now. It's still pretty chilly. But we have nice hard shadows. The lake is calm. Yesterday the wind was blowing so hard. It was just no matter where you went, it was cold. But today now it's really pretty out there in the sun. And the lake's calm. And so anyway, just kind of getting all of our ducks in a row for the last minute getaway on Friday morning. So today it's not a big deal, but it's just make sure that the air pusher and the tires is correct on the car. We were going to take the traverse up to Canada a couple of weeks ago. And that got canceled for other reasons. But in the process of getting the traverse ready to go, I even checked the tire pressure in a long time. They were so far off. So I've got to check the tire pressure in the EV to make sure that they're correct also. And I learned something interesting about our Volvo. It was in for service. And I asked them if they rotated the tires. And they said, no, we don't rotate the tires. And I says, what? No, you rotate the tires. The front tires and the back tires are different sizes. And whoa, OK, no, we can't rotate those puppies. But that's just a little fun factoid there that I did not know before. Back to you, Rebecca. 70s, everybody.

Anyhow, it's just a relaxing day over here in Boston. Today is day one with three days off. So it's going to be a relaxing and slowly starting to clean up the house and organize things to pack and move. As well as probably boiling some water and pouring it down the drains because there's been a couple of fruit flies hanging around here. I don't think it's from any food I left around. I'm usually pretty good about that. So I think they're hiding in the drains. So I'm going to boil some water and pour that down there because I've heard that helps. Also going to look through the cupboards for some apple cider vinegar and see if I can set up a little fruit fly trap. So yeah, just a relaxed day. Chill at the house, watch some TV and pop into the nets. Hope everyone's doing well over there. It's been raining and cold and wet over here. Kind of reminds me of home.

So that's part of the organizing, is just gathering up all of my stuff and laying it on one couch so I can figure out which bag I'm going to pack it in. Because I'm bringing everything back to Seattle for the most part, except for the vital stuff that I'll leave around until I finally move out of here. But that is the plan. I'm not sure when it's going to go through, hopefully beginning of next month. And then there's always a gap between when your transfer is accepted and when you actually start there.

And I think I've got my all-star node dialed in fairly well. I'm getting sort of a feel for the WiFi environment, which really affects both All-Star and Echo Link. And otherwise, I'm just, as I say, I'm kind of getting settled in. I might take a trip up to, looks like I will be taking a trip here in a couple of weeks to Veracruz, which is on the Gulf Coast of Mexico. And then probably a trip up to Arizona to visit with some friends there. And I'm considering spending the spring in France. I can stay up to 90 days as a non-EU citizen.

But the one thing I do remember about Veracruz is you would go to a cafe and after you got your coffee you would ding your little, ah, lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo your spoon on the side of the cup and people would run around and fill up your cup with milk.

We do do some sweeping. We do, we have both brooms and stick vacuums in various areas of the house. It started whenever my nephew was little, he was obsessed with vacuuming, and so I got a whole bunch, not a whole bunch, but I got a few different kinds of vacuums for him to use and he would just, he loved to vacuum. And turns out, he still does. We have stick vacuums and brooms in different areas of the house because we have a house bunny who sheds like nobody's business. We have two cats who shed as if they are trying to, I don't know, cover the house in fur, provide insulation for the entire house of fur every day. And then Andy, my little potato dog, she sheds so much. There's so much hair. How does this much hair come off of the little dog? I don't know. But her hair doesn't create tumbleweeds, but between the rabbit and the two cats, whoo, that cat, yeah, the rabbit, like a big chunk of hair comes off because he sheds so much, and then it just kind of like gathers all the cats' hair. So it's just always, it's just constant, constant, constant, constant. But Henry, it's fall. Those of us who enjoy it not being hot, this is our time of year. This is it. Yes, energized for sure. Have a wonderful day, Henry, and enjoy vacuuming. It's worth it. They're worth it. 7-3. All right, Henry was the end of that list. Yes, Henry was the end of that list. Let's keep it going.

They used to have like where they would take us to jazz festival in various cities across the country, and they would put us up in tents, campers, because we would sleep over at where the festival was taking place.

I got close to 40 bags still, so I'm good there. Hooked the big vac up to the exhaust on the pellet stove. I learned if I put that in there and turn it on, it sucks out all the little cracks and crevices where ash is built up through the season and stuff. Kind of keeps from having to tear down the whole machine. Still go in and blow out the motors and all that kind of good stuff. I do my own maintenance on my stove, and it's going on 20 plus years, knock on wood. Only had to buy one motor, and that was cheap. Went down to good old Ranger, and you can get all the motors and parts and pieces that you can ever think of for these stoves that are out there. Old companies make it think like, oh, you got to buy through them. No, you don't need to buy through them. It's out there. You just need to research it and find it. It's a heck of a lot cheaper. And yeah, once I start using my stove, it's a comfortable 65, 70 degrees from one end of the place to the other. That's about it for that there. Rabbits are still doing their thing. Kind of moving stuff around. Went out and fired up the old girl, which I mean is the old Eddie Bauer. She fired right up doing good. So get her all in her eyes and hooked up the battery tenders. That's what I got going on today. Battery tenders on the motorcycles and on the cars and on the boats. Or I should say batteries. But anyhow, everybody have a good day. Better tomorrow. Go see 70.

Tomorrow's going to be nice too, so people get out there if you want to get out, because this is good. So right now I'm on my Kia Soul that's got the Kenwood D710 in it, and the other radio that I checked in on recently in my car, the D700, the audio in that is not as good, the transmit audio, something with the microphone, I don't know. I'll have to try swapping things around here a little bit. I know this is putting out better audio. But anyway, beautiful day, and last week I got a couple of chainsaws and some other things from the Shoreline Tool Library, and they asked that everything is returned in condition like when you took it out, and when I took it out, the chainsaws were like beautifully clean. And now that they've been used, they're kind of clogged up with sawdust here and there, a little bit of chain oil and all that kind of stuff. So I started cleaning these up last evening, but I got a late start. Someone had invited me out to lunch, and that ended up taking a long time. So I didn't get started with cleaning this equipment until about 4.30 or 5. And the sun started setting on me before I got done, so I'm out here again to finish it so I can get this stuff turned in today, probably about another hour's worth of cleaning, and making sure I've actually got everything. Well, I don't even know, I checked out some wedges for splitting wood and all that kind of thing. So hopefully I've got all that stuff in my vehicle here.

I think we ought to be trained to be retired, you know, because nobody ever told me when I was retired from work that I would be the busiest I've ever been in my life, and it's been one of those unbelievably busy days today with so many things to sort out. And oh dear, many professionals who are not doing their job and not putting on information is untrue. But yes, there we go, that's another story for another day. And so I sought people out, and I've been asked to do another communication badge for the Scouts in January, and I spoke to somebody about it and sent me a message asking if I'd do it, and I said yeah, no problem, so I love encouraging the kids to do it. Ah well, we'll get in touch in the near the years, and make it bloody worth it, you'll be in touch with me now. It's going to take some sorting out. Last time it was just less than an hour, which very nicely fitted in with the pre-health and wellness net, and I think it was Doug and Amy very kindly stepped in and helped out. This time there's a two hour slot, because it's the older, I think it's Cubs, I'm not sure if it's Cubs or the Scouts, I think it's probably the Cubs. Which actually was quite fun, the last one was 2023. So it means that a lot of the kids that are going to be doing it this time in January will have done it back in 2023, so yeah. So I was trying to get that organised and initiate people to get it done sooner rather than later, once it's all organised and we can sit back and relax and enjoy Christmas. And then in the UK, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, Radio Sceams is the only word I can describe it. The governing body, the RSGB, the same as your ARL and the actual regulator, the Ofcom which is like your FCC, have decided that they're going to change the call signs for all the people like myself who have the intermediate or the middle licence. It used to be 2 in 1s or 2 in 0s. We're now going to be M8s and M9s. Why? Why the change? Nobody can tell me. It's ridiculous. And of course they announced it, they opened up the automatic portal for people to do it online.

