Addiction is a very common thing in just about any country. It's not surprising to know that there was more than one member of the family that had some form of addiction. It comes in all different ways from alcohol to hard drugs to medicines that you are supposed to take to hell you can be addicted to anything, even cigarettes. It's all there. It's a big problem in society for sure. I don't judge anybody that's addicted to this stuff. I just wish they would get help so they could maybe lead a better life. The way it happened with me was I was pretty much an alcoholic. First I started with marijuana which was kind of my gateway. When I joined the Navy I couldn't use that anymore. Then I went to alcohol and it got severe. The Navy took me to a Naval station in Philadelphia, a hospital and I went to four months of rehab. What convinced me that I had no control over it is a lot of the people there were, well hell they were lieutenants and commanders and captains and petty officers and corporals and the Marine Corps and all kinds of stuff. All of them had addictions. We had to go through a whole bunch of programs and AA meetings and so forth like that. And then even after I got out of the Navy I continued to go to AA meetings and I had a sponsor. I don't do that stuff anymore but I've been to sobriety free for pretty much a little over 40 years right now, well a little under 40 years actually. But I know I talk about oh yeah let's try marijuana again, this, that and the other but I know I don't want to, if I pick it up I have an addictive personality and I can easily wind up going down that path again and I just don't choose to do that anymore. I got too much on my plate and life is too complicated as it is. And with my wife, one more reset, she is the angel with a halo on her head when it comes to that kind of stuff. I've been trying to get her to take the hydrocodone because she's been in so much pain. I mean they cut her around the ear and the back of the ear and down of her neck and then they removed a mass that was fairly large away from nerve tissue and stuff like that. And she's doing it like a trooper but we gave her a full pill and that was making her sick. Now she's got a half pill and she's, one pill is supposed to be good for four hours. She's taking a half pill and she's like six, seven hours before she takes another pill. So she's an inspiration for me. I don't even use, I won't take pain pills after surgery either. Every time I've had them I just, no thank you, you know, whatever I had in the hospital and I take aspirin or Tylenol or something like that, that's about as far as I go. Just because of that fear that I'd get back on that path. Anyhow, KB0MAI."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T04:25:16+00:00","id":63004,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63003,"text":" Oh yeah, well you know 99% of us do stumble.

But I guess when I was trying to talk about when I saw all these other people you know in the hospital that really should have their shit together and they didn't. That's what scared me the most. That was my point of realization that I wasn't weak. I wasn't different. I was the same as them. And if I didn't take care of this problem well I wouldn't be married now.

Hello to everybody out there. Davy0MAI. Things are going great today so far. My dog was pouncing on the door and I didn't hear it because I had my earbuds in. And that noise canceling couldn't hear. And anyways, my wife woke up and opened the door and she came in here and she wanted me to pick her up. I pet her for a while and she was licking the hell out of me. A slight little lick, you know, kiss is fine but constant. She was trying to tell me something. I looked at the time and it's like 30 minutes past her meal time so I had to go out there and I fixed her up. Fixed her up some chicken and green beans for breakfast this morning. I took the last remaining amount of chicken and I'm going to eat it. It's like three ounces. It's enough for me to keep me from getting sick when I take my medications this morning, right? It's going to be kind of a lazy day today. My wife got surgery done yesterday or Thursday. This is Saturday, right? Yeah, Thursday and we've got her home and I've been just kind of hanging around the house helping her out. Because she's not really doing the greatest. She's getting better but she was still in some more pain this morning. She took a hydroquinone and even though it's a half of pills, it pretty much knocked her out. So I just take her out of the house because I don't want her going downstairs, walking down the stairs. She's not supposed to bend over or anything like that for a couple of days. She can't lift any more than five pounds. So this is basically where I'm going to be other than at 10 o'clock I'm going to go to my son's football game."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T04:42:50+00:00","id":63014,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63013,"text":" flag football of course and one o'clock in the afternoon they're having a dog park. It's a really nice dog park in this town and this is dog Halloween dress-up day and so I got a for my dog I have a jailbird costume you know for her to wear and I'll take her out there and we should have some fun with that. I like going because it's a perfect opportunity to bring my camera and get some great shots of dogs and costumes. There's another one I like to do it's called Oktoberfest which is on Sunday but I'm not going to go because I won't be able to get back to the house. It gets so crowded to get into that place and to get out if my wife needed me it might take me an hour to get home and I'm only five miles from the house but so I won't be going to that this year and this is the first one I've missed in god probably 10 years a decade but that's okay you know it's cool it's cool and then I start my new shift on Monday and it kind of sucks so yeah I love my old job it was just you know pretty much drive up drop off and go back and now it's going to be a little bit different I'm going to drive up make some bulk deliveries early in the morning and then come back so I still have the same shift but it means I'm going to have to work a little harder at least two days out of the week. The things are really slowing down and drivers are off quite a bit now. It's slowing down a little much quicker than what it did in past usually we'd be busy all the way up to Christmas and in January through March we'd be working hard but or not working hard at all I mean because the freight slows down that much but it's starting in October it's going to be a slow season for a lot of people. I'm not going to mind it too much because I'm pretty much I don't really want to work much anymore so one more reset. So I'm kind of good with it. I kind of told my boss I said you know the days that there's no work I'll be volunteering to be the first man off. It drives them nuts. Everybody else is begging for work because they're all younger and they need to you know they got a lot more responsibility and family at the house you got to feed everybody and I'm kind of like I'm okay don't worry about me but you know I guess that's I do get enough time maybe some more people got in here Kevin didn't mean to take up all his air time but I'm just enjoying talking to everybody today. It's a good day for me better than most. Back to Kevin, TB0MAI. Hey no problem thanks a lot George. Yeah that's good to do that too. And yeah if I don't announce your call by any chance people just feel free that you can also text on the screen as well that you want in and we'll certainly accommodate you so no problem there. We'll make sure everybody gets in. Okay so yeah George is good for the long haul we'll get back to you. Meanwhile Brian I know you're usually in and out but I'll give you a chance to see what you got to say if you'd like to roll with us or not but back passing it to you Brian over to you. Good morning Kevin good morning everybody. Yeah not much happening here today. My migraine is gone not completely I had to take some medicine this morning it was coming back a little bit but it's not like it was before I don't even notice it so hopefully it will go away. Anyway not much planned here for today it looks cloudy it's a beautiful day but I'm going to stay in and just take it easy. I'm not going to use the bike anymore that's it the season is gone because I'm not sure if I have a pinched nerve in my neck or what's causing this so I got to really cool it for a few days. Then I got to keep an eye I got a problem here at the condo we have about 15 cats moving into the building they live in the basement apartment and there's seven or eight male cats I mean adult cats I'm not sure if they're male or female but the cats have found the birdhouse that I have out in the I have a nice beautiful birdhouse that I have hanging in the tree here and now the cats somehow figured out how to climb the tree and they're after the birdhouse I mean they're after that bird that lives in it there's two birds that live in the birdhouse so I got to watch that. I mean they don't let the cats stay inside because they don't have litter boxes so they let the cats run all over the place and hey I don't want to go out my back door some morning to find a vet's sparrow you know right at my door that's where the cat puts it when they kill the birds you know they put it right at your doorstep so that's the story here not much else to do. Anyway Kevin I'm going to be one and done but I'm going to be listening because I don't have any battery power left in this HDI I used it all up this morning. The back deal goes Kevin have a great day everybody or maybe one AI quarter will be too."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T04:54:27+00:00","id":63015,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63014,"text":" Hey, no problem Brian. Break back in anytime you'd like. You know you're one of the regulars. And so, have a good day. And yup, like I told you, and now I'll tell the others, I'm on my usual heavy duty fuzz. I took a couple of pills. I'm flying off the walls. No, I'm lying. It's kind of a, it's sort of like a mediocre buzz. It's not super, super intense, but it'll hold me through this net. And then shortly after that net, well this net, I have to do the scars net as well. So just kind of put a little plug in for them. Come and join me. Because it'll be a real quick one, because it's a lot faster and shorter than this here. I usually put a marker on the halfway point. Usually by then. But check that out. That'll be noon Eastern. So depending on who's talking, how we're talking, it can be anything from a few minutes to seven or eight hours. No, I'm joking. Peep it out. Also, What was it? Oh! Finally, the mail is starting to flow a little bit better than like even last week when I was talking to you, right? Because I was saying that it was still kind of questionable. So it's doing a lot better. I never really liked this guy's music, but D'Angelo passed away. You know, the one that sings Brown Sugar. And Debbie, Marcia's sister, keeps telling me that the song isn't about a woman. Well, what the hell isn't it about then? So she said, no, that's not what it's about. Okay, well then I don't know. I asked, I don't even like that kind of R&B. But I asked, and I have no idea. I mean, we lost some greats in the past throughout the summer. We lost Howie T, and sort of before that we lost Clark Kent, and then before that, Mr. C from Hot 97. And in the summer, like when August passed, while going into September, it was the one year anniversary of the past of Mr. School. So, real important hype man. Y'all remember old records, he's definitely a marker. And somebody missed. Oh, that's screaming. Okay, all right. So, let's move on, and we'll take it over to Ben. He's staying today. So, what's going on Ben? I talk to this guy a lot through the day, through the evening. VE3SBX, good morning Kev, Brian, everybody else. Happy to hear Brian's woken up without a migraine. Congratulations to a pain-free day. George, very, very happy to hear that it went well with your wife. Wish her a speedy recovery. Today is a take it easy day for me. I got to pop out and do some grocery shopping. I was out, not too late last night for work, but my last call was a palliative set up, so it was a little depressing, out in the rain. I'm trying to get the family a little calmed down with the wife coming home. Today's going to be a pretty mellow day for me. Just go out and do some food shopping, putter around in the house, get some things cleaned up and laundry done. No other plans yet for the weekend. I spend a lot of time on here. And for now, I'm going to pass it back to you Kev. I'm still waking up. I've been awake for like a half an hour. I'm just getting into coffee number one. So, I'll be here. VE3SBX. Hey, no problem. Yesterday, when I was kind of like half asleep, half awake, around six in the evening my time, I got an interesting text. It was basically a reminder through one of the channels I subscribed to, The Star Report. One of the guys was telling me that he's back because there's those that might not know. I'll just drop some signs real fast. You didn't think that. You thought I was going to say something else. I know you recognize the time. The time you talked to me. You thought I was going to say that. No. I was going to see if I could trip you out. But nope. I'm on a totally different tip. I'm not talking about that test. I'm talking about this test. Where Star had... He had rushed himself to the hospital in the middle of the night a couple of weeks ago because he had a bad bout of pneumonia, although he didn't know it yet. He was feeling bad and they told him. They stuck him in ICU for a while and he came back. Now he's back in effect. But there was a while he was off air and some people had spread some rumors that he had died. Luckily, I forgot who it was. It might have been Vlad. They're tight. I'm trying to think of people he hasn't burnt bridges with. I guess Vlad is one of them that is still cool with him. He had basically said that nope. Star is very much alive. I talked to him a few hours ago in the hospital. He did a zoom call. Yeah, and then I did check the channel and I saw some new updates. There wasn't anything I was interested in. I kind of wanted to hear what he might say about Diddy. Because he was always keeping up to what was going on with that. I missed his old comments about it. He was looking at the time he might get. He was always about guys, I need to tell you. But Diddy is fooled. My favorite was when he kind of said that prior to the R. Kelly conviction. Guys, I need to tell you. This guy doesn't have any connections of any sort. He's fooled. I kind of missed that. I kind of figured if I heard him on that tip, then I'd at least know he's well. But who knows. I guess we'll figure that out. Alright, well I'm at the bottom of the list except one more name and that is Bill. Over to you Bill. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven. Thank you. You had me going there for a second. You said you were at the bottom of the list. I'm like what? What happened to me? What happened to me? Oh man. So after the night yesterday I got my wife. She picked me up and we went to the house, took everything over. Well we stopped silent and go. Picked up something to eat. Got over to the house, put all my stuff away, got changed, and then went over to the job site that my son-in-law is working on and picked up the truck and went out and I was able to get two loads taken care of for him. But he's still got more. So I'll probably do another two loads on Monday. I got a dentist appointment for cleaning on Monday. But after that I might grab the truck and grab two more loads of block and drive them over to the job site for him. So we did that. Got back here, had dinner, and I mean I went to bed about 7.30. I was just so tired. But I tried to sleep until 4.30 and didn't quite work out. About 3.45 I was up, passing and turning, probably about 4.15. I got out of bed, so that's it. No more. And here I am. I did do laundry last night. I got to fold it. But the counter's got all my computer stuff on there right now because I'm doing updates on that. I had to do it on the counter because the desk is covered with laundry. We should work on a trade. But today I'm going to drive over to my mom's house. But because I went to bed so early last night, I didn't get all the stuff that I need and instructions from my wife because my daughter lives out in that area. And so I'll be stopping by her place and dropping off a bunch of stuff that my wife got for her. And I might even go over to my granddaughter's house and drop off her printer. And that'll free up some space here in the house. But it got warm. I mean, it wasn't like it was a couple weeks ago where it got up to 100. It only got up to about 82, 83. But my son-in-law's truck doesn't have any AC in it. So with the window down, it was nice and cool. We'll see if I can grab one."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T04:55:44+00:00","id":63016,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63015,"text":" All right, so I'm feeling a little stiff this morning. A couple more good nights of sleep and I should hopefully be back to normal. My student failed his test. He was I'm guessing in the back of the truck he backed into the space, did it just fine but then he backed up just a little bit too far and tapped the cone in the back and I told him, I warned him, the way I dropped him off I said that's where you got to park. You got to park where you're trailing. You can't back all the way up. You got to get out and look. You got to make sure that you get the bumper over the wood but don't go back too far and hit the cone because that will fail you. As you do, he taps the cone, got to fail and then threw a little tension about it. Well, he didn't throw a tension but in his message he felt that the guy was a little bit unkind to him. So he was going to sleep in the truck last night and tonight and then Sunday go out with a guy, a local guy so he could retest on Monday but he just, he called me up and said don't worry about bringing me the key. I'm just going to take a bus home because he lives in L.A. and then he'll come back on Sunday and finish that up. So, you know, that's what's going on with him. They haven't told me about a student so I don't know. I only get a student. If I don't, I'll just drive back up and that way I can get my truck and I don't have to worry about it.

