Jack I love it when you call for locally and internationally connected operators. It makes it sound like some of us are you know running like quote unquote import export businesses of dubious provenance. And it reminds me of one of the most powerful concepts in the Polish language which is the word zawadzic. Which means to take care of, to arrange. And quite often it has somewhat sinister undertones like oh we'll arrange him, we'll arrange him real good. So there we go. Jack you know if you were to ask me up until yesterday what the most useful tool in my work van is, without hesitation I would reach in my pocket and I'd produce a pen, a simple ballpoint pen. The most useful tool in this work van. But yesterday I had a loaner vehicle, side bar that for a minute. And somebody had left a pencil there, like a proper pen. You know like not like a mechanical, nothing against mechanical pencils. They have their uses. But this was you know a good old fashioned, you know kind of like a Dixon Ticonderoga number 2. Except it wasn't exactly a Dixon Ticonderoga number 2. But same thing and I started using that to take notes on my field sheets and cross items off and annotate. And I was like this feels good. So today I've been using a pencil and I think you know the pencil might supplant the pen as the most useful tool in this work van. I think I'm going to have to go to like a Goodwill or oh maybe I'll stop by U-Dub Surplus since PSA, today being Tuesday right? Today's Tuesday. Yeah U-Dub Surplus is open and I have to, maybe I'll buy one of those desk and or wall mount pencil sharpeners to install in this van. I think that would be a hoot. Anyway yesterday the van was in for preventative maintenance, oil change, a couple of other odds and ends. So I had a loaner vehicle and I had the Toyota VZ4 which is basically like you know the RAV4 crossover except it's all electric and that was a sweet ride. I had so much fun driving that thing. And regenerative braking, holy cats. How awesome is that? It had almost one pedal driving. It has like this normal mode and then it has like regenerative braking boost mode. And then you can really feel the regen kicking in. It was pretty cool. Anyway I had a lot of fun driving that thing. Hopefully I had it booked out for the week in case they needed to keep the van longer and I was kind of toying with the idea of on one of the days driving the Bolt. We have a Bolt at our disposal which would have been absolutely useless for carrying any equipment but I just really want to drive one. Anyway that's the report of my shenanigans yesterday and today.

Start off with the phases of the moon. We had a last quarter moon on, let's see, we had a full moon back on the 6th, last quarter moon was on the 13th. We've got a new moon today. We've got a quarter moon coming up on the 29th. So, for this week, between now and the end of the month, keep an eye out on the moon and take a look as it's in its early phases. It's always interesting to take a look at these early phases, especially with binoculars or telescopes and look along what they call the terminator. The sun shines and the shadow on the moon's edge there. You can actually see the moon's early phases. The peaks of mountains that are lit up by the sun that are well within the shadow and vice versa. You can see dark valleys in the sunshine where the sun is casting shadows up. So that is not, it looks like a line to us, but if you look at it with binoculars or a telescope, you'll see that it is very jagged indeed and exactly quite interesting to look along that terminator. And a challenge to see if you can see a very thin sliver of a moon tomorrow or the following evening. Always interesting to see those slivers of a moon. Just a little thumbnail over towards the moon. It was at Apogee, its closest approach to the Earth this month. On the 8th, it was 223,581 miles from Earth. The moon will be at Apogee, its farthest point away from the Earth this month. On the 23rd, it will be 252,553 miles from Earth."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-21T18:30:49+00:00","id":66074,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":66073,"text":" Planetary highlights for October. October is longer than October across Saturn, while Io and Europa tango together across Jupiter three times. Mercury and Mars make a brief evening appearance and Venus dominates the morning sky. Plus, the fine Orionid meteor shower occurs during the dark of the moon. Excerpt is from Astronomy Magazine, October 25, page 28. The Orionids peaked earlier this morning. And we're going to talk a little bit about that as well. We've got two comets passing by Earth as well. So, during the dark of the moon, so to speak, that's the new moon period. When the moon is setting very, very early in the evening, soon after sunset. So, gives you, the whole moon is dark. So, it gives you a better, much better chance of looking at the night skies for sure. Continuing on with the planet Mercury. We'll be at its greatest eastern elongation, about 24 degrees east of the sun on the 29th, which will mean it is as high as it's going to get in the western sky soon after sunset. Mercury is now setting about 7 p.m. to get out there fairly early to catch Mercury. Mercury was visible about 30 minutes after sunset just above the west horizon.

Speaking of which, the magnitude scale is an inverse logarithmic scale, meaning as the magnitudes increase, the apparent brightness of an object decreases by a factor of 2.5. The dimmest object that a human eye can see is about a magnitude 5 object than a magnitude 6 object. Or a magnitude 7 object is 2 and 1 half times dimmer than a magnitude 6 object. And you will definitely need a binoculars or a telescope to see anything greater than 6 magnitude. For those of you who live in cities or very near them, about the best you're going to do with the naked eye is about fourth magnitude. So here in Denver, you can see it. A lot of those dim stars are totally washed out by all of the city lights. So you'll definitely have to get out into the country to spot anything dimmer than that. But as always, definitely point your binoculars toward those objects that you can see, those planets and the moon and the stars. And scan your Milky Way or point your telescope up there. And take a look at those objects as well. See the details for you. Continuing on with Venus. Venus is rising about 541 AM this week. Look for Venus to the east by now before sunrise. Venus moves from the constellation of Leo into Virgo, shining at magnitude minus 3.9 on the 15th. We've got Mars. Mars is setting about 710 PM this week. Look for Mars low to the west in the evening, about 30 minutes after sunset as well. Mars moves from the constellation of Virgo into Libra, shining at magnitude 1.5. And actually, Mercury is shining brighter than Mars. They're both very, very low to the western horizon. So you may be able to definitely get your binoculars out there and see if you can spot both of those planets. Actually, they're fairly close together right now. They're almost in conjunction back on the 19th. So if you can find one, you may be able to find the other.

You'll definitely have to wait until after midnight to spot Jupiter. Jupiter is a constellation of Gemini shining at magnitude minus 2.2. Then we've got Saturn.

Uranus is in the constellation of Taurus, shining at magnitude 5.6. And we've got Neptune. Neptune is rising. Oh, what time is Neptune rising? About a few minutes before 5 PM this week. Look for Uranus low to the east in the evening, just northeast of Saturn all month. Neptune is in the constellation of Pisces, shining at magnitude 7.7. So you will need binoculars or a telescope to spot Neptune. But it is fairly close to Saturn. It is, let's see, it is preceding Saturn. By just a few, actually about a minute there, let's see. Neptune is rising at 4.56 PM, and Saturn is rising at 4.57 PM. So what's a minute of each other? So they should be very, very close together in the evening sky.

Ceres was at opposition back on the second, rising as the sun sets. Ceres is about 15 p.m. in the evening. Ceres can be spotted low to the south and near the mid-week when it is highest in the sky. Ceres is at its best viewing for the year of this month. Ceres is in the constellation of Cetus, shining at magnitude 7.7. And Cetus is fairly low, so it will be fairly low to the south. So you will need a fairly flat southern horizon if you want to have a chance to spot Ceres. Then we have Pluto. Pluto is setting, what time is it setting? Almost midnight, just a few minutes before midnight this week. The best time to spot Pluto will be in the late evening when it is highest in the sky to the southwest. Pluto is in the constellation of Capricorn, shining at magnitude 15.3. By the time it is highest in the south, the sun is actually setting, so it will be a little bit more difficult. You will have to definitely have some dark skies. Good luck in spotting Neptune, Ceres and Pluto. Large telescope and dark skies will be needed. And now is the time for those dark skies.

Whether you're just starting out wondering what's up in the skies, or you've been doing it for decades, or longer than I have, I always like to have that experience out there as well. Wow, so, because I rely on you guys a lot for the information. Same goes with you Jeff, same question. So, Bob, you're up, K0BDH, welcome to the Net. Tell us a little bit about your background, interest in astronomy. Go ahead. Hello Roger that. Before we get broken loose here, I'd like to repeat your call sign and your name. Your radio broke up just at the time that you were saying that. My background has been decades, basically. My entire family has been involved in astronomy. My dad was a chief design engineer for Kid Peek National Observatory, back when it was NOAO. And National Observatory University Systems across the world. My brother is now the head of the engineering department, the shop, the manufacturer. All kinds of parts for everything from mirrors to mirror mounts, drive units, the whole mirror for the entire university system there in astronomy. And my interest has been one of basically amateur in nature. Built my first ground-blown mirror and built my first telescope back in the 60s."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-21T18:49:36+00:00","id":66092,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":66091,"text":" Thank you."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-21T18:53:23+00:00","id":66093,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":66092,"text":" All right Bob, looks like I got lots of experience there, so I do appreciate that and who knows, maybe I will have you share some of the stories and future nets for sure.

In fact, I learned something new just from every net and I have been doing it for 30 years. So this is definitely a learning net as well. So I definitely like to learn something new myself and hopefully you guys are out there learning as well. That's why I encourage questions for sure. And let's see, KJ5JQQ posts in YouTube. Always been interested in science, very amateur but love to listen to astronomy podcasts and books. I recently saw the ISS with my naked eye the other day and thought it was amazing. So there you go.

If I need to take outside to see where the star chart of the pass is, in this case there is a little sliver of a pass just to the north here in Denver. The ISS has returned to the morning sky passing very, very close to the northern horizon.

Again that website is www.d OK we've got a couple of comets. I talked about comet Lemon just a bit passing through Canis, Meneses and Belutes. We also have comet C2025, our two swan shines in the October sky. This is from Space. JPL is shut down because of the government shut down so it doesn't have any posts from them. Comet C2025, our two swan will make a close flyby of Earth on October 21st. And that may have changed slightly to the 24th. I've seen this one, they had another one. A bright new solar system comet could put on a show and it would be a bright new solar system comet could put on a show in the October night sky as it zooms past Earth. Comet C2025, our two swan was discovered on September 10th by Ukrainian amateur astronomer Vladimir Bezubly. It has brightened significantly since then, raising hopes that it could become a naked eye comet around the time that it makes its closest approach to Earth later this month, October 21st. It draws close to the sun, the heat from our star causes frozen material present in the comet's nucleus to turn from a solid directly into a gas in a process known as sublimation. The resulting gaseous shell is then blown away by the solar wind, creating a long tail of dust and gas that reflects the sunlight, creating a cosmic spectacle that could, if we're lucky, be visible to the naked eye from Earth. Ah, Comet C2025, our two swan made its closest approach to the sun."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-21T19:01:47+00:00","id":66097,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":66096,"text":" It is the closest approach to the sun, a point known as per helium, on September 12, when it passed a little under 47 million miles from the sun, or roughly half Earth's average orbital distance. Recent observations collected by the Common Observation Database, or COBS, run by the CRNI VRH Observatory in Slovenia, have placed C2025R2 swans' brightness at magnitude 5.6, meaning that it could already be visible as a very faint naked eye object under perfectly dark skies. For context, the human eye is capable of detecting night sky objects with a magnitude lower than plus 6 under ideal conditions. The brighter an object, the lower its magnitude. And I think we already talked about that. It will be much easier to spot through a pair of binoculars or a telescope. How to find Comet C2025R2 swan in the October night sky. Comet C2022R2 swan can be found in the evening sky throughout October and is best spotted in the hours following sunset. Before it sinks low on the south-southwest horizon on October 16, the comet will be positioned approximately 5 degrees to the upper left of star Xi Serpentis, the eastern section of the constellation Serpens. A stargazing app on your mobile device can help you locate the comet if you're unfamiliar with these stars. We'll see C2025R2 swan pass above the famous teapot asterism in the constellation Sagittarius to pass through the stars of the constellation Scutum. So Sagittarius is easier to spot towards the west. So if you see what looks like a teapot kind of pouring out its T towards the western horizon, that's Sagittarius. So this comet is going to be just above the handle. So that might be a possibility. By the end of the month, the wandering solar system body will be visible above the southern horizon between the bright stars. Saddle Millik and Saddle Sude in the cost of the comet, with the half-lit moon shining below. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November Quebec, November, all star node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. Stargazers hoping to catch a glimpse of C2025R2 swan should read our roundups of the best binoculars and telescope. OK, that's just an advertisement there.

And so when I write about it, it makes people react in interesting ways. Let's see, well, oh, I played through stuff on my harp this evening, including some of my popular songs like Fire and Rain and Leader of the Band and all the rest of it, which I'm going to have less use for now that the summer is over. Darn. I hate the winter when I can't busk or can't busk as easily. Other than that, my goodness, not a lot going on. If JXM checks in, JXM Robert checks in, I'd really appreciate an email from him.

Hope everyone's doing well. It feels good to be back home. My wife and I went to Japan for about a week and a half and had a fantastic time. I believe it was last Tuesday I checked in. I was checking in from Kenazawa, Japan. I just had a simple I.O. I didn't have a whole lot of time, but at the time we were walking around some back city streets and discovering different temples. And a lot of temples have cats. I don't know why. I just noticed a lot of temples have cats that just kind of hang out like little protectors. And they're adorable and they make great photo, photos, photo ops. I learned some things about traveling to Japan, especially about how to time your flights. When we flew to Japan, we left at 4 p.m. Seattle time, which is a good time to go because it's a 10 hour flight. And then when you land, it's like 7 p.m. Tokyo time. And you just have to stay up for a couple more hours and then you go to sleep. And you get a full night's sleep. You wake up in the morning and you're on Tokyo time. And it's not perfect, but it's probably the best long distance traveling time changeover that I've ever done. Way better than I have experienced going to Europe. However, on the way home, don't do that. You want to get the earliest morning flight you can because we did it wrong. We got the 4 p.m. flight out of Tokyo. And at that point you've been awake for about 10 hours. And then you have a 10 hour flight back to the U.S. We had a 4 hour layover in San Francisco. By the time we got home, we were basically awake for like close to 30 hours. That was not great. I'm still, today was like the first day that I was starting to feel half normal. I'm going to break for a second."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-21T21:21:54+00:00","id":66137,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":66136,"text":" But I'm still not completely adjusted back.