So of course it's like a feeding frenzy. All these, normally very very sensible people are all rushing out to change their 2E0 call sign to their entire call sign. Why? I mean the problem is going to cause you, the other thing is when you do that, any prior licenses, the foundation one that you originally started with, are wiped out, they void them. So everything with QIZ is going to be a nightmare because you're running a call sign. You need to let everybody know. It's like we don't have to do it now, it's voluntary at the moment, in two years time we'll be forced to change it whether we want to or not. So I thought yeah okay fine, I'm just putting it at the moment to take me the full license and what I'm hoping is obviously my 2E0, everybody knows me how it's 2E0, I'll be forced to change that and hopefully before I'm forced to change it, I'll get a full license and I'll get a nice new call sign. Over here in the UK we have twice a year they have new car registrations, there's two letters, two numbers which is the date thing and then the suffix of three letters. And of course there's this spike twice a year in the car sales because everybody wants a new registration. Why? So the same with this new call sign.

I just found out today they are going to condemn my transmission. So, don't know how long it's going to take them to put a new transmission in it, but I had to fight with them a little bit on this one. They didn't listen to me, which did not surprise me. And, yeah, I was not too happy about that. So, they told me it was going to be a maximum of $500 if they didn't find anything wrong with the transmission. And then suddenly that turned into almost $800 and I about threw a fit to ask them why haven't they serviced it yet. Because that's what I brought it in here for them to do, is to service my transmission. And they're like, oh, we thought you wanted us to diagnose it. I'm like, no, I told you the issues I'm having with it and I want it serviced. And if you found it was bad, then replace it. So, I had to fight with them a little bit. They were trying to do me wrong and the bad thing was I was doing the math in my head faster than the guy was doing it on the calculator, which was really getting him all flustered. It's one of those neat little skills I have. I can crunch numbers pretty quickly in my head. So, yeah, I don't know when I'll get my truck back, but I'm on the HT. So, my little critter report.

I'm pleased to report that from vacation, I received an email earlier today from Burnus. He did give me one piece of content to share and we will cover that. And then we're going to be moving into a piece I put together on this weekend, a astronomical history. And then we'll be taking check-ins and entertaining calls throughout.

It's designed for full reusability and future Mars missions. Some of the highlights from this launch, booster 15 flew for the second time with 24 reused ones, perfect hot staging and boost back sequencing, the booster hovered, shut down, and fell into the gulf for disposal, and ship 38 continued to orbit, released eight dummy Starlink V3 simulators, and executed flawless high heat reentry before a planned splashdown near Western Australia."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-14T18:07:47+00:00","id":60551,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":60550,"text":" That really does sound quite spectacular.

The two comets are C 2025 R2, titled Swan, and C 2025 Alpha 6, titled Lemon. Both were discovered this year and each could reach magnitude 4 brightness. Sounds pretty exciting.

This is typically the big show in October and you know with as we've already mentioned the new moon this will be among the highlights for October's night sky observing for sure. The Orionid meteor shower stands out as one of the best. Peaking around October 21st, the Orionids deliver fast bright meteors that often leave behind long glowing trails. So those persistent trails are always fun right if you got a clear sky. Sometimes even fragments that flare and persist for several seconds. This would be cool. I'd be curious to know if any of you are you know as we take additional check-ins if any of you ever listen for audibles or if you monitor the noise that any of these showers make on the radio."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-14T18:27:37+00:00","id":60580,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":60579,"text":" So I will also point out, and we talked about this last week, one of the things that makes the Orionids kind of special to them is that they're the remnants of Halley's Comet.

And that's kind of cool when you consider we won't get another shot at seeing the comet itself until 2061. So for the best viewing of the Orionids, find a dark spot away from city lights and look toward the constellation Orion in the early morning hours, ideally after midnight and before dawn. And as we've already mentioned, under ideal conditions, you might have a zenith hourly rate of about 20 meters per hour. This is repeater station kilo kilo. OK.

You just stick an IDS on the tail end of the front end of the constellation name, and you get the name of the meteor shower. So I know it's only now just beginning, and it doesn't really peak until November. But I would be remiss if I didn't mention the torrid meteor showers that are coming up here right quick.

They unfold in two waves. You've got the southern torids, which peak around November 4th, and the northern torids, which follow up about a week after that, peaking around November 12th. That's not to say you couldn't see stuff even in October relative to those two streams. The torids are known not for speed, but for being slow and sometimes very bright meteors producing brilliant fireballs at times. So one of my favorite occurrences was a fireball that was very likely a torrid. I suppose it could have been a sporadic, but the timing was right. So these things are visible throughout October and November, and while they may not be as fast and impressive as the Perseids or the Geminids, they can often be more dramatic. So gear up and maybe this time of year, at least in the United States, this is a great time of year to be outside at night. So it's not cold anyplace really.

Why do we talk about the torrids, the southern and the torrids northern? Well it's a great question, but both streams, they're believed to come trace back to Comet Enki, okay? So you know it's like, well alright, they're from Comet Enki, but why are there two streams that we're passing through dust from?

In fact, I would have guessed that this was in Ursa Major if I had to guess before I researched it. But it's in Canis Venecetae, the hunting dogs, and I'm talking about M51, the Whirlpool Galaxy.

He had just built the world's largest telescope at the time. It became known as the Leviathan of Parson Town. This is over in Ireland.

So that might be something to look at because the other problem is that people aren't necessarily getting their music off of optical drives. I know even when I have purchased CDs and I have recently, I pretty much immediately rip them to my computer so that I can listen to them without the drive in place out on the center of music.

Yeah, the squirrels were running around out there and I got a bunch of more nuts than peanuts. And, you know, I made the mistake of not leaving any peanuts out there. And Rocky the squirrel came up to the door and stood on his hind legs and looked in at me. So naturally I had to get up and go put peanuts for him and he was happy after that. But I don't know who's got who trained. It always gives me, kind of makes my day in a way. And the other squirrels are chasing each other out there too. So good day for that. Yeah, and I also got a, in the mail, I got another tablet which I immediately put up and used as a weather station now for Los Angeles because I've gone to, you know, the Papa system down there and I want to see what the weather looks like, you know, in that general area. So now I got a weather station here on a tablet for LA, a weather station for the Bay Area. And then I got Seattle on my laptop on a Cairo 7 pinpoint weather which is great. I would recommend it. Yeah, then I got a weather radar map of the west coast so I got, you know, the up and down covered. Kind of cool, you know, and, you know, I just enjoy just, you know, looking up there and seeing what's going on with the weather. And I still have my other tablet that has the earthquakes on it, California Seismograph I recommend. And it just kind of through the day lets us know what kind of earthquakes. Just we have a whole bunch of 1.0 earthquakes and then it would go, you know, 2.0 and then times 3, 4, 5, and sometimes 6 or 7 when it makes a really loud warning noise. So it's kind of fun to have these up and just kind of see what, you know, what's going on in the outside world. So with that I'll turn it back to the net. Hope everybody out there is doing well.

