Chilly out this morning, very chilly 48 degrees as of now is about 45 when I was out with the dogs this morning. I actually almost had to put on sweatpants. I pretty much am in shorts and a no sleeve tank top 99% of the time in Vegas so I almost had to put on sweatpants this morning and almost had to put on a short sleeve shirt but I'm holding up anyway. Not much else going on was chatting with Joe, KK7Z, he made it on his flight and of course you've got to have some dry humor just like you Robert. I said glad that you made it on the plane and he says well I'm not on the plane I'm in the plane if I was on the plane I would fall off. So there's some dry humor from KK7Z first thing this morning and anyway no humor at all like you said very little humor. Anyway Halloween is pretty stale in my neighborhood. We live in like a little it's not really a cold attack but it might as well be and we don't get much foot traffic on Halloween so we don't really do too much for Halloween anymore. Kids are no longer small, me and the wife and of course my mom with her dementia she probably forget it was Halloween anyway. Probably just eat all the candy. So we don't really do too much anymore we used to always pass out candy and the other when I lived up in Carson City and we used to have the glow we'd pass out the glow sticks there you know all the kids would come back and forth and the whole neighborhood would be glowing because everybody used to hand out the same things or were similar. So it was kind of nice and then of course the kids had their parties and we used to go to some parties every now and again with our friends and you know do costumes and whatever and of course I always went as GI Joe that was the most requested. So all I do is just put on my uniform just put on my uniform put on some paint you know paint my face up and so forth and GI Joe for Halloween. There you go. Anyway dogs are doing okay I got to take the pit bull for her vaccines today and she's a little overdue because the place that I go to even though I ask him every time I go you know is everyone all caught up and everything oh yeah everything's fine everything's fine and I just find out yesterday that the the pit bull is overdue since July so I'm pretty much going to pull out of that vet I'm going to go to the new vet this morning so when I go to the old vet I'm just going to go to their records. Let me let it drop for a second."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-15T08:03:04+00:00","id":61001,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":61000,"text":" Kt7 J.

And the question for the day is Halloween. I moved in here in my place, we had over 172 kids. Then the following year we had over 200. Then it went down to 1 and 2. I said, well guess what, 1 and 2 I'm not putting up anymore. That's it, I'm closing the doors and I'm going out. And the way it fell is on this year, it's on Friday anyways. So I'm going to Legion having fun there. So there we go, being dressed up as well. But nobody knows what I will be. And I'm not giving that out until after Halloween. There we go. You guys have a wonderful day. And take care, that's for sure. Well next week I have a busy week. I have Monday a doctor to go to in the afternoon. And I have Tuesday I have a doctor to go to as well to get the EKG done. And that's when they will find out if I had a heart attack or not. So far we'll have to sit in and figure it out and go slow and whatever else. And yes those pills while I'm on them, they still make me dizzy. I was on half a pill first and now back on the full one. And it still does, but not as bad as in the beginning. Wow, the first time it really, the whole house was just spinning. That way I could not get up out of my chair at all. So now I can at least get up and hold on to things and go slow.

And I have to tell you, my brother-in-law back in New York, we went to a Halloween party at the American, actually it was the Knights of Columbus and oh man, he dressed up as Dracula and he was in a coffin. It was the scariest, I swear, it was the scariest thing. And so all of the kids would just gather around him and they couldn't believe that there was a dead guy in a coffin dressed up as Dracula and when they all gathered around him, he got really, really close, he would pop out. That was cruel and unusual punishment.

We don't decorate for anything for Halloween. We don't even decorate for Christmas because nobody would come down here and see it anyway. We have one star at the corner of the house. I can turn that on. Maybe some of the neighbors might see it. There are a couple of boys across the street. I told the lady, this was like 10 years ago. I said if you bring the boys over I'll give them some candy. So I got them a couple of big Hershey bars. For several years I just take the Hershey bars over and leave them on the front porch. But nobody comes down here and our old house is about the same deal. It was about a four or five hundred foot driveway. We had one house next door and those boys would come over and we would give them candy. Now back 50 years ago we were living in Beaverton in just a ranch house, a small house in a neighborhood. We would get probably 35 or 40 kids. I think when Troy was little I probably went with him. You didn't have to talk to her about that or how old he was when we let him go by himself because there were no brothers or sisters. I fixed up a softball and put a pillow sheet over it and I put an eyelet on the door and then off the door. So when the kids came I opened up the door on the string and when I opened the door a ghost would pop up from the side. And also I had a CB in those days and I put a speaker in the mail slot and when they would come up I had on PA and I could probably scare some of the little kids.

This little cuddly lady brought her little five-year-old to the door. And James had put this mannequin on the porch. And he fixed some ways of making the thing wiggle. And then he had a speaker inside of him. And that poor little kid. He had the Wile E. Coyote eyeballs turned, hit the middle of the lawn, and dove over her four-foot hedge. And all his mother could do was just wiggle her socks off. It was so funny. She said, I have never seen such a... That child moved so much in my life. And my son did. The biggest one I remember for my son was in Quartzsite. It was just raining cats and dogs. And we went to this house, and this lady just turned her bowl up and closed the door and turned the light off because she figured she wasn't going to get any more. Let's see.

If anybody would love to hear my fantastic music, it's done, minored under Rock Beats because that's the type of music I like. But if anybody would like to hear them, shoot me an email. They came out pretty fantastic. Each of them took me a total of about 60 seconds to create using an AI app. But they came out pretty good. I don't claim them as my own, but they are created by AI. But I did tell it what to create and all that kind of stuff. So I guess it's my music by today's standards. So if anybody does want to hear that stuff, there's some really good bangers in there.

I've been writing songs for a long time. She would create melodies and she would tell me to do this and when they came out with upload your vocals I'm like oh this is a good idea because I can use my own voice and do what I want. Then she'd challenge me to make melodies 120 seconds and I'm going you want me to do what are you kidding I can't do that. Well sometimes I can and sometimes I can't. I go blank after about 120 seconds I can't finish the bridge. I don't know why but I just blank out. So then the website will finish it for me so thank God for that because I would be screwed. I just go blank. If you don't have a keyboard it's really hard to create a melody and I don't have that anymore so it's like do it out of your head and oh man.

He played the guitar the wrong way. He had to string it upside down just like Jimi Hendrix. How about that?

How are you? How are you? How are you? Welcome to the Wednesday morning edition of the Puget Sound Repeater Group's 9 a.m. net. We're on the Puget Sound Repeater in Seattle, Washington, WW7PSR at 146.960 MHz with a negative offset and a PL soon of 103.5. So all you hams, come set radios up. Come in and join us. We are also All Star and Echo Link connected. So if you want to come in by internet, that's fine too. This is, by the way, Kilo Delta 7, Papa Whiskey Bravo Dave, the High Desert Pirate Radio down here in Central Oregon coming to you on an All Star node. So hey, this is an open net for all ham radio operators with a valid license. It is also a social net. You can talk about anything you want as long as it's user friendly. And it is also a directed net. So please keep that in mind and remember to go through net control before you contact other stations. And when you check in, please don't tailgate. Let me acknowledge each station and that helps cut down on the confusion at least a little bit. We have plenty of confusion without it. So there you go. All right. Yeah, let's see. What was I going to say? I haven't the foggiest clue. Anyway, the way it works, we're going to build a list of names and call signs. And then I'll go back after I get, I don't know, five or six or so and then go back, ask for a report from each of those stations starting at the top of the list. Please remember to try and keep your reports to three minutes or less. That's the time out of the repeater system and it also lets us get everybody in in a timely fashion. And also, mission critical. Please remember to end your report with your call sign. That tells me you're done with your report and it satisfies the FCC. Okay. Let's see. There was something else I was going to say and I have no idea what that was either. All right. We're going to get things rocking and rolling here. What was I going to say? There was something. Anyway, we're going to start out with short horizon stations. That's mobiles, IOs, low power stations or anybody that's mission critical that needs to get in because they've got other commitments. Then we're going to throw in some internet stations. We'll open it up to everybody. None of this is, of course, carved in stone. There you go. Hey. I'm waiting to hear from you.

I haven't done that to myself in, I think, decades. I'm pretty diligent about keeping it above a quarter at a minimum. Usually I like to keep it above half because you never know when something is going to cause you to have to get the heck out of Dodge and you need the gas. But anyway, so I had to go find a gas station, put a couple of dollars in. Well, $15 in, $2 wouldn't get you far nowadays. And I'm on my way. It might be about five minutes late, but I'll be alright.

So we actually have room left over, which we have to have some room for those little last minute items. We've got some air plants and a couple of plants that we take with us back and forth. And just the last minute stuff that you gather up and so that has to all fit in there. But we have room in the car top carrier too. So it will be interesting to see how many stops we have to make to recharge because you add all that weight and the air resistance from the car top carrier. I'm having range anxiety. I don't know.

It's going to, I think, be probably about as warm as yesterday. There's a few high clouds, not much. So we've got about, I guess, about 97% sunshine, although it's completely sunshiny here in Shoreline, north of Seattle at the moment. Kind of cool this morning. I was up in Everett, and I had quite a bit of ice on my windshield this morning. Usually in my key Nero EV, I try not to use the heater much, because the mileage takes a drop. But as it turns out, when you turn it on, it just takes a drop for as long as you've got the heat on. As soon as you turn it off, it goes back and shows you what you practically would have gotten if you hadn't used it at all, as far as range. So this morning, since there was ice on the windows, I turned the heater up full blast. And it was cleared up in less than a minute. So actually, that was probably at least as good, and probably better than I would have gotten on my gas powered car, as far as heating up that quickly. It's another beautiful day, and I've got a little bit of a problem where I tend to put things off. I have a hard time finishing things. I'll get something like a third of the way done, or 2 thirds of the way, or 9 tenths of the way done. And then I sort of put it aside. I really need to work on completing things, starting things and completing things. So that's what I'm working on today. I've already done my dishes for this morning, a bunch of other stuff I've got planned. So it's going to be a productive day for me. And I've got a question for Jeff coming up behind me here.

And, of course, my provider's organization hasn't come to terms with the best plan. I've been talking to my broker and it's like, we all agree, yep, that's the bond. That's the one you can afford. So, you know. And then, like last year, it was like, we're going to wait until December 31st to sign our contracts. Great. Just great. Who used to say that? I think his name was Billy something. He was a comedian, character actor in many, many movies. I'm sure he's passed on. But he was sure fun in the, you know, like 40s, 50s, early 60s. Anyway, I remember he had curly hair and did a lot of coms. But there it is. My brain is just kind of fried from doing all that stuff. So we know what plan we want to have. We're just waiting for all the parties to come together and sign their contracts so I can have a little piece of mind. Not much. Not a lot. Yeah. So, I got a little radio action today. We'll have more. And of course the M's game this afternoon. Yay. And there it is. Jack, thank you for doing the net. I'm on an actual radio radio today. So there it is.

It's hard to watch the Mariners game over here without paying obscene amounts for some sort of subscription. I will probably end up FaceTiming with my mom so that I can watch through their screen. But yeah, other than that, just hanging around the house, doing some online training for work. Mandatory, unpaid training. And cooking up pancakes and things like that. I am going to go run out and pick up some butter later today to make some biscuits. Some of those cheddar... What was it? Cheddar Bay biscuits? Anyways, they're really good. And yeah, just a nice relaxing day over here. I've got all of my stuff piled up on a couch to be organized into different bags to bring home. What needs to go in, what bags that I can check or not check. And yeah, just clicking one page at a time on this online training that I've done a million times before. It's like every quarter we get a different online training and they just cycle throughout the year. So I've done the same exact one multiple times. So the questions are easy, but it's just a time waster. Anyhow, that's all I got. I did on the fermenting thing, I used to do that back in the day. I used to brew my own stuff. Didn't end up drinking any of it because I didn't trust my cleaning beforehand. But I did turn it into some ethanol just for scientific purposes. Yeah, because I can. I have the equipment for that. Not that I ever ended up drinking it, but it was fun to see that it was possible. And I think I ended up just throwing it all out in the end.

