Oh wow, Io and Europa tango together across Jupiter three times. We missed those transits. We got Mercury and Mars to make a brief evening appearance and Venus dominates the morning sky. Plus, the flying Orion immediately, which occurred during the dark of the moon, so that was about a week and a half ago. It's from Astronomy magazine, October 2025, pace 28. We still have some stuff up there as well. Such as Mercury. Mercury will be at its greatest eastern elongation, about 24 degrees east of the Sun tomorrow evening. So that's going to be about as high as it's going to get in the western sky right after sunset. So check that out. However, we do have Mercury setting about 655 pm by month's end. So you need to get out there 30 inch and see if you might be able to spot Mercury. It will be about as high as it's going to get, which isn't very high above the western horizon. Mercury moves from a constellation of Virgo into Scorpius. It's actually about 0.1 on the 31st, so it's actually shining fairly brightly to be spotted the next several days. So you might have to pinpoint binoculars initially and then you can point a telescope and see. I have a fat crescent, Mercury, in the western sky just above that horizon. So you'll definitely need to clear western horizons about that."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-28T18:29:15+00:00","id":71001,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":71000,"text":" Again, a quick tutorial on magnitude. The magnitude scale is an inverse logarithmic scale, meaning as the magnitudes increase, the brightness of an object increases to about 2.5 of the nearest object with a 6th magnitude under optimal conditions. So a magnitude 5 object is 2 and 1 half times brighter than a magnitude 6 object, while a magnitude 7 object is 2 and 1 half times dimmer. For those of us who live in the cities, about 4th magnitude is about all we're going to see with the naked eye. Any magnitudes greater than that, we will need telescopes or binoculars just to get through all that city lights and hate and all that kind of stuff. All right, continuing on. We've got Venus. It's setting about 6 AM by month's end. Look for Venus to the east about an hour before sunrise. Venus moves from the constellation of Leo into Virgo, shining at magnitude minus 3.9. And then we've got Mars. Mars is setting about 6.50 PM by month's end. So both Mercury and Mars are very, very close together by the end of the month. So take a look. You might be able to spot them both, possibly, in the binocular field of view. Mars moves from the constellation of Virgo into Libra, shining at magnitude 1.5. So Mars is actually dimmer than Mercury by a factor of almost oh, twice. Oh, no. Let's see. Almost two magnitudes. Oh, well, magnitude and a half for sure. So we're looking at five times dimmer, or approximately that. But take a look if you can see them through binoculars or a telescope. Mars is a discernible disk, while Mercury is actually a fat crescent, more like a gibbous planet, like the moon is in gibbous space, where it's not. And that's because of its proximity to the sun. We don't see Venus or Mercury in a full state as we do the full moon, when the sun is further out from us. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven, November, Quebec, November. All star node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. OK, you'll have to stay up a little later for this. We've got Jupiter arising about 1045 p.m. on sand. Look for Jupiter to the south in the early morning hours before dawn. Jupiter is in a constellation of Gemini, shining at magnitude minus 2.2. So you should be able to see that on a flat eastern horizon. Oh, about 1115. But it's still going to be in the, not the twilight haze, but right along the haze. It's a very thick atmosphere at those lower elevations. So wait a little while before you take a look at Jupiter's escape. We've got Saturn, rising about 4.15 p.m. by months end. The Saturn low to the east in the evening sky follows across the sky all night long. Saturn moves from a constellation of Pisces into Aquarius, shining at magnitude zero, and then into the night. Dark Saturn is visible towards the southeast. And given a little bit while longer, around 10 p.m. or so, you'll see it towards the south. Definitely Jupiter and Saturn are visible in the evening and late evening skies. We've got Uranus rising in the evening as well, about 653 p.m. by months end. But for Uranus to the southeast in the late evening, Uranus is in the constellation of Taurus, shining at magnitude 5.6. And we've got Neptune also rising about 4.15 p.m. by months end. Actually, it rises about four minutes after Saturn by months end. So these two are very close together. Look for Neptune low to the east in the evening, just northeast of Saturn all month. It's in the constellation of Pisces, shining at magnitude 7.7. So we've got seven magnitudes dimmer than Saturn. So you'll have to work at that one for sure. You definitely need a scope for that. But they are fairly close. So you may be able to catch them around 10 p.m. That's when they're going to be about highest in the southern sky."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-28T18:30:24+00:00","id":71002,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":71001,"text":" This is KI0AR at control, astronomy continuing. Core planet. Oh, let's see. Was at opposition back on the second rising as the sun sets. It's just now rising about 5.30 p.m. in the evening. Ceres can be spotted low to the south near midnight when it is highest in the sky. Ceres is at its best viewing for this year, this month, or in October. Let's see. Ceres is in the constellation of C, shining at magnitude 7.7. Actually, that's shining at the same magnitude as Neptune. So if you can find Neptune, you might be able to find Ceres as well. Ceres is about an hour, about an hour, an hour and a quarter behind Neptune. So still, stay up late to see if you can spot that one. We've got Pluto. Pluto was stationary back on the 14th, meaning that it needed to be close relative to the background skies. So we're in the spot Pluto setting about 11 p.m. by month's end. The best time to spot Pluto will be in the, actually right now, in the earlier evening, in the sky to the southwest, Pluto is in the constellation of Capricorn, shining at magnitude 15.3. We've actually seen different magnitudes for that, around 14.4 to 15.3. So either way, very dim. You need very, very dark skies. And with the moon up there, your chance of spotting Pluto is pretty darn close to nil."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-28T18:33:10+00:00","id":71003,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":71002,"text":" Meteor showers. We've missed the Draconis meteor shower. That one occurred October 10. However, if we catch the tail end of the Orion, this meteor shower extends from October 15 to the 29. The matulum actually occurred on the morning of the 21st. These meteor showers are fast. So you might see some fast meteors streaking from the constellation of Orion later in the evening. But you're not going to see too many of them. It's winding down pretty quickly. We do have the southern torids. You might see a few of these. This meteor shower is active from September 10 to November 20 maximum occurs on the evening of November, or excuse me, on October 10. However, the maximum hourly rate was near five meteors per hour. Meters are described as bright and move more slowly than typical. So those are still very few and far between. So if you happen to be out on a dark night, you might see a southern torrid streak through the skies. But I just say good luck with that. Comet C2025A6L is passing through the constellations of Canis, Vanetes, and Veruttes low to the west during the last two weeks of the month, shining around. Actually, now shining about 4.5 magnitude. A three inch telescope or greater in dark skies will be needed to view it. Actually, a pair of binoculars will spot that one. In fact, I spotted it last Friday with binoculars and then with the telescope. It was actually a big, tough ball with a little hill. And I did have one of my other fellow observers, one of the adults with the IaaS, took a picture with his cell phone and got a pretty decent shot of it as well through the telescope. So that was a little tricky. It's right back where it should be in the early evening hours. And we also have Comet S1 as well, weighing the scope about 90. What cost of lighting? Well, I did spot about 6 and 1 1 2 magnitude.

I like this particular website, www.heavens-above.com. And if you're looking at it over on YouTube, you'll notice most of the ISS passes are in early morning hours before sunrise. We do have an interesting nice high pass coming up on November 2nd over the Denver area. At 5.13 a.m., the ISS travels from the northwest to the southeast, peaking about 87 degrees above the north-north-right. Nearly overhead pass. And I'm going to pull up that particular pass and show you one reason I like this particular website, is I can get a nice star chart of that particular pass over the Denver area. I do recommend that you guys do sign up for that and log into it, and then you can put in your home coordinates, get much better timings and more accurate timings and passes for locations there. For a lot more than just ISS passes, you can check that website out. www.heavens-above.com. You can print out a nice eight and a half by eight there, and take that outside with you as opposed to trying to figure out where it is with an iPhone or even an iPad. It won't be too bad, but an iPhone or something with your cell phone is kind of difficult to try to figure out where that ISS is.