But I have so much to talk about. Japan is amazing, great food, great culture. Everything is like super clean and just super fun. I love how fun the culture is. Like we took Air Nippon Airways or Asian Nippon Airways I think it's called. They give you slippers. Everybody gets slippers. They just keep feeding you. You get little things of hagandas, ice cream, and snacks, and fruit, and all kinds of \u2014 they just keep giving you stuff. It's amazing. And even the airplane safety thing they put on the screens, the little commercial that shows you how to not die in an airplane, it has little Pok\u00e9mon cartoons and really funny little things like make sure you buckle your seat belt otherwise during turbulence they show this guy flying out of his chair. It's actually quite humorous. It feels like the first safety demonstration I actually paid attention to. So anyway, if you're going to go to Japan, fly ANA. That's my public service announcement for the evening. I'll stop there, but it feels really good to be home. Love the weather, love the trees.

We came through San Francisco earlier and I'm dropping a bag off the crash pad here in Seattle before I fly back to Boston tomorrow. And then I got two days off, I work another trip that comes back through Seattle on the 25th where I'm going to drop another bag here in Seattle. And then I go to Reno after that. And then after that trip's done I got five days off so I'll be coming back over here to Seattle once again. So doing a lot of crossing the country. And 30 hours, tree, 30 hours! That's rookie numbers, no I'm kidding. That's a long time to be up. I've been there. You get kind of deliriously tired but hopefully he got some naps there on the plane between meals. It sounds pretty good. I've been to Japan twice, loved it every time I've been there. Brought home a bunch of souvenirs and food and things like that. And sadly lost, I bought an electric fan over there that I used to carry around with me and I left it on a plane one day and it breaks my heart because I know it's out there somewhere. Some ground cleaner and or other flight attendant is enjoying or ended up in the lost and found and it's being auctioned off on eBay. Somebody's enjoying that fan that I picked up in Osaka. Anyhow, just here in Seattle for the night. We leave tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be here for the 9am net. And that's all I got. Long day today, long day tomorrow. But I get two days off afterwards.

Maybe if it ends up on eBay, you'll \u2013 it sounds like you probably lost it a while ago \u2013 but maybe you'll find another one for real cheap. I have used eBay to replace lost items a few times. It can be pretty handy. The time I left the \u2013 I had bought the \u2013 I had left the owner's manual for my car on the roof. It disappeared a while back.

Can I be seated? Brooks here in Newcastle. Doing all right tonight. I had a heck of a day today. So last night, right before bed, went to, was it Megan had just gotten out of, done taking a bath or something, and I had just flushed the toilet. And we realized that the sewer line at that moment decided to back up. And so that was fun. So I got the kept toilet out of the garage, because you've got to be prepared just in case. And today was able to get the plumber out here. And luckily, we have an easily accessible clean out in the backyard. And they were able to get that snaked. And with relatively little incident and actually fairly affordable cost, get us back up and running on the sewer line side. So yeah, it wasn't as bad as it could have been. But yeah, it certainly had us a little worried there for the night and the morning. So there was that. And I was actually supposed to go up to Bellingham for work today to do some work stuff. And then there was some extracurricular activities I had going on up there for some new equipment that I'm going to be getting for the garage, which I didn't get to do. So I was a little bummed about that. So not working out that on the side here. But anyway, other than that, everything else seems to be going pretty well. Looking forward to the Rain or Shine this weekend. Let's see. Oh, softball's all done. So done with softball for the year. So my Thursday nights are back open. So that's kind of nice to have a little bit of a break from that. Outside of that, that's pretty much it. If you could mark Megan down as an IO, that would be great. She sends radio waves from the other room, K9 MLR, IO for her. And with that, I'm going to send it back to you, Paul. Say 7-3, everyone.

Some scientists in France have come up with an artificial retina, and right now it's aimed at macular degeneration. But it is the size of a pinhead. It mounts in the middle of your retina, and it's as thin as plastic wrap. What we know so far is that 27 of the 35 people it's been tried on could all read again. In other words, they went up four lines on the eye chart. It's pretty successful, and it's pretty amazing. Many of us have macular degeneration. Some of us have lost our vision due to that, so there may be hope out there for you. It also involves special glasses, which have cameras in them, and they transfer the images they see into infrared light and then shine it on this artificial retina. It's pretty cool. Anyway, there you go, Daryl. When I was reading that, I was thinking about you. They haven't replaced the optic nerve yet, but can that be far behind? VL1 UKZ, how is your day going?

I think the meaning for mostly of it is the British Columbia General Employment Union and their workers are striking and as a result it's affecting some places and some stores. People have complained that it's affecting some groceries. I haven't noticed anything directly to me. I have noticed some items because they warned about this in the dispensaries being not available or more expensive but it's minimal so it hasn't caused me a lot of trouble. People said the BC liquor which is like the equivalent of the LCBO in Ontario, people said that it's missing things off the shelf and a lot of it is Doug Ford influenced and a lot of it is the union strike that's going on where there's a lot of products and a lot of things that are missing. Read about it and maybe it will be interesting to hear you comment about it at some point. I won't hear it very good today because what I did earlier is I did half of my work so I could come out and fool around because despite the outage we were still talking and so I did a little bit of that before four and then we made long made way for you to come out here. So I have retinopigmentosis which led to retinal detachment. If there was any hope I would be on that like you wouldn't believe because I don't know if it's a popular opinion but I was somebody that was hindered when I lost my sight. I won't say my life changed drastically, I love my life, I love my situation but I was interrupted. Yeah of course man I could see at one point I can't no more. I had that dream car but I don't know what it is, it was just a dream car and I don't know I didn't really have because I was still visually impaired so I knew colors but I wasn't into things like paintings and stuff like that at all right like I had a scrapbook that I kind of colored into so I liked that. I rode a trike because I was small, I was little now I probably I'm too fat I knocked one of those things over but well you ain't supposed to be in your 40s and 50s messing with a trike. So see I'm backing up on a lot of things that I kind of left behind right so teenage years at least right the 13 and on I'd say I lost my total sight like just complete darkness from now on and so the only thing I like about it is it's still not really a transplant you know what I'm saying like you got to have a gear and a tiring to make it happen that's the only thing I don't like about it honestly I was hoping for more like you know just a straight up retina replacement and because my retina pigmentosis led to retinal detachment so you talking about Daryl but I'm thinking I would be the I don't know whether to say a good or the worst to try it on but in theory I'm one person that would just because I was disrupted when that stuff happened it put a lot of my plans in my life on hold so I'm old ass I don't know how comfortable I'm gonna be it's too bad it doesn't come with a new body or too bad it doesn't come with a 13 year old body like I had because I'm also thinking other than saying I won the mile I wouldn't quite enjoy it quite as much so although I can answer that maybe the dream car now will be like a dune buggy you know stuff that desert ratchets drive around with you know the uncovering rat you know the what is that William Devlin doesn't he sing about it diamond in the back some rooftop anything and that the joint that the 64 one pilot or the one all the rappers like you know that"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-22T04:49:20+00:00","id":66217,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":66216,"text":" VA3KKY will take up a collection.

With a peace fire, with a ceasefire hold. I think it's going to have some false starts. Hamas is the issue. They don't, they're fighting for their very existence. And their existence doesn't include living peace and harmony. They don't want to give up power. But, you know, and that's why they still are holding on to some of the hostages because they know that's a major sticking point for the Israelis. They very much value their citizens, unlike Hamas. So they're holding on to those last dead bodies to use as leverage. But eventually it will, you know, Trump went in there and gut the other countries that were giving Hamas support to stop giving Hamas support, political and militarily. So, you know, they don't have anybody to fall back on to. So it's going to get taken care of. Unfortunately, the countries that should be stepping up, Qatar and some other people, to provide security are not willing to go in and provide security for the Palestinian people. So it might end up getting left to the Israelis. But they, you know, if Hamas doesn't give up and give up their weapons and live in peace, then the Israelis will go in there. And they don't want to go in, but they will go in in order to provide safety and security for the Palestinians against Hamas. And then we'll see where that goes from there. So whether or not this peace persists, again, it's all upon Hamas. They're the ones that keep breaking it, or at least splinters of themselves that keep breaking it. And if it doesn't stop, then someone's going to go in and take care of them. And then there'll be no more. And then they'll be able to give peace a chance. So we'll see how that goes.

And most of them were 60 feet underground, so it's cold and wet. And I think they said you had like a chamber pot or an old tin can to relieve yourself in, which was easy if you're not being fed or given water on a daily basis. So it sounds pretty terrible.

It still sounds silly for me to say it, you play as a very heavily armed potato, but you can hold six weapons at once. They can be flamethrowers, machine guns, pistols, knives, whatever you want. You can get up to six weapons simultaneously, and they're all shooting simultaneously, so once you get your weapons powered up, I mean, you can be taken out 10, 15 enemies at a time per shot, and these guys are coming. I mean, there's dozens and dozens of enemies coming at you, and as you build up your weapons, more enemies start coming, and you're doing it in waves, so it's like two minutes long per wave, around that anyway, depending on how quick you kill all the enemies. So, you kill all the enemies, and then it goes to another wave, and there's more enemies, and they're faster, but your weapons are upgraded. It's like a roguelike type of game, where you just progress and progress and progress, and eventually you die, and you start all over again from scratch, but when you start over from scratch, you pick a different combo of weapons, you upgrade them differently, and you see the longer you can last.

And one of my editors actually said, okay, no more columns on cameras because I was reviewing cameras all the time and I still think they're great. I own way too many. And I mean IP cameras is what I'm talking about. Bill, you got a chance to write a question and what would you like to know?

Luckily, we don't get a whole bunch of people all at once, so it's a little bit easier to focus on individuals.

That's why I'm kind of stalling here, coming at it from a couple different angles, see if I can come up with an idea.

Whether they, you know, do they have a religion or not, you know, how do they view life. You know, these are, you know, usually the basics, things that everybody wants to know, or most people want to know.

I mean, there are individual people I'd like to ask certain questions too, but it wouldn't be over like they mad or anything because it may not be the nicest of questions or the nicest of answers. It reminds me ... that's funny. It reminds me of ... I like the HBO miniseries John Adams, and I'm sure some of you have all seen it. That just made me think of the scene where John Adams was really offending ... I can't think of which guy it was. Anyhow, he's offending somebody, and he wasn't getting his way in the Continental Congress. So he asked Benjamin Franklin his advice, and he was told to go slow. It's perfectly acceptable to offend somebody in private. They may even thank you for it, but when you offend somebody in public, they tend to think you're serious. That's a lesson that I can keep relearning myself. Anyhow, so yeah, no questions then. I'm sending it back to KJ5 IRQ, back to KC2 PKG.

Yes nice to have the money but money runs out too and friends you have forever. So if they are good truthful friends you know. I thought I had a friend here too and she was just a taker. And what I mean with it being just a taker is she wanted always you're helping but don't want to do anything else you know. So and if you take her for drive or whatever that's fine and you can pay her for drinks and food and what not but she would not return ever a favor to you you know. She thinks she is the queen you know so I don't like that as a friend as well so there you go. Sometimes it has to be a two-way street as well you know. Occasionally give something to Woodscaster or whatever you know or say okay give a supper as well you know. You don't have to pay every time on your own you know that's what I mean.

I wish you break your ankle you know like how if that's a truest friend you will do not wish anything towards your friend or whatever you know.

He drops over to my place, I drop over to his place, go crowd quad riding together. I don't know many people up here. I do know a lot of people up here that have quads, but not the people that I'd want to hang out with or go for a ride with, you know. And my buddy Frank is definitely one. I put him right at the top of the list. And then my brother in law, we have follow outs now and then, I mean, but who doesn't? We've also known each other since we're about six or seven years old. He's from this neighborhood as well. Him and my sister, I mean, they've been together for over 20 years, 20 years, 20 some odd years. Since they're like 17 years old, they've been together. And out here, I'd have to say yourself and Bill. I would consider two of my best friends on radio for sure. I've got a lot of good friends on radio. But as far as like people that I hang out with and stuff, there's not too many, man. I keep the list small. I like to come out here and talk to as many people as possible. And, you know, I probably come across as very social, you know, bit of an asshole, I'm sure, but I've been called worse over the years. But I have a lot of friends, you know, in radio, people that have gotten to know over the years, relationships, you know, with, you know, other system owners and just different things, you know, different people I've been around, made a lot of people that I just don't like to associate with on radio as well. The list is larger, though, with the people I do like out here. There's only been like a small group. I could probably count them on one hand of people that I just can't tolerate. Or I used to be, I used to like and then they got weird or something like that. I mean, to no fault of their own. I mean, it's probably just part of their personality. Man, social has been laying on me since I got back home. Yeah. So I mean, I don't keep a lot of close friends. I mean, the way I look at it, the closer you get with someone, the more they get to know about you, the more avenues they have to screw you over if they chose to, you know, and I've been screwed over by people that I was close to before.

So I just laid on my back all night sleeping and that's not my favorite way to sleep. Because when I'm on my back, I usually bend my legs in a weird way and then I wake up. Oh man, you're funny. But yeah, I don't keep a whole lot of close friends. Especially in person, like around the neighborhood and stuff. Just because people tend to use what they learn about you against you. If they decide they're pissed off with you one day, then every little thing they know about you could potentially come out in a heated argument or they could tell someone else everything about you. You know, it's just a pain in the ass. So it's not worth the headache. Same reason that I've pretty much not gotten involved in women. I don't participate in dating apps anymore. Because the last couple that I ended up with turned out to be absolute psychos. Absolute psychos, man. I've got a bad problem with psychos. And that's another reason I just don't bother.