Let's go back to Matt's comment WQI Go ahead Well, hey there Jack, uh, so I think I know what you guys are talking about there's a some of the smaller airlines regional things like that receive Subsidies from the government to fly to certain smaller communities There's a airline over here called Cape Air That does does some of those smaller airports You know an analog for Washington would be like Seattle to Yakima or Seattle to Wenatchee Where there's only like one flight a day. It's usually on like horizon or you know a regional airline So if the if the airline is taking subsidies for those routes They can stop offering that during a shutdown Because they're not getting any money for it. So Anyway, I just wanted to toss that my little two cents on that out there So some of them might still operate depending on if it's profitable or not but if they're If the main source of the income for that flight comes from the government then they might shut that down until they start getting money Again, so anyway throwback to you kj7 wqi This is You have all out and that is exactly what I had heard Alright, well, thank you so much And I know you only thought that was worth two cents, but I'd say that was worth a whole dollar 289 so thank you so much. Yeah, that is what I was what I was remembering. Yes, indeed. Thank you so much match Great job. All right. Well, you'd expect an insider would know these things. Oh, there you go He's our expert today. All right, and Okay, I seven you EF Matt. I hope that helps you understand what I heard as well Anyway, all right, let's continue on with him in just a moment current time 1254 I'm Jack ki7 our mu he's ki7 zi.

Finally got outside to do some stuff. Cutting up some wood for a friend and cleaning out my old Kia a little bit. Just making it presentable because it is a mess. Yeah, on that topic of airlines and so forth. So yeah, there was in the recent bill that was passed some time ago, one of the things that's being cut is support for small communities that don't have any regular air service. I don't think there was any locations in Washington that were affected, but in Oregon there's at least one. And apparently the federal government was giving 80% coverage for the flight cost of flights. So the people that had to go would only have to pay 20%. And this is for places where they didn't have any access to certain facilities. For example, someone that could get to a hospital for appointments and so forth. They'd be able to take this reduced cost flight. And so that is ending. But again, I don't think there's anything in Washington state that's affected. They didn't mention anything about airports. These are just kind of like, as someone mentioned, one flight a day type of thing that will no longer be supported with the federal funding.

Let's see, it's a wonderful day for amateur radio. I've had a blast today. Found myself in the middle of a round table with a bunch of stations in England and I was the odd man out. Well, I'm usually the odd man out, but this case in particular, I was the only one without a British accent and I have to admit that I couldn't understand half of them. I'm very good with dialects in England and for the most part, but this was, a couple of the guys are very, very Northern, Western. Almost sounded Scottish, but it wasn't and they used something actually that I was unfamiliar with. And I do watch Acorn TV and I do watch Brick Box often. So that wasn't it, these guys were, it was very strong. But that's the wonder of amateur radio. I started watching Madeline's YouTube video and I'm gonna finish it up after your net, but she was kind of alluding to that, to our community on amateur radio and I'm kind of proud of the young lady. Good job, good job, and Emily, very good, very good. I did a thing today. I bought another piece of amateur radio equipment, but this was very important. I didn't have to get as extravagant as I did. I bought a Buckmaster dipole antenna. I started to put one together. I brought out all the bits and as my friends would have said, for my kid. And I just started thinking of having the measure, I was just lazy, let's put it down to that. I have the stuff for it, but Buckmaster tried and true. I won't have to worry about it. It'll last me probably my lifetime. So I decided to go that way. But other than that, loving life and I have to look up a hagfish. So back over to you, Jeff. GI7, RMU and 7, JVJ. This is repeater station kilo, kilo seven, November, Quebec, November. All right, Henry. Well, I was kind of wondering whether or not the friends you were talking to on the round table there over in the UK might know what hagfish is. I don't know, it just sounds like something you'd find, maybe on the Atlantic Ocean, I don't know. But anyway, hey, great to hear you. Hey, but real quick, so I do wanna mention too and I saw this on Facebook, the Facebook discussion group page we have here on PSRG. Madeline posted the following. My friend Emily interviewed me for her new podcast, which is called Take Part about the topic of ham radio. She's interviewing people about their hobbies and communities so others can find community and hobbies themselves. I love this service we do and our community so much. Hopefully that comes through. Proud of us and what we do, what we all do to make ham radio amazing. So that is posted now and I saw that this morning. I can't wait to get to it. So yeah, let us know what you think. When it's all said and done, Henry, you have a great afternoon. Yeah, all right, there we go. And no comment, that's no comment, Henry. It was a great comment there. All right, you have a great afternoon. Let's go to James in Montlake. But first, it's 1.04 p.m. I'm Jack, KI7R, I'm here for the WW7 PSR. In noon, we do three of these nets every day of the year. 9 a.m. and noon and 9 p.m. Seattle time. Let's go down to Montlake, KK7, FYT. Hi, James. Hey, Jack, greetings to you and greetings to everyone on the net. Nice listening to everyone. Yeah, just children from home here, listening to the net, having a good time. Yeah, kind of cool. Yeah, I didn't realize so many people on the net and PSRG were pilots or flew aircraft. But yeah, listening to, you know, someone talk about the radials of the VOR, the variable on the range device. It's pretty cool. I hadn't heard that in a while. But yeah, yeah, I used to fly a long time ago quite a bit. But yeah, it's crazy. There are a lot of airports that are closing out there. You know, a lot of these small airports in small rural areas are just like ghost towns and they have almost no activity because general aviation is kind of slowly dying and has been for many, many years. Just like you asked, I just looked at what the price is for a new Cessna 172, which is one of the most basic airplanes out there and the one that people almost exclusively use to learn to fly on. And a new one is between $400,000 and $450,000, which is just insane for this thing that doesn't weigh that much and is actually very simple and hasn't appreciably changed really that much for, you know, since 1950-ish. Like the basic design really hadn't changed since then. You know, the electronics are slightly more modern, but that's about it. But yeah, it's I think mainly getting killed off just due to high cost. You know, these things are, the aircraft are super expensive. You're paying about $7 a gallon for aviation fuel and that combined with all the other regulatory requirements and whatnot makes people choose other hobbies definitely. Let's see, I'm headed to New Jersey for my nephew's wedding this weekend. That ought to be fun. Get to see all of the other siblings and families. And then back on Sunday night to go to work on Monday morning. Yeah, great to listen to the net. Yeah, KKC7-FYE, James and Molly.

I was living in Wisconsin at the time and thought it might be a good idea to learn to fly an airplane. So you take lessons from an instructor, and then after 40 hours or so, you can take a test. And then you are a, quote, private pilot. And I flew around a little bit after that and flew a little bit here in Seattle. But it's definitely more difficult and more expensive to fly here in Seattle. The weather is usually not great during portions of the year. So yeah, kind of gave it up.

I was at J.P. Patch's house, aka the city dump, and so I got that squared away. Listen, I wanted to give you a postscript on the groundbreaking story that I set up yesterday on Matt's famous chili dogs. It's no longer Matt's famous chili dogs, by the way. It's Matt's hot dogs. I talked to Matt Jones yesterday, who's ran it for, I don't know, 25, 30 years. Things have changed over the years there. Some old Seattleites might remember. I think when he got started, he actually may have got his buns from Chicago and or the hot dogs. I can't remember, but I think they were a black poppy seed. Now they're very much like a lobster roll sandwich bread kind of thing, which is actually quite good. The other thing that's missing is the fluorescent relish is gone. Anyway, I'm sure everybody's wondering about that, and that's why I wanted to let you know. Jack, given the fact that you're a vegetarian, you're very good humored about this, Stephen. Talk about it. And then not drinking meat anymore. Let me tell you, with your personal habits, Jack, you cannot talk to my personal nutritionist ever because she'll want me on the same program. Last thing regarding hot dogs, you were talking about Amy being from Chicago, and I heard she said she was at Rainier and South Walden, so I'm assuming that's Rainier. And the question is, it sounded like she, that it was like a DOT kind of thing, but is it Howell or is it Howl Street? That's one thing when you're here in the city you've got to figure out. So, listen, I'm going to throw it back to you. Enjoy this great day.

Tell us a little bit about yourself, your radio projects or just about anything else. Please limit your reports to three minutes so you can get as many stations in as possible. This is also when the repeater turns out. When you're finished with the report, please end with your call sign. That will keep the FCC happy. I'll be compiling with the stations that would like to check in and then we'll ask for your reports. If you'd like to check in on any of the other stations, please do so.

Well, good evening to the net. This is KJ7JXM Robert, and I am feeling considerably better. I'm going to say I'm still up to 90% rate. Still got a little bit of congestion, a little bit of runny nose, a little bit of a cough. But the energy is up there. My energy level is probably about a 75% to 80% of what it usually is. And I've got really good, exciting news that business is picking up. I have three more estimates I need to write for another dealership, and hoping that I can get to pull the trigger on those, and that will put six vehicles in the lineup that need to be done, three that I have parts arriving for and just need to get here and start drilling holes into them, and then three more that will be waiting for parts and PO numbers to arrive. So I'm hoping to pull some triggers on that next week. I've got to kind of make some phone calls and see if I can't get set up as a dealer for a couple of different parts, because one particular client wants a specific brand of strobe light, and it's not one that I have readily available. So I've got to see if I can't get signed up as a dealer for this product line so that I can have a good buying power and or check through my employer and see if they have this product line available and what kind of pricing I would be looking at for these items, that I can get that quote sent off to the dealer and see if I can't snag the job. The amazing part with that is my employer is cool with me doing this. It's jobs that are way too small for the types of invoices they like. They prefer their invoices to be six and seven digits. I'm happy if my invoices are three to four digits. If I get a five-digit invoice, I might be getting a little bit ahead of myself. So yeah, we'll just go with that. So as long as I stay in the three to four-digit invoice range, I'm a happy camper, and especially since if I keep this rate up, I will be hitting my goal for the year. So I'm pretty good about that too. Other than having to do this stuff out in the gravel driveway and partially in the garage, I really have nothing to complain about in that aspect. So I am blessed. I am happy. And I am just ecstatic that I have so many great friends and so many great people on my list around me. So thanks to the two of you amazing folks for everything you do.

So there you go. So I said to him to, you know, hear some words with the other Robert and tell him not to bring those things to work to spread around. I'm feeling a lot better. I'd almost lost my voice, but it's on the upswing now, and we both went to work today, so that was a good sign as well. It has been a long day. It's been a long week already. I had my meeting with my manager today and learned that in the reorg, I'm not really being reorged. I get to keep my area of responsibility, which is what I really hoped for, and I get to keep reporting to the same person, which also is what I was hoping for. So it's a win-win situation for me, and for that I am grateful. And it would have been fine if I moved areas of responsibility and I had to report to someone else. All of the people that I work with are fantastic, so I wouldn't have been upset or anything like that, but I'm thrilled that I get to keep where I'm at now. Sorry, words are hard. It's late.