So it's the one I will use traveling because I can connect it directly to an AT&T cell phone network to get online if I need to. I'm blabbing. Too long. So I've got those, plus I've got my 11-year-old Mac Mini that's there that I use for ham radio. And then my 2019 model, I guess a six-year-old MacBook Air. That is kind of my main device. I've all got all these screens. And I'm still using optical discs. In fact, I still use magneto-optical discs, Paul. I still have too many disc jacks. And you can buy the new media. You can still buy the media. Anyway, another story. KX2CW, all the numbers really.

Hi! Um, and uh, I am doing fine. Um, it was nice today. A little on the cool side, but it's okay.

So, I left it home. Um, and a good thing I did, because, um, uh, you know, I had gone over to KJS and RJ Nelson, had a good time with him and Kat and all the critters and the tenant that they had in there. And so I had a good time. Um, but otherwise, yes, I can definitely tell that right knee needs to be replaced sometime soon.

I'm still down here in Indio. I think I'm gonna leave Thursday morning. There wasn't really much to do. There's a couple things that I want to do. I just was looking over, when you fire up Crum, and it has some news in there, news tab. And of course it is now no longer available. But it was showing Bakersfield, or not Bakersfield, what's next to Bakersfield. One of those towns that was under a basically stay home and wear a mask thing because of the smog is too high. The air is too stagnant over there. When I crossed over, over the grapevine, looking down into the Ellie basin, I was just like, look at that haze. That is not fog, kids. That is death. But yeah, over here they said Coachella Valley was also supposed to be this morning. I didn't notice anything. Maybe it's a little further south. I'm just up here in Indio off of I-10. But yeah, they were supposed to have some rain, and I don't think it actually came. But the weather's been good today. It was kind of like a Seattle day. But a little twist. Very, very dark clouds with spots that the sun could come out. So the sun's like beaming 79 degrees, and then there's like big dark shadows like you've seen on the Lion King. And Simba asked, what is over there in the Darklands? But anyways, I digress. It's been a venture, and I am definitely not looking forward towards the 1200 mile road trip home. But since I'm leaving early, maybe I'll sneak over to Santa Cruz. N7, WAA. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven. All right. I hope you have a fun drive back. 1200 miles is definitely a long drive. I've driven to Northern California from the Puget Sound, but never down to Southern California. And definitely not the, I'm not sure if it's Inland Empire or you're even further, maybe even further east than the Inland Empire there. But yeah, just took a brief look, and it looks like there was some pretty bad air quality over the Central Valley, including Bakersfield. Today like really 300 was the rating they were giving it, which is like insane. Maybe we had that once when we had those wildfires or something, but I'm not even sure it was that bad. But things can get pretty trapped in, you know, in that valley I guess. So I hope it has cleared up, because that does sound pretty brutal. So yeah, enjoy the remainder of your visit down to Southern California there. And yeah, motor safely on your way back. 7-3-D. All right, 9.26 p.m. This is Paul, K7PJP. We're here at nine o'clock net.

And nothing else is going on here on this side of the country except it has been cooling down gradually. And I have been networking and trying to get my foot in the door in many places that I can for more work, with more hours, but my current jobs are doing good as well. And over the last few months I have been meeting and exceeding some health care goals. And last week I went to the doctor and my labs are perfect. And everywhere that they would be perfect. And then Monday I had a dentist appointment, no cavities and I have never had a cavity in the 49 years that I have been to serve. So things are going good. I am in a good mood. And my body clock rearranged, somehow it got thrown out of whack, but other than that everything was going good. I have been enjoying some new AI classes that I got or AI for describing my environment around me as I am blind for those who don't know. And at one of my places of importance, well actually it could really be both, but it is one that I have been spending more time at. It is really good because it is a university medical center and all the signs and all this other stuff that they could have out in the hallway and everything. It is very, very rewarding to play around and get to know all the new classes from there.

It definitely has a lot of prospects, I know, seeing just some of the stuff that Apple has been developing.

Yeah, KK7ZUF here over in the kind of North Beach area, and mostly I just wanted to try out this new 20-watt mobile Wuxin that I got. I got one of those tri-bands that you've probably seen on the Internet and stuff. Seems to be working okay with a little stubby mobile antenna on the front of my car. I'd love to hear how it sounds on your end, but other than that, I don't have much to report. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec November. All-Star Note 622. All right, thanks for stopping by Dan. Your audio sounds fine. Your signal is pretty decent. You're making it mostly into the Magnolia receiver, not even a full signal, but despite that, your signal sounded fine to me. So there might have been a little white noise. You're not full quieting, but I think your audio sounds quite strong. So that's the thing that, without a full strength signal coming in, is most important. So it's sounding great. Hope that helps.

I got a Steam Fastpass for a game that I was uh, working on, and uh, I ran into the problem of, I'm not an artist. I can write pretty good code, but I can't make the front end look good. And in like June of this year I just kinda stopped working on this game because of that. And uh, now I'm getting back into it and I'm starting to realize why I got frustrated with it in the first place. Because the whole art thing is hard man. I respect anyone who does anything visual, art form, or even audio art form. I am struggling. It's kinda fun though because uh, I have my own local AI server here and I've been uh, I kinda find a work around of how to generate art and models and audio and make it all work together. And that has been a fun adventure. I'm not sure if it's making it easier or harder, but it's at least been fun. Who knows, maybe one of these years I'll actually get this released on Steam.

There would always be a team of three or four people. You would try to find an artist who you get hooked into what you are doing.

And Dan and Hunter, sorry for stepping on you guys there earlier, I think all of the KK7 stations were trying to get in. Anyway, I've had a mostly productive and enjoyable evening over here. My wife and girls hosted one of their besties and her mom to do some sewing projects after school. And stayed for most of the evening, so I took the opportunity to go outside and get some of the remaining winterization tasks done that were kind of lingering. And then tomorrow if the sunshine holds out, I'm going to get the last of our Halloween decorations done. The only remaining thing at this point is the LED lights that go down the sides of the driveway. So that'll be cool. We seem to do something different every year for Halloween. There's some interesting little feature. Last year there was a, I don't know, three dozen ghosts hanging from one of our trees in our front yard. This year I managed to find a skeleton made of plastic on eBay for quite cheap. And so a few nights ago I snuck into the yard when everyone in the house was asleep and set up the skeleton as if he was pushing the lawnmower and mowing the front lawn. And my wife and girls got quite a kick out of that in the morning. They decided to name him Moe because he is mowing the lawn. So anyway, that's going on. And then I've been enjoying the net here tonight. While I was kind of winterizing things, I made a quick trip over to Home Depot. I needed to get some stuff and I picked up some wire for an antenna I am working on. I am putting together a loop on the ground antenna, which is, as I understand it, it's kind of just a variation on a beverage antenna, if you're familiar with that. So it's a receive only antenna and it is supposed to be very useful in situations where your noise floor is quite high, which mine really can be here in suburbia. I'm looking forward to testing that out hopefully in the next day or so. The only bummer is I picked up 100 feet of wire at Home Depot and I did not read very carefully and realized that I bought THHN wire, which is, the strands are quite thick and it's really just cumbersome to work with. That's okay, we'll make it work. KK7 QES, back to net. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November. Alright, thanks for your report Justin, that's really, I'd like to name both of the skeletons there. I think it's cool that you're mixing things up a bit every year, for sure. So yeah, good idea looking on eBay for things. Just thinking probably after Halloween, maybe people are just selling their stuff off and you get good deals that time too. I don't know. And yeah, definitely keep us posted on how this loop on ground antenna works out for you both. It's construction, execution and performance. I think going for separate receive and transmitting antennas is a great idea. I think that might be a good means for people in high noise areas. A good way to go in terms of, you know, there are antennas that can reduce noise, loops of any sort, loop on ground. If you have room for a beverage, a real beverage antenna. I've heard of some people doing that. I've always wanted to check a beverage antenna out, although you have to have an enormous amount of space to make that work. I've heard that it can be really quiet noise-wise. Yeah, and then there's lots of other options for transmitting. Let us know how that works and you have a great night. 730 to you. All right, and IO from Cody, 87LR, 730 to you. And now we're going to go to Tim, KS7ZI.