Sometimes if somebody knocks on the door, go here at this house, I really doubt anyone's gonna be knocking at not even five in the morning, right? It was more at the other house, I worried about it. Cause my dad used to, he would have the inner care people visit him. And he's got somebody scheduled today, but it's way later, right? You guys will be gone, and we'll get this shot. So, he's got that there. He's got that going. Anyway, so we'll try to do that, and then if you forget who to pass it to, that's fine. That's what I'm here for. So basically, let's see. Does your work require to be in your office full-time, or would you rather do your work remotely? Because one of the things the Canadian government is doing now is implementing big time, is the work in the office, I think like four days out of the week, or they probably want you to go in full-time. So people have gotten comfortable during the pandemic. All sorts of tricks to sort of, even when you're doing work remotely, and you're on your computer, I was told by somebody, you could even buy on the internet what are called mouse jiggers. And what these do is it will motivate, it'll move your mouse once in a while, so your computer doesn't go to sleep. So it looks like you're always online. So that way you can like walk away, go out, walk the dog, walk around the park or whatever it is. And they'll still think you're online and on the computer because it stops your computer from going into sleep mode. So I was told about that, I've never heard of such a thing. So think about that, and what I'll do right now is first reset, and then we'll ask for more check-ins, we've got plenty of room for names here, and then just know that around the 9.30 part, I've got to try to figure out what to do, whether you get two rounds or whether we just do one big one. And I want to try to get you to ten minutes before the next net starts. And I'm going by Eastern Time, because most of these nets are chartered for, right? Because to me it's still early, nothing's open. So, in fact, I felt like maybe some fried chicken, so I might stop by one of the places on Main Street and grab me some chicken. But I won't be able to do it, even when the net's over, I've got to wait until way after, you guys will be busy with the Michigan. Okay, so more call signs, please, VA-3-K-2. V01, UKZ, good morning.

It was an idea, the cyphers was an idea I took from you. I just kind of named it that, right, where you have the rotation. I just kind of created, like made up a name for that.

We are dog sitting today, our next door neighbor is going out of town so anyway. Just kind of sitting here, he's a little nervous, he's an older dog and so we left the back door open. And he peeks his head out the window and walks around the house, peeks his head out the window and he finally just went out. So hopefully he'll finally, he's encircling the house, it would be nice if he laid down and he's elderly so he spends most of his day sleeping. So pretty soon he'll I guess lay down. So anyway, back to you Kevin. Hey, very good, very good. You know something and I added D and Steve onto the list by the way. But something I was thinking, see right there, you see me doing that? That's how my brain works. So right as it stops at a thought, that's how it works for me and then I speak it and then I just keep going. But you see like, there's times where, like I remembered in school when I wanted to tune out of the class. Okay, like let's say I'm sitting in a boring class, it's like Monday and it's like maybe 10.30 in the morning. Right, the class goes on until about maybe close to noon and then there's lunch. So I'm already, like I'm bored right, because the teacher's pitter pattering on and on and on about everything from this and that, the sneakers to hats. I'm already kind of back at the house, my mind is already kind of back at the house and I'm envisioning being in my undies before Sports Center comes on, CTV. Okay, or if it's lunch we're thinking, right, I might be speeding ahead in my brain to maybe an hour and a half from then. Well we'll say now in this example, so like an hour and a half from now. And I'm already envisioning all the crap I'm going to get at the cafeteria, I'm going to stop by the dreads at Open City and grab a few blunts, see if he's down with chugging a 2-2 for me, always tell him if he's going to stop, because he was an older cat that would cop our liquor for us, you know, because a 16 year old wouldn't do so hot at the LCB. So I'd always tell him, always instruct him to grab me an OE, but not a 4-0, a 2-2 so I could knock it out fast before class. So, and he'd laugh, make a little fun of me and take off, he'd say his usual, too much blood clot business, a gwan, bumbaclot, or whatever, right, I don't know what any of that means. I guess he's cursing in dreadlock talk or whatever, Jamaican, Bob Marley, and I'm already envisioning all of that. And then suddenly, Kevin? Oh shoot, I'm being asked something, I didn't even hear a word. And so that's the story of my life. Okay, so I would be like already, those things are going on, I don't know how much of all of that went through, but I would already be envisioning all of those things and then they're calling my attention. Okay, so yes, I did add Dee and Steve to the list, but we did have trouble before, now Gray texted a message on the screen to confirm that I was right to put him on the list. So he's next after Rick, so let's look in on Gray, see if he has some audio in.

That's right. I give gratitude in the morning for being allowed to awake. And nothing much here except that my, I'm still having computer problems. I woke up this morning and my computer went into scanning and repair. And yesterday I did it. It took six hours. Today I'm up to three hours. So let's see what happens. Anyway, back to you Kevin. Yeah, computers are always the pits. And I know because I'm using an old ass machine. Although, now you think me using XP is a trip. Because I'm still on XP. Okay, everything I use is still XP. You wouldn't believe it but neither do I. Okay, but see you know what's crazy is I have a buddy. His name is Garren. He lives in Philadelphia. He's blind too. And he's on Vista. And everybody around him says, you got Vista. I can't believe you. I don't know how he manages on Vista. It's not exactly the blind friendliest. What happened was he got his machine. Right, he's like me a late bloomer to the computer world. So he got his machine when Vista was the flavor. You know, they gave him the flavor of the day. That was it. You could almost tell when I got into computers because the flavor of the day or of the week was XP. Right, there was multiple editions of it. Right, the work, home edition. And there was what, 2003 was kind of like it too. Like Windows 2000. So that was about the flavor. I have my machine about 03, 04. Could have been a little bit earlier but maybe that was another machine. But yeah, so XP was 03, 04. So I'm like a full fledged user. Like I'm not fumbling off of other people and going to libraries and schools and the rest of it. You know, my homies house and all that. That was pretty much XP flavor. You know, it was my machine type deal. I'm still using old ass Echoing and even this laptop is XP. So every 10 SP, I bought a few machines. I needed multiple machines. So there you go. So at least you guys are in the know. What's also going on at my school, Central Tech, what they're doing is now they're sending the notices through their email groups. I had to get people to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. There's still people that have a lot of the Windows 10 machines. So the IT team is reminding them that that's not a very good idea because it's not secure. So they're sort of telling them in the analogy of it. Kind of like leaving the back entrance of your house open all the time. That's not very wise. They're making it easy and they're also in conjunction with a group called Computer, I think like Computer Geeks Encore. And they're trying to get people to get out of Windows 10. So now think about it. That's Windows 10. I'm on the XP joint and we're not talking about a large professor. You know the large professor from main source gives you extra P. This is something else. It's extra alright. Tell you what. Before we get to Steve, he's next after D, but let's try and give Gray another attempt. If you have some audio, Gray."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T05:12:55+00:00","id":63028,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63027,"text":" Thank you."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T05:17:57+00:00","id":63029,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63028,"text":" I could not figure out the audio on this problem. So here we go. All right. So it's Saturday morning. And things are going pretty good here. I got a lot done yesterday. I was just doing lots of little things, cleaning stuff up, packing cardboard, doing stuff like that. But I was amazed at how much I got accomplished. I was amazed that less noticed I had done so much. That's pretty cool. I am sitting around here getting all the pre-news on the no kings protests that are going on all over the country today. More than 2600. And Machias is on the list of cities that's going to support a protest, which ought to be fun. I don't know if we're going to get out of the house today. But we'll see. Maybe. Maybe we will. As for working at home versus working in the office, there's a lot in that mix. There's a lot of insistence now that people go back to work. And I think part of that is because companies spend a lot of money on office space. And it's not getting used. And the other part is a very human thing. If you're a manager, you want to watch people work. You want to go over there and see that they're working. Get in the mix. That kind of stuff. But it's definitely more efficient to work at home. But I don't have to worry about that because I am at home all the time. Thanks for picking up the net, Kevin. B-A-3-K-K-Y. I'll try and be better about not messing with my audio. All right. So back to you. B-A-3-K-K-Y. This is Casey 2-B-K-G. Well, keep it there. Whatever you've done. You're worldwide. Maybe a few words at the very beginning, you started to come in just as you were saying that you were working on your audio. So really just miss maybe a few sentences. So no problem. Yeah. See? This is where my racing thoughts are good. Because hey, look. They kind of told me that you possibly might be on RF. So that's why I didn't give up on you. I just sort of sense that there's a possibility to go on RF. And maybe that's why you're having some trouble. My other thought was maybe Wi-Fi. But the RF did occur to me. So there you go. That's what happens inside my head. OK. So over to Steve. What's happening with you, Steve, this morning? November, Quebec, November. All-Star Node 6222. Located in Shelton, Washington. OK. This is N0BF checking in. And I did that via the text box. So that worked pretty good there, Kevin. Anyway, good morning to you and the game. And what to say this morning? Well, I did my Morse code. And I did talk to quite a few stations on Morse code. 40 meters. I talked to a guy. The first guy was 6 watts using a K3. And he loves doing low power. 85-year-old man. We're all old. I'm 78. I was like a youngster there talking to him. But I've been doing this for 65 years. And the Morse code is still my fave. And I'll tell you, there's something magical when I talk on Morse code. But anyway, I'm talking to you guys on voice through the modern methods here using a cell phone. And I did breakfast number one and number two. And my wife is out getting her blood drawn. So when she gets back, breakfast number three. Although I don't know if I'll, I might have a piece of chocolate, maybe a coffee. Anyway, so there you go. Things are moving along pretty good here in Ohio. I do a little tree trimming today. I know my neighbor's got a big oak tree. And that's where my antenna is. But there's a dead branch. So he wants to chop that out of there with a saw. 25 foot long saw. Anyway, I don't think anyone's got expertise in doing that. Back over to, oh, and the computer. Doing six hours or whatever of work. Man, that's not like a lot of work there. There's something I'll write about that, Dee. This is Steve, by the way, in Ohio, N0BF. That sounds a little wrong to me. Anyway, I'm sure you'll get it figured out. That's the net, N0BF. And keep me on the list, please, Kevin."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T05:23:12+00:00","id":63030,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63029,"text":" Almost certainly Steve, no problem, we'll definitely do that. Oh my god, I was meaning to give him some information. I don't know if he's still, oh, just slipped my mind. I'll do it and repeat it tomorrow if he isn't listening now, but I'll put it on the air. You don't, Brian, you don't have to retest. I was talking to an examiner friend of mine, I ran into him while I was on Main Street and he's here as well. He is a VE3, okay, and he's an examiner, I believe, for the Scarborough Amateurs. His name is Dean Sug, VE3 Sug. Anyways, I asked him, if you have an American Extra, can you use it in Canada? He said most certainly. He says even if you get, even if they make your, even if your, like, it's optional whether you get a Canadian call or not. That's up to you. I mean, it depends. If people are breaking your chops about it and you relent, even if you do that, you don't have to retest. You have a reciprocal agreement with the U.S. so you can absolutely use your Extra call in Canada. You don't need to retest. I asked him that, him being an examiner. I said, if an American comes to Canada and decides to operate here whether permanently or full-time, does he have to retest? Can he still use it? He said certainly he can still use his call. He also even observed, like I thought, well I don't know if examiners would observe it the same way. They're not stupid, so they would know that he had said that even, well, like, go on BOIP. It's less observed there. So, he had mentioned that as well. No one's going to care exactly where you happen to be, where your fingerprint happens to be at at the time. So, yes. You don't need to retest. You can use your Extra call here. You just have to, well, it's a little, it might be a little dicey in that you have to observe the Canadian ban rules. So, if you have your American call, he wasn't sure if you can work the Canadian ban, right? Because the Canadian ban, the lower portion, right? There's only a few bans that have it. But the Canadian bans on 75 and 80 and 40 and 20, like, you know, the zeros, like, you know, the cold portions, like 14, 0, 7.0, 3.6, because they're allowed to go super low. And he kind of thought that if you sport your AB1, sorry, yeah, your AB1 call on those part of the bans, like, On Tars, Ontario, Open Line, and a few of those places, BC, Open Line. He kind of suspected that they might say, you're out of band, old man. And so, he thought maybe avoid those, just so you don't have to always deal with that. Or, just tell them to go blaze and that you're in the right. So, really depends on how you want to explain yourself. He said he wouldn't want to always deal with it. So, either he really tried, like he said, him personally, he would really, either he would try to really research it or the short answer is, to just stay off of it then. He said, what does your friend do, right? And I said, right, because I was talking about you, and I said, well, he does a lot of Echolink, and you know, he rides around on his bike and uses RF, and he uses All Stars and Echolink, and back and forth. He said, ah, he's got no problem. As long as you're talking about Canada and US, he said he thinks he could give you a definite answer. It's just more if you would have asked about UK, or if you would have asked about Mexico, then you know, then it becomes whether the US has a reciprocal agreement with them or not. The answer is probably not, but I don't know. So, you're definitely home free, no matter where you want to make your home. Spout wings and just have fun.

I was talking to my brother outside. You were obviously coming through the repeater. I was just wondering if you were using a handheld or what's your operating conditions there?

So I'm going to skip the question part. I had an interesting conversation today. About 2.30 in the morning, I was monitoring the dew drop in and Michigan came in with a gentleman from Russia, Siberia area, east coast of Russia, right down near the Japan Sea, I think he said. And we got to talk a little bit. That is the first contact that I've ever had from Russia that I can remember. I had a few others that I've had in different countries like Iceland. I talked to a gentleman there several times now that he's on the KC wide net. And I like talking to him because I used to live up there for several years and like to know what's going on up there what's changed. And this man speaks perfect English, the guy the guy in Iceland, but this gentleman in Russia, his English is broken up. And we had a, you know, it was a short conversation, but I looked up on the map where he was at. And then I looked at some videos of his town, which there's not very many videos out there, but it was interesting to see the situation there. You know, homes were kind of run down. Roads were kind of all beat up. You know, of course, it probably smells there quite a bit. In fact, he had said that they had just gotten the snow this last couple of days. And there's cows just kind of walking and wandering anywhere around town. It was kind of neat. And I think that was so interesting. And the area was so unique that I went ahead and I sent him a mail or letter, email, excuse me.