When I got back to my trailer, I turned the radio on, and I heard Sean talking about a van. And I was like, I wonder if she's talking about my dad's van. And I hope she didn't say what I typed into Telegram. But the something something, he ended up calling 1-800-GOT-JUNK. They come out, grab 3 quarters of their truck load. I think, I don't even know how many yards it was. They do, I think, like 15 by 10 by 5 or something. It hasn't been wider than 5. I don't know. But it was expensive. So just be prepared. If you decide to pass away, and you have all your ham radio junk laying around, and your wife has to get rid of it, you're going to cost her a lot of money with 1-800-GOT-JUNK. That's why I've been trying to send my hoard out, because Laura jokes about calling them. And I don't think she would really want to. She would probably go rent a U-Haul, and load it up, and bring it to Factorio. But we digress. My feet hurt, my back hurts, and I'm ready to go home. I'm going to pack up in the morning and start my adventure. Who knows where it will lead me? Maybe we go, I can't really go to Moab without Laura. That wouldn't be right. I thought about going to Kenneth's house, but that's kind of like way detouring, and then going up to 101. But I definitely, let me reset."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-15T21:53:52+00:00","id":61329,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":61328,"text":" When I get to Oregon, I'm going to track down an RV place, and I'm getting one of those Maxx Air fans that maybe I'll even splurge because it's tax-free Oregon. I'll get the one with the remote control, even though I can literally touch the roof from where I'm playing. And here's a heads up for everyone that does have those. My dad has one in his van, and he apparently hit his head on it. And I told him, I was like, maybe you hit your head on it because it wasn't spinning. So I took the screen off, and it started spinning. So then I put the screen back on, and it was still spinning. So yeah, don't hit those things because they might not spin. And then you'll get a new one and think that's the problem, but it really wasn't. What else do we have? I got Laura on the phone here. Say hi, Laura. Hi, everybody. And then I was wondering, I guess I'll save that for non-radio chat. Yeah, 7-3. This is Rekila Station Kilo Kilo 7, November 7, November. What an Apple. Full star note 6222. Located in Shelton, Washington. Well, Ryan, in fact, when you did turn the radio on, that was the conversation with Sean. She was talking about your dad's van, but I don't know if she knew it was your dad's van. So to clarify, Sean was talking about Ryan's dad's van. So Ryan is with his dad. His dad has a van that he camps in, and Ryan has his own trailer that he camps in, and they're on a trip together. So clarification there for those that do not know. And you're good, Ryan. She did not say anything besides that. So you're good. And yes, 1-800-GOT-JUNK, I have heard lots of things about them. So yes, it is just a great reminder to, do we call it fall clean, spring clean out your house frequently. I know Brooks and I try and do that often, too. Good luck, Ryan, there, wherever you adventure off to with your dad. That sounds like a great time. Say hello to Laura for us. And yeah, get yourself a Max Air Vent fan. They are a game changer. We have one in our trailer, and it is great. Good advice there. If you hit it accidentally, then it stops spinning. Check it before you go buy a new one. But Ryan Brooks wants to know if you're stopping at HRO.

I think people are really, really, really busy kind of doing things while the dollar is still worth a few cents and before the holidays, you know, make the traffic kind of unbearable more than it already is now that school's in session. All those school buses don't help a lot. Let's see what else is cooking. Just out here at the woodshed. I've been prepping out here to throw down another sheet of, well, the first was a one-inch piece of 100-year-old plywood, and now I've got some more normal stuff I'm going to throw out next to it and make a good floor of my woodshed out here under the dirt. And I think I found another animal burial site in here. I've got three cats and two birds, and I think there's probably some dogs here. I hope they're not human. Anyways, that's just something else to lay the dirt out above it and put out my plywood and see more yard work, and then we've got probably almost a week off and more inclement weather.

It'd be like maybe, like in Toronto you'd hear some London stations, you'd hear a few Buffalo stations that would be like maybe like your long distance. So there was like cool stuff like that.

So you used to hear a few of those and I used to have FM cable. And then they cancelled the service when they, you know, introduced the digital box in the 2000s. But then for a while they moved a lot of the cable FM channels onto the higher part of the Music Choice band. So you'd have all your Music Choice stuff on Rogers and then higher than that, like, well old days it used to be like 9 channel 900 and something.

Like so so all it did was make phone calls you couldn't do no internet stuff with it So in those years when I came out here, I was on this whole thing about a smartphone so It's the funny thing is I'm kind of a late bloomer on that ish since I bought you know my blind shell in 2020 fall like I even remember because I was Talking to you guys about it so May June of 1980 1980 19 What 19? 2024 in the June type thing, right?

I remember that. You were worried that day. And yeah, I didn't know that the phone was in Europe. I remember you told me that. So it's not like you can just go to the Apple store and swap it out. So that's a big problem. Hey, it would be nice in the future now that the technology, it would be nice if there was an app where you could go, say for an iPhone, and put the blind shelf app right on your iPhone so you can use it. That would be a tremendous step. But of course, I don't want to do that because everybody is like leeches out there.

I mean I don't know. Because it does kind of take you back a few years and then a few years. Right? Because the style of writing and texting is similar to what the old flip phones used to be where you have to put in the letter, when you put in letters you have to type in the letter position of what they are. But I'm fast as hell on that because I used to do that old days too. There was one time, I mean the other guy spoke of like Rogers A&T&T so yeah I used to have those old simplistic phones. And the way you, and yeah there were older ones in the old days for me that talked but that's how you wrote was you had to put, you had to on the numeric keypad you had to put in the positions of the letters. But I can do that like nothing. So that's how the blind shell works. But I kind of figured there could be some people, some sighted people that might like it. It has a pretty good screen and it has a lot of landmarks and a lot of things that a sighted person can relate to. And so they probably could use it. It goes back to why don't you try something newer. They must have something newer than blind shelf that is much more easier to adapt to. I'm sure it's hard to difficult especially if you're working and doing as much activity as you do. I understand it's almost impossible to transfer over to something new.

So even if I say I use it for work, a lot of it, I'm listening to the podcast, listening to the radio. My work gave me my first blind shell, the work one, so I could be reached, I could be text, and all the rest of it. And so as long as I'm doing that, I'm not even doing anything else hardly except for my music and radio things. I don't do tons of internet browsing to begin with on either the phone or my computer. It'll do all of it though, so it's modern. What happened was, the reason they made the phone is because you have a niche of blind people who don't like the touch screen, who won't learn it whatsoever. That's me. Who are anti-touch screen.

So like if you wanted the letter C you would hit 2 three times. If you wanted Q you hit 7 two times. I know all of those just like that, right? 9 is a little harder because they jam like 4 or 5 letters all in it but otherwise yeah and then what you would do, all those things including the blind shell, it would have the hammer clicks for as you're hitting those buttons as if to say is that what you want? Is that what you want letter A? No? Then C? Yeah? And then you wait for that hammer to click and you have it and it's clicked in. You just can't type fast but you can be fast on just kind of memorizing where all those are and then one has all your punctuations and characters. Star, you can maneuver menus with it.

Well yesterday afternoon I finally finished replacing the camera on the roof of pant two. And it was scary. I found out that the chimney is falling apart up there. So I don't know how long that chimney is going to last to hold that camera up. But it's working great. You know it's funny, you can talk yourself into being scared. I get up on that roof and it's not really that high. And it's flat and big and stuff. And yes there are edges and the camera is like hanging out over one of the edges. But I'm suddenly thinking to myself, you know this is not that scary. Because my heart is beating fast and everything is going crazy and I'm shuffling my feet around. And after I sort of made that realization that I was just scaring myself, it got a lot easier. It got a lot faster. I had the same thing happen to me on top of ladders. I used to work on ladders because I was a gaffer and a grip. And I was on ladders every day. You know walking them across the floor from the top. And then all of a sudden a couple of years ago I got worried about being up on ladders. You know especially tall ones. And I didn't want to do it. And then you know along goes another winter or something like that. And in the spring I'm going up and down the ladder like you know a mountain goat. You know I just stopped talking to myself about how horrible and scary it was. It went away. So I got that job done. I'm real thrilled. I'm looking at the camera right now. Works great. Put me on the long list Carol. This is KC2PKG."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-16T04:49:06+00:00","id":61532,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":61531,"text":" Alright, cool stuff, Greg. Well, glad you got that done. And just remember, I mean, there's nothing scary about the fall. It's that friggin' landing. That's the scary part. That's what gets me. Our house is two stories. And I don't know how many feet that is, but when you look up, it looks high up. And when you climb up there on a ladder, I mean, it's... You're extending that ladder to the brink of its capability. Excuse me. And when you walk up that ladder and it's like, bowing in and out, that's creepy AF to me, man. It really is. I don't like... It's not the height to step out of me, because I've worked on heights before, but I've also fallen off a scaffold from a couple of lengths up there, so it's not something I ever want to do again. I bounced off of that thing on the way down, and bruised and broke a couple of ribs, and it was not fun. So, I really don't like heights anymore. I mean, it's okay when you get up there, and we've got like a slanted roof. It's like a peaky kind of roof. You know, it slants down in the front and down in the back. And I want literally nothing to do with being up there. I'd like to have my antenna up there. Right now, it's on the back deck, which is like a two-story deck, so it's like up slightly above the roof line. On the second story of the deck, which I don't mind being up there, because there's two flight stairs that leads up to that deck. So, that doesn't bother me, but I'd love to have the antenna right up on the chimney. I bet it would roll my signal to the west end, because right now you go certain parts of the west end, it gets staticky. But that's just because of terrain, I think. I don't know. Next up, we're going to go to V-A-B-K-K-Y, even though I only put one K, so why? Good morning, Kevin. Yeah, all right, word is born. Yeah, I'm kind of afraid of heights too, but a lot of it, I can't even see it, right? So, that could be one thing that adds to it, but you don't even necessarily need to fall high to be embarrassed, right? I remember in a grade 9 school play that Mr. Nesbitt was running, see, I'm saying names up in this, and more like grade 7, wait a minute, yeah, something like grade 7, because I left that school shortly after that. And so, somewhere in that mix, I fell off the stage, because this was before at that school, they had tow lines and things on the stage, so you could fall off it. And I remember my pants split just like that, I don't know how the hell I covered myself to go in back to the residence to get a new pair of jeans, and I wasn't trying to rip those either, but yeah, they tore something terrible completely from the back. And even like, I took it home, and my dad still messed it down and sewed it back together again. He hasn't thrown anything away, right? So, and that was like a 4, 5 foot drop from the stage, right? Because I remember when I was speaking, I had one of the microphones, and then I was kind of being a little bit too comfortable, so the microphone slides out of my hand, falls onto the platform, and then shortly after, me kaplunking somewhere a few inches away from the audience with the hard metal benches and that, right? I probably could have injured myself falling on one of those, because they had the long metal benches where they keep the people in the audience, right? And so, you don't have to fall off the high rise to be afraid, you can just fall off the stage. I pulled a Gerald Ford up in that piece. Best believe, kid. Let's see, sometime today, I'm lamping out right now, listening to CBC Van, and they said that at about 10, 16 my time, see them, so they'll be a minute even, they don't go around with that, they're telling you the minutes. They basically, they're testing out the emergency system, so all phones here are going to go kaflui. They're having an earthquake drill, which I always kind of remember three simple rules, right? I picked it up living in the bay, it was like stop, drop, and cover? Stop, drop, and cover, or something like that? And so they're doing some kind of earthquake drill here in Vancouver in a little while, that's going to make, wow, about 1.16 your time where phones are about to go eeeeaaah, eeeeaaah, right? Don't you like that? When that nighttime dust is going off, you know, somebody missing, and then you hear this eeeeaaah, eeeeaaah, eeeeaaah, and if you're like my dad, he'll let it go forever because he won't, he doesn't know how to shut it off, right? Because he ain't really messing with the touchscreen too much. That's funny when sighted people don't want to put touchscreens. I thought that was a blindy thing, like a blind person saying, I'll put touchscreens, that. But he, I guess he's not down with it either, he's fully sighted, right? He got eyes, I don't. And so what's really funny is, he'll let that go forever, and then it occurs to him later that you do the tippity-tap situation, you okay it, you get out of it, and it'll never bother you ever again. Because there's times he'll let one of those warnings go the day into the next day, and then try to hide his phone, right? It's hilarious. Look for a drawer in a far off place to try to hide it so he can stop hearing the buzzing noise that it's making with the alert. Now my blind shell, I don't like it when it does it right. It freezes my keypad and all that stuff. But the point blank is, I know how to get out of it. It's inconvenient, but I can get out of it. I'm not going to let that beep all day. That is crazy. It's crazy. All right, so anyways, I should be here, but yep, just know that if you, anybody in here who's in VE7 land, so that means nobody, there's a possibility that your phones are going to be nervous in like five, six hours from now. So if you're doing that earthquake drill, because you never know, then somebody might get hit with something, yo. There never have been, but things that never happen to Vancouver eventually does. And so, alert the bums and the addicts that are sleeping on the pavement. Wait a minute, they got phones. If anybody's alerting anybody, they'll alert you. I mean, they've got way better phones than I do sometimes. I mean, they're sporting some serious gear. Those are the people like, they sleep in the subways and in the tunnels. They got better cooking gear and better food than I do at the house. So no, some of them, these are posting high, best believe. Okay, well, I don't know if I'm posting high, but I'm posting for the rest of the group to continue, so I'll put it back to you. I should be here. I don't have to work. It's not a work day. Word them up. Okay, so back to you, Daryl, from VA3. KKY, yep, you know the business."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-16T04:50:13+00:00","id":61533,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":61532,"text":" Find it hilarious Myself Kevin.