Last week went to the Shoreline Tool Library and got a cordless chainsaw for a friend to do some log slicing up and it turned out that there was only one battery that came with the balloon and that battery was not very strong so I went back the next day and got a corded electric chainsaw that did the job much better. I didn't have to worry about the battery running out at least. Anyway today was the day that I was supposed to take this stuff back. I put it off over the weekend because of other stuff I was doing anyway and I like to return things clean. In fact the tool library says you know please return things in kind of the condition you took them out in and they were perfectly clean when I took them so I figured I better clean them. Man that took a long time. I had to take the chains off and clean here and clean there. Each saw took about, I'm not kidding, I don't exaggerate, two hours each to clean these things but I cleaned them spotless and they were definitely clean when I took them back but that took up like half of my day today. Wow. And there were a few other things that I borrowed that I had to take back too. A couple of steel wedges for splitting stuff and a couple of mallet and chaps to protect your legs you know that kind of stuff.

And boy the drive up on I-5 was absolutely perfect, with very little traffic, it was just fantastic. So anyway, I did a little of my research and that was nice and afterwards I went on a little drive and found my grandmother's house and I was just curious. I drove by and by golly I was amazed to see that the house had hardly changed at all in the decades that have passed. Anyway that was interesting. And then on the way home, it was just a fabulous drive because I didn't take the interstate.

See, this is what I needed to check in for. Reminded myself. Yeah, outside of that, we're just kind of hanging out today. And I guess we had a busy weekend because my sister was in town with our niece, Leila, who's nine months old. Almost 10 months old, so we had a busy weekend with the baby. And then, you got to see a whole bunch of families. Had a lot of people over. So it's just sort of like kind of relaxing back into the normal weekday, I guess you could call it.

Just relaxing on a day off. It's technically the next day now, because time zones. But anyhow, did some cleaning, some organizing, some cooking, and just a lot of relaxing. Made some lemon pepper chicken earlier. That was nice. It was my first time cooking chicken on my own, so I was nervous. I overcooked it a little bit, just to make sure I didn't give myself food poisoning. But it worked out well. And got into the closet and started pulling things out and stacking them on the couch. Figured out what I'm going to bring back first. Things like clothes, those are lower priority, because I can just bring over a big, we have a massive suitcase over there in Seattle that I can bring over here and just toss all of that stuff in. Check it and fly home with it. So that's all stacked on one side of the couch, and then all the electronics are on the other side of the couch. So I've got to move all this stuff back in preparation for hopefully come the new year, being based in Denver. I'm number 26 out of 98 people trying to transfer there. So as soon as they are going to get some new hires sent their way, they have to clear the transfer list. And then I should get my transfer to Denver. So that could be fun. Still kind of keeping one eye out for places over here in Boston, but it would be nice to be in Denver, be a little closer to home. Now that I can hold a line over there, I know what my schedule is going to look like. If I am in Denver, I'm probably going to be working three day trips, working on the weekends, but hopefully I can trade. That's just what I was looking at actually, is that I was doing some bidding for next month, and I was looking to see what's on the trade board over there in Denver. What would be my possibilities if I had a line. Anyhow, I'll throw it back to you. Thanks for running the net, KJ7WQI. I'm going to be doing some trading in the U.S. and the U.S. and the country all the time. I imagine Denver would make it a little easier for you to end up here in Seattle. So I hope that works out for you. Boston has its charms for sure, but it is a bit distant. Thanks for stopping by. You have a great night.

You put this extended battery on it because it's almost comically large. It is just an absolute beast of a radio right now. It even dwarfs the Alon HD2 and some of the other radios.

Sounds like you're having a good time out there. This is KC2PKG, over to you, VA3KKY. Yeah, it's a chilly morning. It was like 8 Celsius, the lower 40s and that. I think the highest we're supposed to get today is maybe 13. So it's looking like fall. Yeah, not too bad. Yeah, certain days I've gone to the park, the Camber Valley Park in Langley. Let's see, they caught the wild woman running around in Surrey, stabbing everybody. So they got her on lockdown. And yeah, because on the weekend, there were these random attacks, random stabbings on the street and they couldn't find this woman that was causing all the trouble. That's to tell you, man, there's like just mental illness and drug addicts running around all over the place. It's no good. So it's a good thing to stay on the inside. Anyways, hey listen, I can't stay. I'm actually doing, well I did my work yesterday, so it isn't work related, but I'm trying to rip this long thing onto my phone from the computer, so I've got to kind of pay attention. So there's no lies and alibis, I'm just telling you the truth. As far as, well I don't know my ancestry very well. It's confusing. My dad has Chinese roots and my mom has black roots, right, because she's from St. Lucia. I know a lot less about St. Lucia. I've got a million cousins. There's a bunch on my dad's side and a bunch on my mother's side. Some of my dear ones have passed away. People have looked after me, I've looked up to all my life. There's a few that have passed away. Of course, obviously my brother's gone, my mother's gone, so I've lost a lot of people that were really close to me. I've got people scattered all over the place, stateside, Euro side, Canada side. So, I don't think I know anyone or have anybody on the south side. South, south, south. I don't think I have that. So, no pumpkins, as we sort of call them, right? Because they like to pump their kin. Get it? Get it? Oh, ba da bum. But, it's mostly, you know, like at least stateside. It's a lot of like New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, of course. And then in Canada, it's a lot of like parts of, like just really far away Ontario parts that I've never gone to, like Kenora and Thunder Bay and things like that. I don't think I know anyone or have anyone connected to me in Vancouver. I don't think there's anything like that. There might be some people in Montreal, like on my mother's side or whatever, like people that are scattered all over the place. And then, well, my brother was the one, besides my dad, my brother was like the one Toronto connection. He's gone. So, yeah, that's about it. I was never interested on continuing my name. I don't want kids. I don't like kids. I used to always kid about, oh, there you go. I used to always kid about how it would be great if I had to have kids, if they would come grown. So, but nowadays, honestly, just with my blood pressure, I'd probably slaughter them. So it's better not to have them, I guess. I'm too comfortable in my ways, you know. I have a little style. I have my little situation. I like it. So, hey, take care. Sounds like it's going to be fun filled. Sounds like you might have a lot of participation on your, well, I guess not question, but quest. So good luck with that. Good to hear you on a Wednesday. So hi and bye. And I'll turn it back to you. It'll be a free taking a while. Look for you guys later on when you're not here. Okay. All right. Now's a good time to look for people, right, when they're not there. Okay. Back to that.