Because of the government shutdown, JPL is not posting any news. They're kind of running a skeleton crew over there, just keeping things going. So the last thing they're working on is news, unfortunately. But I do have other sources in this one, space.com. This particular item, let's see. Is the universe infinite or does it have a limit? If the universe is expanding, then what is it expanding into and what is it expanding from? After a century of observations spanning the breadth of the cosmos and theoretical insights that push humanity's vision of the universe to its utmost limits, we can confidently say that the universe is infinite or not. It's complicated. Let's start with something we can say for certain. We live in an expanding universe, but if the universe is expanding, then what is it expanding into and what is it expanding from? Where's the edge of the universe and where is its center? It's easy to imagine an expanding universe and there are plenty of analogies to help guide our thinking. We can imagine drawing little galaxies on the surface of a balloon and inflating that balloon to see the balloon get farther apart. We can imagine baking a loaf of bread with raisins and seeing how, as the bread rises, the raisins get farther apart. But the balloon has both a center and an edge and the bread has a center and a crust. So where is the center of the universe and where is its edge?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-28T18:44:15+00:00","id":71008,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":71007,"text":" Here is the uncomfortable answer. The Big Bang has no center and it has no edge. How can this make any sense? Let's start with the center. Where did the Big Bang start? Right here and right there and in the next galaxy over. The Big Bang happened everywhere all at once. It had to happen everywhere because everywhere is by definition part of the universe. It was not an explosion that occurred somewhere in space. It was an explosion of space when the expansion of the universe first got started. It was not a place but a time. Now what about the other side of the coin? If the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into? Where is the crust in our expanding loaf of bread? What is the oven where we are sitting in? This is going to get weird. I don't even want to say sometimes alike or something like the universe isn't expanding into anything because that still conjures up the wrong mental image. It's too tempting to imagine a wall or boundary with galaxies and stuff on one side and nothingness on the other. It's demanding to feel that nothingness. But that's wrong. Even the vacuum of space is something. There are still points, locations and existence. There is no outside of the universe because outside implies existence, even an empty one. But the universe is by definition all there is. There is nothing to physical reality except the universe. Walls separate one region from the other. The universe comprises all the regions simultaneously. If there were an edge, you could imagine working hard enough to get outside that edge. But that's not possible. There is no outside. There is no space. There is no universe. That's it. Lots of questions on that one. Make you scratch your head a little bit. Think about this. There are lots of questions on that one. Make you scratch your head a little bit.

So, think about this. You are the center of your universe. No matter how you look at it, you are at the center. And so, when you are out there looking at the stars, you can look in any direction and see just this. You know, five or six feet or however tall you are. But if you can see through, how the opposite side of the earth you could also see millions and millions of miles, however far you can see in space. There. So, think about that. Every point is basically the same. You are the center of your universe. I am the center of mine and vice versa. Enjoy wrapping your head around that. That is it for this evening.

Last Friday, I was here in town, but I went out there first to find that. We found Comet Lemon towards the west, and it was nice, like I said, green with a tail.

We saw the telescope, and we went south, just above Capricornus, and looked for Comet Swan at about six and a half magnitude. It's actually dimmed a little bit since then, the seventh magnitude tonight. Spotted that, that looked like a fuzz ball, not much to it, and it's moving away from the Earth.

There is a third comet up there, but that was at magnitude 14, and I can't push my scope to that.

Very glad to not have a round to myself. This is KA90HV. So I am contemplating doing experiments with books. So it turns out you can write a scene with various characters in it which has a certain objective. So objectives are things that you want the various characters to make each other do. This is actually a game they play in improv workshops where you pick a paper out of a basket and you get put with a partner and your goal is to make your partner do whatever the paper says without mentioning it. It has to be indirect. We do this in real life with sales actually. Every conversation in a store ought to be a conversation with the objective of sales. So your scenes have objectives too. And it turns out that a scene with a particular objective might go at the beginning of the book or it might work just as well at the end of the book and something, some little bit of wormy curiosity has got my mind wondering if I can figure out for any given scene in any given book where the author actually wrote it for first and whether I think it actually stayed there. Anyway, some of us have too much time on our hands. 733388. Thanks Paul for doing the net. Thanks to all of you for listening. I love you all.

Yeah, that's a four-letter word even to me. But it's fun to ski on and other things. So I'm sure those who are going up on the hills this year will have fun if we get a whole bunch of it there. As to here, I don't know. Kind of hit and miss in that regard. But I am inside, staying dry. I'm listening to all of you.

So maybe I get all this off the TV, but I thought I'd just come in with my part. These weather stations are great. Down in Los Angeles today, on my other weather station, they were at 93. Yes, 93 today. And then for the Bay Area, we are down about 68 degrees here. So right now it's 62 degrees here, and the barometer's going up. Anyway, so the squirrels are running around, as usual. I had to order some more nuts and peanuts for them, and I've been going through them pretty quick. So I had to order more than I normally would. So they're hungry little guys, but they're fun to watch, and they earn their keep. I watched the Dodgers tonight, and they lost, and both teams were pretty thinned out from the 18 inning game yesterday. I wasn't too surprised. One or the other was probably not gonna do well.

I went up to the marina there in Kingston, or here in Kingston, and walked out to the very end of the public dock. There was a very peculiar boat out there at the end. It's the Valkyrie. Valkyrie is a model, or maybe reproduction of an old Viking sailing ship. And there it was. And I talked to the skipper. It's a 56 feet long boat, single mast, and you had to see it to really appreciate it, the craftsmanship that went into it. And I think it was all hand hewn wood. Really something to see. So I think they're going to be setting sail for Anacortes. The guy told me that they'd be taking it out of the water and storing it. I don't know if there's more work to be done, but quite a sight to see. Valkyrie. Here you go. That's all I have. Don't take it on the chin, folks, because of the low turnout. I can remember 20 years ago, some of the nets, it was only a 9 a.m. and a 9 p.m. And we'd wrap up often in 20 minutes with six, seven, eight check-ins. So who knows? Maybe we're returning to that.

So I was still living with my parents. And so I searched all throughout the house, like, what can I use? And I found this little digital, I guess you could call it a watch? I mean, it took, you know, you set the time on it, but it was basically a little keychain thing that came in the McDonald's Happy Meal. My little sister got it. It was part of some promotion for a movie. So I used that for like a year and a half until I upgraded to a Casio that I found on the street at like 2 o'clock in the morning.

Yeah, watches can be a fun rabbit hole to go down, and I started looking at watches that were far out of what it might be likely.

There's some of the Timex watches, but yeah, Citizen and Seiko are a nice entry into an automatic watch. Some pretty cool style and lots of opportunity for something that \u2013 and of course it tells the time, so it's useful and yeah, that's something to take a look at. Let us know how it goes. If you've never seen, there's a great website \u2013 I know it's on a computer \u2013 but a great website that shows the inner workings of a mechanical watch.