And no, you don't, because it helps to make it smooth and soft. Just responding to Darryl there. I can read and talk at the same time. So that was me that distracted him earlier. But they're friends that I've gotten from my job. I mean, I've been 29 years at this job, so I've had friends that were from before I did this job that I contact every now and then. But most of the people that I have that are maybe close are people that I've gotten from this job, and we don't live anywhere near each other. And I'm not at home long enough to create any long bonding friendships there. I've got some with some of the people up in Corinne that I can call friend, and that's because I'm up there all the time. But mostly it's talking on the phone. And I'm there for that. I feel bad about asking anybody for help, like when I'm at home or something, because I'm not there to reciprocate. They call me, and I'm like, well, sorry I'm in Vegas today, or I'm sorry I'm here, I'm sorry I'm there. So I feel a little bit guilty on that front.

He's probably been one of the biggest life-changing things that happened to me. It solved a lot of my problems. That's because my friend was willing to put his neck on the line and let him in.

And I don't just say that because the first 10 years was, well, yeah, the first 7 to 10 years was pretty rough for both of us. I think that we had to learn to like each other and become friends, or else we wouldn't have made it. That's what I think. She's over there laughing evilly. I don't know if you can hear her or not. So anyhow, yeah, you know as young people do when they get married young. And I was 35ish or so before I started maturing, so that should explain a lot. But yeah, no, I keep a very small circle. My best friend is my family. No joke. My wife and my kids. My kids are all adults. We all get along not on Reddit or anything like this, but we all get along so great together. We purposely raised our family to be close. That's how my family was before this last generation kind of split things up. And I think that's the natural tendency of life. You know, raising my family to be close, so hopefully their kids will be really close as first cousins. But then their kids will probably be that generation that drifts apart again. And looking through genealogy and stuff like that, I've noticed that. It's kind of cool how you can notice patterns. So yeah, my family is my best friends. Now I've got a couple, two, three guys that I can call them. You know, no matter what, they'll answer it. They'll be there for me. I mean, one of them I've known since I was about five. We don't hang out much these days. We've got different lives. We kind of run a different path. About, I don't know, we're going to say 10, 15 years ago maybe. And that's okay. And we still see each other from time to time. He really is one of my best friends for life. If he needed something, I'd drop whatever it is to go help him and he would do the same. The other couple guys are guys I met in the military. We don't talk once or twice a year. But when you pick up the phone, you know, it's still the same guy that it was 20, 25 years ago. To an extent. I mean, of course they've all matured. But now we talk more about lonely things rather than girly things. You know, back in the day it was always talking about the next girl and now it's always talking about the next grandkid. But I guess that's how life goes. So we're fortunate to make it long enough to talk about those things. Especially through some of the things that me and those guys have gone through. Alright, KJ5 IRQ. Sending it back to KC2.

Yeah, thank you, Joe. I was not short time today, but I won't hold it very long anyway. I'd say the most dangerous thing I ever did was take my job in Uganda back in the day. I worked for the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs back in the early to mid 2000s, and they sent me to Uganda, Kampala particularly. And back then, in the early 2000s, Uganda was not the safest place in the world. And I had an AK-47 put to my chest. I was called Muzungu, which means like white devil in Swahili. The level of racism against Westerners back then was incredibly high. It was dangerous, man. It really was. And I wasn't military. I was civilian. And we were stationed pretty much to basically defend for ourselves. We didn't have military protection or government escorts or any of that kind of stuff. We were basically living just on the outskirts of the city in a guarded university campus. Granted, they had guards on the walls and stuff like that around the campus where we were living. But when we had to go to work in the morning, it was on us to get where we were going and get back safely. And when we were eating lunch or we were eating dinner story in this cafe style place, like a pool hall that had a restaurant. And that's where we were eating supper every day.

And someone read it for us and it turns out it said, please do not travel this section of road from this point to this point after dark. Road is deemed unsafe, which means we have robbers and criminals and muggers hiding in the woods waiting for people to come by and they'll rob you, only to find out that's the exact stretch of road. We were walking every single night getting back to the house from the cafe.

KQ7 JOA, WAAH, QB. You know, I started thinking about it, what if you asked a question. And I think the most dangerous thing I ever did, I didn't even realize at the time and hadn't even thought about it in that way until you brought up the question. I was an electronics engineer in the research laboratory at Fred Patterson Air Force Base. And one of my things I did is I was involved in testing from the engineering side, electronic warfare equipment, receivers, jammers, that sort of thing. And as I recall, we had installed not a jammer but a receiver, a special receiver test B-47. And we were going to go for a test flight. The B-47 has a three main crew, pilot, co-pilot, and rear gunner, and the bombardier and navigator. The pilot sits, of course, up in the canopy, the co-pilot behind him, and the navigator bombardier sits down in the nose. If you had to get out, the top two have ejection seats, and the guy in the front just falls out of the airplane. The whole nose comes off and he does. Well, there are no other seats. And so I'm sitting in the aisleway next to the pilot so I can see the meters, the receiver, and that sort of thing. I have a parachute on, but there are no seat belts, as I recall. There may have been, but I don't think, don't recall them. Anyway, I look back on them and I said, if something happens, how did I get out of here? Anyway, that I guess, when I thought that was probably the most dangerous thing I did, have ever done, and at the time I thought it was just routine work. Anyway, that's it for me today. Take care. K-T-7-J-O-A-W-A-A-H-U-B. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7. You see, that's what I'm talking about. Whether you knew it or not, that's what it's, last night I was just trying to think and I was going, man, what is the most dangerous? I was telling some stories to my wife and we were kind of reminiscing about when we were teenagers and I was letting her know how fast I used to drive. I was crazy. I used to race motorcycles, whatever. And then I was like, and she happened to say, she goes, that was really dangerous. And I'm thinking, well, that wasn't too dangerous. And then I just started thinking like, what has, what is the most dangerous thing I've done? And I've done a lot of stupid things and I've done a lot of dangerous things, work related, so forth and so on. So yeah, but you don't realize it at the time, right? You don't realize the time, but thanks for sharing the story with us, Jim. I appreciate it. And next up we'll go to Woody. So N5XCXOKT7-J-O-E here in the net.

You want to find out what happened. She didn't like that. She wouldn't drive anymore. So I took it all by myself. Yeah, you know, there was this blind guy, a little blind guy, riding a bicycle in Houston, Florida. I was living death out that time. And my fourth place was absolutely death and heaven.

Well, the most dangerous thing I actually ever have done, other than break my tibia, by the way, that's not to be considered the most dangerous, if not the most painful, but I'm thinking of something else, though. Because it was really scary. And I'm going to tell the story, kind of like Sophia would tell it on the Golden Girls, so that you get a good image of how it all works out. So picture this, 1994, summer of 1994, my brother from New York came to visit, and we go up to Park City, Utah with my parents, and we decide to ride the Alpine Slide, which is a sled thing that you get on and ride down this steep hill very, very fast. And my other friend Bonnie was in town, and we decided to introduce her to Scott, because we figured maybe they could have gotten married. They think they were getting along pretty well, and we were kind of hoping, I think, that that would happen, because Bonnie is a good woman. So we go to the Alpine Slide, and I get on the slide with Bonnie, holding onto Bonnie, and my brother gets on the slide in back of me. Let me reset once."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-22T07:24:31+00:00","id":66432,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":66431,"text":" And we all three start going down this hill. Now keep in mind, Scott's in back of me. I'm sitting on the car with Bonnie holding onto her and she's driving. So we start going down this hill and the hill started steep and it's making some twists and turns and we're going super fast. And Bonnie made a turn and I fell off the slide, hit the dirt, hit the pavement pretty hard. And she saw Scott come down behind us and he was going super fast and she screamed really loud, Scott, to get him to stop because if he hadn't stopped when he did, he would have killed me. And as it turned out, he stopped, but he hit me in the back when he stopped. And if he had not hurt her, he probably would have either killed me or I would have been in big trouble. So it was really, really scary. And after that, I don't remember ever one of that again ever, but I ended up doing it years later because my boyfriend talked me into riding it by myself and then he guided me down the hill by talking me down and it was, oh my God, it was the scariest thing. But all I could think about all the way down was hearing Bonnie, Scott, you know, because I fell off the bike. So, oh yeah, scary times.

It's good to hear your voice and your sounding a lot healthier than you have in the recent past. That's good news for all of us since we're your family as well. Children's family I guess. Before I get to the question of the day, the weather here is kind of strange. We actually had a bit of a drizzle at .05 inches of rain this morning but it's now quiet and the suns, skies are clear and the suns trying to shine. Temperatures are 66 to 86 today so this is really great weather. On the question of the day I actually have two. One was in my last year in college as an undergraduate. This would have been 67 I think if I can remember well. I was driving home from, I went to the University of Texas in Austin but the family lived in Pasadena which is a suburb of Houston. I remember I was going home for some kind of an event. I don't know if it was Thanksgiving or a birthday or whatever. It was a Friday evening and the weather was horrible. The worst that I've ever seen in my life and I continued to drive at like 15 to 17 miles an hour with the lights on and no radio. I needed to hear everything. It was just horrible late at night and finally made it home. That was stupid that I did it but I made it home safely. The other is joining the Navy. I know that sounds kind of silly to many that join the military. Yeah, bad things do happen. It was the greatest thing that I did in my life next to meeting and marrying Marceline. But joining the Navy nearly cost me my life three times. I don't go into the details of that but I don't regret it. I was doing my job but I was nearly killed three different times there. That's stuff you don't forget. With that I'm looking forward to hearing from my friends, the Lovebirds and Rosie and others. This is Bud, K-5E, DPH, returning to the net to Joe, K-27, J-O-E. Wishing everybody a super duper wonderful day today. Oh, by the way, today is my first week anniversary of moving into the Seager Living Facility. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7 November... Well, happy one week anniversary of living at the new facility. I got your email and just the front of it, the picture that you put with just the main entrance there, kind of looks like a nice place. I was going to look it up on the maps but I guess I forgot because I didn't look it up on the maps and how to do the 3D thing on the Google maps or whatever. I didn't look at Google Earth. Bud thanks for sharing the stories and I was waiting for somebody to say the military. That's one of the ones that my wife said for me that was dangerous. When I joined I never thought about it being dangerous. I was going to be a mechanic. How dangerous could being a light wheel vehicle mechanic be? Who knew? Who knew? Anyway, thanks Bud for sharing that with us and you have a great day and I'm glad that you're... Well, you're sounding good as well and I'm glad that you're doing okay at the new place. All right, next up AE7MR, Mr. Terry. Good morning Terry and what's the most dangerous thing you've ever done?

You would be riding around having yourself just an excellent time and a certain tone of cards come by and the first thing you know all you could do is just drop the reins and hang on to the horn of the saddle because he was going to run until he got it out of the system. At age 15 I tested over the 1958 Old 88 four-door with no back seat in it and my dad says, let's see what this thing will do. I took it up to 130 on the old West River Road over here in front of Hemlock and had to shut it down because we were coming to the other end of the straightway. I've driven my B110 100 miles an hour between here and Utah and of course the US Army is another thing that I've done. I was number 18 on the draft list and I got a deferment until further notice and when I started getting ready to graduate high school I decided to go in there because I wasn't going to get any schooling so I got a lot out there. Anyway, I left like probably I was turning back to the net. I got a whole lot more I'll tell you. My bicycle rides almost landed me in the ditch. So on and so forth.

Yesterday was kind of rough. My sugar kept going crazy but it's back to normal now thank goodness. And my blood pressure is good to go too. Everything looking, hopefully we're downhill from this now. But anyway the most dangerous thing probably had to be when I was with EMS. We went around the sharp curb and my partner didn't quite like it well because I was driving too fast. We about lost control and there was another car coming towards us. I swerved and missed it thank goodness. But yeah I think that was a pretty dangerous thing. That was dumb too on my part. But the patient was in full arrest and we had to get to the hospital like yesterday. So I guess that's the reason why I go fast. Anyway not much going on here. It's been a while since I've been on here. Work and all that stuff and now the surgery. Now I got time to play on the radio now. We got sunny skies and 56 degrees here. We haven't had a first frost yet. I think tonight might be the day. Supposed to get down to 34 here. We'll see how that goes. A lot of wind coming in right now. We got a cold front moving in.

I had two surgeries, but I had them very early in life. I had two hernias, I should say. Had a lot of surgeries, but two hernias. One was done one way and the second one ... One was done, I think I was about six, maybe nine years old. I think I was nine years old when I had the first one done. And then I got a hernia, compliments of the US Army. When I came back from basic training before I went to my first station, I was 19. And had my other side done. And that was done with the mesh or whatever that they had all sort of recalls on, but thank goodness I've had no problems. But yeah, as you get older, any surgery becomes ... And actually most ailments are not what they were when you were younger. So yeah, glad that you're doing okay. Glad surgery went well. Good to have you on here. Good to hear you. Oh, look at that.

I was backpacking and at the point that they were probably most afraid for me was when I was backpacking through Sri Lanka. And this was when their civil war was going on.

Right before the train we hit it, we would get down in these trussles when it would come over this bridge. This bridge would shake real hard and I saw the bright lights and I ran in and jumped down in this trussle. I was a little bitty thing, I was like I might fall out of here. It was really shaky and I only did it once, I was too scared to do it again. But that was pretty scary and I would see some of them out there in front of the lights playing a tag with the train, which you know who will win. I have lost friends to the trains too, so it's very sad. And then of course, you know, I had a cycling accident, which is a cycle bike, not a motorcycle. And I probably should not have been riding that day because we had two weeks of rain and it mixed with the sewer and became very slick. Unfortunately, I took a bad fall and broke my steamer and my hip both at the same time. I was on full metal over that one. But I've done lots of other crazy things as well.