So I went to chat to get to me I took the whole letter in there I said convert it over to Russian and I sent my very first Russian speaking or written language to somebody else in the world. It's just unusual first time first time is the first time for everything and it took me until I was 62 years old to to do this. So hopefully I get a reply from them and have some good conversations because I don't know I'm just very interested in that part of the world not the government or the politics but just the lifestyle that they live and how things are and I would kind of share back and forth there so who knows we'll find out.

It's still early here. It's only 5.37 so I'm trying not to make too much noise. Don't want to wake my wife up any earlier than she needs to get up. She tends to be a much nicer person if I don't wake her up too early. But what else? There we go. Yeah, great to have that one station from the U.S. there in Newfoundland. Hope he enjoys his breakfast. One of these days I'll get out there and try it. But by then that will make three meals for me. Just don't eat as much as I used to. Which is good because that's what you need to do in order to lose weight. I weighed myself this morning down to 220. So I'm on the right path. One house was there. But I need to eat my noodles so I can take my pills. Because if I take all my pills first thing in the morning without eating breakfast then I end up with a sour stomach.

Oh, and hash browns, and hash browns, can't forget the hash browns. And the one at the big R is the same way. I haven't been there in years, mind you, but that was like the best breakfast man, real greasy, hangover style breakfast. And I loved it. Ate there numerous times over the years, both there actually and the big R. Big R was good because it was just like a restaurant style motif, but the Celtic is more like a bar style motif, but it's a restaurant, but it's kind of more like darker inside, you know, it's kind of like a bar environment as opposed to the big R, which I'm not even sure if that location is even still open on Harvey Road, but Black Marsh Road location is still open. I guess they still serve breakfast, that was like one of their big things. They get a lot of people in the mornings for breakfast because it was just so damn good. They sold like smaller breakfasts and stuff too, but I always just loved the big breakfast. I'd take like most of those meats and a couple of the eggs and I'd put it on a toast and make a giant breakfast sandwich. And that was my bag, that was my way to go. And loved it. Every single time it was always good. So I'm curious to hear what the gentleman there says from the Celtic, because I haven't been there like you say in like 15 years. I suppose it's still open, yeah it's still open, it has to be. It was like the killer spot for breakfast downtown. It's right next to all the bars and stuff too. So it was like the ideal spot, right?

He goes, stop in in the morning and we'll discuss it over coffee. So if they don't want to watch profits, then that's good. Easier for me. Now, where I'm at now, they don't want me in their office.

So, here's an interesting one and there's kind of a story that goes with this question, but I'll ask the question first. Do you have any naughty habits driving? Do you still use your phone and text? That one was inspired when I was listening to CBC Vancouver overnight. They didn't sleep, so I was listening to the program, there was a phone-in show and they had talked about the Canadian government now really, really serious about busting and coming up with harder restrictions, punishments for distracted drivers. And they had found that a lot of people are distracted and there's a lot of accidents happening and they think it's on account of some of that because one of the things you hear when you listen to the CTV news in Toronto is, and one of the reasons I like to listen to the Toronto cast, even though right now it's none of my business, but one of the reasons I like to ear hustle, well, that too, and troll, but one of the reasons is the first stories that you always hear are these terrible car crashes and accidents and fires and just terrible traffic accidents that happen. And actually on the phone-in show, on the overnight show, there were callers, this is funny, well, not funny if they kill somebody or if they wreck something, but there were callers that Okay, there were callers that were bragging about the fact that, I think they were being facetious, right? Some of them said, hey, well, I do my hair and I'm cooking a meal behind the backseat while I'm driving. When I'm driving down the 407 and there was even a guy called in from New York and said that when he's driving down the LIE and the PQE, he's texting away and he was laughing at the fact"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T06:03:44+00:00","id":63068,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63067,"text":" OK, yeah, you... Yeah, Brian said just now on the screen, and I'm glad you're there, because I hope you heard my little spiel earlier. I'll repeat it in a second. But, he said that Montreal is trying to make it mandatory. You can't hold your iPhone with both hands while riding a bicycle? For real, for real? Can't you hide it somehow? That'd be like figuring out ways to conceal it. But OK. So... Hold on, let me get back into the right screen here. Hold on a minute. I'm going to unkey first. Well, so the New Yorker on the talk show, he was saying that in his situation, since he's bragging about multitasking while he's driving, he says he's relying on everyone else. Like, you know, I'm on this stretch of highway, he said, and I'm relying on everyone else to do the right thing. He's kind of laughing about it, and I guess kind of saying, because he's not. So, now, see, I'll never drive, right? Obviously, right? Ray Charles will drive first. But, you know, it's like, again, how's he going to do that? But, you know, it's like, I kind of picture, right? I would either always be arrested or something, or I'd probably be a bad driver. Because I know when I'm walking, right? Because I don't have to look at my phone. So, it's always in my pocket. And I have the headphones on, well, the earbuds, and I'm just kind of doodling around. I might switch the station, right? Because I'm listening to something. Or change a song, or maybe write a quick message. I mean, I don't text enough to be able to, like, say I'm bragging about I'm texting all the time. That isn't me. I don't text a lot. Right? And I can kind of write out a quick message if I really had to. So, I kind of envisioned, like, if I had a car, right? Now, see, the problem is, is I'm assuming that I'm the way I am, where I'm deaf in one ear right now. So, I don't need the big car boom box. I don't need the stereo, you know. You got guys that pay 25 G's on their booming system, and then some bad guys got them at the light, and they're drowning in their tears. So, that isn't me, right? Like, you got a couple of badasses saying, dope stereo, check it in, punk! See, but like, I just kind of, I wouldn't even really need the stereo, right? I would probably just have my little phone in my pocket and the earphones on. And I know my brother, when he was alive, at one point, before he got a big, like, Alpine system that he paid a lot of money for, he used to just, like, he used to have, like, a little tape recorder or a clock radio or a little ghetto blaster that he just plugged into the lizer. And that was his little system when he wanted music or, you know, if he wanted to listen to 680 news, because people driving in Toronto, a lot of times they tune to that for the traffic and the weather and all the rest of it. So, that was kind of his style. In fact, there was a funny story where one of my friends had given him, like, a ghetto blaster, because he had to make a long drive and he didn't have a car stereo. So, he popped in, like, a, like, like a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a confidently. At that time, and, it was just booming down the street with, uh, the gay-ass R&B that kicked the pre-planes, booming out of the system. So, anyways, so, that's what kind of inspired that question, was the phone-in show. So, that will be next, but in the meantime, And between time, we would like to take some more names and call signs, so, if you'd like to check in, lots of room for you, and still, some time left, not in a rush.

Oh, I've been sitting here looking at this one photographer on Flickr and he is absolutely the best I have seen in a long time and he does such supreme work. All his photos have just the right colors and the sharpness and the contrast. It's just so awesome. So I recommend if you want to see some excellent pictures of mostly Europe, street photography and architecture that you go over to Snaps by Todd. S-N-A-P-S-B-Y-T-O-D-D-Y all one word. Take a look at his work because it's awesome. It really is. So that's what I've been doing as you've been going through this net. Got to keep myself busy, right? I mean some people have interesting things to say, some not so interesting. So to compliment the net I look at photos. Anyhow, so it's something I do. I get a lot of people that, you know, look at my stuff. They do critiques and they, you know, favor it or not favor it and then I do the same favor back and go back to the same people and look through their stuff and see what they have. There are some really talented photographers out there, I'll tell you. It's fun. I enjoy it. I made some friendships through Flickr and it's a good way of going just to spend some time. It's better than a photo book you can get from Barnes and Noble at us for sure. Let it drop real quick. So I did hear this question. I remember it. Do you text where you drive? What are your bad habits when you drive? I don't text. I told you that before while driving. I gave you the legal reasons why and the things that the police can do to find out if you really text and drive at the same time, especially if you're a truck driver and you have an ELD in your truck. But I do some other things in my truck that are common, you know, that are habits for me that I've done for over 40 years like pick my nose, sit up out of my seat and rub my ass or scratch my ass. When I see a beautiful girl coming up in a car beside me, I always look down. Never know what you're going to find. And I can't go on a nap while I'm driving down the road but that's, you know, I don't recommend that unless you have lots of experience and you have a sixth sense of direction and feel of the road. Kevin, take me off the list but I'm going to give it up for the day. I got other things to do. Back to you or no? Oh, it's going to be, it's going to be Ben again, right? I think it's Ben.

Have a good day, George. Yeah, you never know what you're going to see when you look down on the truck anymore. You see a beautiful girl coming up and she gets up close to you and she's holding her hand. You wish you could unsee stuff like that. But I never answered the first question. I forgot all about it. Do I work, as I said, in the office? Yes. Would I like to work remotely? Yes. But that's a long ways off. I don't know if that's going to come about before I retire. They'll probably have self-driving trucks, but I don't think they'll have where you can work remote. That's just too much. What is it? There have been \u2013 I just saw another one. I think yesterday, you know, they had those Amazon drone deliveries. And last month they had two of them crash into this crane that was working at this job site. And so they said they were going to be suspending the drone delivery service until they had that figured out. But I guess they got it figured out because I just saw another one yesterday where a drone \u2013 people are taking a picture of a drone that crashed in this neighborhood. So it was inevitable. And then a brand new service or a brand new whole thing, drone deliveries, there's \u2013 you probably have right at the very beginning a lot of success. But eventually, you know, drones get older, flight patterns or, you know, more drones get out there. There was bound to be some accidents, some things happening. So we'll see how that goes. I haven't looked in the app to see if I could get anything delivered. I don't mean anything. That doesn't mean I can't look and test it and say, hey, yeah, yeah, I want something delivered. What do you got? But what else was there? I finally got the \u2013 whoops, got to grab one here. Finally got the counter cleared of everything else and the mail moved to the side. I got most of my mail gone through but I still have a few things. So now I can fold my clothes. My wife's alarm was going off. I thought I heard something and it just kept going off. But her earbuds, so she doesn't have to listen to me snore, was keeping her from hearing the alarm. So that was probably enough. I went in there and woke her up gently. No cold water. All right. I was the last one on the list. This is a 9-0-2 back to the future killer. Hey, yeah, no problem. Yeah, something's a TMI but, hey, look, at least it's not as bad as living in bottles. That's more of a lot. If you're used to that, you might be listening to yesterday and maybe then you might be used to that. Well, hold on a second. You need more stuttering while you do that. That's how you would do that. No problem. We're in a civilization here. We don't do that. Okay, so the next three are what it was before. Daryl, Rick, and Gray. Daryl, Rick, and Gray.

Um, kind of like a newer Super Mario 3D kind of game. Um, it's not just a side-scroller. Like the old Marios, it's actually a, uh, like a 3D world, and you explore, and you're picking up coins, and you're... puzzles, and it's just an all-around fun game. I gotta say, I really enjoy it. I can eat up easily, like an hour, and it just goes by like nothing. I'm like, ooh, I've been playing that for an hour. But it is fun. Um, I like playing lots of games, of course. Uh, Super Blood Hockey is another one of my favorites. Kind of like hockey, but you're, like, they really emphasize on the fighting in this one, and you can literally, like, knock someone's head off, or, or completely kill them, and then you gotta, then they got one last player on their team. So, fighting and killing your opponents is, uh, is part of the game. You know, if you kill a guy from their team, they got less of a chance of beating you, but then they'll try and kill a guy from your team. So it's kind of like a fighting game, but it's a hockey game. It's called Super Blood Hockey, if anybody plays games. I don't know if even any of you guys do. I might be the only one, uh, out here that plays any video games. I play a lot of them, let me tell you. A significant amount of my time is eaten up that way. And, uh, I haven't been working a whole big lot these days, so, um, most of what I do is people dropping off laptops, primarily. That's like, in the last month, that's all I've done is a few laptops. And, uh, now and then, you know, it's security cameras or something like that, so I've got to go to someone's house, but that doesn't happen often these days either. Uh, most of the people that I know have had, uh, security systems installed by now, cameras and DVRs and stuff like that, so. But, um, I'm going to offer a new service now, a data recovery, which I think is one that, uh, people are probably gonna want. You know, how many dimes?

And he said, my goodness, I can see 400 yards behind your trailer. This is amazing. But yeah, I'm the ultimate distracted driver. I've been able to, and that's before cell phones so you can imagine with cell phones what kind of damage I won't do. If I do anything with my cell phone it's in my driving circle so I can see what I'm doing. I don't put it down like a lot of people do and do the texting. I put it right up in, if I'm going to get a ticket I'm going to be seen. A, E7, M1, back to the group. Thank you for bringing me in because you can't pick me up. Alpha, ethical 7, Michael, Romeo. Oh yes, no problem Terry and we'll get back to you. And yeah, I said, yeah, I saw you on the text window and anyone else that's trying to get in. Of course, you can always do that as well. Yeah, there's also distracted walking. Just imagine that. There was a real terrible thing that kind of happened when I was in high school. And it was in North York, in Toronto and North York. One of my music teachers, Mr. Rondo, if he's still even around, he was a really cool dude. Anyways, he had brought in a story into the class because he was really late for his class. Can you open the camera? Can you open the camera? Yeah, you can see through the phone. Well, he was late, right? We were screwing around, playing our instruments and stuff. It was a regular day. He had said that he was late because he was talking to the police. And he had had a buddy that the police killed. They were telling him about it. Then he relayed the story to us. The guy was on a foot chase with the cops. Never said why, right? I don't know. And Mr. Rondo didn't say why. The kids asked him. But he just went on with his story. He didn't answer. He said that the guy was shot down by the police because they saw him reaching into his pocket. And later on they determined that he was reaching in to probably turn his Walkman off. He had a pair of headphones and a Walkman on. They thought he was reaching for a gun. And so they killed him because of that. But he was only just probably trying to turn the volume down or turn the Walkman off. So he could hear shouting. Because he heard shouting all around him. And so he probably wanted to ask about that. So he had told us that the guy was shot down by the police. And all he was doing was reaching for a Walkman. And so it was complicated. He couldn't get away from them. So that's why the delay, sorry I'm late. That was the greeting he gave us one afternoon. I kind of remember that. Then he had also commented, because he's not from Toronto. Right? So he had been, and I was one of the kids from Toronto. He's not even from North York. Right? So he had said at the time, Kevin your town is starting to get very funky. The police and the people are starting to just act very funky. So that's what he said. And I think he meant in the original sense of what funky is. It's not like cool hip hop cool like people have made it. Right? Funky just means something stank. Something will stank up in here. It's not supposed to be good. But people have turned it good. Right? Like say that guy over there playing the record, he's funky. So they've turned it into something good. Alright, well, looking at the time here, let's see if anyone else would like to check in before I figure out what to do here. I'm going to also count the names. So if you'd like to check in, you've got another chance here to come out."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T06:38:09+00:00","id":63089,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63088,"text":" Okay, well I think we could probably do one huge round here because I got eight names.