Now the last time it took me about two weeks, hopefully it won't take me two to three weeks to compile this again, but I'm saving it to, I thought I'd save it to a hard drive and I didn't.

You don't see me in regularly because I've been very busy trying to compile these things and get everything you know, the fact that I used to have, which is probably not going to ever happen, but I'm trying to get everything done that I can remember.

I'm still waiting for the advanced RMA. It was approved like a week and a half ago. They said it would be here within a week or so, but they said that I'd received an email when it was shipped with a tracking number and blah, blah, blah. Haven't received any emails. They have, however, sent me two customer support satisfaction surveys. They've sent me a 20% discount code for my next purchase with Western Digital. They sent me a, oh God, what was it, four emails altogether, none of them with anything. Oh, product registration emails. When they opened my original ticket and registered the warranty on the current drive, I've got two emails confirming that, the warranty registration. So, yeah, a bunch of emails from them, but no drive yet. So I'm still waiting on that. But I'm still confident that once I crack that old drive open, which I haven't done yet, because there's bushings in there, like little rubber bushings go on the corners of the drive itself, and there's some screws that mount the drive to the casing, and then there's some screws and little rubber grommets that mount the control board to the drive. So I don't want to lose any of those screws or rubber grommets or anything like that while I'm waiting for the new drive to come, so I've just left it intact for now. But I'm pretty confident once I chuck it, the term that people use for pulling actual hard drives out of those enclosures, I'm pretty confident that it's going to work. I've used the device now a few times to pull files off hard drives of multiple sizes and capacities from little rinky-dink laptop-sized SSDs all the way up to one full-sized 7200 RPM 3.5-inch drive, and it worked every time. But none of those drives were particularly bad, right? They were just inside computers that had outlived their usefulness or, in a couple of cases, a laptop that just wouldn't boot and a desktop that just wouldn't boot. I'm thinking faulty motherboards in both cases, but as soon as I connected those drives up, man, they spun right up. And this adapter is really cool because it comes with the little pigtails. You know how the older drives needed separate power? You know, they had that four-pin Molex power connector? This thing even came with that. It's a little thing you plug into the side of the adapter, and it gives full power, you know, two, three and a half inch rotating hard drive."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-15T04:51:33+00:00","id":60804,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":60803,"text":" three and a half inch rotating hard drive. So there's no drive that you can't pull data from with this thing from older IDE drives, you know, 40-pin desktop drives to 44-pin laptop IDE drives to both SATA, be they desktop or laptop drives. And it plugs into the wall in addition to connecting to the computer, so it gives you full power for all those drives. And I've pulled data from all types, an SSD or a couple SSDs, laptop hard drives, couple of desktop hard drives, you know, it's fairly easy. So D, if the computer, I'd be curious to know what's dead in the computer. Is the computer itself just won't boost? Or have you reinstalled Windows on the drive because that may have actually erased the drive? Or is the computer just dead and like you've done nothing with it and your files are just trapped on the drive inside? Because it is a pretty simple process. If the drive itself isn't damaged, like physically damaged, it is a fairly easy process to connect that drive to another computer, like take it out of the computer that it's in and use an adapter that you can get on Amazon and connect the drive to another computer and just pull the data off it, like just copy it over to something else. Because the computer doesn't need the boot for you to do that because this adapter, it makes it so you can just plug the drive in through a USB port on another computer and then it'll spin up and you can just open it in a folder. Excuse me, you can open it in a folder and pull all your data. So if there is stuff that you can't, you know, recopy or re-obtain, that might be a simple solution for you and I'm not sure what they cost in the States, you know, probably 30, 35 bucks maybe. And yeah, then you could pull data off any drives that you so desired. I'm betting places that actually, let me reset. devicesbeep"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-15T04:53:30+00:00","id":60805,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":60804,"text":" I'm betting businesses that actually do this, they probably want a fortune to do it, but you could do it so easily yourself. My week, great, it's going pretty good. It's been cold up here. It's like 8 degrees Celsius right now. It's like 43 or 44 Fahrenheit, something like that. And that's been the norm around here for the past little while. It's just chilly, especially in the mornings. And I fell asleep on the couch last night, and it was pretty good. Brother-in-law was trying to give me another couch yesterday. It was one of those large sectional outfits, you know, that's like a bell shape. And he'd gotten it from his parents, but when he got it home it wouldn't fit down his basement stairs. So he was panicked, trying to give it away real quick. And it's only like 8 months old, so it was in really great shape. And I've already got two couches in my living room, a two-seat loveseat and a three-seat couch, and a recliner and stuff. So I didn't really have any room for it. He was like, well, you take your current couch and loveseat and just put them in the spare room. And I was like, I already got a couch in there too. He was like, well, just stack them up, just keep it. And I was like, man, I got no need to try and pile more furniture into that storage room. So I declined. Even though it was a real nice couch, I just didn't want to be able to go and mess around reorganizing my living room again. So when everything was already in great shape, and the cats haven't totally destroyed any of those couches yet. So perhaps when they do, I'll be kicking myself in the butt saying, geez, I wish I'd taken that other couch. But nah, I didn't. Other than that though, not really much going on, man. I've been here since the beginning. And I'll be here till the end. Hey, good morning to Bill, coming in behind me there. Hope everything's going well with you.

And down through Connecticut, down the east coast a little bit. And finally somebody took a beeline out to California, San Francisco. So there's a big, oh and Utah. But there's a big bunch of us in those areas as well. As a matter of fact, I believe it was my great, great, great grandfather was the coroner of San Francisco. One of the things he added to that fine city was a policy where they bury the dead. They didn't used to. They'd leave them on the street and then somebody would pick them up, I guess, if they had waste disposal or somebody would have to do something about it. But he got the town fathers to agree to pick up the bodies and bury them in like a potter's field, that kind of a thing. So that was our big contribution to San Francisco. All right, KB0MAI.

All right, Daryl, you have a history. Your Warford name is all over Newfoundland. So tell me about when the Warfords got there and what they do. This is KC2PKG, over to you. VL1UKZ. Well, my family left Bony Hill, Scotland in the middle of the 1800s after a series of very unsuspicious murders. Then we pirated our way across the North Atlantic to Newfoundland pillaging and plundering the whole way. It was a journey worthy of killers and thieves. I'm just kidding. Oh shit, I was going to keep that going too, but I just couldn't stop laughing. We immigrated, we were a group of fishermen. I think my great-great-great-great-grandmother was from Ireland, my great-great-great-great-grandfather was from Scotland. They with one or two of their kids, I can't remember specifically because this is a long time ago, this is 1800s we're talking about here, and they colonized the southern shore in Newfoundland. You know, you often hear me say I'm going to the country where my brother-in-law's parents live. They live on the southern shore, which is about an hour and a half outside of town here. Back at the turn of the century, the turn of the 1900s, of course, we moved to this area here in Shea Heights, which was outside the city. It was still rural at the time. There was no road actually connecting us to the city. There were dirt roads that were back passages at the time that were very difficult to travel, I'm guessing, without car. You know, without car, I guess they used horse and buggy or whatever the hell they used back then. There were no cars in Newfoundland. Back at the turn of the century, maybe they took the train. I don't know, there was trains. I'm not sure how they did it, but eventually they ended up here on Shea Heights where I currently live, which is a little community of just several thousand people off to the edge of the city. There is a road connecting Shea Heights to the city now. Ever since the late 1960s, I believe they put that road in. We were unofficially added to the city of St. John's, or the municipality of St. John's, let's call it that, because we weren't really part of the city. We were still outliers. Back in the 1970s, they started putting in city services. Late 60s, early 70s, they started putting in city services like running water and sewage. They dug up everything around to put those pipes under the streets. They paved it over and eventually got roads and stuff up here.