Oh, man, I am tired. Looked good in Shepton, Washington. We got to Grantsville yesterday, delivered. I got about two and a half hours between where we switched. We grabbed showers in Cedar City and then drove up to Springville. So I got about two and a half hours there and then I tried to get a little more sleep. Between Springville and Grantsville, but that was only about an hour and a half of driving. And by then I was just still too tired. So I laid down but didn't really fall asleep. And then after Grantsville, I got another hour and a half where I laid down. I may have gotten a few minutes here and there, but more cost than in turn. And then we had to do a local 30 miles down, 30 miles back. So I didn't get any sleep during that point. But by the time we got back to the yard where they gave us fuel, my student wasn't going to have enough time to get us down to Springville where I would have been able to get some sleep. So I just told him to worry about it. I'm going to take over, but first I had to get at least three and a half, four hours sleep. So I got about three and a half, four hours. Then got up, started driving, had to get fuel, which we'll call it. Getting a lot of, must be Kevin, messaging. A lot of messages going through. But yeah, so now it's just rain, rain, rain here. I'm almost to Salt Lake City. I'm in either Ogden or North Salt Lake City here, but I'm just drained. So I'll be looking forward to when my student gets his ten hours up and I can grab a little more sleep. But I've already promised my daughter, my son-in-law, that I'd help him out tomorrow if they need my help. He said he's got probably another two loads of block that he's got to get transported.

Sometimes no sleep is better than broken sleep. I really don't like broken sleep. Often times when I fall asleep on the couch, which I do quite a bit, I'm usually watching TV and I'll just flake out. I'll wake up at 2 o'clock in the morning and I'll be like nah, I'm not going to go to bed. I'm nice and warm. I like the nice soft fuzzy fleece blankets on there. It's just nice and warm. So I just end up going to take a leak and then I'll jump back in underneath the blankets in the couch because they're already warm. That's the way I look at that one. Then I get woken up by the cat. I mean Dewey woke me up this morning licking my arm. I mean it's unnerving when you're not expecting it, you know, sandpaper licking to your cat tongue on your arm. It's very unnerving. It snaps you awake so quick, right? But he doesn't mean to wake me up. He just wanted to make sure I was still alive. I'm sure the ghastly sounds I make when I'm asleep probably scared the hell out of him or something. So he just wanted to make sure I was okay. I just reached over and gave him a little scratch. I put this ottoman next to the couch that I lay stuff on like when I'm laying back, you know, my phone, my vape, a couple of remotes, you know, things like that. And normally what he'll do is he'll get up and he'll swat those things off the ottoman. And if that doesn't wake me up, then he'll reach over and either reach out a paw and tap me with his nails out like just tap, tap, tap. And that's enough to sterile you. But it's those licks, man, that really get me, freak me out. And then I just reach over and, you know, give him a scratch and he purrs and he just typically lays down and leaves me alone. They're like these cats, they like to sleep really close. The only one that doesn't is So-So. And she sleeps in the same room like she'll lay on the back of one of the couches, you know, in the room. But the other two, I mean, Shadow, he wants to sleep on the couch with me. Like he'll sleep like down between my ankles or between my knees, usually under the blanket or on top of it. But that's where he likes to sleep. And Dewey, he'll just, you know, sleep on the next couch. Or if he wakes me up, he'll jump up on that ottoman that I was talking about. He'll sleep like right next to my head. But when you got three of them, like So-So never bothers me. She'll sleep all night long. I'll wake up. She's in exactly the same spot she was in. But the other two, they'll move throughout the night and wake me up usually. All right.

So, it's not like back around the turn of the 1800 to 1900s you know when the solution for anything was, well, we'll just saw off that foot and saw off that leg to the knee there and cauterized that with a blowtorch. And what's that? You got a pain in your tooth? Okay, well, we'll pull that out with pliers here and we'll give you some cocaine for your pain and send you on your way. What's that? The cocaine is not good enough? Well, here's some heroin for your pain. You know, because that's great stuff too. Which were both legal substances around the turn of the 1800 and 1900s. Both drugs were in pretty much every doctor's care bag, you know, right next to the digitalis and whatever else they carry. I know cocaine and heroin were top of the list, man. You could order that shit from like Sears and Roebuck back around the turn of the century. It would come in a kit. You'd get a couple of needles and you'd get a, you know, a little bit of heroin and, you know, whatever other supplies that people use or that kind of stuff. But it got to be a problem. You know, people were getting addicted to it, obviously. And you know, it caused major problems. So yeah, crazy times. AB1AI, Brian, you're up next, man. Good morning. How's everything going with you? So hospitals and bike paths, hey? I was listening before the match and everybody in here just gets a beat. Hospitals and bike paths. Man, you don't have much worries.

Good morning, everybody on the net. Life's coming down to bicycle paths and hospitals. Yeah, I was surprised. I didn't even know it. Yesterday I was on and I actually bought six acres of land and I didn't even know I owned it until later in the day when I checked my email. I was arguing about the guy because we were going to buy this a lot, like a year ago when we were hiring. And I told him it was sold. And then on the way back, my best friend backed out and he said, Call the guy back. We aren't buying it. Now the guy's thinking I'm a little loony in the head, but they went back a week ago and they accepted the money. I've got to get them the money now, so that's the other thing. But I'll be a DE-9, I guess. I guess that's what I'll be, a DE-9. But I won't be living there for another 18 months. I'll build a cottage there and just live in it year-round. So that will be the thing there. Riding the bicycles and not doing much. It will be nice out there. They can have an outside garden and everything, so it will be different. It will be fun. It's way out in the woods. There's no neighbors or nothing, so it's in a really remote section. It will be different. I might have to get an electric bike to get around because it would be on a dirt road. Anyway, I'm not going to hold it. I'm going to be one and done, and I'm going to be listening because I've got to get going. I've got like a million things I've got to do today.

They'll verbally give you the test. You won't have to read it. They'll also write down your answers. I did have that accommodation when I got my test. All you've got to do is contact Science, Trade and Technology to let them know what you're trying to do. And they will appoint an official from that organization that's in that area to administer your test. When it comes to a repeater in Canada, your friend will need to have an advanced license. Now, I don't have an advanced license, but I do have a repeater because there's a stipulation in there that says you can have someone else with an advanced license sponsor the repeater. So the call sign, V01-XMT, that's on the repeater here, that doesn't belong to me. It belongs to someone else. So should they down the road decide, hey, I want that call sign for a different repeater, I'd have to find someone else to put a different call sign on that repeater. Now, I know enough people with advanced qualifications that would sponsor a call sign. I mean, it's obvious. I know how to administer a repeater. And that's the thing, right? They don't want people with just basic licenses administering repeaters and having them noisy and stuff like that. But I mean, I know how to administer a repeater. I've had Simplex nodes for years. But that's how the repeater thing works. You do need someone with an advanced license to sponsor it. That advanced test, man, it's freaking hard. That's like the extra test in the States, right? And I've taken it multiple times over the years, and I've bombed it multiple times over the years. I don't mind saying it's a hard test. So hopefully that all works out for you. And a Simplex node is good, and you can have that with a basic license. But you can't have a full duplex repeater, unfortunately, without a sponsor. And I hope that the boys don't ever want that call sign, you know, and they just register a new one for another repeater, because I really like having that repeater on the air here. But should they ever decide to pull that call sign, man, I'd have to shut it down. It's just the law. I would have to turn off the switch. But I find someone else in advanced pretty quick to get another call sign put on it. So, you know, the city here, we don't want repeaters getting shut down. We want as many as possible that are on the air and functioning. And this one is probably in the best condition of most repeaters around town, to be honest with you. It's not noisy. It's in an excellent location, you know, really high up. It covers the whole city with a portable. I mean, you can't say that about many of the other repeaters around here. There's not many other repeaters around here. There's only like five in the whole city. Probably five or six, I'm not the one that got here, but... A lot of them are noisy. A lot of them are old. You know, they've got interference around them. They get like noise bursts, you know, different things. But we'll see. All right. We're at the bottom of the list again, ladies and gentlemen. So it's time to make another call for check-ins.