A warm good evening from the countryside up here in Monroe, where fall is in full effect. Beautiful fall orange and yellow colors out here along the river. I live kind of up the valley from the Skykomish River out here. It's a pretty place this time of year. But I have to say, K7 MOX inspired me to check in after a bunch of QRN on the HF bands. I thought, well, what's going on over here? And I saw \u2013 I don't check in here often, but I heard some wonderful check-ins and I thought, okay, I've got to say something. I've been in New York the last week and just listening to folks check in just makes me happy to be home. There's just something so authentic about us Seattleites, and I know there's folks here from outside the area, but I don't know. There's something special about us Washingtonians, I guess. I don't know what it is. I'm going to take a bite. So anyhow, today was a day of connecting \u2013 today was a human connection day, so I suppose this is the cherry on top. But I started the day meeting a whole bunch of new people and it could have been a hostile situation. I'll be honest, I was appalled by some conversations I heard this morning and I just decided to be tolerant and listen. And I thought, you know what? It doesn't matter what I say or who I disagree with. I need to start with a relationship and then we can take it from there. So that's what I decided to do and I'm looking forward to building those relationships and engaging in some deep conversations with some folks later without getting into details or politics too deeply. I think that's a good place to put it. And then I had a really fun afternoon also being a connector and a relationship builder. There were two gals that I felt needed to know each other and I helped facilitate a happy hour and the three of us just had a really awesome time in downtown Snohomish over a glass of wine tonight. So anyhow, a really authentic human day. So with that, wishing everyone the best, 7-3. And back to you, Paul.

My second net today, the first one was 11 o'clock on the Lake Washington repeater, 5 lot, handheld from Paine Field area. And I was a little surprised I could get in, but they said I was coming in pretty clean. So I was happy with that. And probably enough that was on UHF, so from Paine Field to Kirkland on UHF. I thought that was kind of cool, 5 watts. And here I am back again and 3 made me totally lose my train of thought. I was going to talk about something else, but now I want to talk about watches because I think they're kind of cool. I can't remember not having a watch since I was a boy. And I've got a collection now that's very modest, like 3 watches, but I can't go back and forth between a Timex Expedition and a Seiko dive watch automatic. And I like both of those for different reasons. The Seiko is a little dressier, a little fancier, but the Timex is kind of awesome because it's quite thin and fits under my motorcycle gauntlet. So I can get my gloves on easier when I'm wearing that watch. I've also got some different straps for that including some NATO straps. If you haven't heard of a NATO strap, it's just kind of a different design, but you can look that up and see. But I highly recommend the Timex Expedition. It sounds like what 3 wanted was something kind of no-nonsense and relatively inexpensive and if you break it or scratch it up too bad, you can replace it, not feel too bad about it. That's kind of how mine is, but I've managed to take good care of it and it's lasted for, gosh, I don't know, a couple of decades. It's in good shape.

The humidity was nice and cool for us and it was just a beautiful day. Not much else going on. I had to go to dentist today and that was always fun, but I did have a nice surprise. I didn't owe them anything because I had paid for it last time when I went to get my teeth cleaned. This time all I did was have them grind down the lower partial plate for me because my gums were getting sore from it. So they took actually a Dremel and just made it a lot better and smoothed it all off and now it's good. So all the babies are doing well. My little kitty, the seven week, eight week old, is doing very well. She's still very, very feisty. If some of the older ones will kiss at her, she'll walk right up into their face and meow as loudly as she can. I think it's so sweet. And they just kiss back and then walk away. So that was the end of that. She is a feisty and gets into everything, but she's really cute. Her name is Diamond because we found her, my brother found her out in our backyard close to the fence leading out to the road. So luckily he found her and she followed him right into the house and she's been here ever since. It'll be two weeks on Friday. So she's a good little girl. That's about it from here. I have not worn a watch in about, oh maybe 10 years. And don't miss it because I can get the time on the phone. There's clocks all over the place. I just haven't worn a watch.

I'm just finishing up what's been basically several months of work now. I've been taking over an automotive repair shop business in Duke Harbor. And the business, it's been running since, I think the 60s is about when it actually started. And it became a fair-sized business in about the 80s, 90s. And with it being a business so long, I think the biggest technological improvement they made was somewhere in the yearly 2000s, they picked up the new software. But basically since then, nothing has changed on the technology side. And so like everything is still paper, everything is still handwritten, everything is still on the phone, written down, and then a piece of paper passed. And we're a company of five people, so we kind of need the efficiencies. So I've been working on bringing in some modern improvements, like allowing people to get hopefully business online and get text and email reminders. And hopefully take off some load off the service writer, hopefully. But man, has that been an adventure because I'm going to find out these little niche markets like auto repair. The big companies have these stranglehold on software and technology. And man, do they like their money. And they basically have you pinned into a corner because there's not exactly anything you can do because they own everything. So yeah, that's been a fun adventure trying to make software from the 90s where it's like at least 2010. I finally did get it set up, sort of. You can at least schedule appointments and stuff online and on your phone and get email reminders. But man, do they charge a lot of money for the invoicing software to see it and have that direct tie in. It's been an adventure. Both the business side and the reviving, not reviving, but creating more efficiencies, leveraging technology on a platform that has been running for so long. Yeah. This is KK7, and go in.

Yeah, it just connects a bit with what Lisa was saying about the COBOL programming there for this old software stack that kind of continues around. It sounds like you said they were doing a lot of stuff manually, but a lot of stuff they have to do. You know, with very, very old computer technology, nothing like having those old full-size keyboards. Some of them still have mechanical keyboards that they've been using for all that time, covered with the protective rubber thing that makes it impossible to type. I'm picturing, I know this is probably not quite the case, I'm picturing monochrome displays, text-only interfaces, but I'm sure it's unfortunately a bit beyond that. Sometimes those interfaces are better than the old graphical interfaces.

Some may accept, yeah, for viruses and flu and whatever because the immune system is low. So, yes, the stomach bugs, it doesn't want to leave me alone, you know. It gets to a stage where I'm also like fully dehydrated. I didn't even find the activity to put a drug to fight the flu. So, yeah, I must say, as far as the immune system goes, it's tough. So, that was not the best place to be. Back here. Yeah, well, I know sometimes if my stomach is a feeling right, I'll have some Tums or something like that that helps. Sometimes there's indigestion. You know what? I learned that about Mexican food when I went to that fat bastard burrito. And yes, that's what it's called. It's called fat bastards, like I think with an S, or I'm not positive, burritos. And I had the runs forever when I went there. It's like I'm not even going to really go all that often. It's obnoxious. And, you know, Mexican food kind of has that reputation. I don't know if I had indigestion like where I, you know, I was hurt, but it just gave me the mad runs. I just kept going to the stalls all the time. So that was that. And then today, it's like I'm almost tempted to go there. I really like their quesadillas, but no. I don't know what I'm thinking about today. Maybe a slice of pizza or something, but I'll figure it out. And yeah, about the munchies. Well, we get the, like the kettle popcorn, the kettle corn, it's like you really only need a little bit, right? Like a few fingers worth, and you can almost make an entire bowl, plate, whatever you want to say, right? So we have these big huge bags. Yeah, it's enough to have popcorn for forever. It's enough to, like if you were to actually heat the whole bag, it's enough to have an overflow, an overflowing into the kitchen and the hallway and then the outside. So yeah, we've got popcorn for days. So once in a while, yeah, one of us, she particularly, she likes popcorn, will eat some of it because we've got enough to go forever.

Those things are gonna suck up some more gas. They probably ain't gonna make it there. How far could those things go? Motors they got on them are gonna suck gas like crazy.

So the Canadian government key data page states that seizures by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, CPP, at the Canadian-U.S. borders represents less than 0.1% of U.S. fentanyl seizures between 2022 and 2024.