We'll hear him at the end there. And so let me get you a take home question and we'll check it out. Okay, this question was inspired by who else, me. I was kind of talking to some people back home in Toronto and they were asking me, are you keeping clean, are you keeping okay? And I was lying through my face talking to them. Because what they were asking, and this question will give you an idea, so here is the question for y'all. Is there any food you're ordered to avoid and do you make trips and sneak it like a guilty pleasure? Like maybe you might do a midnight run or maybe you like the cover of darkness. To see my, okay, okay, I'm not supposed to have sweets, alright? I'm not totally cut off of sweets. And I'm not really supposed to have rice and certain things like that, like anything to waste, aren't you? Because I'm overweight and my dad has this deathly fear that I could get diabetes like what he has. So he is on me like that all the time, right? So a lot of times I just kind of just randomly take off through the day and I'll tell him and I might get some brownies or something like that which is kind of a no-no. Or I might get some donuts or whatever or sometimes I love butter tarts. I like those lemon tarts, those Canadian lemon tarts and sometimes I'll get that. So basically asking if you have a guilty pleasure. So is there any food, your doctor or anyone else you're ordered to avoid and do you sneak it anyways? Do you make trips and sneak it like a guilty pleasure? And so let's roll her back to the top. Let me look at these names."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T06:41:21+00:00","id":63092,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63091,"text":" OK, I still gotta find that window.

VE3SBX, thanks Kev. Thanks for giving me a break to get something to eat. Speaking of eating, no, there's nothing that I'm not supposed to eat, but I do have a guilty pleasure. And it's the little, they're called, they used to be called ruffles. They're little chocolate finger cookies that are coconut and some sort of mushy nugget stuff inside.

All right well I'm working on my watch bands. I've got I took out two links and that wasn't quite enough so I'm trying to decide if I want to take out two more or just one more. Plus I wanted to take it out from the other side to try to keep things even on the watch. But um this one is red and it's got a gold stripe and it's metal so it kind of looks like an Iron Man type of thing. Then the other ones like a titanium, raw titanium and then orange. So I'll have to take a picture of them put them up on the group. But um yeah I got ended up getting four, five, five more watch bands because Teemu was having a sale. So I went on there found some got some items as well and got those from my wife and my daughter. But um guilty pleasures yeah I mean the heart doctor was telling me you know that I should try to get my cholesterol that I wasn't in the high range but I was you know pushing the top of the low range. And so he put me on robo satin or something and when I went in for my physical my bad cholesterol was so low that their device didn't register it. But my good cholesterol was down because I wasn't getting enough exercise. So um but you know you know he talked about you know certain things to avoid. One of them was you know red meat you know and I was always a medium rare kind of guy when it came to my steaks. So I've been trying to do more medium well so well when I do get my steak because you know I like my steak and eggs there at the casino. And you know I've been cutting back on eating candy you know other things like that but that's going along with my my weight loss trying to lose some weight here. That's about it. I know one thing that Darryl's gonna say and that's cheesecake. They haven't had cheesecake in a while and I think I might get some soon.

I won't hold it. I'm going to see if we can get through here without having to disconnect Michigan. So anybody on the Michigan conference, I am watching the time and I will disconnect if necessary. But I think we're going to get through this list here before the worldwide French nut starts. Yep, cheesecake is definitely my guilty pleasure. I shouldn't eat it. I haven't in a long time. It's more financial though than not because cheesecakes are like 20 or 25 bucks for a full one. So it's just mainly I don't have the money for it. If I did, I would have a cheesecake. Probably right now there would be one in the fridge. But everything is so expensive around here. I mean I usually manage to pull out around 200 bucks a little over a little less sometimes every two weeks for groceries. And that's just for one dude. And trust me, the time next grocery day comes around, pickings are pretty slim. And then I drop another couple hundred, I mean 400 to 450 bucks a month for one dude for grub. That's a lot. It really is. Like the price is on everything except the roof. I bought a whole bunch of pink sticker stuff at the grocery store this week. I got a lot of meats. And they put the pink sticker 50% off like two days before the best before date is up. But that doesn't matter because I freeze all my meat anyway. So I got really good deals this time. I got some good like $30 steaks for like 15 bucks and some good $15 steaks for like seven something. So I bought a lot of steak, pork, chicken, a roast. Oh yeah, I'm having a pork tenderloin today that I thought last night. Looking really forward to that. I love pork tenderloin. It's one of my favorite things in the world when it comes to meat. But I eat a lot of meat. Burgers, hot dogs, chicken, pork, steak, roasts, you know. I tried liver recently again. I used to love liver. But I think it was, you know, just the way my mom prepared it or something because I tried to eat it and it was gross. It was disgusting. I still got another package of it in the fridge that will probably get freezer burnt and eventually thrown in the garbage. But it really wasn't good. Or maybe if I, you know, cooked it up with mushrooms and onions and stuff like my mom used to do, like sauteed onions and then do the liver in there. This liver, man, I really used to love it. But I really didn't like it a few days ago when I had it. I was looking forward to it too. I was like, oh my, because I haven't seen it in a grocery store in a while. And I was like, yeah, I want to have me some liver. So I bought a couple of packages. It was on for a decent price, a couple of bucks a package."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T06:48:45+00:00","id":63096,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63095,"text":" It really was not good anyhow enough talk.

As far as liver goes, if you start sweating the onions and add in the fan and then you put egg and flour, put that on your liver and any spices that you think you might want. Then you set that liver on top of the onions and put a top over it. By the time the onions are sweat down, the liver is ready and they turn it over. That's a good way. As far as cheesecake goes, I'm a big cheesecake eater. I used to make my own, but it's been a while. That distracted walking program, that was always somebody saying, I'm not looking up.

The console hasn't been delivered yet. It's coming from Colorado and therefore the only thing I haven't yet purchased will be the TV for my apartment. For those who don't know, I used to live with my sister Jeannie in Gold Canyon after I lost my wife. After a couple of years we decided to separate. We're not fighting or anything like that. She needs her house back to her and her needs and I need better meals for me. She needs healthy meals which means she doesn't cook normal people food. That's something I get here. I am in a senior living facility at independent living level, not assisted living, at least not yet. I get my meals one day a week. My apartment is all clean.

I used to be heavily into photography and I had a fairly significant investment in Nikon 35mm cameras. I'm looking at the case with a high-end camera and several high-quality lenses and I no longer use it so I'm wondering what do I do with it. I guess right now I'll just stick it on the floor of the closet but I'm probably never going to use that again. I should maybe sell it or garage sell it or something.

I'll go ahead but I think we want to make sure to get them and perhaps AB7DW can come back at some point and let us know who else he had. Anyway, I honestly have been wracked in my brain for who I would have dinner with who was famous. There's just so many people. I'm fond of history and I'm interested in it and it would be interesting to get the angle on what the situation was really for somebody way back in the day. I think SAKA-JOE would be interesting. How was she treated? What kind of expertise did she feel she brought to the Lewis and Clark expedition? Things like that. What was her life like? Someone like that might be of interest to me but I don't know what it was. Anyway, what I'm up to, grandma is home. She is home and she is very happy to be home but she's a bit weak which leads me to change my plans today. I wish I could go to Rick Reel but honestly I don't feel comfortable leaving her alone for an extended period of time and it would not be a relaxing or restful place for her to hang out. Anyway, I'm not going to go to Rick Reel because I'm a little bit noisy. If any of the other guys go to Rick Reel's listing, I don't think I'm going to make it. Sorry about that. I hate to miss lunch punch and everything but she comes first. I need to hang out and just make sure she's doing all right. She's just a little bit too weak to do for herself as she ordinarily does. That's it for me. I can't remember if I'm not controlled tomorrow. I think I'm not. I think Gina is not controlled tomorrow but I'll double check. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great day. 7-3-L.

Okay, she doesn't count. That's a hard one. Famous living or dead. Okay. I would have to say Sir Paul McCartney. Yeah. It was once assumed that he was dead back in 66, wait a minute, 66, 67? Anyway, I saw a documentary on it but yeah it was all a hoax. But you know it's kind of funny that, anyway I won't get into the details about it but oh most definitely I have seen him once in concert. Excuse me. I'm working on his breakfast right now so maybe I need some water. We did see him in Kansas City in July of 2010 and I had a sign made and I held it up and luckily the camera caught it on stage, caught it and the big screen you know back on stage and of course Paul had his back to it and it said, we're from Canada on one side and we love you Paul on the other. So yeah, I've always been intrigued, I mean I'm always reading stuff by him, about him, being a huge Beatles fan and I want to get his just on exactly what led to his being dead hoax kind of thing. Maybe it was for publicity, I don't know. Anyway, a standby, keep it off for the first bit. And VA6GRZ returning so I'll put a bow on this one for now and everybody have a good day.

I'm not really worried about the tissues and stuff, but there's some other things, you know, stuff that you throw away every day, the plastic stuff, whatever, anyway. So I had to run. But yeah, I remember watching many documentaries about the stuff about Paul McCartney, and they've done it to Michael Jackson, they've done it to KISS members, and all sorts of stuff about, you know, people putting rumors, and they still do, putting stuff online about so-and-so is dead and whatever. I'm not sure why they did it about Paul McCartney, though, I don't remember the whole thing on there, but I remember a lot of bands, especially in the early days, even when I was a young kid, there was a lot of bands, especially like Elvis, Elvis is dead, I mean, it did come true later on in 77, but anyway.

The past well I've had the little puppy now and the little miniature pincher a little over two months and she really hasn't done much wrong at all normal puppy stuff but all of a sudden just as the net started they were starting to act up her and the other little puppy and it's just been kind of running around so I messed up the question and didn't even write down the post that checked in which I've been doing every day on the net since Joe has been gone anyway so sorry to do a better job but at least we got them in and as for me I'm not really sure I've always admired Robin Williams if we want to go with someone deceased I just found him to be so just interesting in general I loved his comedy loved his quick wit and I would have loved to just sit there with him although I'm not sure if sitting down with him for dinner would be good because he was always on a different he was always doing something different so I don't know if he could really stay focused but he was just I always was a big Robin Williams fan so that would be who I'd like to go to dinner with if I could would be Robin Williams so anyway that that's who I would pick not that much else going on all is good here and I will excuse me I know I'm starting to not feel so great anyway not much else going on just spending the day with the puppies of course and tomorrow's Sunday so I'm hoping that we have a quiet weekend and we can get some things done around the house I'm not not much going on I'll turn it back to you good morning to all everybody have a great weekend and back to you there Dave 87 DW from kt7 JLE everybody have a great day"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T07:36:05+00:00","id":63147,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63146,"text":" Oh wow, is this thing getting out?

And a very big happy birthday to Joyce from myself, with Scott and Bob over here in Scotland. And we hope you have a fantastic day there, Joyce. And it sounds like you've got plenty of visitors here and you're going to have lots of fun. So look forward to hearing about that next week. And yeah, I haven't been on for a few weeks probably because I was having holiday this week. It's been half term here for the schools. So we had our October break and we headed south down to England. And we were staying in a caravan for a few days and we had such a good time. It was lovely. And the weather fell down as well. There was no rain, so that's always a good thing as well. And we did some day trips and a few kenny lazy days as well. So we really enjoyed that. So yeah, next week it's back to reality again. Back to work, back to school. And yeah, that'll be us now until the holiday season. But great to hear you all. And Barbara, sending best wishes to your grandmother there as well. Glad she's home, but think of course that she continues on the right road there as well. And yeah, the person I'd like to sit down and have dinner with, I like that one, Jesus Christ. That was a good response. That's definitely a good answer. I think the other person would probably be, and this is a hard one, but I was thinking maybe Queen Victoria. And the reason why is because so many traditions seem to have stemmed from Queen Victoria's time. Apparently the white dress, some white dresses and the whole wedding thing stems from Queen Victoria. So yeah, a lot of traditions here in the UK actually seem to stem from Queen Victoria. And yeah, I'd love to sit down and sit with her. Obviously before her Albert passed, probably in her happier days I'd rather sit down with her. But there we go.

But yeah, I wasn't going to make it anyway but it's a shame it got canceled. I wanted to wish Joyce a happy, happy birthday. Please check your email when you have a moment. And other than that, Grandma's sleeping in the living room so I'm tiptoeing around her. I got my breakfast and such but I guess it was more comfortable than the bed. But she's looking good. So anyway, that's it from me. I'll leave it to Mel to put a ribbon on things and thanks so much for running the net today at KI7DR, sending it back to net control. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7 November. My voice held out. That was a good thing. Yeah, so I'll make sure I'm not going to get down. That was about an hour drive from me anyway. So both ways. And yeah, I'd rather, I guess I'm going to be staying here today. All right, let's move on to the last person on this list and that's Mel. Put a ribbon on it. Mel, KI7DR.

We'll be next to the covered donut and cough...wait a minute here, I missed a line. We'll be next to the covered gasworks by Lake Union on the east side of the park. Come by for a donut, coffee, check into the nets, and wear a costume if you're so inclined. If you can't make it in person check into the new net via RF, Echolink, or All-Star. And of course Friday October 31st is Halloween. Saturday November 8 is the next PSRG educational meeting at 1 30 p.m. on Zune. Topic is amateur radio in space operating ham radio satellites and the ISS. The presenter is Mike, KBA-BMY. How to work ham radio at the satellites using modest equipment with an emphasis on operating the ISS. That sounds like a lot of fun. If you've ever wanted to operate ham satellites but thought it's too expensive and too complicated you'll want to see this presentation. You can do it! KBA-BMY will show you how.