I'm just having a bit of fun with you man, that's all. You know, make no offense to that, I don't like that, but you know me, right? Anyway, yeah, it's a lot of the same for me. I've done a lot of traveling over the years. You know, from here to Canada, to the States, to Africa, to the UK, you know, I've been around. And I've seen places and seen things and seen the way of life and different things. And there's just no place like home, man. I absolutely love Newfoundland, I really do. It's a beautiful, picturesque province where you can get just about anything you want. We've even got spots where there's sandy beaches, if you can believe that. Northern Bay Sands is a beautiful spot, and they've actually got sandy beaches there. Not really anywhere else in the island. When you talk about a beach in Newfoundland, you're talking about rocks and ocean. And it's a beach, technically. You're probably not going to want to be sunning yourself there or whatever. Well, you know, maybe you will. I do know a rocky beach where a lot of people do get together, and there's a lot of grass there too. But right close to the water, it's all rocks. Most of which are very smooth. They call them beach rocks, right? They're oval-shaped and round and stuff. You don't usually find too many pointy rocks on a North Atlantic beach. They're usually all rounded and stuff from the ocean and smacking against each other and stuff. They're usually nice, round rocks. And I've always found that fascinating too. My niece, the mean one, she's 19 and she still collects beach rocks. I don't know why, but she's got the mind of like a 10-year-old, I think. You know, it's unfortunate, but it is the way it is, man. I mean, last week her sister got a little doll at the dollar store. It was this cheap little thing. I think she paid like two or three bucks for it. And the 19-year-old cried, little girl, because she didn't get one. And that blew my friggin' mind. I just couldn't comprehend crying over a little kid doll when you're an adult. I don't get that, man. But that's the way she is. I just don't understand it. And when she gets angry, she'll scream and yell and swear and degrade people and call you nasty stuff. Just like what a kid would do having a temper tantrum. It's kind of unique. I've never really seen that type of behaviour in a grown-ass adult before. I just really have it. Like, tantrums. And, I mean, she told her grandfather, my dad, to go F himself last week. He's an old bastard and this and that. Man, this stuff she didn't say to him. And you know what that was over? She had taken the protective plastic off her rare and old card notebooks and then said she didn't do it. But she had the stack of plastics and the stack of comic books right in front of her and she said she didn't do it. But meanwhile, he walked in on her sliding a book out of one of those plastic protectors. So he said, don't do that. He said, they're expensive and it takes away the value. Which it does. Anybody that ever knows anything about comic books or card collecting or any of that stuff, you know damn well you keep it in the protective casing. Any oil on it from your fingers, it all degrades the value, right? Well, she absolutely freaked out. She slid the whole stack of comics and the plastics right onto the floor with her arm. She stormed out of the house. She started yelling and swearing at him from the back deck. She was throwing deck furniture around. I mean this was an absolute chaos here in this house last week. And she's freaked at me twice since mom died like that. She's freaked at my brother the same way. Calling him down to the dirt. Calling me down to the dirt. It's just not, it's not adult behavior. And I told my sister, I said she has to go for a psychiatric evaluation. That's like not being an ass about it. That's legit. She's got something wrong upstairs and it either has to be medicated or gone through with counseling or something or she's not going to change. I said she'll be 20 years old on her birthday and this is the way she still acts. I mean that is not cool. And it turned out like a bunch of dad's comics got all buckled up from hitting the floor and pages got like folded like dog ears and stuff. And no remorse whatsoever. No remorse. I just, I don't get it. The type of person like that, that's someone that could like you know get so angry that they stabbed someone and they wouldn't care. You know? You've got to show remorse for negative actions and I don't see that in this kid. Well in this adult. But it blows my mind. I got to be honest. KC2PKGGray, same question to you man.

Now I have advice for people who move to the woods to it's very quiet. First thing, you can hear a pin drop across the other side of the lake. It is not a lot of people around. So if you're not a big people fan, or a fan of neighbors and stuff like that, you don't have to worry about. I will tell you though, you were talking about getting a quad or something like that. I think it'd be much smarter to look into a side by side. A couple of reasons for that. If you don't see that well, it's really nice to have a windshield in front of you. The other thing that's really nice to have is a roof because you know what, some days it rains. You don't want to, you know, get out in the rain to get on your quad. You're telling me sound like you could have a lot of services around there. So you may have to haul stuff. Wood from the store groceries, garbage, I don't know who can do your garbage pickup, but you may have to haul it to the local dump. So think about a side by side. You know, they're no harder to drive than a car. They're much simpler actually. And you can still have a lot of fun with them. Zipping around in the woods if you want, but it's a utility vehicle. And that's why I got what I wanted to get. My mules utility vehicle. Anyway, so I love living in the woods.

And the reasons are you're not right in the centre of the vehicle when you're operating it. You're sitting to the left, right? So rather than the right side, I have a difficult time judging the distance. Because my depth of field sucks because I don't have two eyes, right? I mean I do have two eyes but only one works.

My wife's friend, the one that immigrated from Germany, she lives in Phoenix, so they wanted to be close to her. Matter of fact, we lived with her for the first year we were out in Phoenix until we found a house and it got built. Plus, the headquarters for my company is right there in Phoenix, about four and a half miles from where we live, so it worked out pretty good as far as that goes. I like the mountains, even though we're in the valley. I like having seen the mountains in the background there. But, you know, even though I live there, I hardly live there. Being on the road, I spend a lot of time up here in Utah, so I get my four seasons up here. Right now, I get the range. But, yeah, for the last 29 years, I've just been all over the place. I haven't been in any one place for very long, you know. Even when we, well, we started out upstate New York when I started driving. That's where my wife's parents were from. And then once they passed, we moved out to California. That's where I mostly grew up. Then my parents left and we stayed there for a while longer, but then we finally moved out to Arizona. Then my daughter and her husband and grandkids moved out to Arizona. So the only one that I have left in California is my son. But I miss California. I mean, I grew up there with the beach and the mountains and Tijuana and I just miss the ocean, being close to the water. But as a truck driver living out there, I just didn't get out there very often. Not often at all. So, but that's, you know, like I said, we got out to Arizona. That's an incredible, all right, about eight years ago. And I like how it's warm all the time. You know, in the wintertime, it's nice because, you know, it gets cool in the evening. You know, you get to wear a sweater or a light jacket. But even though I miss the snow, I don't miss the snow.

But they don't hang out here anymore because the cats have gotten all the mice and moles and everything else. We don't see a lot of coyotes because there's a guy down the lake in one of the big bays who puts meat out on the ice. And then puts his rifle up on the counter by his kitchen table and as they go investigate the meat he shoots them. And I'm up two minds about that. You know, coyotes eat cats so I don't like them for that reason. But, you know, just indiscriminate killing. And he doesn't have to go clean it up either. In the spring the ice melts and they fall in the lake. We do have that fisher around, although I haven't seen hiding a hair of him in about a year.

And I was asked to bring a lunch with me because I wanted to sit down by the pond and have a couple sandwiches and a joint and just sit down and take it easy. Well I fed one of my sandwiches to the fox and the baby fox. I laid it on the rock and backed the quad up and the fox took the sandwich and ran off into the woods with it. I was hoping they were going to sit there and eat it and I could watch them and maybe take a few pictures. Not a chance. The mother fox took the sandwich, ran into the woods with it and the baby followed it. But they were cute man. I've got a bad habit of feeding foxes around here. It's been bred into my family for generations that foxes by nature are not mean and they're not. At least the ones around here. Out by Cape Spear you can park in the parking lot out there at night and if you shut off your headlights and you're really quiet they'll come right down around the cars, park in the lot and investigate the cars because people have been feeding them for many, many decades. My grandfather started it with us when we were very, very young. What he would do is he'd go to the store and my family owns the store up here so he would go and get all the ends of the bologna's and the turkey breast and the salami's and stuff like that. All the ends, you know the ones you can't really cut up and sell people and we would take a bag of ends out to Cape Spear and we'd feed the foxes. It was something we did regularly. So when I got older my brother-in-law and my sister we took my nieces and their kids out to feed the foxes and it blew their minds. We were a little more careful than my grandfather was because he was like, oh yeah they're all friendly and he had names for them all and we were calling them by names and stuff. It was like a family thing. Now with my nieces we told them don't ever come doing this by yourself unless you're older or whatever because they could bite you. But I don't remember ever hearing a story of anybody getting bitten by a fox up here. And there was one they used to call it, my grandfather used to call it the mother fox. It only had three legs because it apparently had gotten caught in a rabbit snare and it only had three legs but it was still giving birth to the litters of babies. And it's those babies or their babies or something that are out there now to this day and you can still drive out there and feed them. I don't do it by hand anymore because I don't trust to not get the hand bitten off you but we'll lay things outside the car and they'll come and they'll eat it. We had foxes that were on the hood of the car. Me and my ex-girlfriend, geez 20 years ago now, went out."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-16T05:52:04+00:00","id":61590,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":61589,"text":" I went to the store and got the ends from my aunt and she said, you're going to feed the foxes, aren't you?

So as soon as I asked her for the ends of all the meats, she said, you're going to feed the foxes. And we went out there and put the stuff on the ground next to the car and I said to Sarah, I said, now watch, we won't be here in either 20 minutes and these foxes will be down. And sure enough, there was foxes and the little ones were like jumping up on the hood of the car and, you know, just eating up these ends of these deli meats. And it blew her mind because she never sees anything like it before, you know, people feeding foxes. And I'm like, you know, we've been doing this for years out here and I would still do it. I'd still go out there and feed the foxes. As a matter of fact, I've got a video and I don't know if any of you guys have seen this video or not, but I've got a video of me feeding foxes by hand or feeding a fox by hand, I should say. And it was one New Year's Eve, we were out having a party at a little cabin that was owned by my brother-in-law's family and the fox came right up to the door and we were in party and we had a cooked duck, a roasted duck that was just sitting on the table. We were going to eat it ourselves and we fed the majority of that duck to this fox and he had a limp. And so he obviously was after getting hurt or something and he had a limp and he came right up on the deck and he was taken duck legs, you know, right out of her hand and he'd run down to the ground off the deck and eat the meat and then he'd come back and get some more.

My mom used to feed a stray dog all the time that was on our street. Eventually it killed over and died in the middle of the street, and she had to take care of it. It cost her $175 at the Humane Society for the cremation. I would later have to do that for her too when another, I guess I'll say one of her dogs, because she was looking after a toy pug for my brother, and then it died in 2011. And then it was my turn to, well my dad put it in a plastic bag and took it to the Humane Society. We burnt it. I just kind of remembered following a page from her. That's what she did, so that's what I'll do. And they gave me the choice. They said, would you like it cremated or that? And so it cost me $50. I had it in my pocket, so I said, worry about it dad.

Well, so he would give this fox like little droplets of alcohol that he would steal from Mr. McCowan, the dorm parent at that place. And one day he figured out the situation, because I was visiting, and so then I had at least prepared the little thing that he uses, the little jigger, I guess, that he uses.

So that was one instance that was kind of funny. Yeah, the dog that my mom, the stray dog that my mom, I guess essentially not really adopt because it's continued to just roam free on our street.

My mom always thought it was Providence. Providence? Is that how you say it right? To have it around him. No, it wasn't her. She called it Tara and she kind of could tell that it must have ran away. And so she would bring out things of milk or whatever and it would just kind of shyly you know lap up the milk and then sort of make itself scarce. But not for long.

Thank you much. Yeah, I guess I was seeing my wife off to the surgery room and we were close to colony. So it was like it was pretty nice there. You know, it's a big difference from what I remember this hospital. I was here for surgery about 15 years ago and it made a lot of good changes. So I'm feeling a lot more comfortable with this place. The only reason why we used this place in the first place was the doctor that she went to was number one in the Kansas City area for this particular thing. So here's nose and throat. So you got to go where he goes for surgery, right? So animals, let's see here. You know, I got the chihuahuas and they're not vicious animals by no means. In fact, they're the most quaint patient chihuahuas I've ever known in my life. So that's not a big deal even though we live in a suburb of Kansas City, we keep finding all kinds of animals around the house. Let me see here. We got the, what do you call it? The buzzer hawk, chicky hawk, buzzer hawk. They're always flying around. These are pretty big birds around here. And I'm always afraid because my one dog is six pounds and the other dog is rather 10 pounds now. And these things are big enough to take and swoop them up and fly away. So we got to be really careful with that. We go outside, we make sure that we look up and see if there's anything around. And we've had a couple of owls in our yard. They seem to hang around our place. Same thing at night. You got to be careful with that. These are some pretty big owls. Beautiful creatures, you know, but you know, they're most definitely meat eaters. Everything I'm naming off here is something to kill my dog easily. And then we have like gophers. Now I haven't seen a gopher a long time. I see them out in Kansas all the time, but I didn't see them in Missouri. And there's one hanging around our house there too. I'd chase it away the other day. These things are pretty timid though. You get up to them and yell at them and they run like a bat out of hell. And you don't see them for days on end after that. So you got that. And what else do we have? Raccoons. I've seen one of them. And a, what do you call them? Possum. Occasionally we get a possum. On the north side of town one time, reset. On the north side of town one time we were living in a townhouse and we had some friends over and we're at the kitchen table and we're having a good time. And all of a sudden this possum comes up on the back porch and it jumps up on the, it was a glass sliding door. Like he wants to come in, you know, like a puppy, you know, let me in, let me in. And here my daughter, she was about four at the time, she walked by that way, they saw that animal and was proceeding to let that possum into our house. No, don't do that. So I was listening about what you were talking about, being a little squirmish about the fish and putting worms on the hook and stuff like that, though. And I used to be that way until I got down to Arkansas and this guy taught me everything to know, I should know about hunting and fishing and he got me over that after a while. You just got to keep up with it and eventually you, it's an everyday thing, you can do it. But we're not much, I'm not much into hunting anymore. I haven't done that in a long time. I plan to pick up some fishing when I start retiring. I figure that'd be the end of the thing you could keep me, I don't know, well, I'll, I'll kin to that after not being around fishing for the last 40 years or so.