And first off, happy hump day to the net. Yeah, my story is tame compared to what I'm here. Yeah, let's see. Back in the late 80s, my wife and I and a buddy, we moved out here. We moved out to Colorado, Virginia. And so we got into rock climbing and mountain climbing. And so me and my buddy, George, one day we went out to bag two peaks, Mount Bierstadt and Mount Evans here in Colorado. And they're both 14,000 foot peaks. So we were hacking through some willows and bushwhacking. And we got up to the top of Mount Bierstadt, the first peak, so we checked that off the list. And now we can look over and see Mount Evans. So we ended Mount Bierstadt, and we're trying to figure out how to get there. So we started scrambling up this feature. It's called a sawtooth. And it looked pretty reasonable, and it started out as class three rock scrambling. But as we got further up, it got more difficult. And we were just in hiking boots. We didn't have any rope for climbing gear. And we got about halfway up the sawtooth, and it's getting to the point where now it's dangerous to down climb. So we're pretty much committed. And about halfway up, we encountered this move that it wasn't technically difficult, but it's exposed. So it was a dynamic move. So I'm standing on this rock, and the move is to step across this gap, take a big step across the gap, and grab this rock. And it's a simple move, but looking down, and the consequences of a fall are not good. If you miss the move, you're going to die. So fortunately, and we didn't have any thinking, why didn't I bring a rope? But I didn't. So we executed the move. And fortunately, there wasn't anything more difficult above, because we're not in a position where we can down climb this. So if it got worse above, we're stranded. But unfortunately, we didn't, and got up to the top, made it over to Mount Evans, and completed our circuit. So yeah, it was kind of a near-death experience, and taught me to bring a rope. So that's what I have here. Happy hump day.

Thanks for sharing that. And yeah, I climbed Cook Falls when I was a teenager. I was about 18, 17, 18. Just a quick, quick story. I won't go into every story every time somebody checks in. But yeah, Cooks Falls I believe was like one of the tallest waterfalls in the northern part of New York. I'm not sure about all of New York, but I think in that area where the northeast part of New York, northwest part, I think it was northeast part of New York, maybe even the southeast part of New York. I'm not even sure. It's a long time ago. Anyway, I was about 18. Anyway, it was about 1,100 feet, something like that, 1,000 feet. And we were just a group of teenagers, about four of us. All my good friends, close friends that I grew up with. And we're smoking a little bit and getting a little high. And we decided to climb Cooks Falls. And we never gave it any thoughts. We found all sorts of nice nooks and crannies to hang out in and just everything. But we were super high. And that was obviously not good. No gear, no nothing. I'm not a mountain climber, never not a rock climber. No nothing. And then when we got up, we were kind of wondering, well, how are we going to get back down? Then we found out going down, it's a lot harder than going up. And I'm so happy that nothing happened to any one of us that day. So that was an experience. And again, I never thought about it until you started mentioning the story. There's a lot of things we've done that were stupid, dangerous, crazy, whatever you want to call it.

I was kind of half conscious and the horse ran around and went back to the gate to be let back in. And so the neighbors called the ambulance and they x-rayed me and checked me over and everything, so nothing was broken. But it was a close call. And then, let's see, oh yeah, my girlfriend Joyce and I did a lot of goofy things and that one time we came back from, I think it was Reno, Nevada, across the desert there and the convertible was top down.

We were in a 16-foot ski boat with a 60-horsepower Evern Root on it and we started going out on these two rock things, jetties, I guess, or whatever they call them, big rocks. It was an inlet and there were these little triangle flags all over the place. I had no idea what those were.

So to get up the first wave, I had to use full horsepower out of that 60 horse, Evanrud, and then we'd go down over the peak and the nose of the boat would go clear in underwater out of sight. We had about an 18 inch windshield that wrapped clear around the side of the boat, and that water ocean would hit that and flood part of the boat. I had the bilge pump running. I got Joyce, I had her back way up in the bow, she crawled under there and I told her to stay out of there. I don't know why we did that, but that made sense. Anyway, we managed to, luckily we didn't run out of gas or anything, only had about one inch of gas in the tank and I didn't realize that until it was all over with.

Thanks for both of your stories and all of your stories. And I've never been thrown for horse. I've ridden for quite a while since I moved up to Nevada, moved up to Ely in my mid-20s, early 20s. And I guess, yeah, it was my early 20s, about 24, 23 when I went up to 24. And I owned a couple of horses and kept my horses on a friend's ranch. Then they had several horses and bulls and cows and all sorts of animals which I was never really familiar with growing up in New York. So I never had anything happen to me. And, yeah, being thrown off a horse can definitely be dangerous. Look what happened to Superman, right? So you're very lucky there, Joyce.

Rosie, what was the most dangerous thing you've ever done besides slipping on the ice while trying to take groceries in and breaking your leg and whatever and falling down and all that kind of stuff? So aside from falling down and, you know, your normal routines, what's the most dangerous thing you've ever done, sweetheart? Over to you, Rosie. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November Quebec, November. Also note 16... KT7JOE. This is Victor Acofoia, sangalima. Oh, guys, you got me for sure. However... While running in the car and you think you beat it... and moving away from home, that's dangerous. Well, there we go. We got two of them. Oh, gosh. But V4YYL here, the test yesterday, yeah. Well, we're not finished yet. We got to do a couple more tests. They want to inject me with some kind of color or whatever to see in my night sleep if I lose any beats or whatever. Heart beats, you know. So they want to do that. And I also got to go for... throat and ear, nose doctor. That's where I got to go to. So, yeah, we're not done yet. They say it did not look like that I did have a heart attack, but it's still easy. So they don't know 100%. We got to do a few more tests and come down from that. So... But things are not 100% yet. We're still working on a few things right now. So, well, there we go. Nice to hear Eric in there and nice seeing Randy in there as well. Wow. You know, so we love to hear from you as well, Randy.

Here's KC7 YFE. Well, I'd have to say the most dangerous and dumb thing I've ever done was like when I was trying to get home from high school one time, I was 18. There's two things. I want to, well, first of all, I'm going to talk about the route I took from Harvard Avenue here in Roseburg over to Garden Valley and that was on the shoulder of the freeway. Dumb, dumb, dumb, that wasn't a good move on my part. It wasn't a wise choice of the routes. But I've done it a couple times but I made it to my destination point safely but I don't do that now since I know about bike paths and other ways to get around the freeway or go through the underpass or the overpass of it or where it crosses over the bike path. And another crazy thing I did is I got a bike 10 speed with only half the gears that worked and only half the gears worked on it but I started riding that thing around and I slammed into a utility pole. I scraped my arm up but nothing else but had to give up the bike after that. Those are the two things there. So there you go. There's two dangerous things, dangerously stupid things I did. Could have been hit many times so I'm glad I'm here to tell about it. So that KT7JOE, thank you for the net. I want to thank everybody else, everyone. You all know who you are. Thank you for being here. We're all coming together like this and making a great net. And like I've always said, you guys can have a net without me but I can't without you guys so let's keep coming back and keep up the good work. This is KC7YFE.

So it worked out really well. Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know that yesterday I went to the doctor and they went to take x-rays of my ankle. The x-ray machine went down like, oh man. So they weren't able to take x-rays but they looked at my last x-rays from August, said my ankle looked really good so she said, I'm going to let you take off and start walking without the boot. So now I am now wearing my regular shoes and just walking with a walker and I have to have physical therapy three times a week. So woohoo! So I just wanted to share that news with you. KC7SMW, you're back tonight. Well, thanks for the update and I'm assuming someone like me may have been before you in a machine that broke the machine because I broke one once and almost lost my ear. I had a bullet shrapnel in my ear and they said, oh, don't worry about it, it's too small. Well, it ripped it right out of my ear and it broke the machine. There was a lot more shrapnel than they thought. It's funny because the military told me that they just let it ooze out over time and it probably had been about 10 years and it was still quite a bit in there. None of it ever oozed out. However, it was removed, most of it was removed that day when I broke the scanning machine. So anyway, take care. Thanks for the update. Glad all is going well for the most part with you and hopefully you continue to have good news on your recovery. All right folks, that finally brings us down to the bottom of that list and we'll start taking some more check-ins. I'll be here until at least 8.30. I never worry about time. My dog's finally settled down so we're good to go. And the question of the day is what's the most dangerous thing that you've ever done?

And it went through a grove of trees and opened up and did this awesome, awesome farm area. And so I, the guy, when I knocked on the guy, the door, the guy sent me out to saddle the horse. So I saddled the horse. Well, I know about horses and saddles. And I put the saddle on and I sensed him up. And I looked at that. Oh, he's got a lot of air. So I padded him here and talked to him and padded him. And then when he wasn't looking, I grabbed that sense and I sensed it again. And I could go look at it. Oh, he's still got a lot of air. So I did it again. And I got on the stupid horse. Lincoln and I had already got enough taken down. And he come around and he said, didn't you tighten the sledge? I said, I've already tightened it three times. So anyway, I had told him that I hadn't been on a horse in 25 years. And he took me into the arena and he said, okay, walk the horse around the arena. So I walked him around the arena. Okay, now trotting. So I took him up to just below a gallop and trotted him around. Okay, now galloping. So then I turned him loose and let him have a run around that arena. And he put the horse's nose in the corner when I come back and said, now put him in the center of the arena. So I pulled on the reins and said, back, back, back, back, back. I put him in the middle of the arena. And the guy says, well Terry, I had people here all week and he says, out of all these people, he says, I can't hire you because you haven't been on a horse in 25 years and there's too many variables out in the brush. But he says, you're the best horseman I've had in three days. And I didn't get the job and I never got, I still haven't been on a horse since then because I just don't have the money to pay for a ride. Anyway, back to that from Alfieco 7 Micro Mio.

But he was my, not really next door neighbor, he lived across the street from me. And everybody used to go flying with him. And I always wanted to go on a small plane, and I always wanted to sit in the cockpit and all that kind of stuff. And I would just bug him, bug him, bug him. And I guess somebody wasn't able to go, one of my other friends that I grew up with wasn't able to go, so he took me. And he showed me a stall, which at the time as a kid, that was like a big thing. He turned the engine off and let the airplane stall and showed me how to do that, I shouldn't say show me, but showed me how he does that. And that scared the crap out of me. Turning the engines off when you're however many feet high. I mean, I know it glides, but now I know. And I know they teach you that now. When you're young, I got to say that kind of scared me. But taking a nose dive like that, that would be kind of scary. Especially, well, you said you were a kid, so I guess the adrenaline is still pumping though, that's for sure.

On the way back, we were between Pendleton and Hood River. A big, long, straight stretch and this car came up, I think it was another Chevrolet, and we kind of got into a race. I run that car up to like 120, I think, because it pegged the needle. I don't know if that's accurate or not, but anyway, I saw a state cop go the other way, going the other way, so I got off the gas and let him go on.

Yeah, my buddy Jack and I were up in Utah and we had this friend, Tim Martin, he was a pilot up there. He was getting pretty old, about seventy years old at that time. And he was a great pilot. And he took us up in the air and then while we were flying he says, you guys want to fly through an arch? And I says, I've always wanted to fly through an arch. So Dowling went zooming in the canyons and we flew through Kirk Arch. And then he said, my buddy Jack didn't get it on video, I got a photo of it, and he said, you want to go again the other direction? So we flew back through Kirk Arch in the other direction and it was quite a feel. I captured it in a still picture and Jack finally got it on video. But you had much room to play with. Kirk Arch isn't very big and the Cessna seemed awful big. It's a single engine Cessna. And this is a great pilot though. He'd been flying through arches all his life and just having so much fun. And finally they made laws against it about the time he had to quit. He was getting pretty old then. So back to net control, let's see if I timed out KC7GHD.

Not in a wingsuit or anything like that. But in a plane would be good. Or a helicopter. That would be awesome. But thanks for sharing the story, Joe. I appreciate it.

And hey, this is Kila Delta 7 Papa Whiskey Bravo Dave, known as the High Desert Pirate Radio down here in Central Oregon doing the net there in Seattle. Hey, this net meets every day at 9 a.m., noon and 9 p.m. on the PSRG repeater. It's an open net for all ham radio operators with a valid license and it's a social net. You can talk about anything you want as long as it's user friendly. Please keep that in mind and it is also a directed net. So please remember to go through net control to contact other stations. And when checking in, please remember, please don't tailgate. Let me acknowledge each station as they come in. It really helps cut down on the confusion a bit. There we go. And I'm pretty confused as it is. So there you go. The way it works, you're going to build in this list of names and call signs. I'll call for check-ins and I usually do five, six, seven at a time or so. And then I'll go back to the top of the list, ask for a report from each of those stations. And please remember to try and keep your reports to three minutes or less. That's the time out of the repeater. It lets us get everybody in in a timely fashion. And remember, and this is mission critical, please remember to end with your call sign. That tells me you're done with your report and it satisfies the FCC. Okay. That being said, IOs are certainly welcome and announced. Just so you know you're out there listening and really don't have anything to contribute, then that's fine too. I will take those anytime you want to come in. And let's see what else is going on. That's about it. I do have some fun announcements today. And I hope everybody has a chance to maybe take a look-see at the comet that's up there. We saw it last night, so that was kind of cool. And yeah, kind of neat off to the west, the low horizon after sunset. Okay. We're going to get things rocking and rolling here. We're going to start with short horizon stations. That's mobiles, low power, IOs, and anybody that needs to get in because they've got other commitments. So, we'll do that. Then we'll do some internet stations that will open up to everybody. And of course none of that is carved in stone. So there you go. With that, let's get things rocking and rolling this morning.