Over to you, VA3KKY. Hey, not too bad. I'm looking forward to November. Even though I can't stay because I got tons, tons and tons of hours of work that I was kind of being naughty and not doing because I wanted to play on the pre-net and I certainly did. And so I'll listen to a few overs when I'm on key but I'm going to get busy with it. And one of the local libraries that Debbie works at, Marsha's Sister, in part of the month of November or at least a big part of it, she's going to do like a sort of memorial for Marsha. So I'm going to look forward to that. I'm going to bring my phone. We'll have some music and some things to reminisce with Marsha and the few of the people that use the place for school activities and after school activities. So she's making me a part of that coming up for the up and coming month. I'm going to really love that. We'll have a lot of afternoons hanging out at the library and doing some presentations and just basically reminisce with Marsha. I miss her but I'm glad her sister came with us along here. Because you would usually hear me telling you, like when I'm in Toronto, we'd always get together and I'd tell you little things about when we hook up at the George Square Mall and stuff like that. Now, yeah, a little treat after I get at least five, six hours of work done will be I'm hoping probably as it gets towards noon, like maybe 11, 2 or 3 Eastern Time at least. So there's a lot of hours there I can borrow. I'll probably think of going to grab something at the Metropolis Mall. Somehow I got visions of maybe fried chicken or I don't know. They have this one place that's kind of like the two-headed dog restaurant in Toronto. It's different though and they might have a, well I like their tenders, their chicken tenders and a few other things. So that's something I'm thinking about after I finish work. And otherwise, had a lot of fun with the pre-met today. Yeah, you can never tell right now as a matter of fact. You can never tell if I'm AI. Somebody might have killed me and just assumed that Kevin AI. So like there's anything in it for them if they did that, right? I mean you'd want to assume somebody that's going to be worthwhile that you can trick people with. I don't think Kevin's going to do it. But anyway, some blindy in Canada that no one's ever really heard of because that's why I became a ham op. So I can make believe that I'm involved in broadcast radio. I'm really not, right? I'm someone that was too lazy to get into it. So ham radio kind of gives me that validation. So like I could tell the general masses, see this is funny we talked about it with Darryl yesterday. Like how you explain yourself to non-hams. You know, I could basically make up anything I want and they believe it. It's divided in two ways. Non-hams basically just kind of see this stuff here, us, as an extension of CB. And they barely even know what it is. They think CB is like the police have. They'll say it wrong, right? Well I know what CB is. The police have CBs. And even the taxis too. Well unless they mean the Mexican taxis which operate sometimes on CB. Or those when they used to have the CB shops like at the truck stops. They don't know what they're talking about. And I think once or twice I ran into somebody that kind of aligned it in terms of some kind of broadcasting. They were still wrong. But they were closer to the truth in that we are walking radio stations. Because we're call signs but we move. So there you go. So yeah, you never know if that's... Well I don't know would AI Kevin admit that much? I mean the real Kevin will tell you that he's a loser in broadcast radio and that's why he comes to ham. But would the AI Kevin admit that? Don't know. Well chew on that. Ponder on that. I am out. You have a good net, Gray. I'm definitely positive that it's in good hands. I've heard you operate way too many times to rebuke the fact. So with that, have a great day. High and bye to the group, everyone else. All the masses, all the user base. Peace and back to you Gray. V A 3 K K Y.

But so we're going to, as soon as I get my, rest of my laundry dried, we'll take off, go up to Curran and pick up a load and go somewhere and then come back. And if my truck is here, then we'll stop and switch everything out. If my truck is not here, then we just keep going until it is. So that's what's going on. But it's better than what the people in the office here at the shop told me because they said they had gotten an email and they were waiting for some kind of resolution from a warranty department on certain repairs and the repairs hadn't been done until that got cleared up. So it sounded like it was going to be next week. And then when I went over there, I talked to a guy and he says, Oh, no, you'll have it back tomorrow. And I was so excited about having it back tomorrow, I didn't specify morning, afternoon, or evening. Not that he would know. He could have given it to me today or yesterday. I'm sure he probably would have given it to me yesterday, which means he didn't know when it was going to be available because when I went out to the truck, I grabbed my jacket out of there and I looked at the repairs. I guess a bolt came off of something, went through the turbo, and then replaced the turbo on the engine, as well as some other repairs that they did. So it's just seems like it's all done. I mean, I don't know, there might be something else I need to do, but it seems like it's all done and they're just waiting for certain things to process. So we'll find out.

Hurricane Igor, it was absolutely brutal. It tore up roads, it flooded parts of the city, it cut off dozens of communities, literally just wiped out the highway that joined them together, whipped out the main highways and COVID's overflowed.

It is forecast to bring life-threatening flooding there before striking the Bahamas later today. Melissa came ashore in Jamaica as a category five storm, tying for the strongest hurricane landfall on record in the Atlantic. The extent of the damage remains unclear.

So something needs to be done. Unfortunately, like I said, without the city stepping in and doing what they're supposed to be doing, they've kind of forced the hand of the federal government. So while I'd rather have the cities do it themselves, I don't fault the government for protecting their employees and protecting the people. Even though they're part of Portland or whatever other city, they're United States citizens and they deserve equal protection under the law.

National Guard, the President has the right to be able to do certain things for emergency situations, flood and rescue and protecting government buildings and so forth like that. That can be done. That's not a problem. However, if it's the US military, it's a totally different situation. Pasi Comitatus Act of 1878 forbids us from doing that and the whole law came into effect back in the Reconstruction era of the post-Civil War and it went so badly for them that they finally decided to pass a bill that it would not happen again. Now there are some exceptions to the rule of putting the military in place and it's only been done from what I've seen three times. In 1957, Little Rock, Arkansas, Eisenhower brought the 101st Airborne in for desegregation because there was a lot of crap going on at that time. Los Angeles in 1992 for a hurricane verdict and in 2005, another hurricane, Katrina. And you know how big of a mess that was and even then with all the stuff they had, they still couldn't take care of these poor people down there in Louisiana, right? However, you know, so it's basically illegal for Trump to do this unless, and he's been talking about this a lot, he wants to enact a law saying, well, here's the whole thing, is to convince people for him to be able to do this, let me reset real quick. He has to convince everybody that there's a real problem going on in the United States and that everything is completely out of control and that's part of this from the truth right now that you could ever possibly be. So he's trying to make up this storyline so that he can start the Insurrection Act and once he can say he's going to use the Insurrection Act, that he can move military troops in the Indian city, in the nation, all 50 states, right? And you don't want that. You do not want that because military are for fighting wars. They're not for policing and they don't look at terms of, okay, are we doing the right thing or not or are we following the Americans, you know, constitutional rights or anything like that. Their deal is to infiltrate and separate and kill. You know, that's basically what they do. That's what they're trained for. They're not trained for police. But still it goes back to the first act is very important and it's a law that's been on the books for a long time, the Posse Comitatus Act, right? So no, I don't think this is a good idea at all. I think it's fabricated. I think it's a way of, he's doing politics more than he's doing anything else. It's a way of control and to silence dissent. I mean, once he brings his troops out there, let's say he won't stop acts like the No Kings Acts, which have been completely peaceful by using military troops and how many casualties are we going to have there? I think he's trying to test the limits of his power. You know, that's what he's been doing ever since he's been in office and so far he's been successful, but eventually it's going to have to stop. You know, I don't want to get it to the point that we have military troops on the ground. People's rights are being violated that are innocent and there's death everywhere. That just doesn't sound good to me. And it's also, you know, it's a strategy to control the elections coming up. You know that that's exactly what he's been trying to do. He's done several things to sway everything to the Republican side. So, you know, I'm starting to wonder if we're going to have elections that are going to be fair. And that's just the legal abuse of it all. I mean, Congress gets to get up there and start to object to some of the stuff he's doing. And I'm not talking, I'm talking both sides. They got to work together. They got to start taking our country back. We got instead of the view of just, you know, it's our side of their side. No, it's you're working for the American people and we need to get this under control and get back, get America back on track without a madman doing all the crap that he's doing. So I don't know.