And let me tell you right now, if I ever, ever encountered a baby raccoon, it would be my pet so fast it would make your head spin. Uh, it really would. And I'd call it Bandit. I've already got that figured out. Its name would be Bandit because of the mask on its eyes, you know. And, uh, it would be, it kinda wouldn't be good because raccoons, when they're not out in the wild, and you're, you got them as a pet, cause I've seen videos where people have them as pets, and they're always overweight. And, you know, because they're not out getting the exercise that they normally do, running around the neighborhood, climbing in and out of dumpsters. So raccoons tend to get overweight really quick. And that's a sad situation, cause you see these guys and they can barely clean themselves anymore because, you know, they're so fat. And I think that's sad, but, I mean, if you had one, you'd have to find a way to keep it exercised, or something, you know, maybe like a cat wheel. I've always wanted one of those. They're incredibly expensive. But, a cat wheel. I wonder if my cats would use it. You know, get in there and go for a run or even like, you know, a long walk. I've seen people with them, some cats love them, and they go just like hamsters, and they're running and running and running. But then other cats couldn't be bothered with it. And it is an expensive toy, just to try out, right? For a cat. But yeah, I mean, raccoons, they're just, I don't know, they get their little paws, and they hold stuff in their hands while they're eating it. I mean, they're adorable. They really are. I understand why people wouldn't want, you know, wild raccoons around your house, tearing up your trash cans and all that, but I mean, if you had one and it was inside, and you raised it from a little baby, and, you know, you got it spayed or neutered or whatever, if you found a veterinarian that would actually do that. Because I'm not sure if they're legal to have as pets in the United States or not. I know certain states do allow desexed or desensitized skunks as pets. But I wonder about raccoons. Are they allowed to be kept as pets? Bill, we're going to go back to you, man. What animals do you have in and around your house? Like I said before, we know about your puppies.

I was up in, I think, North Dakota or someplace like that, or maybe South Dakota, Montana. But there were some rabbits out in this park, but they weren't the jackrabbits that I would normally see being from in a desert area. The rabbits that were up there, they were different colors. Like maybe someone had a rabbit from a pet store and then let it loose because they didn't want to take care of it anymore. And then all of a sudden, you got these rabbits brown and black and white. But very good colors for surviving out there in the wilderness. But yeah, I think, like I said, coyotes, road runners. I see road runners all the time out there in Phoenix. And then, you know, hawks.

She is very much the alpha. And then my wife's fourth dog, the little Chihuahua which was another dog that we rescued. So we have two dogs that we paid for and we have two rescues. So and then we have cats. You know I like our cats, the ones that we actually let in the house. There's only two of them that we let in the house. The rest of them are neighborhood cats. But Knox is our big daddy. We've had him 10 years or so. And then Lily, Lily's our new adopted cat. We adopted her, oh I don't know, six months ago. A little bitty bitty baby kitten. And she is one of the prettiest marking cats that I've ever seen. But we have a bunch of, well I say a bunch, we have three white, beautiful white side of me looking cats that were in our neighborhood. One's long haired, one's short haired and one's panda which means it looks like a panda. And so I think the whole neighborhood claims them. They're real pretty. So that's the neighborhood, or at least the animals here. Oh and we got chickens. And we got all kinds of things. We're in Texas, right? We got snakes and spiders and bobcats and you name it, we got it. They even say the little bears are back on the east side of Texas. I don't know, I hadn't seen it. But I know we have gators in my neck of the woods. I've seen a few gators in the old garages here and there. So we have all that kind of stuff. I don't know, we grew up with it. It's kind of like the people in Australia. You know, they grow up with all the things that can bite them in Australia and they just think it's life. That's kind of how I feel like down here. We grew up running around the river and seeing rattlesnakes and water moskins and copperheads. You know, those are three of the deadly snakes we have around here. And I mean, we ran into each kind multiple times throughout my life. So anyhow, that's long enough. I figured I'd give you all a break. Y'all have been talking. I figured you might just need a little bit of a break. So there you go.

They call it anaphylactic shock is what they do to me. They shut down my nervous system and my throat closes off. Oh man, that's just from a bee or a wasp. I had a bee sting me about 12 or 13 years ago, I suppose. And I ended up four days in a row in the emergency room from one bee sting. I'd gotten stung and they couldn't find the stinger. And every time the epinephrine and Benadryl would wear off, this poison would circulate back through me again and I'd end up really sick again and end up back in the hospital. And these were 911 calls, these were ambulances had to come and take me out of the house four days in a row from one bee sting. I mean, I got a bad, bad allergic reaction to those things. And I'm guessing anything else like a snake or a spider or something really venomous, that would probably do me in immediately. I don't know what it is with my body when it comes to venom. It just really does a number on me to the point where I've got to have EpiPens near me or in my pocket or on the bike wherever I go. And I usually do have one in the storage box or in a backpack or something on the bike when I go out for rides and stuff because you never know. And if I get stung and I'm in the middle of nowhere, that shot of adrenaline, that's going to save my life and possibly make it so I can get out of the woods to get help. Because once I take that shot of Epi, I mean, if you cure adrenaline, that gets your heart pumping again even if it's stopped. Epinephrine or Epi, that's a brutal drug, man.

It was kind of crazy. I still had the bites and stings all over me on my arms and my neck and my chest and stuff because we were you know running around as kids, you know never had no shirts on, it was summer time and it turns out it was a hornet's nest that I had fallen into while we were playing hide and seek and I had jumped off of the walking path into the bushes right into a hornet's nest and that's not fun even if you're not allergic to them, that's not fun.

It's an old-time House built 42. It's got old old wiring it's got the old kind of wiring where you know, they have insulators and You know, there's wires connected between the insulators Anyway, it's a really a something but it's got the old-time fuses anyway So I wanted to make the kitchen light work anyway long story short it's working but I had to do that I just I routed wire outside just plugged it in externally Anyway, I'm doing that. I got my fix this morning on Morse code a lot of Morse code a lot of bugs coming in I tell you must be the time where they're all dying big great big match or something So that's what's flying around here. I've been talking hearing about all the bugs and animals and everything got shipmunks here, too Anyway, I don't know what else to say you've done all kind of topics so I'm just gonna say good morning everybody You can keep me on the list of it going to be around for a while.

It's good that we don't have questions time because I have a story I want to tell you about. Last year 80,000 phones were stolen in London. And usually the cops didn't do much about it because it really, you know, it wasn't a big crime and they had other things to solve. But they now discovered that they're a focal point for the stolen phone trade. And the way these phones are usually stolen is somebody has an electric bike and they drive along the street or up on the sidewalk and if you're on your phone, you're not paying attention, you just grab it right out of your hand and disappear. The way they figured out that this was becoming a big deal was somebody lost their phone and they used to find my iPhone and it showed up near Heathrow Airport in a warehouse and the cops went there and they opened up these boxes marked batteries. And there were, there were, I think 4000 phones in these boxes, and they're being shipped to China. And because the Chinese don't use the database, so your phone was stolen. Hold on one second. So you can fire these up in China, wipe them, fire them up and you got a perfectly good working phone. And nobody's the any of the wiser. So they're making much more effort to get these. Those 4000 phones were being shipped to China by two guys and they picked them up. But there's a lot more phones leaving London every day to go to China and Taiwan, both of them. That's where your stolen phone goes. It's pretty interesting. A lot of the phones were wrapped in tin foil, but apparently this woman's was not. And so they found it. Pretty pretty cool story.

Even if you take the phone and you hook it up to a computer, and you completely remove the operating system and flash it back with the new OS and all that stuff, there's a chip in these phones, a T something chip or whatever the hell it is, that stores your iCloud information and whether your device is encrypted or not. Android phones have the same thing now. You know, if it's linked to a Google account, or if you have a Samsung phone, it's linked to two accounts then. It's linked to your Samsung account and your Google account, and without that information, you can't use the phone. And I know about clockwork mod recovery and TWRP and all this stuff. You can, you know, go in and you can pull the partitions of the phone off, and you can repartition it, and then reinstall an OS and reinstall a custom ROM and all this kind of stuff. But at the end of the day, that phone is still linked to that iCloud account. It's not only a database anymore of, you know, stolen phones based on their IMEI or their ESN number. It's like physically locked to an account, so you can't activate it or turn it on without that info. So I'm wondering how they're getting around that, Greg.

It's going to say, log in information required even after a factory reset. You can't use it. I've got an old iPhone 4S here that still works. It was mine back in the day. I just forgot the password to it and I factory resetted it. I couldn't remember the password to the iCloud account because that was relatively new back then.

But if the battery just goes dead, you can hold the power button on it and it'll say, this phone is still trackable through Find My, right?

It has an eSIM, so you can't pull it out. There's actually no SIM card slot on my phone. There's no place to even pull one. And I love that fact. So, if someone stole my phone, I'd be like, same to the next guy closest to me. Let me see your phone for a second. And I'd go to iCloud.com and boom, it's gonna show me right on a map, right where it is, and I'm gonna be able to track it. And then I'm gonna beat some ass when I find out who has my phone. But now, mind you, I lost my backpack a few years ago, and that had my iPad in it, and that didn't have a SIM card. I haven't seen it since. I haven't been able to track it, haven't seen it, it hasn't showed up, and that's that.