Let's hear it in Newcastle. It is the weekend, oh, I'm so glad it's the weekend. It was a long week. But I will say that Friday capped off with some very, very exciting baseball going on and it was really exciting to see the Mariners game last night, see them win in the fashion that they did. And hearing Rick Rizz on the radio call Suarez's grand slam was very reminiscent of Dave Niehaus doing it back in 1995 when Edgar hit his grand slam. Very exciting, all nostalgic and, you know, haven't been this excited for baseball since my youth. Yeah, I don't know, just a lot of fun. And then I come to find out that, and I don't know, I know I'm talking about the Dodgers now, but for any true baseball fan should appreciate this. Shohei Ohtani for the Dodgers had probably one of the best single game performances of anyone in MLB history yesterday. Not only was he the starting pitcher, he was also batting and he went three for three with three home runs and he walked. That was his hitting stats and his pitching stats, he pitched six innings, did not let up any runs, and he had ten strikeouts. And that's just crazy. One of his home runs left Dodger Stadium. It went out of the stadium. It was pretty crazy. Anyway, there's all the baseball stuff going on. Today just kind of hanging out around the house. I'll probably do some chores of cleaning up the garage. I've got to get some of that organized, get some stuff out, make some room for some new stuff that's coming in there. We'll talk about that as it comes. Let's see, Ellen got some dinner plans tonight with some friends. So that's what we got going on today. Please mark Megan down as an I.O. She sends radio waves. Still waking up for the day. So K9MLR is an I.O. please. With that, I'm going to say thanks for doing the net and 7-3.

See if we would like to relocate there or not. Then we also went up to Santa Fe. Santa Fe, boy, it's an artsy-fartsy kind of town. A lot of art there. It's absolutely gorgeous and beautiful. Very touristy. Very touristy. And the houses are small. Their little adobes are littler than kind of what we were looking for. And the industry there appears to be tourism. But very worth seeing. Lots of museums. And we also visited Los Alamos. That was really neat, too. See where they made the bomb. Yeah, so it was good being away. Thank you, Jack, for covering us while we were out.

I found the two extra batteries and two antennas, but the two radios were missing and I finally found them in another box. So anyway, the radio is upstairs here and I'd like to listen downstairs while we're watching TV and eating breakfast. So anyway, I come up here to talk. So anyway, we had a pretty uneventful trip back yesterday except for the wind and the heaviness of the car. I brought the EV and with the car cop carrier, that's a lot of wind resistance and all the weight in the car, it was stacked with the gunnels. We were getting lousy range so we had to stop three times to recharge. So the wind was a big factor because there was almost a 20 mile an hour headwind the whole way across Ellensburg and Moses Lake. I mean the wind was just howling there and so that was just sucking the range down to the very point. It was almost a nail biter but not quite. So anyway, we're back on the east side now or the west side I mean and see I'm just acclimated. Back to the west side, so on RF.

So this morning, I do early morning on HF and do a couple of roundtables. One of them's called the Early Birdnet. And old curmungens, such as myself, usually, talking about radio and related. But they always have a topic of the day. And today they had one that stirred up memories in my head. And those that are close in age to me will understand. And that was Aurora slot cars, the HO cars. That was so big back when I was a kid. Yeah, had a lot of fun. Brought up a lot of memories. We had a hobby shop in our town. And they had, I think, a 16 lane championship course where they'd race and depending on your standing, you'd even end up with your name in the local paper. They had one every week. So that was kind of fun. It was like a sports event. But the James, yeah, get a yaggie up, but make it yourself. A little bit of PVC, a little bit of wire, and PL-259. Back in the day, speaking of old curmungen, back in the day I made yaggies for two meter sideband as well as quads. And for quads, you just get little one by one wood wire. And once again, PL-259, get yourself a little TV rotator and there you go, you're in. And amazing the dB gain you'd get off of it as well. But anyways, I've talked too much.

It's just a super quiet house. Even the cats are quiet and that's unusual. They're usually a little rowdy this time of day. Did we feed the cats? Oh, they got fed. Okay, that's why they quieted back down again. Yeah, and that's on the heels of a bit of an unusual night. I went and saw a family member who was at Evergreen Hospital and they had been basically alone there for three days. And then when I went to visit they had three visitors all at once. And so they were in good spirits because it's kind of boring and lonely when you're in the hospital and then suddenly they had a room full of people. So that was a nice way to wrap up Friday. Don't know exactly what's happening today. One of us might be going to a rally in downtown Kirkland. We'll see. That's coming up pretty soon I think, so somebody's got to make up their mind.

It is coming November 22nd and 23rd, if I remember correctly. Last weekend I was camping at Penrose Point on the Southern Sound, and it was glorious and peaceful and secluded, and there was no cell phone reception and a good part of the campground, and I tried getting PSRT, but I could just barely, it was like Charlie Mike 1 sometimes, so I figured that there would be no chance I could check in, but it was a wonderful, wonderful weekend. And the other thing I have to do today is do some of the post-trip, like unpacking and stuff. I just realized that the tent for the dog that we put away wet because it was raining on Monday said we need to set this up as soon as we got home is still bundled up, so I'm worried that it's full and I'll do it, but we'll see.

It's funny, we don't always do check-ins, but I feel like having come back from vacation, and it's a good time to check in and tell folks what we've been doing. But yeah, so we did go to New Mexico, and it was to scope out places that we might be interested in moving to in like I said, maybe five years or so. We're kind of just getting close enough to retirement that it's like, well, we better start making some decisions. Ideally, to answer, so Ryan, to answer your question, am I ready for 160? No, I'm not. I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. I like our climate here. I'm very accustomed to it. I don't like the extreme. If it gets too cold or too, probably more so if it gets too hot. I am very uncomfortable. So the ideal would be that we move, we buy a house down there, and then maybe have a smaller house or a condo up here in the Seattle area, and we can go back and forth and be snowbirds. So that's kind of the plan. It's been summers up here and winters down there, but like I mentioned earlier, we're not 100% convinced that New Mexico is where we want to go. And we've got a lot of time to figure it out. So that's kind of what we're doing. The balloon festival was amazing. It was really cool. We walked out onto the field when they were doing the morning ascension. And you know, you're out there in the dark, and all the flames going up in these balloons as they're filling up and getting ready to kick off. That was amazing. It was really, really cool. Hey, by the way, for any coders out there, the free event, I've planned and put together a, we're going to participate, the place I work is Classmates, and we're going to participate in what's called a Global Day of Code Retreat. And that's November 7th. And if you go to codereachreat.org and look for events, it's free. There's no money involved in anything like that. A day for software engineers to practice their craft. And I thought I might mention that because I know there's a lot of software engineers that are ham radio folks. Because it goes hand in hand. Anyway, so if anybody's interested, ask me because I think it will be a lot of fun.

Actually it's funny because we were thinking originally well what about you know our friend Ron went down to Arizona in the Phoenix area and that seems way way too hot for me and so you know New Mexico being a little bit more of a high desert we thought you know it tends to be about 10 degrees hotter than you know here in the Pacific Northwest generally speaking but it was the first couple days we were there it was really really hot. I think that there's something about being closer to the Sun maybe that less atmosphere to block the rays that makes the Sun a lot more intense so anyway I don't know I'll quit complaining.

Rick Rizz is a really great announcer. Total pro. If you don't have. If you're not able to get a game on television. There are some people who just elevate the game a little more than others. Rick is one of those. Yeah this idea of being a snowbird. As I get closer to retirement. That's something I think about all the time. While I do have a little bit of a foothold in Arizona. My sister lives in Phoenix. I'm not sure if I want to live down there. Just because. Well I spend too much time because it is a little bit hot. But I have found the more I go down there. I do get used to the heat after a certain amount of time. In fact I found myself when I was down there last time. Like a hundred and three. I was just like sweating. She's lived there for like twenty years. I was going this isn't really too bad. I think the thing that makes me the most nervous is hearing about the electricity bills. That people have down there. When these several hundred dollars a month for air conditioning. I'm leaning more towards the idea of taking more extended. When I get to retirement. Extended trips like two weeks here. Two weeks there. Doing an airbnb thing every once in a while. But yeah. Anyway good to hear you back.

Yes, I should continue with saying Chandler, there's a lot of hams that are down there. I was looking at a couple different smaller ham radio project things. I can't think of any off the top of my head, but their addresses were all in Chandler. So it might be worth checking out to see what's really going on down there. But then on the other hand, if you want to play HF, maybe there's too many operators in there and you might have to start buying pass-through filters or band pass or something so you can all coexist.

I've always wanted to go through there just for the lore and the fun of it, you know. And there's some other places too. And we did, oh yeah, Dana said we did cruise down Route 66.

Can MBDC Brooks here? Yes, Gil Emms, Gil Mariners. Holy cow. Yeah, it was pretty exciting to see Cal Raleigh hit a home run to tie it up and then the bases got all loaded and Suarez comes up and hits that home run. They had the seismograph installed at T-Mobile Park and you can find the data there and it shows a great big spike when Raleigh hits his home run to tie the game and an even bigger one when the grand slam comes in to put us ahead of Toronto. So that was very exciting and all I could think of was the 95 game when Dave Niehaus called Edgar Martinez his grand salami. What does he say? Get out the rye bread and mustard grandma. It's grand salami time. So I had to of course look up the call from Rick Rizz on the radio. So I'm curious if Dean heard that too. Rick Rizz did the rye bread and mustard grand salami call over the radio. So I found a clip of that overlaid over the video. Pretty good. So yeah, very exciting. Looking forward to the game tomorrow and hey we have a chance to go to the World Series. The Mariners. So exciting. Anyway, the other exciting thing, I mentioned this on the morning net too, you know, I'm not necessarily, I'm not a Dodgers fan but I am a Shohei Ohtani fan just because he's a great baseball player and if you look at his game that he had yesterday, holy cow, he was three for three with three home runs and a walk and he was the starting pitcher and he had, he pitched six innings of scoreless baseball and he had ten strikeouts all in the same game. The top of the first inning he struck out all three batters and then he was the first batter in the bottom of the inning and he hit a home run. That's just unreal. That's like the stuff of legends right there. Anyway, there's the baseball stuff. In terms of the Rainer Shine net and the music to play when the donuts come, I was going to say, hey, you know, usually there's a band out there practicing and maybe we can get them to play some music when the donuts show up but, you know, I think there's going to be a Husky game going on and I suspect those band members are all part of the Husky band so we actually might not have to deal with the band playing this year. I don't know, we'll see. There's my theory. Anyway, thanks for doing the NetJack. 738, I'm going to find some lunch.

It's a song called Mull of Kintyre by Paul McCartney and Wings, and it was a huge hit in Great Britain. And it was released in the US, but it was the B-side of the song called Girls' School. And it wasn't on any album. I think it might be a bonus cut on the London Town reissue, but it just came out as a single. But yeah, it's interesting because you think the Beatles, one of the biggest groups ever, but a solo song from Paul McCartney sold more copies than She Loves You or Hey Jude or any of the Beatles songs. It's just interesting. Yeah, it's a good song. It's kind of this, I don't know, this sort of waltz-like thing with this big bagpipe ending at the end. So yeah, for whatever reason it just never really caught on in the US. I mean at the time I think people were getting more into edgier things like punk and stuff like that. But yeah, the Mull of Kintyre by Paul McCartney and Wings. I think the biggest selling song now is Elton John, Candle in the Wind after Princess Diana passed away.

Basically, space junk. And each week, if you follow the numbers each week, they seem to be constantly going up. 31,901 objects are tracked globally today. Neither are a particular size. There's many, many more of these up there. And if you were to look, I don't have the numbers right here in front of me, so it will be the same. You can check in a little while, but I'm almost certain that has gone up since last week. Almost weekly we're seeing an increase in the number of objects that are up in space. They're listed as space junk. 1,844 over my area today. I always put that in there for a little bit of context. So lots of stuff going up there. And as I mentioned last week, I'll mention again too, there's a threshold of 100,000 objects once it reaches that, which I think is probably 2050. Then you start seeing a lot of collisions happening. And from those collisions, again, it's referred to as a Kepler syndrome, where more objects are produced from those collisions. So if they keep sending all these objects up, once they reach a saturation point of 100,000, then you're going to start seeing a lot of satellite failures. Just dropping for a sec. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November, Quebec, November. All star node 6222. And asteroids and near-Earth objects, as opposed to potentially hazardous objects. These ones here are just asteroids that are kept track of because of proximity to us and our relationship is that we orbit them where they come in between us and our orbit in the sun there. None of these I'm going to recite here in a moment are of any danger to us. In fact, they're all rather small. On the 19th, we'll have a 2022 UU15, an asteroid, 14.8 lunar distances away.

And we also had Subtropical Storm Karen and that was a short-lived system and that was in the North Atlantic on October 10th and it quickly dissipated.

And of course, I'll get to this a little later on, there were some typhoon remnants that impacted Alaska, and that did a fair bit of damage to a number of villages, so we're going to discuss that later on in the net. And then in the eastern Pacific, there was Hurricane Priscilla, that formed and that paralleled the southwest coast of Mexico, but it didn't really, there were some coastal waves and stuff, but in terms of hard impacts there weren't any. And globally, so far the strongest storm of the season so far, 2025, has been Typhoon Ragatha, and that was in the western Pacific, and that attained a minimum pressure of 905 HPA, so quite low, and the deadliest system so far of 2025, that was the tropical system, was a deep depression in the north Indian Ocean, which caused 111 deaths in Nepal, India, and Bhutan, and that one was, you get these storms forming like in the Bay of Bengal, and they moved north, and that's essentially what this was, it was the equivalent of a tropical storm, but it was super slow moving, it moved into areas with high densities for population, and you had a lot of death, those results from the flooding. Let me drop it. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November Quebec November. Several other things we'll discuss, Europe, Spain and Britain, there was a lot of flooding in Spain, there was also in Britain, the insurance companies over there, they were basically saying that there's a new flood risk that has been modeled throughout much of the area that constitutes Britain, and some towns with sea level rise and storm surge might potentially need to be abandoned due to the escalating problems of coastal erosion, sea level rise, and of course, flooding with tidal surges and storm surges, that sort of stuff, so that's a bit of a problem.