However, if it's to stop people protesting, quietly protesting, I think that's not right. People should be allowed the right to self-protest no matter what. It's just to go out in countries where there's free speech. The UK summer last year I noticed there was a bit of a protest at the weekend and it started to get quite serious actually between immigrants and UK citizens and I think the pollution seemed quite heavy. Yet I understand why we don't want violence but on the other hand peaceful protest should still be allowed to go ahead. It's a right of these countries, it's what our grandfathers and ancestors all fought for. So really it's down to what the police thought it was for. If it's for a security reason, for public safety, to equal a terrorist attack, then yes. If it's to stop peaceful protest, then no.

That's what the stated reason is, but there is some lip service to fighting crime as well. So that's what we're being told it's all about. Just so you know. Okay. Well, I wouldn't say that was a resounding no, but it did lean towards the, I don't think that's a good idea side of things. All right, let's turn to another question here. And Amazon announced it was cutting 14,000 jobs. And this is not in warehouses, this is in their corporate offices. And it begs the question, as, and these are going to be replaced by AI. In other words, they can automate systems and get rid of them. And they have bigger plans to automate and robotize all of their warehouses. Now looking a little wider, with a wider lens than just Amazon, other companies are going to start doing this too. If they can be effective, if they can replace their workforce, especially their lower level workforce with AI, we're going to have a lot of people who aren't working. They're going to lose their jobs. I mean, locally, this will be very difficult for places where this is happening, Amazon corporate offices. They think they can go from 14,000 to 30,000 in the next six months. So it's a lot of people out of work. What should we do about that? That's what the question is. If people are getting replaced by AI, what can we do? What should we do about it? We'll go to Peter first. VE1WIN. Peter, people are going to get replaced by AI. What should we do about that?

The companies are going to be using that to try to bring down costs and they're going to have to bring down costs because no one's going to have a job anymore so they're going to have to bring down the cost in order to be able to sell their products. It's a double-edged sword I think. It's like the buggy business. The buggy business was driving there for a while then all of a sudden cars came out and the buggy business went away and then the next thing came along. They had all these people working in warehouses and I think a big loss in the warehouse section, especially in the United States, wasn't overseeing SEA, wasn't outsourcing their capacity but a lot of it was, or some of it anyway, was automation. They were able to have machines come in and do the work that the people were doing so they ended up having to learn other jobs. It's a progressive thing where some new technology comes along and makes an old technology obsolete and if that was your job then you got to find a new job either in the new technology or doing something else. It's progressive but it's something we all have to eventually deal with and I'm glad I'm at the towards the end of my working career and anything after what I'm doing now is going to be just supplemental and it'll be some easy stuff, a whole lot greater or something. I don't have to worry so much about AI but definitely younger people have a whole different set of skills and separate things they have to learn and do in order to earn a living.

Back to Bill for a second, Bill. One of the things I always wanted to do before I got out of trucking was operate a 379 Peter belt back in the 1980s. I love that truck. I love the hood. I love the chrome. I love the big tanks. I love the big smokestacks. I love the inside and all the gauges, the analog gauges. I just thought if I want to end my career, I'd like to end it on a positive note and maybe get into a peep for a year, not any old peep, but a 379 peep and finish off my career that way. Have fun for a year. I don't think that's going to happen now, but hell, you can't even find a 379 peep out here very often anymore. So the big old kitty cat, well, it's actually a big kitty cat, the one I was looking at that I liked. Anyway, I just wanted to mention that. Now on to the question. I think the world, not just the United States, but the world is sitting in a pot on a stove and they're slowly turning up the heat. We're not going to notice it until it's too late and then we're just going to be cooked. The question you said, I looked at on Discord and you said 14,000, but there could be more. This is just the beginning. You're right, 14,000. I'm going to get rid of them right off the bat. But the whole premise of Amazon is to get rid of as many employees as possible. I did some research and basically they're not going to lay off a lot of people, but as people go, they're going to replace them with AI. So they're predicting that Amazon is not going to have to hire 600,000 jobs by the year 2033. I was looking, okay, how is this going to affect our economy? Well, the overall plan, it's going to be like only one-tenth to two-tenths of a percent that the unemployment rate is going to go up unless you live in these major cities or state like Kentucky, Indiana, and Texas. And then you're going to see a two to five percent raise in unemployment. But mind you, this is over a long period of time. It might go faster, it might go less, but I mean 2033 is not very long away. We're talking seven years, right? And so these people have to find new jobs. But the problem is that it's just not happening with Amazon. It's going to be happening everywhere. Anything that they can get done by AI, they're going to use AI because it's cheap. They don't have to worry about benefits, taking medical leave or workman's comp or hourly pay. And that's going to be very enticing to a lot of employers. So I'm not talking just blue collar workers, I'm also talking low level white collar workers too. So I predict in 10 years things are going to be getting kind of bad unless you have a higher education, masters and doctorates and stuff like that and jobs that require a lot of thinking, intelligent thinking that you have to put in emotions and experiences and all that."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-29T05:43:30+00:00","id":71373,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":71372,"text":" Sorry, did I, when did I cut out?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-29T05:46:14+00:00","id":71374,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":71373,"text":" You hardly cut out at all. So I didn't hear you time out. Okay. I put a new timer on this thing and it automatically tells me I've gotten to my limit. I apologize for that. But anyways, back to what I was saying, this is going to include not only blue collar workers but white collar workers on the low range. So this is going to be affecting people from telemarketers to bank tellers to anybody that works at Walmart or Kmart. I keep going into my Walmart and they got robot sweepers in there now. Well, they could have Walmart greeters in there too and Walmart security guards and anything and everything. I mean, it's going to get to the point where we're going to need half the employees that you already have at Walmart or McDonald's and this, that, and the other or my own industry. That's going to change a lot. I guarantee it. I've read up a lot on it and I don't think we got maybe 15 to 20 years before most over the road trucks are going to be driven by AI. It's going to be autonomous trucks. And this is just not going to happen. United Space is going to happen in Canada and Europe and Africa everywhere. It is going to be probably one of the most significant things that happen in the next century altogether. And it's going to be a whole different demographic. It's going to be a whole different power structure. I mean, this is really going to change our world. And there's going to be a lot more people out there and a whole lot less empathy for these people that don't have jobs. I also see the world, the way people interact with other people, it's changing too. And I think by the time this all happens, nobody's going to get it. The people that do have stuff are not going to really give a shit about the people that do not. I mean, I'm talking, I don't even know how to describe it. I don't know the proper word, but it's just going to be so weird, so different, so unusual, so life changing for a lot of people. And a lot of people won't really notice because I look at my grandson. My grandson's going to see a totally different world in 20 years, but his kids are going to see even more of a totally different world where it's just blue collar labor and low to medium white collar is just not going to be there anymore because AI is doing it all. So it looks kind of bleak. I'm with Bill. I'm grateful that I'm just about out of it now and I'll retire and live another 10 or 15 years and then fricking die and not see all this crap happen to everybody. But anyhow, sorry about that. Didn't mean to take up all that time.