I don't take anything that's not necessary with me. I don't put my Steam Deck in the backpack or my iPad or any of that stuff. I just don't take it with me anymore. I do always have my phone with me. I don't keep that in the backpack. It's always in my jacket pocket. And now, my current quad, that has a big trunk in the front of it. Like, you lift up the lid and there's like a big storage area in the front of it. It doesn't lock, but it does like stay closed once you close it. And I also have like a bungee cord with like a hook on either end that I run through the front rack. And then that opens the lid down. Like, there's no way it can, you know, be open unless you remove that bungee cord from it. So I really like that. Like, my previous one, I had to have a big box on the back of it for storage. This one, I don't because it has a trunk in the front of it. This bike is a very unique design. It was only designed, or there's only one company ever used this design, and that was Bombardier. And they were bought out by Can-Am. I think it's Can-Am. Or no, Can-Am? Yeah, anyway, one of the companies, Can-Am I believe. And then Can-Am sold that design to John Deere. And John Deere still makes the Trakster 500 as an ATV, but it's like a farming ATV. And that's this thing I got now. It's like a farming ATV. It was originally designed for Department of Forestry, Wildlife, and Law Enforcement. It's why it's so big and bulky and the tubing is like two inches thick of steel. And I mean, they really did a good job building this thing. It's like super solid. And I really like it. But you can get the John Deere Trakster 500 still, I think. I think they still make that one. It's like the seat on it kind of has like a pass-through in front of the seat, kind of like what a scooter would have. So you don't have to climb over the seat and swing your leg over. You just sit on the thing and just put your feet either in front of you or off to the sides, whatever way you want to ride it. Or you can put a backpack right in front of you on like the floorboard. And that's what I do when I carry my backpack now. I just put a bunch of cord through it, hook it around the racks in the front, and I lay it in that area right in front of my feet. So if it's not right by my feet, I know it's not there. So that's how I do it now. And I just like the way it is. I really like this new underwater screensaver. Since Mac OS Tahoe, they updated the underwater screensavers. There's way more of them now. And this one has tons of fish and sharks and whales and all kinds of things that are swimming by. And where I use multiple monitors, I have three monitors that I have on my desk or in my desktop area."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-16T06:59:37+00:00","id":61634,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":61633,"text":" The three on my desk, one that goes is the output for my game capture.

But one of them runs through the game capture, so it kind of gets around the three displays only type of deal. And one of them, my projector actually is connected via type C to HDMI cable, which is a very cool cable. Because you can use it for a lot of stuff. You can plug it into your phone, and plug the other end into your TV or whatever. But this one is, one of them is plugged into the Thunderbolt port on the Mac. And then it goes to my amp with HDMI. So it's pretty cool. Anyway, my point is, when the screensaver kicks in, I got like fish and whales all around. And it's very, very cool. Alright, after Bill, let's see how we're doing for time here.

I looked on that thing and my wife is still in surgery so it's been two hours now. So we'll see what happens there. But we're just taking it easier. I did lay out in the car for a little while. It took about a 15-20 minute nap. That helped out a lot. I didn't get much sleep last night. But the rest of the day we get her home and just take care of her and the whole weekend is really going to stay at the house for the most part. We have a Gotobersfest coming up this weekend on Sunday. I make it every year. I don't know whether I make it this year or not. It's like going to the show. More dogs than you shake a stick at. They're all in costumes and there's all kinds of competition and contests and little tent sites where you can go and find anything that you possibly want for your animal. It's just a good time. Usually the only way to get in is just bring dog food. That's all they want is lots of dog food. So when you go to any animals in the dog town and they're looking for a home and all that kind of stuff they can be fed and so forth like that.

Sorry, I've not been paying much attention. I'm working my job and then I have all these contractors here. It's been a strange week. I saw tomorrow is the last working day of the week, right? I've got a presentation I've got to get this afternoon. And to be honest, I haven't worked on it much. I mean, the work's done. I just need to put it into a presentation, a demo, if you will. So I'll probably be working on that for the rest of the day. And probably not the rest of the day, probably the next couple of hours. It won't take that long. But I've got to do the demo and then give the demo this afternoon. So, yeah, that's kind of what's on my mind today. That and seeing how this is going to go on the house is pretty cool. This house was built, man, I want to say, I don't remember. I think it was in the late 40s or early 50s. And so I know a lot of it's original. So I'm pretty interested to see what they pull off and what might be discovered. I've heard stories of people pulling off panels of walls and finding human skeletons and things like that. I mean, that would be a bad freaking Halloween story, wouldn't it? Yes, sir. Anyhow, I'm taking down my mask this weekend. It's coming down. It will go back up eventually, not this weekend. I have it 30 feet up in the air and it's coming down. We're going to extend it to 50. I'm going to put a new antenna on it and get some better coax. And then I'm going to move it. So I've got some work to do on that. It's for my two-meter stuff. It's in preparation of setting up a repeater here for All-Star. So I think that's going to be my early winter project before it gets too cold to get all that done and get it set up. I'd like it to be set up to my roll top desk. I have these really cool drawers you can put stuff in. And I'm getting ready to add some modernization to my roll top desk now. I've kind of figured out what I wanted. And I'm really, really entertaining the idea of putting a mobile radio, a two-meter mobile radio, into one of those cavities. You could easily have the hinge to the drawer front on the inside. The only thing I hadn't worked out is the microphone. But with some of the newer mobile radios, I'm pretty sure they have Bluetooth, so that might just be the fix. But I thought it would be real cool. I opened up one of the drawers in my desk, and there's your two-meter, 70-centimeter rig. So I think that's what I'm going to do. Well, I didn't have much to talk about, but I ended up filling up three minutes anyhow. It's funny how I could do that.

So you definitely want to think about cooling when it comes to radios man because especially if you're going to be listening to something like cowabunga or something well you're only receiving I suppose when you're listening but for transmitting purposes and things radios get very hot when you're transmitting especially mobile ones and they usually have a big heat sink on the back and usually that's not even good enough you normally have to stick like a processor fan or something that's what I typically use like those little fans got four screws and you just put the screws in between the fins on the heat sink and it holds the fan in place.

I don't want to have to move all that crap later. And like I said, we don't think we're staying here forever. I mean, we might be here another year, 18 months. Regardless, we definitely want to move back out of town. I mean, we're not, I mean, to get out of town, I mean, it's real small, and it's kind of like living in a small town. But I can't go outside and pee off my back porch without going to jail if my neighbor sees me. That's not acceptable to me. I like to be able to rez whenever I want to rez, wherever I want to rez, as long as my neighbors can't see me. So yeah, that's where we're at.

I'd get an old decommissioned computer, an old laptop or something, and just make a little interface that goes one wire to a COM port or a USB to COM port, whatever. You need one wire to trip the PTT from the computer. It sends a signal. It's called a cost line, and that's what makes it so that when the computer receives something, it trips the PTT on the radio. I would just build a very simple interface. I've got one here. It's a little board. It's got a couple of resistors on it and a little LED and whatnot to show transmit and receive. And then that hooks to your computer, and then the other end hooks to the radio, be it the radio's audio inputs and outputs or whatever way you want to do it. Mine runs into the microphone socket. Like, you know, the microphone socket. It's like an RJ45 network connector. So you just cut that off and you find your transmit and receive wires for the speaker mic, and then you find the cost line, and you connect it all up, and boom, that's your setup. And it ain't going to cost you no more than the price of the radio and maybe two or three bucks for it in parts to build that little interface. And then you're on the air, man. Your connections going to be as powerful as the radio you choose. That's the way I go about it. And when it comes to repeaters, they're not overly big. My repeater is about the size of two radios side by side put inside a metal case, but it's a professionally built one. It's a commercial high terra repeater. The duplexer is the biggest part of my repeater, and even that is only about the size of a HF rig. And then the laptop that's my repeater controller. That's it. And those things just stack on top of each other, and you lay them on a little table and tuck them in a corner. And when you use a duplexer, you don't have to use two antennas, because if you don't, you've got to use a transmit antenna and a receive antenna, and those have got to be spaced very far apart from each other and stacked. One needs to be at a different elevation than the other. But if you use a duplexer, both of those inputs and outputs, your transmit and receive, go into the duplexer, and then one antenna line comes out of the duplexer. So you've only got to use one antenna for transmit and receive, which is the way to go, of course. So, yeah. Lots of fun, man. It really is. All right.

The back faces the wall, which means you can drill holes in the back and you can put in vents and fans and other things. As for a repeater, I thought a lot about having a repeater and it's certainly easy to afford when you're last up. I like my Hi Power Nail much better. It's simplex, it's very simple to use. If I want to get on it, I can just pick up any handheld and do that. And if other people want to get on it, they can. It doesn't really, not being duplex doesn't really make a big difference to it. So and you don't need special licensing or to register the repeater or all of that other stuff you just put up a Hi Power Nail. And I got one upstairs that's now been running, well mostly at 50 watts, but now I think I've got it turned down to 35 watts. But it's been running and we're closing in on a year.

That's the only thing. And that's what I didn't like about my node when I had it up. And I still have that node here, the high-power VHF one that I had. And it still works fine. I don't have it on the air right now because I've got the repeater. So that's the only real thing, you know, if you've got multiple people. Because if you're talking and you're in the west end of town and you're talking on the node, I don't know that you're talking if I'm in the other end of town. I can still hear the node, but I'm hearing a one-sided conversation. And that's what's good about a repeater. You always get both sides of the conversation from a local ham to an over-the-internet ham. All local hams can still hear both sides. That's the only downfall with a Simplex node, is they can't.

I just don't never have never will But a ring that would be a different story, you know, it's still technological but it's meant to be where it's worn and stuff You know like a ring I probably still wouldn't wear it in the shower who might get it but Very cool, man. I can't wait to hear how you how you feel about it I think that's just an awesome way to use technology, you know in a ring and I don't know how to wear rings myself.

K5EWH returning. As everyone on the worldwide friendship knows, I haven't been on the net very much lately because of my pending move from my sister's house, Jeannie. She lives in Gold Canyon, which is Pinal County, P-I-N-I-L County in Arizona, over to a senior living facility in Mesa, Arizona, which is Maricopa County. That's where Phoenix is located. 17 miles from her house to my new apartment is senior living. There are different levels, so I am independent living. In other words, I don't need assistance to living with meds or getting clothes on or shower or whatever daily living activities. But I know that's coming and I will not have to move again when I need to go with assistance. Then I can stay in my same apartment and do some paperwork. Of course, the bill will go up, but it's going to take care of me for many years. This is so the right thing for me to do because my mobility issues are getting worse, etc. Anyway, I'm going to break for a second. Okay, five E.H.W. Attorney, I have really missed hearing my chosen family here. Just know that your thoughts and prayers and emails and whatever really means a lot to me. I am in a one bedroom apartment and it's about 625 square feet, roughly, with a little kitchen area. No oven, no disposal, no dishwasher because the meals are provided downstairs in the restaurant. Then I have a living room and the edge of the living room between that and the kitchen area is what I'm calling the office area. Then, of course, a huge bathroom with seniors. Most of them are in wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, and that kind of stuff. All very wide doors and huge bathroom area. I did move yesterday. The move went much better than I had hoped for. Nothing was lost. Nothing was damaged. The only thing that I don't have is because I had bought some furniture at concern places and a few new items. They all got delivered except the stuff from what was brought over from Judy's house yesterday. The only thing that's missing now is the console for the TV, which for some reason is having to come in from Colorado. After I get that, then I will buy TV. Right now, all I have is my ham radio and my Sirius XM radio app for entertainment. It's wonderful and I'm enjoying it. I'm meeting new people and having some new experiences. This is the right thing to do. With that, I am going to turn it back to you, Larry. Wishing everybody a wonderful day.

And oftentimes, you can see maybe half a dozen of them at a time that will come out and they'll go around the cars. And they're like, really, I wouldn't say domesticated, but they're used to people feeding them over the generations. And I still do it. I know people say, oh, you shouldn't feed wild animals.

We encourage you to press that button and tell us a little bit about yourself, your radio projects, or just about anything else, as long as it's suitable for a family friendly audience. Please limit your reports to three minutes so that we can get as many stations in as possible. This is also when the repeater times out. When you're finished with your report, please end with your call sign. I'll be compiling a list of stations that would like to check in and then I'll ask for your report.