So that's been a big problem over there. That doesn't really get a lot of coverage in the western media so I just figured I'd mention that. And in Central and East Africa, they're having flooding as well. There's been persistent flooding in the south, in the south wetlands, so that's Northern Sudan and along the Lagan and Chari Rivers and Chad and that's also extending into Northern Cameroon since those rivers flow into there.

Essentially a blizzard started late Friday, October 3rd and intensified overnight into Saturday, October 4th. And this basically occurred on the eastern slopes of Mount Everest known as the Tangshang face and it's within the Everest scenic area on the Tibetan side of the mountain. So there were tons of hikers or mountaineers and these guys were all, these people were all at an altitude of around 4900 meters, so that's 16,000 feet give or take. And that's actually significantly below the main base camp for the summit climbers. So there were about 8 to 1000 people, 900 seems to be the number of people that we agree upon, that were stranded. They were initially trapped because the blizzard closed in and obviously it's, they had very very high winds, winds north of 100 kilometers an hour, you know, so winds north of 60 miles an hour and things were just terrible. So they couldn't move. When the storm began to ease on the Sunday, they started working on evacuations. At this point in time, only one person has been, I think, confirmed deceased. However, there were a number of hikers from what I read or climbers from what I read that had severe frostbite injuries and things like that, so that's obviously not good. And essentially what led up to the storm is that, the storm also had a lot of snow. I think about 1 to 3 meters of snow fell with the storm in some of the campsites. And the windblown accumulations were higher with some places seeing upwards of 5 meters of drifting snow accumulation. So the storm basically, this time of year in Mount Everest is typically good weather. You get into the drier season, so it's clear skies, good weather, so you can go up in the mountains and you're pretty safe. But what happened here, let me drop it."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T18:30:50+00:00","id":63531,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63530,"text":" So what happened in this case is that there was a depression over the northwest Bay of Bengal. And this essentially coupled with the site, you also had another tropical system form, Storm Shakti in the Arabian Sea. So these two systems interacted and their interaction essentially funneled a whole bunch of warm, moist air northward into the Himalayas. And of course once this really warm, saturated air hit the mountains, it lifted, it condensed between the mountain slope conditions, and all the dynamic forcing and hydrostatic effects, that sort of stuff. You had a blizzard develop, right? Plain and simply, you had a blizzard develop, right? And that's what happened. So it's sort of unusual to have, it's bad luck in a way since you had these two systems interact at this time of the year. It's not unheard of, it's just where everything culminated was right on Mount Everest or within the vicinity of Mount Everest. So of course all these people trying to climb to the summit or get up to base camp, they were in deep, deep trouble. And of course one of the compounding issues was that the heavy snow would also cut off road access, and there were tents that collapsed and things like that. So it was pretty insane. Some of the people that were in tents had to clean their tents every 90 minutes to prevent them from collapsing. So it was a pretty big deal. By about Monday, October 6th, they had 350 people that had been evacuated to the town of Kudang. And by the 7th of October, the remaining stranded people, about 900 of them had been evacuated. And of course at this point in time, one person was reported dead, and there were like 11 or 12 people that had some severe injuries from frostbite and hypothermia. So there you have it. If you want to go climb Mount Everest, just make sure the weather is in your favor."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T18:31:20+00:00","id":63532,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63531,"text":" Yeah, Victor Alpha 3, Victor with the extra returning.

So there was a tornado reclassification. So there was a large and violent tornado that struck southeast, southeastern North Dakota on the night of June 20th, 2025. And the tornado was on the ground for 19 minutes and it carved a path that was 12 miles long, 19 kilometers, and it reached a peak width of about 1.05 miles, 1.7 kilometers, and it caused significant damage to all sorts of farmsteads. It toppled transmission towers and it killed three people, sadly. Now the National Weather Service in Grand Forks, North Dakota, they initially gave it a rating of an EF3 based on the damage to homes and structures. And an EF3 is sort of in the middle of the scale. The scale goes from 0 to 5. An EF0 starts at about 75 kilometers an hour. So it's around, what is that, in miles an hour. I'm trying to do the math in my head here. Like 47 miles an hour, maybe? Don't quote me on that. Anyhow, it starts from there and it goes all the way up to EF5. And of course this supplemented the old scale, which was the Fujita scale, the original scale. So you had F0 all the way up to F5. So now you put an E in front of it. Anyhow, so what happened was on Monday, October 6th, the NWS, the National Weather Service, they officially upgraded it to an EF5. And that's the highest classification, as I mentioned, on the enhanced Fujita scale. And that brought the maximum wind speed to be over 200 miles an hour. And the reclassified tornado's estimated peak wind speeds were probably about 210 miles an hour or more. That's what they're guessing. So how did they decide that this tornado was more extreme than it was? Well, the key to the reclassification wasn't the damage to the homes, but they actually had an extreme contextual damage indicator. So a lot of tornadoes, they use degrees of damage or damage indicators. And if you look at it, there's actually a white paper and it assigns these damage indicator points to all sorts of different things. So they have truss towers based on their height and thickness and load capacity, illuminary stands or light stands, different types of supporting poles, so basically telephone poles based on their diameter, the type of wood, et cetera. And so there's a lot of engineering work that went into the new EF scale to basically look at what type of forces are required to destroy what type of things. Let me drop it."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T18:38:21+00:00","id":63538,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63537,"text":" And just as a point of clarity here, a lot of people say, oh, you can have a really tornado. It's a, you know, you can say, oh, it looks like this type of a tornado. It looks like an EF-3 or an EF-4. But if that tornado just stays over a field where it's full of grass and dirt and it doesn't hit anything, while if we could measure the wind, the wind speed may line up and say, oh, yeah, it's an EF-3 or an EF-4. But if there's nothing in there to actually get hit, so there's no damage indicators that are coming back, then it'll receive a low rating, right, whatever grass getting shredded will give it, which is probably an EF-1 at most. That's what you'll get stuck with. So you'll have a big violent tornado, but it'll only be given an EF-1 rating because it didn't really cause any damage, right, nothing we could quantify. So that happens every now and then. So for an EF-5 to occur, it sadly, the tornado sadly needs to destroy things, right. We need things that can provide us with the evidence that it was truly an EF-5. So what happened here is there was a fully loaded grain hopper car at a nearby train track. And what happened was these rail cars were actually tossed. And the empty rail cars, to give you an idea, weighed about 72,000 pounds. And some of the cars that were either empty or partially full, so they weighed more, they were thrown some significant distances, with one car in particular being thrown 475 feet. That's about 145 meters from the track. Let me drop it."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T18:42:44+00:00","id":63539,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63538,"text":" So, my buddy Dave Sills with the Northern Tornadoes Project and the Canadian Severe Storms Laboratory, the CSSL, they were actually instrumental in getting the National Weather Service to change the rating on it. So this was a particularly interesting tornado. So they were invited down there to do a damage assessment with the National Weather Service. So they worked hand in hand with experts and researchers. So the Northern Tornadoes Project, they operate out of Western University in Southwestern Ontario, so they're in London, Ontario, two hours just to my southwest. And what they did is they looked at the damage and said, oh, these rail cars are really heavy. And they used some engineering techniques and computer modeling to figure out what type of wind, what would have to happen for these basically grain vehicles to move, especially ones that are fully loaded or half loaded. And as it turns out, all the modeling and all the physics and engineering and math that they did said that it was basically impossible for anything less than an EF5 to move, let alone toss these cars as far as they did. And they used some modeling and supercomputers and a few different things based on radar data. And they came to the conclusion that essentially the winds that were required to do this would have been 210 miles an hour. And they presented their evidence, and the National Weather Service said, hey, you're right. And the tornado was officially upgraded. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven, November Quebec November, all star node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. This is Victor Alpha 3, Victor with the X-ray 4ID. So this upgrade, this actually ends a 12-year drought for EF5 tornadoes with the Enderline tornado. And this is the first officially rated EF5 tornado since the Morroco-Joma tornado that struck on May 20, 2013. And it's also significant because it marks a major milestone where the National Weather Service has used external cutting edge wind engineering research from the Northern Tornadoes Project to reevaluate and basically definitively rate a tornado despite the lack of traditional EF5 damage indicators, like having a factory with a strong metal frame and things like that to work with. Because the truth of it is, what are the odds? Statistically, they're not very good that you're going to get a big tornado hit a building that has a solid steel frame to it. It's just unlikely. And this actually opens up for the potential for future re-ratings, where they can look at existing evidence or archived evidence and see how they might be able to re-examine other tornadoes, in particular ones that have strong ratings, like EF4-type rated tornadoes that cause unusual damage. So they might be looking at those. And this reclassification basically means that the Inderland tornado is now one of the most violent storms on record. That's been given this classification through forensic evidence. And it's essentially proved the existence of winds in the highest speed category for a tornado."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T18:43:26+00:00","id":63540,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63539,"text":" So you're talking about the EF5 tornado recently.

They weigh 72,000 pounds and they were thrown some huge distances, 475 feet, 145 meters and all their forensic research and modeling came to the conclusion that winds of 210 miles an hour were required to do that.

And when it hit Alaska, it brought winds of 107 miles an hour, gusting to 107 miles an hour. And the impacts were sort of similar to what you get with the category 2 hurricane because of those strong winds and the storm surge and whatnot. And the storm surge actually created flooding, so there was flooding both from the ocean, from the storm surge as well as flooding from rainfall. And the areas that were impacted are very, very remote areas. There's no road access that's typically only fly in for these areas. So the worst hit villages were Kipnuk, Quiglingok, and those two places had the most damage. The government is describing it as catastrophic damage. And they're thinking that they will not be able to rebuild 90% of these villages' homes for about 18 months. And so far 121 homes were destroyed, 2000 people are at this point in time displaced.

This did make the news in North America and a few other places. As far as I'm aware I do see it on the news locally here. So yeah that was an interesting one. And part of the attribution, what so there was there was some back and forth over what happened and you know why the storm wasn't forecasted to be the way it was. And there's been other storms. Hurricane Juan hit Eastern Canada. It hit Nova Scotia in particular, Halifax really hard back in the early 2000s. And this storm that was about a Category 2 equivalent and a lot of people out there said well we weren't expecting that because usually a hurricane in Atlantic Canada is very different than a hurricane you know in the tropics or in Florida wherever. And that's because the dynamics change for the system. And sometimes when you have these large tropical systems quickly transitioning into extra tropical systems. So more akin to what you'd get with a nor'easter mid-latitude cyclone etc. When they transition you can sometimes have a pocket of really really strong wind surging north on one side as everything gets rebalanced. And that's what essentially looks like happened with the remnants of Typhoon Halong. That was very difficult to forecast. Some people are also blaming the US military because there were a couple weather satellites that forecasters no longer granted access to for their meteorological data. But as far as I could tell I mean the models handle it fairly well. I just think it's a case of in my personal opinion I think people were expecting a bad storm but they weren't expecting it to be as bad as it was simply because the forecast called for a very bad storm. And I don't think people necessarily read into the forecast as deeply as they should have. You know they weren't as concerned. We've seen storms like this before so that may have been a complicating factor but that's not written in stone. That's just my take on the situation from what I've read.

So that was one of the big storms out there. Let me get rid of these notes that I have before I confuse myself with what's going on. In other news, a number of people in the southeast US, they woke up to some noctilucent clouds in the sky and NLCs. Those clouds are typically between 60 and 90 kilometers above the surface of the earth. They're usually around 80-85 kilometers when we've measured their altitude and people were saying, oh what's going on with these clouds? Georgia where some of the images were seen or taken that I saw, that's pretty far south. You don't often see noctilucent clouds down there, but what it actually was was a Falcon 9 SpaceX launch. So that was rocket exhaust and dews noctilucent clouds. At this point in time noctilucent clouds are widely believed to be ice clouds, so they're derivative of water vapor. Of course one of the byproducts with chemical rockets as we see them is water vapor. So you're pumping a fair bit of water vapor into the mesosphere, so one of the upper regions of the atmosphere. It'll sit there for a while and slowly fan out and because light from the Sun reaches those high altitudes first, the clouds glow hence why they're called noctilucent clouds. So everything else will be dark, whereas the clouds will glow blue or red or whatever color as the sun's rising higher in the atmosphere before it gets down to lower levels. You get these clouds that appear to glow at night with a black sky otherwise.

So what happened is basically there was this convergence in an unlucky way of multiple different weather things. So the remnants, so we had the remnants of Hurricane Priscilla and Tropical Storm Raymond. And they occurred in the Northwest Pacific in early October. And the remnants of this converged with Tropical Disturbance 90E, which was basically a stationary moisture front in eastern Mexico. And as a result of that, this mess of rain essentially stalled. And there was a multi-day rainfall event where some places like Veracruz between October 6th and 9th, they saw 530 millimeters of rain. And that's over 21 inches of rainfall over the span of 4 days. And these areas, the soil isn't good for absorbing rain. The hillsides were saturated, so you had devastating flooding and landslides. Mainly in the Sierra Madre, Oriental, and the Huastec regions. But Veracruz, which is on the Gulf Coast, Hidalgo, and Puebla, they had the vast majority of the casualties.

Right now the Mexican government believes that about a thousand kilometers of roads and bridges have been lost and there's about 190 rural communities which have no communication service whatsoever. They've been completely cut off and the property damage estimates I've been seeing around a hundred thousand homes have been damaged or destroyed and at least 320,000 customers don't have power so it's huge. So it's been really bad and there's been other problems too right compounding issues so in cities like Poza Rica which is a major oil hub the flooding created a secondary issue where you had water mixed with these oil deposits and that was creating a disaster with with cleanup. There's just complicating things and of course that also pose significant public health risks right because you're contaminating the entire water system and and even now landslides are still a possibility because of slope instability there's been a lot of instability introduced to a number of the hillside there so it's a big problem that's what's been going on there and I unfortunately I didn't see too too much of this in the news but it's a big issue for this part of Mexico."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T19:00:46+00:00","id":63561,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63560,"text":" And similarly a Spanish-speaking country but a different one Spain.