It seemed kind of dark and that's exactly why I asked that question. I want to see if there was a sense of dread out there about it and if anybody wanted to try a creative solution, how are you going to take care of all these people? That's more of where I was going on this. I'm hard up for a Christmas present suggestion from my wife for me and I went back to an old one, the Amazon Astro which originally I didn't get because I just couldn't see it being that useful, just another device that hangs around and does nothing. I went back to it saying, I wonder if it's improved or what they've done. They had an Astro for business and it's being discontinued. I don't know if the Astro for home and it's a little three-wheeled robot with a screen that moves and has periscope with a camera on it so it can see on top of the counter and stuff like that but it didn't fly off the shelves. One because it was $1500 and I guess there just wasn't a lot of interest in it. I was tempted, I was very tempted but it looks like it's getting cancelled. Now maybe there's going to be Astro for the warehouse over at Amazon so we'll see where that's going. D, KM4LBF. Amazon is maybe starting a trend. They're getting rid of 14,000 lower corporate end jobs from their offices and replacing them with AI. What do you think about that and what kinds of things can we do to make that easier on the people? When I was a manager, 80% of the cost of any project was people and we're always trying to do it with less but people are expensive as George pointed out. They go on vacation, they have medical expenses, usually another 30 to 40% on top of their salary is the medical side, the insurance side, that kind of stuff. What can we do about that? What should we be thinking about when AI comes in and all of a sudden a lot of people don't have work anymore?

When it comes to the people that is taking the jobs away, there's certain jobs that they cannot take away, and that's manual labor. You do need some people to press some buttons. Things that has to be manually done are where the needs are going to be. I've been through a couple of generations. In the 90s, I took a job in a facility that I was sitting next to lawyers, doctors, and here I am. I couldn't believe it because I only have a two-year degree. These people were lawyers and doctors, sitting in the same spot, doing the same thing as I'm doing because that need at that time was where it was at, so that's where everybody goes. If you have a serious ego problem, then you won't have a plate of food. I went from New York to Pennsylvania because I wanted to raise my son in a better place than what was going on in New York City. No one would hire me, so I had to go to a hotel and clean toilets for a couple of months before I got different jobs, different jobs. People recognized me as reliable. Then I got the jobs that I wanted. It's going to be the same way with anything else. You got to go with the flow, and if you have a serious ego problem, then you will starve. You will get whatever job it is that you need to get food on the plate. That's what I've done through the years.

That has to be the best and coolest thing for accessibility that I've ever heard of. But it's priced outside my range. Like everything else, it's a simple monocular, which I used to find very beneficial back in the day for seeing distance. Now I just use my phone. But those things are several hundred dollars. I mean, everything is just priced so high. And especially things that could help people are priced so high. So I don't understand it. Other than corporate greed, like I said, and if you're an early adopter, of course you're taking on the costs of R&D and all of that kind of stuff. And I mean, I didn't do that.

They don't keep the previous models out. Like they've got the Rainier Air 3S now, and I've been following them since the Rainier Air, like the original model, but they don't sell that one. They don't sell the 2, they don't sell the 2S. They don't sell the, well, they still sell the 3 and the 3S and the 3 Pro, but they don't lower the prices on them. Like it seems like the prices are going up in this tech all the time. And I figured, wait a couple of years, you know, the price will come down. But no, they haven't. They've gotten higher with the new models that are coming out. The prices go higher, the old models are not available. So you're not getting it when you wait for a while now, like, you know, you thought you would, you know, or like everything was, you know, back in the day, you know, you just wait for an older model. But no older models. So they're starting to get real greedy, I think, with these companies. And they don't care who their products could help or benefit, they just see dollar signs. And that's unfortunate. But yeah, the AI thing, I know I went off a bit of a tangent there. AI is going to take over the world, whether we like it or not. Jobs, careers, they got robots now. They got, you know, instead of waiters, they put food on a little robot tray, and it goes right to your table. And there's like so much of this stuff being specifically designed to eliminate humans out of the workforce and make things deeper, essentially, overall for employers and companies and things like that.

And yeah, I think the place that I work, I work for local government, and I think there's a lot of jobs within local government to grow. And AI could take over, especially admin type posts. And for years and years in the public sector, there's been cuts and cuts and cuts, no money. And I think this now gives them the opportunity to actually replace people. Of course it will cut costs in the long term, obviously, without setting up AI and whatever, but I think in the long term, that would actually be saving them money. And yeah, like Daryl was saying, they look to make savings wherever they can. The human is the biggest experience for any business, unfortunately. But I do have some concerns about it because we're seeing more and more issues that happen when systems get hacked. And you know, if hospitals and vital services start to get run on AI, what are we going to do when things get hacked? And it makes us a little more vulnerable to attacks as well, cyber crime and things like that, if more and more things are going AI route. So that's what I've got some concerns about. But I think there's not really a lot we can do about it. We just have to, I think like Daryl was saying, we have to be open to being adaptable as well. And in a role, if we've got a job, we just have to look at, you know, our job role is going to change. Whether we like it or not, we might find ourselves doing completely different jobs due to AI as well there. So probably, maybe the thing we can do is, is say, become adaptable.

A couple things that I had, I was going through my Safari tabs and I found a couple things in there that I had looked at a few years back and thought of getting, didn't get at the time, but decided to get them now. So smaller things, not too big, not too wild, but my wife did say that there was something that she was looking at that might be a thing that she wants that I can get for her, you know, so yeah, that's definitely a plus when that happens. But she hasn't said anything more about it, so I'm not sure if that's going to happen. So I've gotten a few other small things, and that way, depending on what happens with her and her item, I may or may not need to get a big item, because she'll have that taken care of already. But, and then she takes care of most everybody else. She's been shopping all year. When she sees something that she thinks one of the kids or grandkids will like, she'll pick it up and then, you know, she'll have it in storage and then, or, you know, in the house, and then she gets it all together at Christmas time. So the, especially the grandkids, but the kids too, you know, often have multiple presents from us. But, and that, and it spreads out the cost of Christmas, throughout the year. So that's helpful as well. But, yep, I've gotten a couple things.

Oh, by the way, I have a suggestion for anybody who has a partner, usually a female partner, I gave my wife a bidet seed for the toilet about three years ago. It took me two years to get a partner to put it in because we have in the wall toilets, they're very different. Had to have its own water line run and stuff like that. But if you have a regular toilet, these things are about from two to $300, they are heated, they spray warm water on you and you'll never be cleaner. Carol will swear by that. And my wife tells me every day how much she loves hers. So there you go. There's a little suggestion for you. George, have you started your Christmas shopping? Are you finished?

No, I haven't really thought about it yet much this year. I'm not much of a buy. I love Thanksgiving. I'm big on Thanksgiving. I'm not so big on Christmas. Probably because of my upbringing, every Christmas was a nightmare at my folks' home when I was young. And it seemed like every year I bring back these memories. I just wish this holiday would go away. But we do, we set up the tree and decorations, we have a Christmas dinner and all that kind of good stuff. Every year they ask me what I want, but mostly if I want something I get it myself. So I'll come up with things, well, I need new suspenders this year. That's what I want. That's exactly what I'm going to ask Santa for this year, some more suspenders. I love my suspenders. I wear them out. I need at least two or three every year. The wife, another problem is that her anniversary is on the 14th, my birthday is on the 17th and Christmas is on the 25th, right? So they kind of all blend together, you know, so that's another thing. But I have been, last year we just bought for my grandson. Everybody decided no presents for us, let's just go for our grandson and really give him a good Christmas. And we did. And well, it was a year before last and last year we had presents for everybody again and it was all right. Nobody picked up unusual things. I got a window, my wife and I got a window on a wall, draw out the window that has plates and everything. It's kind of an old window with the old glass in it. And then it has plates, old fashioned plates infused to it and stuff like that. It's heavy, like 40 pounds. But it's nice that we have it hanging up in the kitchen in the dining room and we love it to death. So that kind of thing. But anyways, back to my original thing, I've been skimping on my wife's anniversary the last couple of years.