Yeah, I've been listening to the net since we started and we two are still trying to restock the larva after being gone for six months. It's not much in the house. So we made one big grocery run and just as we were eating breakfast, Jane said, add butter to the list. So, you know, we'll just keep adding to the list of things that we're out of. We have 48 degrees here in South Bellevue right now. The sun is out. We have like rich, hard shadows. And I hope we're going to get out and take a walk here before it starts raining later this afternoon. And other than that, let's see, tomorrow we have to make a run to the hospital to get a blood draw for Jane's upcoming doctor appointment. So we'll probably do that early in the morning. So fasting blood draw and then hit some place for breakfast. Either the, I can't remember the name of it now, but the nice place that we like in the Eastgate or maybe Chase's Pancake House. I don't know. We've got to figure that out where we're going to go to breakfast tomorrow after the blood draw. So we might miss the net tomorrow morning. But, you know, the times that we've done this, it's always timed it just about right that we're on the way home during the net so we can check in from the car. So anyway, that's all we got going here. Just trying to get a bunch of stuff organized and everything. Looking forward to seeing everybody on Saturday at the Rainershine. It's definitely going to be the rain net, I believe, on Saturday as Bill said earlier. So we've got the Gore-Tex out and the warm clothes. So we'll see everybody then. So that's all we got from here. We'll see you tonight on the ZumbaQ. And we'll get the full story on the NASCAR event. I did not hear that earlier.

I've been tasked with being the pumpkin wrangler, so I've got to go find some good pumpkins for folks to carve. We have a lot of pumpkin patches around here, so there shouldn't be any trouble finding some suitable pumpkins. I wanted to get really big pumpkins, but Jack said to be reasonable.

What you got going on? Come ahead please. Good morning. This is KU7 NUI Arthur and East Renton Highlands. I should be working right now but Comcast is completely down here and T-Mobile is not much better. It seems to be going really slowly at a crawl so I suppose their backhaul is affected by whatever outages happening here. I was kind of curious to see how widespread it is. It seems to be pretty localized I guess. Judging by nobody else complaining about internet outages, it's been a while since I've been on but always good to get out the radio, get some dust off it and join the net. So hope everyone is having a good day and we will see what I am up to today. I might just work on stuff around the house until the internet comes back. So yup, good times.

Okay, well as you know this net meets every day at 9 a.m. noon and 9 p.m. on the PSRG Repeater WW7PSR in Seattle Washington. The next one coming up of course is Jack's Noon or KI7RMU hosting that one. Don't forget there is a Zoom queue tonight at 630. Let's see, what else we got going on? Oh, don't forget that the Simplex net is every Saturday night at 8 p.m. and that is at 146.56 MHz. So you know, hey, go out and try your hand at Simplex. That's what this is all about. So it's a lot of fun. So go check out the Simplex net at 8 o'clock on Saturday. And don't forget, it's at 56, not 55, so 146.56 MHz. There you go. All right, let's see, moving on. We've got a couple of things coming up November 8, the next PSRG Educational Meeting. And it's going to be all about satellite communications and contacting the ISS. I think that is going to be an absolute \u2014 got to go listen to this one. So it's a Zoom meeting. It's at 1.30 in the afternoon on the 8th which is a Saturday. So go check it out and yeah, see what you think. Coming up, okay, this is this Sunday I think it is? Yeah, the 25th. Isn't that Sunday? I don't know. October 25 is the next rain or shine net and that will be at Gasworks Park. There are maps and all kinds of good information about it. It's the new net, not the 9 a.m. net. So the new net will be there at Gasworks Park. And if you go out to the PSRG.org website, yeah, all this information is out there. This is Season 7 Episode 6 of the Rain or Shine Net. So go check that one out. I think it's going to be an absolute hoot. I wish we could be there. It just didn't quite work out this time. So what can you say? All right, coming up December 13 is the PSRG Board Meeting. That is also a Zoom meeting at 1.30 in the afternoon. So go check that out. October 31 of course is Halloween. November 1 is fall back.

So I'm still working on my perpetual organizing my apartment and clearing up boxes and so forth. That will never end, so I'm going to stop talking about it for one more month. I'm going to mention that once a month and that's it, until the day that I actually get everything all straightened out and which day I will celebrate and buy a round of soft drinks for everybody in the group. I guess that's all I've got. I've got a big day planned. I'm going to call it the customer's late afternoon. And things are finally coming back a little bit with the work from China. I've had several projects that customers were just not doing anything about for the last six months because I think of uncertainties with tariffs and everything else.

So this is quite a lovely morning actually. I'm just sitting down, kind of getting my footing back in the work day right now. We also have at the same time while that's all going on, someone is replacing our tanked water heater with a tankless water heater. Our water heater is just about at the end of life. It could probably go a little bit longer. I mean it's in fine condition but it's kind of the beginning of the range where they start to think about replacing it and with the discounts right now and the, well I guess we're not getting a rebate because we went with the gas tank, tankless water heater. We just wanted to, thought this now is a good opportunity to get that done. So we're going to have some of that work going on today. And then yeah, I don't know, that's about all I got going on.

Worked about 11, 20 and then I checked in on the late portion of the net. Down here cooling off. I'm going to take a shower. Did some cutting and cleaning outside. Blew out the sprinkler system which required me to walk around the house about a dozen times. Every time I started to see if it was actually getting the water out less dry, when I turned it on, three sprinkler heads obviously froze. And I had to dig them up and replace them and that's a big pain in the ass. So I made sure they were pretty much out of water. Water runs downhill so hopefully the lowest one was blowing just there and there won't be any more water in it. Anyway that's all that's happening here Jack. Going to have a little lunch and Kathy goes to the eye doctor to something. And besides that, not a lot going on. And it's supposed to start raining.

And they're right there next to the pointy thing. The pointy things and pokey things are on the same shelf along with the funky things. So yeah, they're all right there clearly labeled. You can look on your computer and it will tell you IL-43 on the left side, maybe on the end cap, yes. So check your customer service representative there at the hardware store. The other place if you can't find it at Home Depot or Lowe's, sometimes if you go to Michael Landon's you will find things there that other stores simply do not carry. That works for me often when I'm looking for some rare thing. I'll keep an eye out for pokey things in the future, however. So I just finished looking at the weather radar.

I want to find out what happened there. Jim was just finishing up his response to my question about the pokey thing. I was just ribbing in there about that.

And you know, playing her back on vinyl. And then I think Nelson Riddle helped her with one album, which I don't know that you can get that anymore, at least in the same form that it was, vinyl. Lush Life, Lush Life. Nelson Riddle and his orchestra, or at least the arrangements were by Nelson Riddle. And wow, what an album. Way long time ago. And I think I tried once upon a time, like probably five, 10 years ago to try to get it on my digital playback device in the same form, or at least the same, you know, here's Lush Life with the same tracks in the same order. And I think I failed miserably. But anyway, Lush Life vinyl. It would be almost worth it to get a new turntable. I don't know that I could still get a Stanton cartridge to do that.

She had that collection of bassists, you know, and she had the bass that everybody wanted to hear on their songs. She had the bass, Carole, Carole, Kane, Carole, you know who I'm thinking of, she had the bass that Glen Campbell played the solo on, on Wichita Lineman. And when he did it on TV, Fender made him a special bass that they painted on the color of red. Anyway, they made him a special bass because, well, you know Fender had to have Fender on the TV show. Fiesta Red, they painted it a Fiesta Red. It was a baritone guitar that they made sound like a bass and that's what he did the solo on. This is way too much information. But anyway, no it was not a live album. She might have done a live album with all those songs that I'm not aware of but the first one that came out, it was a series of albums that she did with Nelson Rudall and one of them was Lush Life.

And then the automatic, sorry, autonomous vehicles at the intersection take control of the traffic flow, communicating with each other and the signal. So anyway, yeah, that's very interesting. Anyway, so that's just part of it, but I thought I'd let everybody know what that fourth light is for. Okay, and not being proposed apparently yet here in Seattle according to Amy, as far as she knows. All right, well thank you, Bill. Hey, let's go talk to Mike now. Mike, thanks for being so patient. K1MVR, how are you, sir? I'm doing outstanding, just sitting here at work ready to get my day started. I'm not sure how I feel about all those autonomous vehicles. It looks like we're going to run into an issue like in iRobot or something like that where the car pretty much just does what it wants to do because somebody else is in control. I like to be in control of my car. It's probably one of the funnest things about driving is being the guy in control. So yeah, I'm not too sure how I feel about that. I mean the autopilot stuff is kind of cool every now and then, but I still like driving. Anyway, nothing new on the critter side of things. The little kittens are still just causing all sorts of havoc and confusion. So kittens do best. That's why you want to have more than one at a time because one gets lonely, one gets bored, and your stuff gets shredded. Two kittens can shred each other, and they will love doing it, and they have fun doing it. So that's my take on that one. And on the radio side of things, I was tinkering around in my shack last night. It's nice that I have the ability to transmit and stuff in the radio shack finally. And I was able to suss out the issues I was having with my digital modes. I got the Wires X up and running properly, and it looks like my digital stuff is starting to come along, at least at the Yacu radios. So that was definitely a happy, happy Joy Joy for me. And I did a range test. So I was connected to \u2013 it's not America Link, but it's another one of the really big ones out of Oklahoma, I believe it is. And I was two miles away from my house. I was able to get it, but like seven miles away from my house I wasn't. So I'm somewhere in between is where I lose connection to my repeater. Anyway, let's get back to the net.

It's just coming to 8.30 over here at the end. And as usual it's raining. It's the UK, well what on earth do I expect? But apparently we're having a storm tomorrow and it's significant because it has a name. I forgot what the name is now but there's a weather warning for my area for heavy rain and localised flooding. Yeah, that's K5. But it really affects me. I'm high enough above all the river levels and all the rest of it. I'm kind of at the bottom of the big deep slope but it's not an issue for me to build up the area. We've got plenty of bird drains and plenty of gravity. Well not quite at the bottom. So yeah, I was looking earlier to see if there were any self-driving cars. Oh God no. Oh dear, it's probably not being a passenger when somebody else is driving. Oh dear, I've been saving my own motorbikes for well over a decade. Only one still acting on the particular motorbike. I hated it, it's like I'm not in my control. Oh dear, watch out for that twig in the road. Slow down. I make a terrible, terrible backseat driver. The thought of having a machine in charge. Oh dear, that's even worse. I'm kind of having another person in charge. But a machine? Oh no, no, no, no. Definitely not. Call me a lug-eyed if you want to but yeah, there are certain things that we are meant to do and that's being in charge of driving, in control of driving and riding and that sort of thing. But yeah, it's just a personal, point of view. I was kind of remembering the fact that my machine was driving somewhere and I kept going to press the brake and I was the passenger and all I got was a loud thump from the floor. And it's definitely, it's driving a guy who looks constantly mixed. Your brakes are not working. He wasn't driving fast because he was not being in control. I mean that's the other thing actually, because I spent most of my time as a service engineer driving around the country on my own. I used to find having a passenger was an absolute distraction. You know, it's one of those things where the radio was just to shut the passenger off and suddenly I forgot to say it just quietly. I'm driving. Oh dear, dear, dear, dear. Yes, so I went completely destroyed by my cues off the radio. I think it's probably time for me to shut up. I'm here in the shot and I keep hearing the talk of kittens and cats and dogs and things and not to mention squirrels and things. I think it's a bit of a test and I think, nah, I've got the easy life. I can do what I want when I want. I don't have to worry about any other creatures, cats, kittens, dogs, boys, anything like that. I just enjoy being so lonely. It's great. Go with the likes, do what the likes, spend what the likes. Having said that, there is no, how can I put this, no simple issue about what I do and when I do it and how much I spend, which is probably not good. I probably should be supervised to a certain extent. Or at least just open up all this, remind you to think twice sometimes. Anyway, that's the rambling report from the Shire. Hopefully the weather's a little bit better over in Seattle. So back to you Jack and waving a hand to all the guys on the net. From the net, I was going to say, from the Worcestershire. Well, he's wet and miserable, Worcestershire. So back to that control, back to you Jack, from the L.L.P. Worcestershire. Alright Les, hey don't stray too far from the station there because I've got something to tell you. This year, I heard you say this storm may not affect you, but I might want to let you know that storm Benjamin, which is rolling in tonight and tomorrow, will bring gales and heavy rain which will impact southern and eastern England, including the Redwich area. So I know you said you're a little bit higher up. I know you've got backup batteries and all the good stuff to have in case your power goes out, but I would imagine with a storm that they named back there, I would imagine that you could have power outages, even though being a little higher up.