Well, great. How much time we got left on this neck? I can go on and on for a while if they need to fill some time. We've actually, my family, not, both sides of my family has done extensive genealogy research. My mother's side and my father's side. And of course with the advent of the internet and DNA testing, I've done the ancestry.com DNA thing years ago, long before anybody worried about privacy concerns. And so it's out there. Plus, you know, the military has my DNA's out there. Whatever. Anyhow, so it was really, really kind of cool to be able to see that along with the genealogy records that both sides of the family had kept. And so it's really fascinating. The paternal side, the Ford's, my namesake side, I can directly, directly trace back to like the 1200's. It's really quite fascinating. We were for, gosh, a long time, stuck in the mid-1700's with a guy named Joseph Ford and Isaac Ford. We knew that they were father and son, but we could never find the documentation to prove it other than a land deed showing that the father had sold the son some land. And so anyhow, thanks to all those really cool modern tools, they were actually able to establish paternity through that and that really opened up the rest of the family tree that we could for sure say this is our lineage. So it's quite amazing. I mean, we have a county in Tennessee named after us. My direct family, unfortunately, as you look at it these days, owned a plantation in the moment of order. It's still there. The mansion's still there, the family cemetery's still there. It's all still there. My branch moved right around the 1860's from Georgia to Stephenville, which is about 45 minutes south of where I live right now. And about 10 short years later, Joseph Gee Ford, who is my great, great, great, great, great grandfather, moved from Stephenville to Mineral Wells, where I live at today. I still have a bench that he built when he first moved to Mineral Wells in my garage. It's been in my family forever. I mean, for 150 something years. I'll have to look it up. Take a real quick break. Alright, so the way that we came over to the United States, that part of my family, they were French humanites. They had migrated from France to England, from England to Virginia before the foundation of the United States. In fact, we were just barely colonies of England at the time. And so that's how they migrated over. My mother's family is quite interesting because they're Scottish. When you do my DNA check, I am over 50% Scottish. So imagine that. A seventh generational Texan being 50% Scottish. Kind of cool. I do need to tell you about my favorite, probably my personal favorite ancestor. And that is, I don't know if y'all ever heard of him. I like a lot of old-resh stuff, probably because I live here. But James Wesley Harden. James Harden. James Wesley Harden. He's an old-resh gunslinger. I have a picture of my great-great-grandmother sitting on his lap. And it was his, it was her uncle. And so we have a pretty cool lineage to a wild-resh gunslinger. So that one's pretty fun to talk about. Okay, that's enough time talking about my family. I'll send it back.

But I did see, I just got a glimpse, you know, but that, does that count as historical or something that happened that was around? And then there was another president, Jimmy Carter. I was roughly 15, 16 at the time. Something like that. Well anyways, he was taking a ferryboat up the river through Missouri and stopping from town to town if he could. He was re-electioned. And he stopped in a tiny town called Windfield, Missouri. I mean this thing is the Po-Dunk town, population 300. Out in the middle of nowhere, but I think the ferry stopped there because they had some type of dock so he'd get off and all that kind of stuff. He was re-set. And so he got there and it was him, his wife and his daughter. And there was a handful of us, maybe 12, 13 people actually showed up. And I was one of them and I got to see Jimmy Carter's hand and I thought that was kind of cool. Oh, one more. So back in Iceland, it was in 1984 I think it was. And basically what happened is that Europe was having a great big science show and they flew the mock model, the Enterprise space shuttle I think it was. Was it called the Enterprise? Yeah, Enterprise maybe. And it landed on top of the 747 in Iceland and stayed there overnight and that was pretty thrilling. In fact there was 250,000 people on the island and I think they were all on the base to see this thing land in Iceland before it went over to Europe. Strange thing is, they used to do some guard duty with an Icelandic police officer on base at one of the gates and he was listening to radio Moscow. I couldn't understand it. I asked him, hey what are you talking about on there? And he said, well we're talking about this show that happened in Europe and Russia is saying that all that the Americans could do is bring over a mock-up model of the space shuttle. And here we had all kinds, the Russians had all kinds of scientific stuff there and it was just fantastic and they really showed America when it came to ingenuity and science and technology and blah blah blah. And I said, okay. Well when NASA came flying back through they stopped to get in Iceland, not the space shuttle, just NASA themselves. And I got to do customs on the plane, one of the planes that came in, a small jet. And I was asking the pilot, I told him the story of what Moscow radio was talking about and the guy laughed and said all they had there, all that Russia had there was books. Just rows and rows and rows of books. That was their display. So, anyhow, that's about it.

They realized that by the time it got up to the top, the two legs of the arch would have been too far apart to put in the last piece, so they had to tear it back down and go back up.

Then the last piece of the arch, they still had a little problem getting that in because it was like a tiny bit off, but they did manage to get that in. The other thing, I don't know if I want to say this, but I'll say that I am distantly related to a famous person in history, but I'm not going to say who that is. W0GL, back to net.

I saw live the space shuttle Challenger. When it blew up, we were watching it in class. We saw it go up and then explode. I think that might be it. I know there's probably some other stuff. It's hard to think of what they might have been. Yeah, nope, I'm throwing a blank. I got done with my meal and I got back to the truck and I started driving to leave the casino there. My student woke up and wanted to go to the bathroom. There's no place to park here. Let me run up to the next exit. There's another truck stop. You can go in there and use the restroom. That's where I ran to the TA truck stop. I want to go in real quick and see if they have a tool that I want for working for my son-in-law there. He's got these things that go up on the top of the blocks, these plastic corners that you put on there to help hold the blocks in place. The two that go up on the front of the truck, it's a drop deck trailer. Those two you can't reach from the ground. I was climbing up, getting on the frame and climbing up. That was just a little too much. If I had slipped or fallen, I would have really hurt myself. They've got a stick that you can buy that's got a handle on the end that holds those things so you can put them up there in place.