My family knows my current situation and therefore expectation for that type of thing is very low. So I've got to get off with that. When I was a better financial situation it would just be close family. Parents, brothers, sisters, nieces that would be it. But like you said when you're not financially able to do that and you're just getting by yourself then nobody expects gifts and stuff like that. I don't either expect anything like that. It's not necessary and you know it is what it is. I think this year Christmas is going to be hard for our family. The first one was Alabama and so I'm not sure how Christmas is going to look this year to be honest with you. I've thought about it a little bit and I just don't know. It's going to be a little bit of a somber occasion I'm sure although everyone will try their best at things. So that's about all I can really think of when it comes to Christmas this year. That's me being honest man. So it is what it is kind of thing as I always say. But back to this AI stuff man. It's really taking over. Just doing some research now. Several companies are employing artificial intelligence related technology to streamline as they call it expensive as management and core production. I'm actually looking into, I've been learning with AI myself into a business platform or frame of mind. I'm trying to figure out how to legitimize or increase my customer base when it comes to the services I provide because like you say my income is strictly based on the jobs that I can get right. And I usually only have maybe a couple a week but if I could increase that to like 10 a week I think it would very heavily increase my finances in a positive direction. So AI has something or Gemini has something called business coach where you can bounce ideas off it and help it get you to form business plans and I think it's part of your target demographic and a bunch of other stuff. So I've been going through that."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-29T06:21:18+00:00","id":71397,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":71396,"text":" I figure out if there's anything that I can do to get the word out, you know.

No I haven't started Christmas shopping yet. I'm starting to think about it though, but no I usually leave it until kinda late November. And there's a good reason for that. I put money into a separate account on every payday and I can't get the money out until November. Actually it's what I kinda what they call a Federal Union. It comes out of my wages before I get the wages if you know what I mean. So I buy my employer and then they get it paid out a month before Christmas. So that's when I will do my Christmas shopping. But to be fair the bulk of the money will be spent on my son who's 10. And usually what happens is his birthday was in October there on the 5th of October. Once his birthday's by he starts thinking of things that he would like for Christmas. So that's that he's already in his house. And various magazines have been circled. The list gets longer and longer. One that seems to be the top of the list at the moment for him is an electric scooter, an e-scooter. He's really keen to get one of those so I'll have to look about and see what we can get. I don't want one that's too fast that he's going to have an accident. But you can get ones that are tiny, child friendly. So that's like where a big chunk of the money will be going. And everybody else usually gets something like my husband, my dad, my step mum, my sister and that. They all get gifts as well but usually not quite as big an amount as what my son would get if he got a little mind in. It's actually really hard to buy for the adults. I struggle. Especially for my step mum and my sister-in-law. They're the hardest people to buy for. They really are. And every year I panic. It's like, oh my God, I get them. I really enjoy all the kiddies.

Les was a big candy maker. She'd buy a bunch of chocolate and then she would turn out chocolates for people. My wife and I, we would do caramel corn, which was very cheap to make and very pleasing.

Finally, it's starting to turn. The colors are starting to get golden. It kind of happened real fast. One day, everything still looked kind of green. I went up last night and I was coming back down. I thought, what the hell happened? A nuclear bomb went off up here in Lusit, New York. I'm standing around here today. I'm probably using a flop and all that kind of stuff. It's kind of late in the year. Usually, it's a little earlier. It would have been nice to go out. I could go up the lake and take some pictures. That ain't going to happen today. Not in this crap. I decided to do horse chores, house chores. I had to take care of some things with the wife. She still cut it down. She took the wrong medication and it made her allergic to it. She got rashed all over. She stopped taking the medication and doing Benadryl. Benadryl knocks her butt out. I guess I'll do the chores. Take out the garbage. I'm going to go mop after I get done here. Isn't that exciting? This is what my retirement is going to be about? I was thinking about what Daryl said. Get a little side hustle. Something that's specific. I've been working with editing videos. I'm getting really good at it. I wonder if I should reach out to a whole bunch of California production studios, low-budget D&C movies and see if I can do some editing. That would be kind of fun. I like that. That would be fun. I wouldn't be opposed to it if it was something I really liked. I paid good money. I did it secretly so nobody would think bad of me. I wouldn't do it. I'm telling you right now, I wouldn't do it.

Man, I tell ya, the more familiar I get with MacOS, the more I absolutely love it's simplicity and functionality and customization and all that kinda stuff. I'm finally starting to get all the programs on here, like for everything I used to use on Windows. And I don't have anything now that I can't do on Mac that I could do on Windows. I do have more things, or things that I can do much better and much more efficiently on Mac. You know, pretty much all my external hard drives and portables and all that kind of stuff now, all formatted for APS or APFS, the Apple file system. It's kind of limiting in the sense that those drives can't be read by other computers, but I do have a couple of decent sized USB drives that are formatted cross-platform with ExFAT. Not FAT32 or NTFS, it's ExFAT. And that can be read by Windows, Linux, and Mac. So transferring files around multiple systems around the house can still be done very easily. I've got FTP servers set up on all my devices, as well as KDE Connect, so I can control and send files to any system from any system. All I have to do is click the computer and drag and drop files, and they'll scoot all around the network to multiple platforms.

And all you have to do is click the computer and bang, it's like you're sitting in front of it. So when I'm on Mac, if I need Windows for something or Linux, I can just click the computer that runs that OS and boom, up comes its desktop. Man, I tell you, once you get into this and you really put your solid effort into it, there's nothing you can't do on a Mac that you can do on Windows. I've even got Chirp set up on my Mac for programming radios, which also works fantastically. So all my radio images, programming files from Windows now can be used on Mac through Chirp. I've got OBS set up and El Gallo Game Capture Studio and all kinds of software that's just incredibly useful. And where my previous computer was like 10 years old or more, it was slow at doing like video editing and things like that. But the Mac, I mean, it renders 1080p in like triple and quadruple time as opposed to the actual length of the video. It's kind of incredible. Anybody that recommends people switch to Mac for simplicity and just ease of use and all that, I'm completely on board with that. I mean, the computer sits on my desk. It does have a fan in it, but it's pretty much silent. I don't remember ever hearing the fan spin up in this thing. And I just love it. And I've got another one. It's an iMac over sitting on a coffee table that I've gotten from my neighbor, which works just fine as well. So I've been using that as a mechanism for viewing my security cameras. It just sits there. It just shows the cameras and that's it. That's all it's been doing. But if I want footage from it, I can connect to it remotely and transfer footage. I've got a USB hard drive plugged into it, a one terabyte drive that just takes care of video recording. Man, I tell you, the set up is just coming along. It's really coming along. And Mac has definitely helped with my productivity, that's for sure. Anyway, I don't think this is final comments. I think you said the next one will be. So I'll pass it back to you.