So yeah, it's not an issue, how can I put it, we have some strange currencies now together, there was one a few years back, obviously the areas were supplied with 3 phase electric and then it split down into single phases to deliver it to the houses to give us the mains 230 volts, I called this like the third 26 houses, and it was changing 13 years ago, where one phase went down and of course not all the houses and the streets were on the same phase, so all the houses had got no power and then the next door neighbours and houses up the street or down the street had got power, my house, we had a social media Facebook page to the street, it looked community-based, and I remember somebody put a thing on there and said oh the power's out, and I said no it's not, anyway what I did was I got a big extension reel, main extension reel, it wasn't raining anything up, I just put the end of the garage, ran it out to the front boundary and just put the thing on there and said look anybody wants power, but instead you can't put it into my extension reel in front of the houses, if you want to charge a phone or a computer, no restrictions, just come and help yourself, it was back off within an hour or two, I think the longest one we had was about 20 years ago with the substation caught fire, that was the first time we had had a fire, and we were off for about 4 hours, I had gas stoves, petrol stoves, generators, I'm not being prepared for any disaster, because I use it for camping, so worst comes to worst I've even got, what's it called, Russian pack heaters, you know you just put a plastic bag and put a bit of water in the thing, drop your Russian pack in, and ten minutes later there's steam coming out of it and you've got a hot meal, so you know, I've got no gas, no petrol, no diesel, no electric, I've still got these Russian pack heaters, so yeah, not a problem, not a problem, so it's not something we're worried about, it's there, and if it is there then yes we have the web is all to deal with it, but yeah, not that you're worried, I mean if I go down to the countryside it would probably be a more regular return to here and the town, how can I put this, not even worth mentioning, you know what's going to happen now, I said that, we're going to have a big power outage, but having said that it's not a problem to me, I have tins and dried foods, should power off for a long time and lose all the stuff in the fridge in the freezer, anyway back to you Jack, 2-0 LRB, so don't worry about me, I'll be fine, I'll be back, if the power can go off and I can still carry on, although nobody's noticed, only Jack 2-0 LRB."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-22T12:44:37+00:00","id":66711,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":66710,"text":" Hi Rich, I've got you.

That will keep the FCC happy. I'll be compiling with the stations it would like to check in, and then we'll ask for your reports.

I heard you on the noon net today. Get to listen for a brief moment. My schedule this year makes it kind of hard to tune in to the 9 a.m. and the noon net. But I heard you earlier, so no disowning you. And I don't know you for being asleep by now, especially if you're up at 4.30 and especially this time of year. When it's dark at 6.30, it's sure hard to stay awake. I looked at Brooksville and I'm like, it's only 6.30 and it's already dark outside. I know how that goes there, Bill. Glad to hear you're keeping yourself busy playing Marjor, reading, watching movies, and frequenting a good restaurant. There's nothing wrong with that, Bill. You'll just have to, as we like to call it, counterbalance. Counterbalance good food with exercise. That is always the key because life is too short not to have good food. You have fun this weekend, Bill. I know Brooksville will be there. I will not be there because I will be attending. I will be with you all in spirit, not very far away at Montlake in the stadium. I will miss you all. Have fun this weekend, Bill. Thanks for showing up early and helping out there. We'll talk to you again soon. Okay, it is 9.10 p.m. I am K9MLR.

Let's see here. I just watched a video on how they built the Golden Gate Bridge. It's just amazing the way they did that. They didn't have computers back then and simulated software and stuff. They were pretty good to pull it off. Here in the Bay Area today, it was sunny out and about 72 degrees today. Very nice day. The squirrels were running around eating the nuts they put out there. Pretty cool. I was talking to my neighbor who was in an apartment. A couple apartments saw down from me. We were talking and Rocky the squirrel came up. I knew it was him because he was standing there on his hind legs looking at us. He was like, are you going to toss me a peanut? I tossed him a couple of nights and he grabbed him and he was happy. You can sure tell he has his own personality. Great squirrel. Got me trained big time. Just reading today and trying to fool around. I've got my different tablets up with the weather for Seattle and LA and the Bay Area. It's kind of neat. I can watch the weather up and down the coast along with my weather radar that's out there on another tablet. It's kind of fun to be able to do that and keep an eye on things that are going on. Anyway, I have a screen up that's for earthquakes. It's amazing how many earthquakes the earth has every day. A lot of them are just like 0.1 or 1. Occasionally there will be a 4.0 and rarely the 7.0. It's funny when the 7.0 earthquake goes, there's a sound of a bomb going off from the software. You can't miss it. But the last one we had was up in Kamchatka off of Russia. Anyway, seeing what's going on in the world is fun to do that and just have that to look at through the day. With that, I'll turn it back to Ned. Thank you again for doing it.

Well, I had fun today. I had to look out the window and see all the things go by, or what I could see of, and how blue the sky was trying to stay, all the clouds that were floating around, and how crazy it was because it couldn't make up its mind. But then I decided to sit down, and between two machines I managed to unfortunately put my Windows 10 machine beast out of its misery because it won't update anymore, and it wouldn't let me factory reset it in order to just dump everything. So I had to do everything the hard way with that one. Now it is just sitting there as a thinky writing machine unplugged from the ethernet, so now it can't access that. So I did it that way. And then to my infinite wisdom I managed to get a couple of things put onto the small device. Crazy as it is, these Windows Surface Go 2 machines, they are small but they don't hold much memory, but I managed to get it to behave with what I wanted in there for now. And so that will do me until I can afford to get another big screen machine that can handle what I want to do on it. So yeah, I'm going to have to save again for some other stuff, and I won't probably be able to get it until next year. But other than that I'm doing fine, loaded up with coffee, tea, water. I think the other thing was apple cider. And for lunch and dinner I had something small, and I'm pretty sure it was leftover lasagna. Other than that, that's a scoop. I had a good day except for fighting with the big PC, but I got the little machine going, so that will do me for now. Other than that, that's a scoop, KJ7, the XM.

A couple of quick comments before I begin my report. Anne, as far as your book synthesis and playback, I didn't hear your complete report so I might be missing details, but see if you can use some kind of text to speech system and just load the folder up into something like FUBAR 2000 or a media player of some type, a different type of media player of some kind that can just play an entire folder. There are things like 11 Labs and 11 Reader out there which is sort of an AI voice based sort of thing. The problem with that of course is if you are putting hours and hours and hours of text through it, that is going to be not cheap to run. So definitely give that some thought. There are various packages out there for that sort of thing. As for the Shawn and your Windows machine, look into Windows 10 LTSC, the Long Term Servicing Channel.

And hello Megan. 7-3 to you both. Thanks for running the net tonight. I have a silly story to report on. My ham radio skills came in handy. My wife gave me a pat on the back that I never thought I would get. So about a year ago I got a new sit stand desk for our shared office. And she really wanted that because we shared the office space. We kind of rotate in there. And we're very different in stature. And she likes to stand more than I do. So anyway, about six months ago intermittently the controller for this desk would like, at some point in the day, move the desk up a half an inch and then back down a half an inch, and then up two inches and then back down half an inch. And it obviously made it impossible to really trust it when she was working. And it suddenly hit me tonight. I wonder if this is caused by like RFI going on, because it's a touch panel, not like a touch screen, but I think like inductive touch, kind of like maybe like a touch lamp would be. And I thought well, maybe this is caused by RFI. And so I went to the shed and grabbed the toroid and came in and told my wife, this is going to solve all our issues. And she said, what's that? And I said, it's a toroid. And she said, okay. And so I put the toroid on the controller cable. And so far it seems to be working. I have a hunch that if it is RFI getting on that cable and causing the desk to move, it might be from my inverter for my solar panels and battery system. But anyway, I was happy to have maybe solved that. We'll give it a few days before I declare victory, but I just thought that was funny. Anyway, the other thing tonight, I got the Halloween lights finally done. They were delayed because of what I'm going to call baseball madness. And yeah, I'll just leave it at that. Brooks, I share your sentiment about bringing up some childhood playoff memories, so that was pretty cool. But I got the Halloween lights finally done in the yard. The last couple of years I have used addressable LEDs for my holiday lights and it's really fun. So I'm going to kind of program some new patterns in there probably over the next couple of days. But anyway, that's what's going on with me. Hope everyone is well.

Yeah, it's happy Thursday, I was listening to Anne's problems, I was structuring the book and all the rest of it, I just had a mammoth four hour audio book session, reading an epic, or listening, sorry, to an epic novel, so I understand her pain, but yeah, it's how do you do these things, I don't know. I used to, years ago, I used to proofread technical manuals of industry, I was told I used to write them and I used to proofread them as well, and oh dear, you've got to have your wits about you doing that. Oh it's so easy to miss one of the words, but on the technical side of things it was more a question of does it adequately describe in enough detail the procedure that you want people to understand, and sometimes that can be difficult and it's nice to approach a subject that you know nothing about and think could actually do what the technical manual's describing, does it give me enough information to do it, quite often it didn't, because it was written by somebody who knew what the system worked and assumed that the readership would also have the same level of knowledge which would probably not protect the majority of people who got the manual, so yeah, interesting times. Yes, I really was led better this point, I had another cup of coffee, I had my cocoa at about 3am, about 2 and a half hours ago, and I was so drunk it didn't go to bed and I really shouldn't have, I just thought I'll just listen to the next chapter, I'll listen to the next chapter and that's the way it goes. No critical reports here, I was going to move the glass on Tuesday, and I was looking out for a distraction thing, it was nice and dry and doesn't discharge me every weekend, but I'll be watching as the opportunity came and I was distracted again, although I have to be on Wednesday because it's getting a little bit long, it's its final cut of the year, and then of course Wednesday the heavens opened, I think it was Tuesday night the heavens opened, and it's been continuous as a rain ever since, I either need to get webbed feet, or build an ark, one of the two, or even both, I need to get the last nose for the last time this year, and clean the mower up and put it away, greased and ready for next year, the blade all sharp and ready to rock and roll. But yeah I'm unimpressed by everybody I know to get back onto HF, because I spend all my time on VHF and UHF, with simplex and repeaters and coming onto systems like the QTSM. So let me get round to HF, so yeah, also a couple of other things I need to do, one I need to get a full license in the UK, so I ordered the study manual for that, so hopefully sometime in the future, hopefully in the near future, I shall have a different call sign now, and I shall have a full license so I can operate from Europe, but also I can operate remotely, which I can't do on the middle level of license I've got now, and most cows are keeping it up, putting it out, and I need to stick with it. But I'm in a, how can I put this, a majority of people who I'm with are trying to do this, and we sort of get together, we have a little stint for a few weeks, and then somebody can't do it for one reason, and then somebody else can't do it, and it all falls apart again for about six months. Anyway, that's the report from the Shire, so with that, back to that control, back to your books, from Timmy0, all those in the Shire."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-22T21:43:32+00:00","id":66788,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":66787,"text":" Well good stuff there Les, thank you for stopping by. I did not know that you used to write and edit technical manuals. That is very interesting. I remember taking a couple of technical writing classes in college and I work in a technical field of manufacturing tooling and so I appreciate folks like you that take the time to make sure that the manuals that we are looking things up in and reading are doing their job and adequately and accurately describing what they are supposed to for folks at every level. And no, I understand your sentiment about reading a technical thing as someone who is not familiar with it. Are you able to understand what it is saying? And I guess I suppose that would depend on if the technical manual is written specifically for someone who isn't supposed to know versus maybe a technical manual that is written for a technician who would be expected to have a certain level of understanding at least of different vocabulary and concepts and what not. Anyway, I am getting off on a tangent here but very interesting stuff. Maybe we will have to chat about that sometime offline. Anyway, good luck getting the next level of your license there. I kind of had Google here what the different levels of the UK licenses are and so I will read a little bit about that. But good luck with that and if you do end up getting a new call sign you will definitely have to come check in and make sure we get that all logged up so we all know who you are next time we hear your call out. Good luck with that there Les. Thanks for stopping by. You have a great rest of your evening or day I guess. Yeah, sorry whatever time of day it is over there. Not the same as here. Yeah, alright. I am Brooks at K9 BBC at 9.41 PM here on the Pacific Coast of the United States and so that is the end of my round. I am going to pass it over to my co-host Megan to read some announcements.

Come on by for a donut and coffee, check in the nets, and wear a costume if you're so inclined. If you can't make it in person, check in the Noonette via RF, Echo Link, and All Star. Saturday, November 8th is the next PSRG Educational Meeting at 1 30 p.m. on Zoom. The topic is amateur radio in space, operating ham radio satellites in the ISS. Presented by Mike, KBABNY. Learn how to work ham radio satellites using the modest equipment and an emphasis on operating the ISS. Access the onboard repeater, APRS, digipeater, and speaking with crew members will be covered, along with satellite operating fundamentals and, of course, what equipment to use. If you've ever wanted to operate ham satellites but thought it was too expensive or too complicated, you'll want to see this presentation. You can do it, KBABNY. We'll show you how. The Zoom link for this meeting is available on our website at PSRG.org. Saturday, December 13th is the next PSRG Annual Board Meeting at 1 30 p.m. on Zoom.

Alright back to the top, to Elaine M3OMO33. Elaine how is your Thursday morning going? November Quebec November, All Star Node 6222. Well good morning to you Megan and to Brooks and hi to Jack. Hello to everybody else on the net. This is M3OMO, aka Oink Blue Oink, where it is a nice morning now, about 80, probably 76, 77 degrees. It is 10 to 1 AM. Let me see, our new little kitten is doing very well. He's sleeping here beside me. He's seven weeks old, she is seven weeks old now. And she has been named Diamond because she found her like a diamond in the rough. She was out in the backyard headed towards the road when Bob was turning in to come home from work and she followed the car in and ran over to him when he parked the car instead of running the other way, otherwise she would have probably gotten hit by cars on the street. So I had said to him, no more animals. And by Friday night, two weeks ago, I knew she was the keeper. And she is a girl, we took her to the vet. She is seven weeks old now. And she is a sweetie, very feisty, litter box with no problem, has grown up into the bigger litter box down to the small one. And she doesn't back down from any of the other cats who are all bigger and much older than she is. And she just, if one of them hisses at her, she walks right up to them into their face and meows as loud as she can. It is so funny that she is giving us a lot of joy. And anyway, that is really about it from here. We are going to have our generator hopefully hooked up for tomorrow. So we won't have to worry about losing our electricity during storms or thunderstorms or heaven forbid any more hurricanes, which we know is going to happen. So I finally decided to bite the bullet and get a generator so we can keep the electricity on and the house cool and better for all of us, including the cats and one dog. So thanks for taking my call. And 73 is 88 to all. November 3, Oscar Mike Oscar."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-22T21:51:34+00:00","id":66801,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":66800,"text":" Good evening to everyone out of that.