And it has a feature that it can connect to the internet, and I can check my statuses remotely. So like when I'm at home, I connect it to the house Wi-Fi, and then I can see if I'm producing solar, if it's outside, or what the battery voltage is if it's inside, and blah, blah, blah. But I was like, hey, we need a voltage thing on the front page because I like to just press the button and see what the voltage is. I don't really care how much of the alleged 200 amp hours worth of battery I have left. It is nice to know how long it would approximately take to fully charge. And I do have a shunt, so I can see what is coming in or out of the battery. But Renergy had an issue with their second generation for a copyright infringing or something. I don't know. Their RV leveling was too close to somebody else's. So in the States, and the States only, they were going to pull it away. And I asked everybody if they had fixed that, and they said yes. And this morning I woke up to pictures that said the RV stuff is going to be going away, blah, blah, blah, blah. So I hope I don't lose that because I really like, that's like the reason why I got that. I can use my phone to do everything else. But I am going to roll out of bed and rip down my awning real quick and pack that up and get everything hooked up and get out of here and start heading north.

So it's talking about antennas, questions about antennas, if you have antenna projects that you're working on, so it's everything kind of antenna. So if you happen to have any questions or just want to listen in, it's a really great technical net, and it's on the PAPA system, so you can access it through All-Star or through the internet. But you can go to Jeff's QRZ, it's AlphaBrahlo6, Mike Bravo, and there's a direct link to the PAPA system to be able to listen to and or participate in the antenna net, if that's something that interests you.

We need straps, so we've got straps underneath there now. So I talked to the guy and he says, Why all of a sudden they need to be inspected again? Oh, over 10 or 15 years they need to be inspected to see if they're rotten and stuff. Why are you putting stuff underneath to tie down a home when you expect them to rot? I guess that's called make more money. Anyhow, he's supposed to come out here and look at that any minute now, so I'm just kind of looking out the window waiting for him to show up.

It was kind of more of an informal net, but it was the Shoreline ACS repeater that I jumped over to. Although, I was actually still listening on PSRG, so if you had called out, I would have called back. I have a dual, on my desk, I have this dual channel thing, and so I usually have PSRG on one and Shoreline ACS on the other one. And it's not uncommon for me to accidentally be on the wrong one when I start keying up. Luckily, I wasn't interrupting a net this time when I did it. That always makes it even worse and more embarrassing, but I realized that I was just starting to key up. Yeah, I keyed into that and just checked in and also tested out my DMR radio for the first time in probably over a year. I should probably practice that more, but I managed to get on, so that worked. Other than that, I'm sitting here. I'm delaying. I have to do some testing. For work, I developed training. My team develops training for physicians at UW Medicine, and we are running up against a, we're running towards a deadline in which we have to have all of our stuff updated to a certain set of accessibility standards. One of my tasks right now is to test a few of the modules that one of my team has updated, which means I have to turn on the screen reader and figure out how to navigate a screen reader, which I kind of understand, but not being someone who is super proficient in them, it's always kind of a challenge to key up and get going and figure out how to get through things. Anyway, that's on my list. I have to do some screen reader testing to make sure that some of these modules can be navigated via screen reader or keyboard only so that they're fully compliant. So anyway, I'm delaying that and in the meantime researching our heat pump, trying to figure out how many amps it puts out. I don't really entirely know. I know it's on a 40 amp breaker, but I don't know actually how much it normally puts out. So we're updating our energy backup system in our house, and we've been contemplating whether we could fit the heat pump on it or not, because it's a ductless heat pump, so it's fairly efficient, but I'm just uncertain about whether we should do that or not.

They got to get that 500 feet in there and then cut in front of somebody. That's probably what creates a lot of the bottlenecks. Yeah, people are crazy. I'm an older guy. I don't know. I just never was a speed demon or anything. And we've had people here getting pulled over 100 miles an hour. And the Facebook crowd says, well that's okay. These roads are made for it.

Anyway, good to hear you take care. Alright, we have the IO from Lee there, KI 782B. Let's go find out how Mike is doing K1MDR. Hey Mike. Hey everybody. Well right now I'm trying to find a parking space at work because that's always a fun time this time of day. But hey, I got, I can't say that I was an angel when I was Lee Younger. The fastest I've ever been while I was driving is 132 miles per hour. That is 132. And I did get pulled over and I didn't get a ticket. So, a little story behind that one. I was at a girlfriend's house. We went out for dinner at a little fish restaurant and the fish was bad. I was sick. I thought I was done and clear at her house doing, you know, what you do when you're sick and I decided to head home. Well, about halfway home I started feeling like it wasn't going to be a good night after all. And I decided to just mash the pedal and go as fast as I could possibly go to get home and do what I had to do. And I got pulled over. And when I went to, you know, do what I had to do, the cop decided to not let me out of the car, step in front of the door and he got that from his knees down. He realized that I really was sick and decided to help me get off the freeway nice and safe like because at the time you had to cross the freeway. And if you're all wondering what kind of car it was, get on your Google and look up 1988 Buick LeSabre T-Type. And make sure you put the T-Type in there because that car is a lot different than the standard LeSabers. It was a gorgeous car. I wish I still had it, but I don't. Anyway, as far as the Critter Report goes, they are officially eight weeks old. But like I said, we're going to hold off finding them homes until after Halloween. Anyway, I'm going to return back to the net.

It was a great handling car and that's not the LeSabre. You go look at that, it's not the LeSabre that your grandma drove. It wasn't those huge giant land yachts. This was a much smaller car, really sporty looking and sporty handling. Kind of wish when I did have it I had kept a hold of it but I let it go to a friend who really loved it and yeah we're not friends anymore so I don't even get to see the car at this point but yeah no that car actually loved going that fast.

It's Charles Town Street over a couple of two, three blocks to the east there at, looks like between 46th and 47th. It's so funny because it's easy to have that little hill sneak up on you going westbound. And if you go too fast, your car can probably catch some air. So make sure you have a good suspension or something. It's kinda like a little ski jump hill, actually. It's wild. It's wild. It's a wild segment of road. Anyway, let's see. I had fun this morning a couple of weeks ago, and then yesterday I verified. I programmed in a bunch of municipal frequencies there, Jack, into my scanner radio. So I had that sitting on the dash this morning during the shakeout drill, because the city was doing some stuff with that, or at least my agency was. So I tried to get some intel as to who, which frequency is what and what's going on. So that was fun. That was a fun puzzle.

Pretty massive. Yesterday, we were up in Arlington, where they had that big Amazon warehouse. And I still think it's the biggest warehouse I think I've ever seen anywhere. And I got to peek in there. But the upper floor is like a separate floor. I figured the whole thing was cavernous, but it's not.

They don't want people walking across that bridge. But it's the one time of the year that you can actually be standing on that bridge and you'll see guys that are running communications for the half marathon and then there will be guys with tripods and cameras taking pictures from the bridge at sunrise because it's a really beautiful spot to be and nice view there. And it's the one time that they can take those photographs without getting snatched up or sighted. So it's kind of neat. We'd show up before dawn and someone would come up and it was really neat. I'd have to look, I got some pictures. I know I took quite a bit of pictures. One year I took an SLR up there. So it's kind of neat. What else was I going to mention about that? In the back you can see the refineries. In the back of this picture you can see them back towards La Porte and Deer Park. And so there's a lot of refineries there. So good price on gas.

And it's kind of the last step before you actually get to the real people that you're supposed to talk to. That's so they could filter it a little better because, yeah, most people call for totally other reasons. Yeah, it's true, I guess. It's like an emergency room in a hospital. You walk in, everybody's sniffling with a bloody cold. That's not what the emergency room is for. If you haven't got a broken bone, it's not bleeding. There's no reason for you to be there."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-16T16:32:32+00:00","id":61991,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":61990,"text":" Yeah, yeah, and then you're on this because I know about, I used to have the bad cluster headaches and I go to ER. I think, yeah, and I've had to wait 12 hours and things, so I know what that's about. Yeah, they're going to put the shock victim before you, of course, but it makes sense. I agree to it. But you know what's funny is I think most people will do that because it's either in the middle of the night and they can't really get in the hospital, so it's one way to do it or now there's an increasing thing now where people really don't have family doctors, so their only way to be seen in any fashion is to check into one of those places. That's why in Toronto it's divided up. They also have the dental emergency, so you don't jam up like the Toronto ER with that nonsense even if it is four in the morning. Oh dude, I haven't had a family doctor in over 20 years, but I know what a walk-in clinic looks like, you know, and like I say if I'm not bleeding and it ain't broken, I don't need to go to a hospital. I can deal with a cold. I can deal with sniffles. If I'm not thinking about calling an ambulance, it'll wait until morning and I'll go to a walk-in. If more people would do stuff like that, our ERs wouldn't be overbooked and you wouldn't have to wait 12 hours to see somebody when you actually needed to see somebody. Everybody is just, you know, I need it and I need it now, like with your cluster headaches. Instead of waiting the 12 hours, you could have been seen in like 45 minutes, gotten some oxygen probably is what they probably would have given you. I know it helps a lot with cluster headaches because I deliver a lot of oxygen to people with cluster headaches and you would have been feeling much better much faster. It's our system, it's overloaded because of abuse and misuse, not because the system is broken. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November Quebec November. Later on, wow, it turned out to be a lot more internal. I had it fixed. It was my teeth because at the time I was in my teens, I still had my wisdom teeth and they were bothering me. As soon as I got those taken out, I never had any more cluster headaches again. But what's funny, yeah, because they also rot your gums and that's going to cause you a lot of pain. Well, another thing I would use when I didn't want to use the ER and it was the middle of the night, I just used the phone book doctors. They charge for each visit and if it's something important like a prescription, that's the move that I'll pull to do that. I've never, as far as I know, most walk-in clinics, you have to have like, well, you have to have a doctor. You can't just walk in and just be seen like some of the places in the states where the ghetto hood rats will walk in there, get their little BD shot and then they're back out on the street. You can't just do that in Canada. If I go, there's a clinic place on Main Street here in Vancouver, I got to show my contact information with my family doctor back in Toronto or I wouldn't be seen here if I need anything. You don't need to have a family doctor to go into a walk-in here. All you need is your health card. Unfortunately being out of province, you'll have to pay for your visit. When I've been in Quebec and when I was in Cornwall, I never had a doctor. I went to the local walk-in clinic, handed in my card, my health card, waited my turn, told them what was wrong and went in and saw a doctor. Don't need to have a family doctor, that's the whole idea of the walk-in clinics. It's not like the free clinics that the US has, those are totally different. There are a few of those around too. Montreal's got one, I think there's actually a very small one here in North Bay but it's mostly a needle exchange place, that's more or less all they do. But not a walk-in clinic man, you don't need a doctor."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-16T16:33:09+00:00","id":61992,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":61991,"text":" I can remember when I was traveling like when I was living in Quebec I used to be in Ontario a fair bit and then I would travel to Saskatchewan to visit family.

And it's just you have to pay whatever the fees are and it cost me like 2K because she ended up staying in for a day or two. But as soon as we got back to Quebec we submitted the receipts to the Quebec system and they refunded our money to us. It's just they don't do direct billing that far away.

If you get sick in Cuba, you're welcome to go to the Cuban medical hospital. Just walk in, tell them your ID, your passport, and you pay what a Cuban citizen pays. Because they're communist. It's great. There's the guy who did the Fahrenheit 9-11 documentary. He did one on Cuba. And he took some people from Florida who couldn't afford to pay for their medicine to Cuba. They walked into the hospital with their prescriptions. They got seen by doctors to confirm what they needed. And instead of paying $300 for some pill, the buddy was paying $25.