So Delta alpha November alpha. And what it is is basically it's a it's an upper level low so you you have an isolated depression that forms at the higher levels in the troposphere. And when this depression right this this closed low moves over warmer waters particularly the waters in the Mediterranean which are very very warm at this time of the year. You have thunderstorms because this air mass is convectively unstable because it gets broken off from the broader jet stream it's moving very slowly in fact it could be associated with a blocking pattern right just sort of if you have a block of some sort this thing will sit on the edge of the block because it's removed from the jet stream contributing to the blocking pattern even though it's not a high-pressure zone. And when it sits over the Mediterranean it'll draw in moisture because it's spinning counterclockwise you'll draw in moisture over parts of Spain and they will just get continuous thunderstorms and rainfall until this thing moves off so you get immense flooding.

And of course the hills amplify the destructive forces with the runoff, right? You're letting the water get even more velocity.

Okay last thing I promise. NEPA 25. This is basically a North Pacific marine heat wave. The World Meteorological Organization they've dubbed it NEPA 25 November Echo Papa 25 Alpha so NEPA 25 Alpha and it's basically people just call it the blob. Essentially what it is is that there's an area of approximately 8 million square kilometers of water in the North Pacific that's basically the size of the continental US and it's it's about half a degree to two degrees of pinwheel where you're measuring it above average and it was initially believed to be the fourth largest marine heat wave in the Northwest Pacific since monitoring began back in 82 but there's some new data from Copernicus that has yet to be validated but it likely will be validated that will actually bring it to the number one position so it'll actually be the biggest warmest that we've had. Regardless because it's such a long duration and intense heat wave it has been smashing records starting in August 2025 and the scientists are basically trying to figure out the mechanism and cause of this. There are a number of things that do work hand-in-hand. There's been a lot of high pressure systems so ridges of high pressure and they work hand-in-hand to help heat these waters because they create sort of an atmospheric lid right you have sinking air the air that sinks it heats up warms compression and this heat energy gets translated into the water the water absorbs it. Weak winds so you have less mixing so it takes longer for the water to you know have that heat removed and then because of this lack of wind you have heat accumulation essentially right you also have a lot of thermal input the ridges tend to not necessarily be cloud free but there's far less clouds than there would be otherwise so you have far more thermal input through through light whether it's infrared or visible light or whatever it's rays coming in off the Sun whatever they may be getting water and helping to heat it further let me drop it"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T19:06:17+00:00","id":63565,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63564,"text":" And to give you an idea of the size of this anomaly, basically spans the entire North Pacific basin, stretching nearly 8,000 kilometers from Japan to the west coast of North America.

And scientists are basically, they believe at this point in time that this is a direct result of anthropogenic climate change. That's what it seems to, the consensus seems to be there's like a 90%, they believe that 90% of this is being induced by anthropogenic climate change. Again, they're still working on the exact factors that are leading to this. Since that area is a bit of a data hole, so the best we have to use is satellite data, which isn't always the greatest. It's nice to have boys everywhere, but of course, that's a big dead zone, so we don't have boys everywhere. The marine impacts, they're a little concerning.

And you can have the mass die off as a result of this with seabirds and sea lions. You know, once your top predators start to die it creates all sorts of problems for other parts of it. You also have species migration. Former water species like marlin, they'll move north and that can interfere with established ecosystems and of course it introduces competition for resources. The big one is algal blooms. You can have harmful algal blooms which basically eludes the toxicity and it will kill everything. Fish, other microbes, it's a huge problem. And the impact that we're seeing from this, the immediate impact, is the warm October weather that's been dominating parts of North America, in particular the eastern half of North America.

So for those that said sea ice, you're wrong. Sea ice maxes out at about 910 kilograms per meter cubed. Freshwater ice has a peak density of around 917 kilograms per meter cubed. So a meter is about a, a meter is a thousand liters of sea ice. So with liquid water you'll get about, it's about one kilogram of, one liter is one kilogram, so with ice it's a little less. So you should have a metric ton with one cubic meter of ice but you don't, you actually have 917 kilograms if it's freshwater and a peak of 910 kilograms if it's seawater. As ice freezes it expels the salt crystals that you get in seawater. But what happens is as our Australian friend mentioned, the peak density for water is at about 4 degrees Celsius. That's where it's almost a one to one ratio. Once you go below the, or it is a one to one ratio, once you start cooling it below 4 degrees Celsius it began, it begins to expand even though it hasn't frozen. And sea, sea ice or sea water typically has a, it depends on the salinity of, the salinity of the water but essentially it'll cool below the typical freezing point of zero degrees Celsius, 32 degrees Fahrenheit. So it may cool at you know minus 4 Celsius or cooler depending on the salinity and the composition and because of this there's more expansion before it turns to ice and there's displacement of salt so as you push out the salt you lose volumetric density. So sea ice is lighter and less dense than fresh water ice. And there you have it, now you guys know.

Just a couple of trivia things here I thought you might find interesting for this evening. And it has to do with a dark energy. This is just a theory, but it has to do with dark energy. And there's a thing in quantum mechanics that's called the zero effect. And this is basically that states that if an unstable object is observed with any regularity, it will never decay. So therefore if dark energy is continuously observed, it's being kept in a stable state. And that's actually reducing the universal lifespan by forcing it back to when it was a false factor. So the anal state. That's actually part of the principle that's referred to as the Anthropic Universe, which basically describes that the characteristics of the universe are created because it's being observed. So if you have an observer there, or any measurable means of determining some event in the universe, that is actually forming the characteristics of the universe. So think of it this way, every time you look up in the night sky, you're observing, you're also changing the characteristics of the universe, that's the Anthropic Universe."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T19:28:21+00:00","id":63618,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63617,"text":" And I mentioned the false vacuum, two types of vacuum states of the universe. One is a false vacuum and the other is the vacuum state. And the vacuum state is the lowest possible energy level for the universe. Particles that may be succeeding, like the electromagnetic waves, virtual particles popping in and out because there are quantum fields there. And the false vacuum is basically where we are right now. You can think of us in this energy state in the universe where we're sort of precariously unstable, but we haven't become unstable yet. And if something were to come along and give us some jitter that adds a little bit more energy to our state, we would then enter into a vacuum state. And once we hit the vacuum state, the energy level universally expands to the point where the universe would basically erase itself. And all the laws of physics that we have now wouldn't exist and some of the universe would start to form.

It's where the universe itself is a projection from a 2D, a two-dimensional surface, much the same as the holographic images formed where you have a reference pattern and observe an object pattern and the two interfere, and it gives them an interference pattern where the conversion and interference patterns emerge together into a sense of dimensionality, same sort of thing in the holographic universe.

And this long-term exposure may have influenced how our early brains evolved, and maybe hindering language and social development in all but modern humans.

And they might have been looking for caves with running water inside, and caves. Caves contained lead, so they were all contaminated. Lead is coming, leaching down through the walls from above, and they start drinking this, and they become contaminated. This is based on two enamel studies, and it started very early in infancy.

Or I'll just refer to this as NOVA1, as I go on with this. It has a major role in brain formation and synaptic development. And it's a key regulator in neurodevelopment.

So people with certain FOXP2 mutations, they struggled to form complex words and sentences. So these neurons are related to complex language and are susceptible to death in archaic versions of NOVA1.

And scientists speculate that lead exposure may have contributed to the extinction of Neanderthals around 40,000 years ago, but because of this variant we had in this gene, it allowed us to survive and to evolve. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven November. What's interesting here too is because we have language, we can organize ourselves in society, exchange ideas, and this allows us to coordinate large movements of society. And there's no evidence in the Neanderthals to do that. They might have had abstract thinking, but they couldn't translate that to each other.

And I'll thank everyone for coming in here tonight, so I kind of wrapped things up. And it's been Science and TechNet. It's here each Saturday, 9 p.m. zero, $100 GMT. And I always like to thank the owner of the computer, whether they're actually listening or not, I always like to show my appreciation for all that's going on here and those that are getting it through other means here each week as well. And the coordination of the station nights has been being tweaked. Again, thanks everyone for coming in.

I don't know where they are. We couldn't find them, and so now they have to be rewritten. But because I've written stuff that comes after them, now they're going to be different. This is making me absolutely crazy. And to add to my misery, my writing partner, that would be KM7ALY to you all, Rob, has a hold of one of my characters. And he wrote a beautiful piece of dialogue for said character. I hope he can email it to me. Anyway, if anybody else wants to join this fray, you can let me know by email. I'm good on the QRZ page. And I'll send you the canon and some of the rest of this story, and you can have fun with it. We can all dabble in it together. Maybe eventually something will emerge from it that looks like a book.

Well, Anne, you're really just putting this thing together as a group project. You're getting contributions from other radio amateurs. That's a great idea.

Peter, come ahead. Anne, good evening, everybody. I know we've been having really good luck. We only got rained out one day so far this year, but we're getting into the winter. And it was at 7 o'clock. It was about 48 degrees, which is about the coldest it's been. And our swap meets started at 8, and it was chilly and windy and everybody's bundled up. 10 o'clock, we were at shirtsleeves and shorts, and the sun was beating down. We don't have a big swap meet, but it was pretty good, and we had a little barbecue and such. So, you know, a lot of ham talking going on. ... You know, we need the rain, but it's nice when it rains at night when we're asleep. Back to you, KA6RAX. Well, Peter, were it only so easy to just wish for rain at night? We're doing that up here, but most years we don't come anywhere close to making it. And today was, how cold it was today, but it was, yeah, it was 50 most of the day. It's probably 48 right now. Yep, it's cold. We're all going to die.

And of course I had made her wear a raincoat because I didn't want people saying that she looked funny. So to keep her pride, I made her wear a raincoat. She wasn't happy about that.

And I found out that one of the reasons the battery went dead is that Trump doesn't close all the way because the whole back end is crushed in. So I had to find the wires for the light for the trunk and cut the wires. I'm soldering them and taping them right now so they're separate. So now the battery won't go dead anymore. The whole back end of the car is gone. So they're probably going to total it. It's still drivable, but the whole back end is gone. Stupid drunk people should not be driving. I was rear-ended and I was sitting in the left-hand lane and totaled the car. Thanks for doing the net. This is KK6ULC, Mike in beautiful Noodles Marina. That's all I got for now. Thank you. Thank you very much. Very good, Mike. Yeah, those cars do crush. I got rear-ended about, oh gosh, 30 years ago. I remember the Battery Street Tunnel, if any of you Northwesterners remember that. That wonderful spot. October, all the oils on the road. First rain, somebody spins out in front of me in the tunnel at that first tight turn. Get rear-ended by a truck. And the whole back end of the car got completely squished. But it was a Toyota Camry and I didn't get, actually I didn't get squished at all. It was a little shaken up. Not fun. Well, but it sounds like you're doing good work on that car, keeping the battery alive. All right, let's go to, where are we now on my list? Let's go talk to Elaine in beautiful, also warm.

New tonight on the baby, she's doing really well. Little Diamond, she's asleep on my walker right now, and Jasper's under my walker, the pug is under my walker asleep, and everybody else is where they want to be, including my brother in his bed. And we have to get up at 8 a.m. or no, 7 a.m. He's got to be at church for rehearsal at 830, then the service is at 10. So, and I go with him since I ride with him, but I don't mind, I like listening to the band and the music and everything before the service starts. And then we go out for lunch afterwards, there's usually about 8 to 10 of us, so that makes a nice group. Anyway, the news this week, let me take a short break. The news this week is on Wednesday, the people are going to come and put my new generator in, and say, new, I haven't had one before, but they're doing, we live in Florida, and with the hurricane season, we've been very fortunate, which years so far, we can just get through until December 1st, we'll have it made. But at least I'll be ready for anything we have next year, or even if any electric goes out for any reason at all, it'll come right back on with a generator, and it'll be fueled by cocaine, and it's a big investment, but I think it's going to be really worth it. If I use it one time, that'll be good, because with all the animals here, and myself, I don't want to be caught with no electricity, no cool air, and in the wintertime, whatever happens, no heat, but with all the animals in my lung condition, you know, I worry about that, so I'm glad that I decided to go ahead and get this generator in. So hopefully that'll be done on Wednesday, and then the cocaine company has to come and put their lines out after, so I'm not sure exactly when the whole project will be done, but it will be, and that's really about it. Nothing else is going on. Having a good day, good time with my brother here, and that's all the news I have. So 73s, 88s to all, thanks a lot for doing the net, Bill. We'll talk to you again. And 301, back to you. And 301, okay, 7WFT Elaine, thank you for that thorough report, where all the, well not all, where the new kitten is sleeping, and Jasper, sounds very peaceful. You just described very peaceful surroundings tomorrow morning, build us a rehearsal before church, go to church, go to lunch, nice life you have there, and very wise of you to get ahead of the curve and get that generator. I have a good friend in Boca Raton, and he's always checking up on the generator. You guys need that power? Because you'll die without it if it's warm down there. You really need it.

That's the way they marked the territory, but I don't think they did very good because all these squirrels came around anyway. So he just spent a lot of time making a racket and got ignored. So they were running on the patio, grabbing nuts and peanuts and everybody was happy out there. Yeah, just so sunny here today and about, I don't know, about 70 degrees here. And a very nice day. And I got a weather thing on my laptop that's kind of like a screensaver. It's from Cairo 7. It's called Pinpoint Weather and it has different screens of the different weather in Seattle and rain patterns and rain, you know, seven day forecast and stuff. So it's kind of neat.

I kind of stake lead to that stuff through the winter. Cause my top priority every day is to get my walk in. And in the winter, I got it. My second priority is not get wet. Sometimes difficult.

I was there for an hour and a half. Weather was pretty good. It started raining a little bit just after 3 o'clock when it was ending. But there was a woman sitting there that was looking kind of cold and we chatted for a while. She wasn't really dressed very warmly and I said, would you like some coffee? And she said sure. So I went across the street to the whatever it was gas station across the street and I went in there back to the coffee. And they were totally out of coffee and I thought, oh gosh I can't go back empty handed. So I found a cold coffee drink in the cooler there and it looked like it would be the right kind of... She wanted something with cream and sugar. So I found something that looked like it would fill the bill and I put it in a coffee cup and warmed it up in the microwave. Which I know you're not supposed to heat up plastic things in the microwave but I was very careful. I did it in steps so I didn't overdo. I put in a little bit more cream, a little bit more sugar and that worked out really well. So it didn't disappoint anybody and they did have hot chocolate. So I had big hot chocolate for myself which was my routine drink. Anyway, well it's a little bit rainy out tonight but not bad.