So I'm headed back up here this way, Des Moines today more deliveries I'm not I mean I'm getting out of here just pretty much the same time in the morning and I left an hour later I left the two instead of one and you know I'll get up here right after the first stop right around almost seven o'clock. So I stopped just about fine but I could have gotten here earlier because there was one store that opens up almost an hour earlier and we have a majority of freight and if you get there any later than like 730 eight o'clock we got oh excuse me installers they come in and the place is so tiny and there's very little room to maneuver 19 Wheeler that it's almost impossible to get in so then you got to wait around for a while right now we got five drops on this truck so if I thought I'd get up here I'm gonna be at roughly five hours. Only got a 14 hour day right and I know there's two other places that I'd be kind of difficult to get out of you can just click time considering but I only have so much time I got to start heading back to Kansas City by no later than one o'clock. If I asked the travel coordinator says you know if you just switch this one drop to here I know I can get everything done with ease. Mind you this drop is only four miles out of route. She wouldn't do it. She goes nope I could flip it that way but I ain't gonna do that because it's against the rules. Okay that's fine. So last drop is not getting off which is probably the most important drop out of all of them. I'll get there and they usually take an hour so just even one roll of a pallet one hour. And my stomach get there a little time and plus an hour that I have to spare. I'm headed home and I don't feel bad about it. Gotta work for these people. Okay now Trump asked them. I watched a video yesterday of them with bulldozers tearing up the White House and that made me just sick. I mean I was telling my wife this is a historical building. I mean you wouldn't go to Abraham Lincoln Memorial and put a fucking excuse me put it away. I apologize. The ballroom. And attached it to his memorial. I mean that's that's history right. So why in the hell would you do that with a White House. So kind of perturbed about that. Really aggravates me. And I think it aggravates me even more that really nobody had anything to say about it in Congress. Like no you shouldn't do that. This is not your house. Like you said yesterday. It's not his house. He's just there temporarily. But alright that's the end of my Trump passing at least to this session. Back to back control.

I'm not even American, but when I look at the destruction of that east wing, I'm thinking to myself, this is deplorable. Like how in the hell was he even allowed to do that? Like it's like this guy came into power and all of a sudden all the rules and the laws and the procedures, everything just went out the window. He started signing executive orders on day one. Troops into cities that don't want him. I mean the atrocities that ISIS committed. And now apparently ISIS is going to be getting some more military like equipment. Apparently they ordered some system from Israel for monitoring phone calls and stuff like that in like mass amounts. Something that Biden thought about getting himself and then decided against it. But yeah Trump's got that now or ISIS got that capability now. So nobody in the states is safe. And you got the government's private Gestapo running the streets just taking people at whim. I don't get it. Doesn't seem right to me. I mean what do you do? I know they say if you don't like what's going on stand up and protest. Well there was a friggin protest last weekend with like 7 million bodies or something. Okay so there was like a 7 million person protest across the entire country. So did that just not make a difference? Did it not matter in any way? Like is the man still going to do what he wants to do every day? Including tear apart a historical building? Disgusting.

It went up from $200 million to $300 million. It's going to be more expensive than he originally projected. You know, I got up this morning and I saw something that I've gotten very used to in almost 10 years I've been living here. And that's Atlantic twilight. Because we're right on the ocean here, it lights up and the light goes through the water and it's conducting, you know, over the curve of the Earth. So before the sun gets above the horizon, the whole sky is lit up, all the water is lit up, and it's pretty wild. I put a picture of it up on Discord for your viewing pleasure. And it's just, you know, it's an amazing thing. And I remember it used to really blow my mind when we first got here and then I just got used to it. So I thought I'd share that.

But now it's starting to get that almost like a smoke when you have bare branches that almost looks like smoke from far away. It's pretty cool. It's really a nice fall. And I still have got to put together my list for what I have to do today. But I'm sure there's a lot. We're going into town. We're going to get haircuts. That's the first thing.

I have no words, but thank you. We're up in Korean. We got up here yesterday and there's a lot of drivers sitting around. So I went, eh, I probably not going to get a load today. I didn't get a hold of the shop there in West Valley, the dealership, and talked to them and they said that you were going to be checking out the EGR cooler, either the EGR cooler or the EGR cooler sensor. I'm hoping it was just a sensor. And the DPF, which stands for digital particulate filter. I always call it the DPF filter, but the minute you're saying diesel particulate filter, filter. So that's just the way it's weird. So the DPF, diesel particulate filter. So hopefully maybe today or tomorrow. They were supposed to send a quote on it yesterday over to Swift and I called them Swift, couldn't get a hold of anybody in the shop over there. Left a message, didn't hear back from them. So I'm going to call the dealership again this morning. Seems how Swift answering me. Either that or I'm going to, if we get a little bit goes south, I'm going to stop by the terminal there real quick and go into the shop and talk to them and see what they say about it. I hate to keep bothering the dealership, especially since now they're the one doing the work. Don't want to get them upset with constant inquiries, especially since they're dealing with Swift directly. So they're already talking to them and then they have to talk to the driver too. I didn't want to make myself a nuisance. So that's what's going on with the truck. I'm hoping today or tomorrow because I want to have to wait another weekend. And then we drove around the town last night, Brigham City, historic Brigham City. So my student could see it. And then we went down to Asian Fusion Buffet and got something to eat there and then went over to Walmart. I had some earrings to return. My wife wanted me to get and she didn't like them. Didn't like them. That's funny. It's early. It's 5.30. So 5.53. Not as early as it was in Phoenix. Whoops, I'm the grand one. All right. But still early. And I was in some really nice deep sleep when my alarm went off. So much so I didn't even hear my student get out of the truck. I messaged her but she hasn't gotten back to me. I know she wants a shower. So I asked if she was ready for one and she never got back to me. So waiting on that too. But so I got that earrings returned and then I was inside. My student has got an older iPhone and I didn't have the right, well I have the right cable. She's got the cable but I don't have the right plug for the outlet because I have USB C's outlets. So but when I was inside the store they had this little battery. It was a cool little battery. Well it's a 5,000 milliamp battery by Anker that has this little lightning port that pops out or lightning that pops out so you can plug it into your phone. But it gets charged with a USB C so you can charge it faster. And it was on clearance for like 11 bucks. So I was like hey, hey. So I bought that for her. And then they had, I've just got the quip, the new kind of quip toothbrush that has the oscillating head. And they had the, a bunch of heads on sale. Because they come in two packs and they're only 20 and they were 15. I went oh, that's 750 a head. So I was going to say something but after I said it in my mind I didn't want to say it out loud. But so I got some toothbrush heads. Got some, so got about three packs of those. So that'll last me about a year, year and a half. So I got that on the cheap. And they had also on clearance a magic keyboard. The kind for the iPad, the one that has the that holds up and opens up and you put the keyboard or the back you know magnetically connects to your iPad. And I've got an iPad case and I don't really use the keyboard that much. Or the keyboard, it was on sale because it was normally I think $349 or $379 or something like that. It was on sale for $269 and I'm just like do I really need it? Do I really need it? Do I really need it? But then I was looking at the iPad or Apple store and they have the same I think keyboard for regular price for $269. So I'm like well, you know, I don't really need it. So I didn't get it. Anyway, back to you. Keep on the list."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-23T05:00:52+00:00","id":66834,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":66833,"text":" KJ5 IOT good morning good morning.

I personally wouldn't mind if it stayed like this for the whole day. Nice and quiet. Yesterday was a beautiful day in Texas. Today's going to be a little warmer in the low 80s but I'll take it. I can see on the horizon some high 60s in the forecast. Now I'm getting excited. This is the second best time of the year. So yeah other than that we ain't got crap going on. I don't know if I told y'all but we had some work done to the house here recently and the painters were here the last few days. We painted the whole outside. Not the whole outside. All the wood on the outside not the brick of course. But we had to take down all the Halloween decorations. So I guess that's what we're doing this weekend is putting them back up. Tell you what, I fought long and hard to last as long as I did without putting Halloween decorations up only to put them up I have to take them right back down. Oh well that's half the fun in it right putting it together. So we'll probably be doing that starting probably tomorrow. We'll probably do that over the next two or three days.

Well, good morning everyone. Good morning, Rinald. Nice to hear you again. Just sipping on some coffee. And this sure beats what I've been doing lately, except the pay is not well sitting at home. But, I've been finding underneath comics is a place where I was working. They take these condoms or those first-use spray containers and they weld together. One of them I'm working on. They welded three together. And the other one I'm working on, they welded three together. And then another one on the other fourth and they may have sides open and build rooms. So, these two little items are the ones that build rooms. And also, these two little industrial mobile options. If you watch my book earlier in the week, you saw an early morning pan of the site that I was working on. And you could see the asphalt plant, you could see the tower, you could see front end motor and trucks and all kinds of stuff. So, man, it was a tough. I've been there off and on pretty much for two weeks and crawling and laying there. And, man, I am sore. I'm just so sorry. I'm to the point now where I'm thinking about leaving and maybe, you know, if I leave, I'm going to give up a company truck. I don't think I'll get another company truck. But, oh, man, I can't handle this anymore. And we have a lot going on here in Illinois. And a lot of data centers going up all over the place. And these data centers, there's a lot of work involved in getting them up. And OSHA is involved. So, there's a lot of safety. And I don't think they have ladders. I think everything you work on is off the line. And so it makes it a lot easier, a lot less on the body, especially crawling around. So, anyways, I'm just about better. And it will be a definitely uneasy feeling if I'm going to switch. I've been here almost four years at this place. And I'm just about ready to get up here. I've been here almost four years at this place. And I've never really felt the love here. But it looks like we're getting ready to hit a slow spot. And last year I sat on unemployment for two months. And the year before that, I sat on unemployment for two months. I'm not ready to sit down right now. I'm still recovering from my hip. I need to keep moving. If I don't move, my arthritis, it hurts, man. When you don't move, that arthritis comes back. So, I got a lot to do today. I'm going to work in the garage, do some cleaning. I'm going to load up any scrap metal I have, any copper, any whatever I have. I'm loading up. I'm going to the scrap yard today and cleaning out my truck of all my scrap. And it's been accumulating. And then if I have time, I'm going to definitely go through my truck and try to pull. I've got stuff on there that, I've had this truck since 2011. And I've got stuff on there that I haven't used. So, I'm going to look into what's mine, what's not mine, what I might use for work. And I'm going to start to try to, if I can get some of this stuff out of my truck and into my garage until I can figure out what I'm doing with it. And something that I really don't care about, I'll just leave in the truck. But I want to get my tools together and stuff because I'm thinking that I'm leaving and going somewhere else.

If you don't hear me, Daryl, just pass me, and when it's my turn again, I'll get to talk then. But don't presume that I am gone, because I am not. I am just busy. So, couldn't find the door out of this warehouse. It was walking the wrong direction. It walked right into a wall. You're talking about the No Kings protest, I think it was, Daryl? You don't understand what might, what good comes from it, because nothing's changing? I always think there's something good of it. It's people speaking out, exercising their constitutional rights. The peaceful assembly. 2,700, um, uh, protests that were going on that day, uh, across America. And, uh, it's telling them something. They might ignore it, but it's telling them that they're not happy. It's also telling people that disagree with them, why are there so many people out there? Why are they protesting so much? What's, what's going on? And that makes them check out the facts. The ones that don't want to protest, they think they're going to be okay. Alright? Maybe, just maybe, it'll change their minds. And then there'll be even more people on the No Kings protest, which they're going to have a third one, by the way. I hope it continues every, quarterly for the next three and a half years. But anyhow, that's what I think is good, how good protests are. I think they're a good thing. I've always believed in that. And, uh, it's good for them. I wish you could have gone this last time around, but things got a little bit too busy with me taking care of my life. Anyways, back to that control, KB0MA.

I'm going to switch over to my headset here. Let's see if this works. I think it worked. I switched over to my headset. I took my headset off because I was washing my face, getting ready to shave. It's kind of hard to do with the headset on. Hopefully, I don't know if Peter is listening or not. Apparently, he wasn't listening enough to catch his call sign, but if he is listening, make sure you charge those batteries all the way up before you try flying with him. Make sure you charge the controller up all the way before you fly with it, just to help with the batteries. Then, he said he got the Mini Pro 4, which is the one that I would have got. They do have the Mini Pro 5 that's out, but the 4 is good because it's got 360 sensors on it. He also said he got the Mini 3. I don't know if he got the Mini 3 Pro or just the Mini 3, but I don't know why he did, unless he was planning on flying the 3 until he crashed it and kind of got the hang of it and then did the 4. I just don't tend to think that they sent it to him for free or by mistake. So he paid for it. Those things, depending on if you get the extra batteries or not, those things cost $1000. So that's a lot of money to be throwing out on something that you may or may not want to, you know, and I agree wholeheartedly, but one would be great. I would definitely, if I repeat it, think about getting the headset that can't go with it as well because playing that drone with the headset is just a whole different experience. So I hope he has fun and I hope he doesn't get too crazy with it because they're expensive to fix and once you crash it, you know, it's down. You can't do anything with it. That's maybe why he got two. So if he crashed one, he could still fly the other one. Remember when I crashed mine into the water, what did I do? I ended up going and buying another one.

You stand at the stove, and you can take a piece of hash like the size of a fingernail, and you burn it on the burners of the stove, and you inhale from the point of the knife, like you use the knife, you put the knife underneath it, I guess.