Um, well, 9-11 of course was probably the most impactful for me personally. Um, and funny enough, I didn't even see that live when it happened, so I guess that one doesn't count. I was on a rifle range whenever that happened. The Challenger, I remember the Challenger exploding. I was in school just like Bill was. That was pretty bad. Everybody was sad, teachers were crying. I remember that. I remember when the wall came down, the Berlin Wall. I remember when that came down. Those are things I remember. I guess they're all impactful to an extent. I'm still going to say 9-11 even though I didn't actually watch it happen. That whole story was kind of different. We were on a range. We were sighting in our rifles. Just normal infantry, you know, mechanical things. You go there, you make sure your rifle is still sighted in. Blah, blah, blah, blah. And cattle trucks load up. And cattle trucks are basically 18-wheelers, like what Bill drives. But the trailer part is more like a cattle truck. Doors open up and they got benches and poles that people sit or stand and hold onto. That's how they can transport a lot of people with just a couple of vehicles. So anyhow, the cattle trucks load up and a full bird colonel got off the truck with a bullhorn. So I saw the ceasefire to gather our equipment and load up on the cattle trucks. I was told not to get on the cell phones. That was a big order. Not to get on the cell phones, get on the cattle truck, no talking. It was pretty rigid. We knew something was up. So then we ended up going down to the airfield and kind of got filled in on what was going on. So even though I didn't see 9-11, I still think it was one of the most impactful things. Of course, that led into Afghanistan and later Iraq. So impactful, yeah. There you go. I'm sure I'll think of something after the net, but that's how it typically works. KJ-5 ILQ.

Do you remember that the United States invaded Canada during the War of 1812? And they stormed into the French capital of what now is Quebec. And as retaliation for that invasion of Canada, the White House got burned down. So that's what I call eff around and find out. Look up some history there. And rethink annexation of your friend in the Great White North. But I'm just kidding. Obviously that was not the most significant event in history. It was a significant event though. And you know how it goes, right? Eff around and find out. But yeah, I don't really know, Gray. To be honest with you, man, there's so much stuff that happened. I mean whether people have learned from history or not I think is a more relevant point. Other than what particularly happened in history. Do we learn from the mistakes and successes of the past? Or does it just get buried and nobody ever really thinks about it again? I've been thinking about it again. We had a provincial election here yesterday as well. I don't really talk much about that because I don't think it really matters. I don't even know who won. I don't even know if we have a liberal or conservative government in Newfoundland this time around. I mean the liberals have run rough shot over this province for a very long time passing off all of our resources and value basically to Canada. Mostly to Quebec to appease the en fran\u00e7ais. And I'll say, because they're always crying, we don't like Canada, we don't want to be a part of Canada no more. So the liberals having a great presence in Quebec keep handing them everything.

Lots of significant events and you know, someone already said it, I think George maybe said it, you know, some things that may be significant to one group may not be significant to another group so I guess you could say that a significant event in Newfoundland history was when we were tricked into joining Canada. And there's a lot of dissatisfaction in Newfoundland lately with the federal government with talks of Alberta holding a referendum to leave the country, with Quebec ramping up their rhetoric that they want to leave the country again and now you've got a lot of people in Newfoundland that are pushing for us to do the same thing and that would basically leave Canada in tatters as far as I'm concerned. You know, if three very major, well I mean I really don't know what Quebec, you know, actually contributes, they just seem to take and take and take.

One is the hydroelectric power because Quebec is now trying to renegotiate the deal to get electricity for something like 10 cents or 9 cents a kilowatt hour for 40 more years.

Basically it's just for holding a phone. So I went up and I bought it and it wasn't even $20 the one that I wanted. It was only like $15, $14.99. So I was able to get that without having to spend $30 through Amazon or $26 through chubby. So that's a positive. I found that it was a little bit of a problem. Now I got about two and a half hours I think to the truck stop up in Cedar City where we'll grab showers and switch drivers. I got to give the dealership a phone call here soon and find out if there's any news on my truck. But that's it.

Just sharing thoughts. Wow, my thoughts are why my NetSuite instance is crawling no matter how. Whether it's the UI, mobile, smart account apps, I don't know. So me and NetSuite support are starting to talk this morning. And it's jabbing me absolutely bonkers. And it's nothing I can do. I mean, it's their servers. It's hosted up their facilities. So I've done everything I can do on my side. I've checked all of our things. All of our speed controls, IT, LIFI. And it's happening at multiple locations. So it's not like it's a single instance. So anyhow, I'm sure it has to do with the upgrade that we just got. They typically tend to have issues, little ones like this, after something like that. Let's see, my other thought is it's still too darn hot in Texas. I mean, sure I think we're going to hit 90 something today again. And usually by this time we're comfortably in the 80ish range. So we're a good 10, 12 degrees higher than what we should be this time of the year. And it's been like this for weeks now. We do have a cool front blowing through Sunday night. So it's supposed to drop a high Sunday to 82. But then it jumps back up to 88 on Monday. So yeah, I think everybody down here is just kind of sitting here patiently twiddling their thumbs, waiting for the very short fall that we get to blow in. I just hope that this isn't one of those years where it just switches. Where it's unseasonably warm and warm and warm and then all of a sudden it gets down to the 30s and stays there for a month or two. Because usually when that happens we shift falls completely. And that has happened many times. And when that happens everybody gets sick. Just because it's such a dramatic climate change. But as they say, if you don't like the weather in Texas, wait five minutes and it will change. My mission from now until whenever it's done, dog beds. We are going to build new dog beds for the dogs. We have a four inch memory foam topper that we've been saving for a while. We haven't used it in a while. But we've been saving it and we just decided hey, we either need to use it or throw it out. So we decided we're going to build new dog beds for all the dogs. So that will be fun. My wife likes to sew. So we're debating whether or not to make the covering like one you'd see where you can zip it up and it's nice. And I'm advocating for more like a fitted sheet type covering where you can have two or three fitted sheets per dog and change them out and wash them and all that fun stuff. Anyhow, that's my thoughts. I will send it back to you.

I will share something with you guys. I went over to Camp 2 yesterday and cut this camera on the chimney. And the chimney is, by the way, is falling apart over there. So we're gonna rebuild at some point, but it's time to light a fire under us and get going on that. That was the first thing I learned. The second thing was I got the other camera, the new camera attached to the network and working and everything's looking fine. But I had left, or I'd lost, a piece that the new cameras used to lock them in. They're very easy to screw in. It's just a little piece. And then the base of the camera locks into it and that holds it in. I lost that piece. So I searched a little bit for it yesterday. I'm gonna search for it more today. And then I gotta figure out another way to mount that camera to a ceramic chimney, brick and concrete and that kind of stuff. So that'll be interesting. The other one was strapped on. I used metal straps all the way around the chimney and held it in place. And it's gotta stand up to 60 mile an hour winds or more. So you can't do anything too flimsy up there. And I was not happy about having to drill into the brick either to attach screws. So we'll see if I can move those straps and do something like that. I'm gonna be doing that this afternoon, I think. On the roof, which is like my least favorite place to do it. It's right on the edge of the roof where the chimney comes out. And the fall is, I don't know, probably 12 or 15 feet onto big boulders. So that would really hurt. But my Apple Watch will tell my wife if I fell. I will call the cops if I fall, that kind of stuff. All right, it is the 73 round. These are your final thoughts.