But this is from another garden and she's got too many grapes and too many apples. I've got a bag of apples so I'm going to try and figure out something to do too. Probably an apple butter for the simplest. So no, it's not an annual tradition. I'm looking to find the balance between fun and value. Time spent. This time of year as a tourism professional, my work professional paid off site. What they call off farm labor in the statistics is cutting down a lot. So I'm trying to do something valuable with my time that we can enjoy for the weeks and months coming forward. So I hope that answers that question.

You know, I didn't have a whole lot to say earlier, but as the net has gone on I've been thinking about a few things. So one of the things that's really ironic, so Jim was just talking and I'm looking forward to seeing him at the Rain or Shine next week. So he's this big Gonzaga fan. He gives his Zag reports and things like that when the Bulldogs are playing. And it's just ironic that he comes over here and lives in the Seattle area during the winter when all of the basketball is going on over in Spokane. So it's just one of those interesting ironies of life. But the reason I want to check in is, you know, I said that, oh, I didn't really do a whole lot today, but I actually did something fairly consequential. For a while I've been considering switching my Internet service. I've had Xfinity for years. Basically I've had, it was AT&T and then it was something else, and then it was Comcast, and then it was Xfinity. And Xfinity has played a few games with me over the years. I've been meaning to just get away with them. I don't mean to bash a huge corporation on the Net or anything like that, but I've been looking at this T-Mobile package for a long time. They've got this 55 plus thing if you bundle it with Internet, your phone with Internet. You can get all these perks like you can get Apple TV and Netflix, and you can get the free Wi-Fi when you're on an airplane, and you're up in Canada and all this stuff. So I keep meaning to go to the T-Mobile store. But today I was at Costco, and they have the Costco T-Mobile kiosk. And I walked up there, and within like 15 minutes I was all set up. So if you're thinking of switching over to T-Mobile, if you go to Costco it's really easy. My phone was suddenly a T-Mobile phone. Anyway, sorry if this sounded like an advertisement, but I'm liberated from Comcast. I'm now with T-Mobile. And I mean, I know none of them are perfect. They all have their own issues. Anyway, KG7ODD, back to that. Now Dean, I have a question for you. You had Xfinity cell service at some point. I didn't know that existed."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T21:56:56+00:00","id":63768,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":63767,"text":" Yes, so Xfinity, formerly Comcast, they have a cell phone service. And I've had that for about five years. And what I did originally was I went with this thing where you would get your \u2013 it was really cheap at first. And you would get data by the gigabyte. It would be like $12 per gigabyte. And for a long time I really wasn't using much data, but I just kept finding myself going over the cap, especially if I went on a trip or something like that. But basically what Xfinity does, they don't have their own network. They piggyback with Verizon. And Verizon is a perfectly fine carrier. But one of the problems with it is when I go visit my sister down near Portland, she lives on this big hill on the Washington side. It's Camas, Washington. And the only thing that works up there is T-Mobile. So that's one reason why I got T-Mobile. But anyway, to answer your question, yes, you can get cell service from Xfinity, but it just seemed like the time was right to make that the clean break. KG70DB. KG70DB, K7WSP. Well that's interesting. I just never knew about that they had service. Actually, I've been a T-Mobile subscriber on that 55 plus plan. You mentioned, gosh, for a long time, because I'm well past 55 plus. And I really thought the service was very good. What I particularly liked is that it works really well when you're traveling internationally. They've got pretty good service pretty much everywhere. I'm trying to think how it works. You get some data. You get some like 5GB of roaming data and free text and like 10 cents a minute phone calls, I think, something like that. And as soon as your plane lands and you get out of airplane mode, a little text message pops up and they say, welcome to Timbuktu. You have mobile service now. I really like that feature of it. Anyway, I'm sounding like an add to now though. Let's see, we talked to Dean. We had an I.O. from KK72ES, Justin. I wonder if there's anybody else still hanging around who wants to say hello. This is K7WSP. And this is the Puget Sound Repeater Group 9 p.m. Social Net. We're somewhere in round three, I think. We answered it somewhere.

I'll make it quick. I just got an order, so I'll be heading out in just a minute. But I wanted to make a quick comment. I heard Dean talking about different cell providers and Xfinity. I have been on Xfinity for a number of years on my primary phone. And on my work phone, I'm on Boost Mobile, which I find I've been hitting the high-speed cap regularly with the maps that I use and the Uber and DoorDash apps and stuff like that. It just keeps hitting the cap, even at 30 gigabytes a month. They keep hitting me with the extra, because they tell you you have unlimited. But the speed that they cap, the speed that they reduce it to is pretty much unusable for anything that uses data. And maps and stuff like that are okay, but they're kind of delayed and stuff. So I always have to spend 10 bucks per 10 gigabytes. And I've been looking into other options. I found a company called Visible, who seems to have true unlimited high-speed. So no slowdowns. Well, they've got three tiers of the speed level, basically. So if you get the highest one, that's good enough to stream 4K HD video, and that will never cap. And you can also use it as a hotspot. And the prices are pretty good. They take you back on Verizon as well. So that's something to think about. But it was like 35 bucks a month for the highest tier, and they've got some good deals going on now for some discounts. But anyway, just wanted to throw that out there. This is what I'm looking at right now. I'm doing a trial, and it seems to be pretty good service everywhere I go. But back to that, KB7 SDM. Yeah, Ryan, well, you've really got to have the right stuff, because it's a professional requirement for your job to get those maps in there. So yeah, good for you, Visible. I've never heard of it. 35 bucks a month for unlimited high bandwidth, that's a good deal. Very good. All right, let's go back and see what Sean is up to, KJ7EXM.

But I also can't read my track phone cards so I'm thinking of switching back over to the thing with the T. So I guess we'll see what happens. But otherwise, yeah, when it comes to small print and you can't read it yet it just gets kind of weird. But hey, I still do what I can anyway because, you know, get me motivated, entertained, on my toes. And yeah, now I've got to find out which chord can go to a Surface Go 2 to the TV so that I can actually see its screen. I don't know which card. I don't feel an HDMI port but there is something similar that's smaller. Same shape though. So I'm thinking it's a miniature one. So I'm going to have to figure that out now because I can't use the other beast as it has tin on it and so I'm having fun with that trying to get updated. It won't. Something is missing I guess. Other than that, hey, I'm having it kind of wild all day today. But you know what, I have all of you. I'm entertained because, you know, you're all such good folks so there you go. And yeah, keep me teared up on my diet. I am still working on it. Hopefully at the end of this month maybe I can get something done about that right knee. KJ7, EXM, back to next. Well you work on that because yeah, you want that knee in good shape. So I guess they can do it because you can use that knee better. Well very good. Oh by the way, I think that thing that looks like HDMI same shape but smaller, I've seen those on the newer Raspberry Pis like the Raspberry Pi 4 and 5. And I think it's called a micro HDMI or mini, one or the other. Somebody will correct me who's out there if we have a little more net. Something like that. You'll find it. Let's see, we had an I.O. from Lloyd, AG7CX. And that gets us through the round. So let's see if there is anybody still hanging in there. This is the 9 p.m. PSRG Social Lab. My name is Bill, K7WSB.

After my very, my first check-in was kind of lackluster, but anyway. So Day Tripper, I hate to tell you this, but Day Tripper came out almost 60 years ago. It was the end of 1965. Day Tripper came out. It was what they called a double A-side single. It was like on each side there's a song. The other song was We Can Work It Out. But yeah, it's always great to hear John talking about his learning to play guitar. Actually not just learning, just playing guitar because it sounds like he's really making a lot of progress. Day Tripper is a really fun song to play. There's a really great version of Day Tripper. Of course the Beatles version is incredible, but if you want to hear a Day Tripper on steroids, look for Jimi Hendrix doing Day Tripper. He did it on, so in England they used to make artists play live on the BBC. Instead of just playing the records, they'd actually have to go in and play songs. So whether it be the Beatles or the Stones or Jimi Hendrix, they would go in and Jimi Hendrix would play Purple Haze, Foxy Lady and Fire. But he'd also play these other songs. One of the songs was Day Tripper. It's just a really high octave version of the song. Something related to 50 years ago. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec November. This is the back recently. So when you think of the beginning of the pandemic, it kind of seems like yesterday, not too long ago. But if the Beatles had appeared on the Ed Sullivan show, which is where they really started in America, if that was the beginning of the pandemic, the album Abbey Road, their final recorded work, would have come out a month ago. So that's how much time within five and a half years or so, six and a half years, they put out so much music. Nowadays, bands will put out an album every five years. Radiohead hasn't put out an album in nine years. But the Beatles, they put out an album every six months. It's just crazy. So anyway, I just thought I'd bring that up. A KG7 ODB, back to that. KG7 ODB, K7 WSB. Yeah, well, thanks for bringing the dates up there. That is interesting. I remember hearing Daytimer in 1965. And I remember, I think it was like you said, in 1970, I think I was driving down the street in Pasadena when I heard that the Beatles were breaking up. And I was shocked. It was just amazing. But they're wonderful, wonderful songs. I'm not much of a musician, but I know a little bit and can read music a little bit. I don't play the piano, but some years ago, my nephew gave me a Beatles' fake book. And so I'd sit at the piano and try and play those chords, just trying to figure out those chords, not playing well, just trying to understand the music. And even to my very untrained ear, the chord progressions are just so cool. It's such interesting music. Very good. Well, thank you, Dean. Thanks for contributing that.

I don't know how much people run on 40 and 80 typically in Canada because if I base it on my friends, we ain't trying to do that. We use what's in the radios. Just, you know, I don't think anyone here is trying to spend like 50 grand on it. So, and then sometimes, like you can get expensive radios that have like maybe 400 watts. So you find guys running around with the Yezu 1000 MP, things like that with the built-in 400 watts. That might be like Canada style, right? But I don't know.

But you don't wanna know what's really, and that'd be a good question for the group. You know, the magnetic poles are so weak right now, and that is really affecting the propagation in the radio bands.

You know, and now you hardly hear anything. It's like either they're not there or it's because of the magnetic poles being so weak. Because they're saying that the magnetic poles could swap.

It would be, loco talk would be like Toronto to DC, right? To Ottawa, to even, maybe even in some aspects where you're at, right? And 75 and 80 is kind of like that too, right? Loco talk, seems like a big joke. Loco talk on 75 and 80 would be like maybe Montreal to New Jersey, for real. So now those kind of stations and propagations, you should mostly get all the time. It's just a matter of the interference, right? If it was, if the interference is not as bad, you should be able to do most of that 100 watts.

It's for the traffic copters and other people that use it, but when you used to get those, and they're hidden now, you can't do it anymore, but you used to be able to get like the input frequency of let's say any station of your, well, they did it a lot in California, so there it was like KFI or KRLA, any of those things, you could like get on the air and they wouldn't even know how you're there.

They were saying that this electrical noise, whatever it is, is causing people to walk into the subway car park. Have you heard that? This is repeated? No! Like, disintentionally? No, I've never heard of that. I mean, there's other things going on that's disturbing and terrible, which is, there's just a lot of unruliness on subways. And on subways and streetcars, people push each other off of the platforms, and they all go to the back part of the car, so they can be as loud as possible and cause a lot of grief for people up front who are there to get away from them. So, I really don't like streetcars and subways. Our last really big bout kind of scared me, because I was with my dad, and he takes the subway, and I never go anyplace with him now because of it. Now it's like, you know how to get to where you're going, I'll meet you there. That's it. You go first. And that's our arrangement now.

The touch screen works, the fingerprint reader works, everything just worked out of the box. The camera, everything. And it all worked first boot.

I use a different desktop, but it's because I like to really play around and play with things. But no, it's LinuxMint.com. If you click on just a download link on their front page it'll give you the Cinnamon Edition. Which is where I would recommend you start.

Well, you see, I've already, I did my SEOs for both my blog, my about, and my contact page. And then I do SEOs on my title and on the article itself for each individual post, right? And already I'm getting, Google search and all of them are finding me fairly quickly, which that's what was my problem when I was under Blogger. Blogger is way too old for that kind of crap and they never kept up with the system. But anyways, I'm already seeing that there is about a 60-40 split on who's looking at my websites worldwide. So, and that's 60% phone and 40% actual computer. So, I found that very interesting. So, when you go look at the phone on this, it has like on Blogger, it has the introduction of my quote. And it goes straight to the stories and each story, the photos at the very top. And then it gives the catalog of what it is. And then it goes to the title and then to the story. And as soon as you get done with that story, the next picture comes up, same thing. And you can, you can't move it. There's not two different, it's not like on the web page where I got the main story on one page and then I can give you a font that's larger. On the phone, it's totally different. It gives you one font, one picture and you just keep scrolling down all the way. So, I thought that, I'm kind of leaning more towards what it looks like on a phone than on the computer because 60% of the people are accessing this website are accessing it by phone, mobile. Does that make sense to you? Oh, big time. I totally get that. You know, I, most people are more and more going to mobile devices. I just, I'm a stubborn old fart. I do as little mobile browsing as possible. You know, like when I get my site done, I also get, I have a gopher server on it. Because gopher is still alive. And I like gopher. Gopher is just plain text, forwards, backwards, search what you want. I think the web is, I don't know, a little out of control for what it was designed for. And everybody keeps trying to squish more and more into it. And the more you squish into it, the more they break stuff and the more insecure it becomes.

But you know that the United States government needs my extra $35 on top of the 12% for federal and the so much percent for state, and then all the property taxes, sales taxes. It really runs right around 50%, 55% when it's all said and done. Yeah, we're not far behind you. Our income tax for me has stayed, because of my tax bracket, pretty steady, right around 30%, 35%, something like that. But that's combined federal and provincial. Depending where you are, there's sales tax provincially. There's a goods and service tax that's federal. And yeah, we're not far behind. We add all the taxes up. We're pushing real close to 50% too. It's kind of sad. The worst thing I see is the goods and services tax. If I buy a car and I pay the tax on it, great, it's done. Well, if I sell that car, the next guy has to pay the goods and services tax based on the price he paid, and so on down the line, no matter how many times it gets sold. As long as it's still considered a value, if it's not being sold to a scrapyard, you have to pay the goods and services tax on it.

So our governor decided to go ahead and put the tax on there. But it's not a tax. Because if you keep all your fuel receipts, at the end of the year, you can turn that in.