Yeah, when I came back from California that time, I had like a $2,000 roaming bill on my usual $38 phone bill. So I love that, like a headache. Okay, I'll turn it back to whoever's still on the mic.

Today was shave day. Now that I've grown my beard, I shave underneath my beard or my neck and stuff. But I only have to do that once, twice a week. Because my hair doesn't grow on my beard very fast. It was always a disappointment when I was younger and I tried to grow a beard. It would just take forever because my facial hair just did not grow very fast. Which everybody kept telling me, oh, you're so lucky. But when you're trying to grow a beard, it doesn't feel very lucky. And but got that done. And I'm trying to, here we go. I have these under armor socks. And they have R's and L's on them. So you can always put your right sock on your right foot and your left sock on your left foot. Because your toes stretch out the front. And if you have a sock that you wear a lot on one foot, then all of a sudden you try putting it on your other foot. It just doesn't quite fit right on the toes. Especially since my big toes are much further forward than my little toes. So having these L's and R's on my sock, I like it. Probably one of the reasons why I like the five finger toed socks too. Because you're only going to put them on one way. The right one is not going to go on the left foot. Because the toes and the little things on the socks don't line up. So there's all that useless information. Just killing time. I'm wondering if I'm going to get out of here before my student does. Some students take a little bit longer than other students. Sometimes they don't take hardly any time at all. I feel like the slow poke in this situation. But we haven't received the trip yet. So there's no hurry. After I get done with this, I'm just going to go get something to eat. So I can take my pills. I've got so many pills. Vitamin supplements and everything else. And a couple of them. If I don't end up eating something right before or directly after taking them, they end up causing problems in my stomach. And I end up throwing them back up. Whoops. Let me grab one. This is repeated. What a note to end on. What a note to end on. I'm going to throw up my burrito. So yeah, I'm going to get something to eat. And then take my pills.

Feeling you KZ. And thanks again Grey, much appreciated. Yep, Dewey was outside, I don't know, maybe five minutes and had a bird already. He had a mouse last night in the stairwell. I have like concrete outside my door where it's a basement apartment. There's like concrete. It's like two little walls that like form almost like a box outside my door. So I look out the window, Shadow is headbutting me right now. And he's headbutting the radio. Anyway, I looked out and Dewey was out there, it was like a cage match. He had a mouse. Shadow, you can't go headbutting everything on the desk, but he will knock stuff over on me here. Yeah, I know, your cues. So anyway, it was like a cage match. He had a mouse out there and the mouse would jump, but he couldn't jump high enough to get over the wall. So Dewey was out there playing with him and he was doing every time the mouse would jump, Dewey would jump and grab him again in his mouth and do a backflip and he slammed the mouse back on the ground. I went out there last night and the mouse was done for. I mean, he was out cold. Well, he was dead, but he was out cold. So just now I saw him doing the same bloody thing with a bird. When I went out the door to get my kid in the car, he had a bird out there and he was letting it fly away a little bit. And then he jumped at it again and get it and beat it to the ground. He must have did this like five times in a row. I think to myself, Bud, you're lethal. And all of a sudden I thought like, maybe all these mice and birds that are in this little closed area outside the door, maybe this is Dewey and maybe this is his plan. Every time he catches something, he runs into that little area with it so it can't escape and he beats it to death. So Dewey is probably should have deserved a lot of the credit for the animals that I've been giving Shadow credit for. I've just been figuring it's been Shadow because I mean, he's so large. Now this morning, Shadow won't go outside the door. Weirdly enough, I mean, two of these cats, they normally run out as soon as I open the door in the morning. And Dewey did. Last night, Shadow was gone yesterday for like seven hours or eight hours and he's never gone that long before we reset."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-23T05:53:49+00:00","id":66883,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":66882,"text":" I went to Costco with Dad yesterday.

Oh my God, what a good sausage. Anyway, my point was, I went out yesterday afternoon and when I was leaving to go to Costco, he still wasn't back. And when I got back from Costco a couple hours later, he still wasn't back. And then here comes like, you know, eight or nine o'clock last night. I was like, I'm going to put a post on the Facebook group for the neighborhood saying, you know, if someone let a large black cat come in your house, he's super friendly. And if someone has him, you know, just let him go and he'll come back home. Because he will be outside the house if he's invited in, he'll go in and have a look around. It's just shadow. He's explored it. It's just the way he is. So anyway, about two hours later, he came back and there was these meow outside the door, like he was being pursued by something. And I opened the door and he ran and he jumped up on the couch right away. And now this morning he will not go outside. So I don't know if someone did have him in the house, or if there's an animal out there that he was chasing or hiding from. I don't know. But he's here on the desk now laid down and he wants nothing to do with going outside, which is very, very strange for shadow. All right. After Bill, we're going to Josh. KJ5IRQ.

We have a couple of those. There's a lot of birds down here. I mean, there's just a lot of them. So I like squirrels. I'm not a big bird person, but I love squirrels. My life is just the opposite. I still have squirrels in the backyard, even if they're cats. Sometimes the cats will get a squirrel, but most of the time the squirrels are faster.

There's a little conversation going on in the back, and it's about Christmas lights, Halloween decorations, that kind of stuff. And I'm suggesting to Josh that he use projectors instead of hanging lights, because hanging lights is a pain. And there's two things about it. One, you got to get up there to hang them. And the second thing is when one goes out, you got to figure out, you need to take the whole string down, which is what most people do. Or you have to try and replace the bulb that's out. These are LEDs, it'll be a long time before it happens, but you never know. And with a projector, it's much, much simpler. You stick it in the ground, you turn it on, decorations are rough. So I don't know if I'm going to win, because I'm really actually up against Josh's wife, who wants what she wants. So this new system called From Guppy, and it uses all these LEDs, and they're dialable for color, and broken up into sections and stuff like that. And they look very cool, they really do. But it's still got the same two problems for me. So back to you. V01 UKZ, this is KC2 PKG. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7. This is the band, is it the Ultra that you use?

Like all the center links. I love those metal bands, you know, those real heavy ones. You know, and it's got like a clasp and it opens. And when you close it, you fold it over and it like snaps into two things, you know, opening. You just pinch the two things together. It's one of those. I love it. I like to have a nice bit of weight in my watch. You know, it feels substantial to your wrist. That way if you're not wearing it, you kind of remember really quick, hey, where's my watch? But I only charge it like every day and a half or so. When it gets low is when I charge it. I just put it on the charger. In about an hour, it's like fully charged and it's good to go again. So like another day and a half. And that includes like sleeping overnight and, you know, the scatter. Well, I wouldn't call it a workout, but, you know, if I get out of the ellipse, go for a few minutes or something, you know, here and there, it detects it all. It's just a really good detect. And Bill has the new ring, the Aura ring. And I think that is extremely cool as well. You've got all those body health measuring metrics right on your finger. I mean, watches are great. You can look at them and get all your info. But if you don't need that, then you're just comfortable using that app on your phone. Well, the ring, I think, is the way to go. At least it will be.

So it comes handy when I'm writing or texting or just having a conversation and I need to think back of a day, of a date, especially if I wasn't around to even notice it.

It's nice to hear something chime up and say something when, you know, the house might be a little bit still. Because it does get, when it's just the two of us, it gets creepy, creepy quiet. And at times it is. Because my roommate, like okay, when I'm living in Toronto, my roommate, Gabby, sometimes goes visiting. When she's gone, then yeah, we got the neighbors upstairs, but they're not noisy every minute. So there's always these times where it is creepy quiet. So the calculator and the watch keeps that in the perspective. Anyways, okay, back to you Daryl. Yep, I should be here till the bitter. I think so. I'll try so. So back to you. All right, cool Kevin. Sounds good man. Keep that list wherever you are. And yep, my watch will announce the time as well. See if I can get it to do it. All right, God damn it. I'm trying to hold the HD and get it to do it at the same time. 10-53 AM. It's pretty quiet. You just have to tap on the screen with two fingers and it gives you the time. It doesn't announce it every hour, but you've got two options for hourly on this thing. You can just have it beep or you can make it make a bird chirp noise. And I can make a bird chirp noise. It's just like a little tweet like a bird would do. And yeah, very effective. I don't really want it to announce the time once an hour. My repeater does that already and I don't like it.

I came with a little tool to take the four links out and I got it. So that makes what? Five, six watches in the last week, two weeks. I got, well, Timu was doing that sale, so I found some watches on there and yeah, I got that red watch with the gold stripe down it and but that one is like a lighter metal. It's not heavy. It's nice light. It's metal. Might be titanium or something, although it might be probably aluminum of some kind because it doesn't have a lot of weight to it. So it's nice. It's light. This new one that I got from Walmart is heavier and five bucks. I just couldn't pass it up. It's a nice watch band. It has a nice release mechanism on it. So we'll see. Maybe I'll stop back by there, pick up another one and find itself in the mail. Lost. Somewhere in Canada. Or where was that one? Brazil? Remember that package I sent you? Went to Brazil and came up to Newfoundland. However, that worked out. Chicago. We never know how them Chicagoans are. Maybe Rick can get a job at the post office and fix that. But yeah, I use it a lot for recording workouts and checking. I've got a stress thing on there that lets me know if I'm stressed or not, how my heart rate's doing and stuff. And then keeps track of the activity circles, keeps track of how many times I'm standing. Keeps track of my sleep. Like you, I only charge it when I need to charge it.

I've got some motion ones that when you look at your watch, there will be motion in the background. And my stress level is great. But yeah, I stopped wearing a watch a long time ago and I swore I'd never wear another watch and then they came out with the smart watches and I started wearing it and now I can't picture myself not wearing one.

There was also another one on chemo that I saw a while back, and I didn't end up getting it because I just didn't have the money at the time. And then I went looking for it after it and couldn't find it again. It's like a silver band, but the stripe down the middle, like the middle links are gold color. The band itself is silver. I thought that one looked really nice, but I haven't been able to see it since. We don't get all the same cool stuff on Canadian chemo that you guys get in the States. Like I can't order a TV or a dirt bike on chemo. You guys can in the States. Not sure why, but we just can't. All right. We're getting down to about half an hour left here.

It's like a stretchy bracelet. It's like you just stretch it over your arm, and then it just goes straight back in. That's the size of your wrist. I like that one too. I don't wear it often because it's black, and I don't want to scratch the paint off it. But these silver ones, I really like them, and they look really good with the watch.

If all of it is Samsung, then you got a really cool ecosystem. They all work really well with your phone. They work really, really well together. And the same thing with Apple. So, the Apple devices, they work really, really well together. Like, for instance, my Apple Watch unlocks my Mac. But if I'm in sleep mode, like if my watch switched to the sleep focus, which it does at 10 in the evening, well, quarter to 10 in the evening, then it doesn't unlock my Mac. Which is really cool, because if I went to bed, you know, if I was letting someone in the house use my computer throughout the day, let's say, and I'm sat in the same room, and the computer locks, and they go to unlock it, they don't need the password. The watch will just unlock the Mac by itself. But then once I go to bed, and if someone was in my living room, they couldn't just unlock my Mac and use it. Or the watch wouldn't unlock the Mac while the watch is in sleep mode, which I think is an awesome feature for security and whatnot. And the same thing with my phone. I'm supposed to be able to keep my phone unlocked with the watch, but that doesn't really work right. I don't know. For some reason, it just doesn't work right. It keeps either wanting my face or a PIN number. I don't know. Maybe it can only unlock one device or keep one device unlocked at a point. I don't know. Anyway, we're going to Rick next to K9 PFD.

I'm not having to drink as much water. I'm not as thirsty. I'm not getting up every hour in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and drink more water. Maybe I should use it anyway. I think I keep it. Last time I brought it up, I think I re-did the firmware on it. I try to keep it up to date at least. I've got it with me. Maybe I'll pull it out this weekend and try to start wearing it again because I kind of like it, especially for the sleeping.

It'll show that there's people walking around in an absolutely solitary cemetery at night. And I'm thinking it's an Easter egg, personally. I've seen several videos of this where they're driving through a graveyard and they show the screen of their car. And it's clearly, you can clearly see on the screen that there's bodies walking around outside your car. But people are like, ooh, it picks up ghosts and spirits and blah, blah, blah. Nah, it doesn't. This is something that they're doing as an Easter egg or something to mess with people. But I haven't been able to find any information about it.

Today is Thursday and I have completed my first week in my new senior facility here in Mesa, Arizona. Excuse me, yesterday at dinner last night I met a lady named Marilyn who moved here in April after losing her husband early this year, I think she said February. The reason that I mentioned her is we got in a conversation and it was really, really nice. She is independent living as I am but is not comfortable living alone because she has some disabilities and so things like cooking and cleaning the house would be difficult for her. It turns out she was an English teacher for a little over 30 years I think she said in Nebraska, but somewhere in that general area. The conversation turned to some of her experiences. The reason that I mentioned the conversation with her and being an English teacher is one of the comments last night and I so relate to this.

Marilyn said she's just appalled at some of the language she hears today and she wasn't referring to the foul language, you know the S word and the F word and all that kind of stuff, although that was discussed last night. It's the poor grammar that people are using. The younger kids apparently are not getting a good education so that's where our conversation was. I can relate to her because I've heard people say that, you know, Sally gave I and Betty a birthday cake last week. When I hear that kind of stuff I just cringe and that's exactly what she was talking about. The education level of the teachers is lower and going lower and she really had difficulty with that. I'm not going to beat that to death but you get the idea of our conversation. It was a really nice conversation last night.

Yeah, but go watch YouTube videos of people getting caught by the cops and they're like, come on, man, ain't got it, ain't got nothing on me, you know, that kind of thing, you know, improper English.

So we are kind of just spending some time today just sort of enjoying talking about science and learning about black holes and space communications and light speed communications, all those good things.