Something that, well, yeah, never mind. But anyways, yesterday, you know, I was telling him my wife was getting ready to go into surgery, and she had, you know, asked the doctor for the FMLA papers, and they were signed and she sent them to the school, and then yesterday we get an email from them stating that they're not going to accept the FMLA. And basically they didn't believe that the required time to be off was necessary. They were assuming that the doctor didn't know enough and that they knew better. And I didn't really take off about that when she told me on the phone, so while she was still at school I looked at the letter, I put it in a chat QPT, asked a couple of questions and analyzed the letter, and it came up with all kinds of suggestions, which I took these suggestions, drafted a letter back to them, and when my wife got home I said, send this. Look at it and send it. And she goes, well, this is kind of harsh, don't you think? And I said, nope. I said, you know, it doesn't really matter. You have your pension. You could retire today if you want to. So if they get picked off at you and everything, who cares? You know, you have a set date that you want to retire after your next year and you want to sign a contract one more time, and you don't really have to do that. So if they do any retaliation, then, you know, who cares? So we started off and five minutes after we set that son of a gun off, they called us directly and said, you know what, we're going to accept you with SFM-AP, take all the time you need, and good luck and we hope that it turns out right. Just by one minute later, we got a letter that basically told them, hey, you're breaking the law and if you don't stop it, I'm going to go after you.

We're supposed to have a cold front come in and then rain for about a whole week or something, they said. So I'm glad I'm heading south. I hope we don't get any down there, down to Pensacola.

So anyway, that's what I'm doing around here, trying to get ready to go and get a little of this and that and the other thing together. Wined up usually taking too much stuff, but that's the way it goes. As far as Halloween goes, it's all going to depend on the candy prices this year. Usually I have a bowl of candy, but if I was like Jim and set it out on a porch, I think the first couple kids that come along would probably empty the thing out. So I don't do that here. I hand it out to them. Otherwise they'd take a big handful. And the candy has gotten out of sight for Halloween. I mean, it's downright awful. So anyway, I'll turn it back over to you so you can get through the list. Thanks a lot for doing the net today and I hope you don't get too much rain down there to your area.

Not sure what we're gonna do with it this year though because mom is usually the one to be sitting on a chair you know down by the front door passing out candy. My dad is older and doesn't get around great. My brother has MS even though he's just about two years younger than me. His body is like 20 years older than me. He really doesn't get along. He gets around worse than my dad does because of the MS and it's really hitting them hard. So if we're gonna do the candy thing this year it looks like I or my niece may be designated to be the candy pass your outers this year which is okay but I'm not really a fan of doing it but if it comes down to it and it means my dad or my brother not having to do it I will I'll gladly do it. However if my niece is home her spoiled and entitled behavior will not get her out of passing out candy to kids. And that's some words you can live by whether I have to tie her to a chair and say sit here and pass out this candy you little brat. She is pretty she's a bratty kid man. She'll only be 20 on her birthday and she still acts like an 11 or 12 year old. Her little sister who is 12 got a doll at the dollar store cheap little thing and the almost 20 year old cried that she didn't get one. So shows you what we're dealing with here and she lives with my dad. She was way too out of control for her parents to deal with so my parents took her in as her grandparents and she's very spoiled very entitled and a very very rude individual. Never quite seen anything quite like it but my dad just tells me just don't confront her. Her generation is very short-tempered. The justifications are unreal but it still continues to blow my mind.

But it's going to be nice and sunny, which is interesting. Good sun and still cold. So we know wintertime is coming now. You know, I don't celebrate or recognize Halloween anymore. When my kids were young, we did that, and it was kind of fun with them. But, you know, by myself now, so it's a \u2013 we don't usually do the Halloween thing. One other note is the repeater out here, our local repeater that's connected to the conference, is not connected this morning. It didn't auto-connect, so I'm not sure what's going on. But a lot less Oregonians out here may be checking in if they're not on Echo Link. So that's about it for here. We don't want to hold it too long. You got a pretty good list there. And congratulations to Cliff for \u2013 I think it was Cliff \u2013 with the \u2013 touching the trout out there. That's a pretty good-sized fish.

Anyway, thank you for straightening me out and I can tell you're in that controller. You're organized. Speaking of being organized, we're going to get you in here next. Kasey Shabniff MW, Missy, a frequency modulated woman. Mic is yours. Organized. My mother would probably have something to say about that in the fact that no, I'm not. I mean, I probably am when it comes to keeping track of stuff in Braille, but when it comes to organizing stuff around here. No, I am not organizing. Oh, man, don't I wish. But I never took after my mother in that regard. I never did. I took more after my father. My mother was like the organized, tidy person. And my dad was more the, you know, clutter, keep everything kind of person. I'm more of a keep everything. I mean, like I still have boxes in my closet that we haven't unpacked from when I moved to this apartment in about September. It's ridiculous. Organized. I love it. Thank you for the compliment. In Braille, yeah, I keep all my stuff well organized. Anyway, good morning, everyone. Hope everybody's having a great day. I'm working on my show for this morning. Trying to figure out what to do with it. Maybe I'll do a Norah Jones show. That's a great idea. And I think I have enough Norah Jones to pull that off. That's a great idea. So, Robert, if you want to tune in, that's probably what we'll do. I'll play a couple songs of mine and then devote the rest of the amazing show to that amazing lady. Hope everybody's having a great day. I don't celebrate Halloween much anymore. I will with little Alexander. They're going to come over. So I'm going to buy some candy so he can trick or treat at my house a little bit, but I'm not going to do much else because it's a hard night for me for a lot of reasons that I won't go into right at the moment. But it's a hard, hard night. So I don't really want to celebrate it anymore. All right. Well, have a great day, guys. Great night, Robert.

It just happened to be right outside of a cemetery. So, he put on a Frankenstein mask. He was all dressed in black. And when the car would come by, he would jump out of the ditch in a Frankenstein mask, all dressed in black. You watch the cars swerve. Oh, my God. It was like 30, 40 or 50 years ago.

You have some unusual friends, for sure. Oh my. Yeah, Halloween just never was one of my favorite times. I always used to, I like to decorate in fall colors, celebrate, you know, the fall and the leaves and everything, so that's what I enjoy. We haven't had any trick-or-treaters for probably over 20 years. You know, our houses are just not close enough for most people nowadays. They don't want to walk, so, or go so far in between homes, so, which is fine with me. That's good. I, yeah. Anyway, Missy, yeah, I apologize, I have not. I take some time there to, to hear a song that I will, hopefully today. My company's coming tomorrow, and we had cleaning ladies in yesterday, and oh boy, what a, I, I would love to see them every month. Boy, what a treat. That was my birthday gift from Joey, for sure. And, what else, what else? Oh, Hope Larry has a really fun and safe trip to Florida, and, oh yeah, and Jeanette, bless your heart, what a sweet thing to do. I'm drinking my coffee from my purple cup. And, yeah, I didn't get your email there till, till late in the day, and so I didn't know who that box was from. But anyway, thank you so much. And, oh, I can't think of anything else. Hi to Rosie and the whole gang. It's going to be a busy weekend, and we'll have the neighbors over Saturday, and my Arizona Rosie, our Arizona Rosie, and my cousin Susie, and so it'll be a real nice week of celebration here. So, and beautiful weather, thank heavens that this, this event didn't come. There was like 300 flights interrupted from the airport during our five day rainstorm, and the parts of Tempe, you'd swear it was back east after a big, big tornado hit. It was a huge, huge office complex, and doors, and whatever, and the roof was torn off, everything, and you could look down into the buildings and all the different offices. So, amazing damage. You'd think it was back east.

And then several hours later, I guess late last night, Joyce saw the email and figured it out. Anyway, we sure appreciate it. That was awful nice of you. And the blanket. And the blanket too, wow.