Yeah, get this in to Darryl there. All these ice cubes and all. He's losing me there. But also, I got a new gadget. A computing, gaming, computing stock gaming gadget. I've replaced my Legion Go one for an Asus AliRodge X. What do you think it is? Or an X? Can't remember but it's the beta model of the Asus AliRodge X. And I'm really impressed with that device. I've been using it a lot for handheld gaming. And the battery life on it is much better than the Legion Go. I know there's a new Legion Go 2 that's been tested and experienced. And normally the only thing about it was it had a OLED screen I think. So it really wasn't worth the cost for me. To be honest I'm not bothered by an OLED screen. And the Asus device is a little bit smaller in the hand. Works better for lady hands. Because it was awful heavy the Legion Go when I was holding it. And I very rarely put the controllers off and all. It had detachable controllers on it a bit like the Switch has. But that was just a bit of a fail. I never put the controllers off this way or that way. So yeah, I've been using that for the last two or three weeks now. And it's working really well. I'm enjoying using it. I've got SteamOS and a few other AIM software platforms on it. But really impressed. And I like the fact that the games on Steam don't seem a bit too expensive. I can get some really good games for not a lot of cost. So yeah, I think that will probably be the end of my Christmas. Hi, hi. Anyway, back to you there, Gary.

It's just, oh man, I love it. In regards to my drive, no, I haven't gotten it yet. I've got to go into UPS and pay the, or FedEx, sorry, and pay the duties on there. So I'm just waiting for that to clear and in the next day or two I should be able to go and do that. Apparently it's still being moved through the system, but before they can deliver it, that has to be taken care of. So I'm going to go do that first when I'm able, hopefully tomorrow or the next day. And then shortly thereafter I should get it, I'm hoping. It's been a long time dealing with that. It really has. It's been, you know, well over a month, probably six weeks at this stage in the game. But yeah, really looking forward to that. Like you say, I'm in the process of other drives with content and then I'll just copy as opposed to move because I'll still keep the original copies of a lot of these files on other drives, put away in my dresser. Once those drives are full, I'll put them away, I'll back them up to the big one and I'll do it that way. And I'll do it that way in the future if the big crashes, hopefully I won't lose all my data.

Wedding soup is one of my favorites, and I just had some Fadeo soup. And albongadors, that's a good one. Some meatball soup, Mexican meatball soup. But soup, hot soup. Because in the summertime, I just can't get into eating hot soup in winter. Absolutely. So there you go. And my plan for today is I got to do some shopping and stuff. And I might get the kayaks ready. I think we're going to go to the river tomorrow, Maine. I bought them like down below Hoover Dam. So I haven't been there in a couple of years. So looking forward to it. Because as you know, the weather has been like mid, upper 70s, no humidity, no wind. And you just can't ask for better. So anyway, get your ear there, Joe. And back to you.

So that is one of my favorite meals, probably the most favorite meal or foods in the winter months. And yeah, take some pictures if you go out to the lake obviously, see what the water levels are. It's been a while since you gave us an update on the water levels. Although I think you said you're going to go below Hoover Dam. But there's something else I was going to say too. Anyway, always a pleasure talking to you, my friend. I don't know why you're old, your other computer. I don't know why you have issues on the computer getting in with telling you like you're underwater. Maybe one of these days you'll figure that out. Anyway, Joe, take care. Oh, and yes, the weather has been fantastic here. As a matter of fact, today is going to be around 78 degrees where I'm at. Right now it's 54. It's pretty chilly. And while you were gone, it did hit about 52 or 48 on one day, one or two days. So this is okay right now. It was a little colder while you were on vacation. But the weather has been beautiful. No winds, no nothing, no rain. You really can't ask for anything better for right now. So yeah, I would definitely get out of the house and do what you got to do while you can.

My favorite foods for the winter, all foods. I don't care what it is. I like eating so there you go. If you ever see my waistline you would know. Let's see, yeah well whenever I see a bud popping I make sure I let the neck control know that he's there so he gets in there and can do his business and take care of business. Let's see, and if you need any help on Wednesday for some strange reason all you got to do is let me know and I can do it. So no problem on that one. Other than that we're not doing much today. Think about swinging the chair around and go play some maybe some FTE or something like that this morning to see what's going on before the rain comes in and kind of cuts all the signals down here in Ohio.

I didn't see his node or him on EchoLink so I'm glad that you told me but I usually do add him on there as well as Joe and Joyce but no big deal. If you let me know, not a big deal. I'd rather know in case like today I didn't even see his node come up or anything so and yeah if you see my waistline I used to enjoy a lot of food also and now the weight is just taking forever to come off and I really need to lose a lot more and you know I'm sure you're familiar with the struggle and but and as far as you doing the net or taking over whatever if I need you I appreciate that. I always ask Joe if I can't do the net but I do appreciate you know taking over if I need. Most of the time I'm okay and taking it once a week is not a big issue. It's not like I have much to do. You know I'm just sitting here every morning doing nothing. Just spending time with my dogs and having my coffee at this time of the morning so doing the net is is not an issue. And of course I can cover for anybody else who needs coverage also. But I appreciate the offer art and I will ask you if I need you. I'll ask Joe or you know that's usually my go-to is KK7Z because you know I want him to have something to do on his retirement but we'll put it that way. He needs something to do. Thanks Art for the check in. I appreciate it. Next up we'll go to Bud. K5EWH. Bud, good morning Bud. Hope all is well.

Let me give you the temperature here first, 46.6 degrees and 62% humidity. It's pretty cool out there. I was out there earlier this morning. I threw out some grass seed because they said it was going to rain and it did sprinkle some. I don't know if it's sprinkling right now, but anyway, I got a couple of bare spots that I needed to fix and that's what I was doing. As far as the winter foods, I really don't change from one season to the other because as everybody pointed out, chili is good for winter. I make a white chicken chili and also a cream cheese chicken chili, which are two completely different things, but both of them are really good and I make a bunch of that at a time and I could eat on it for several days. So I like chili all year round. It doesn't make any difference, but I like about most any kind of food. So here in a little while I think I'm going to run down to the DMV and get my license plates. They're not due until December, but I want to get them before Christmas time so I can get that money out of the way because it's pretty expensive to get several license plates and driver's license and all that stuff. Let me see. I'm trying to think what else I was going to say, but it completely slipped my mind. That's what happens when you get old. I hope Robert does check in or something from time to time to keep us updated on what's going on with him. So anyway, always good hearing from him.

And I'm sure Rosie will and Joe enjoys because they've been asking about him all week long. So anyway, and Larry, I kind of figured you enjoy food like the rest of us, any kind of food. But I love chili. I don't make chili near often enough as I should, but I should. I think actually that's a good idea. I just bought like a lot of ground beef and a lot of steak and I like doing chopped steak in mine and cut it up into small pieces. And after it's being barbecued and put some barbecue steak in the chili and the beans, of course, the tomatoes and all that yummy stuff. However, I've never made a white chicken chili or anything with cream cheese in a chili. So I will look into that. That sounds really yummy. I love cream cheese in cooking, especially when there's other cheeses involved. It just makes it much more rich and creamy. So thanks for giving me some ideas and I will look up some either some recipes or something, but that definitely sounds good. Take care, my friend. I appreciate your checking again.

I love of course my eggs and I love to have pancakes and of course I do protein pancakes now and try to do more protein and less carbs which probably isn't the best way to do it but it's a lot better. It actually keeps my blood sugar a lot more stable than when I eat regular pancakes and I love waffles and so do my dogs. Every once in a while when I make my breakfast in the morning if I do my protein pancakes or waffles or whatever, protein waffles, I will also make eggs and pancakes and whatever else I'm eating. I make little mini cheese omelettes and give them a little piece of, half a piece of waffle or one small pancake, you know, whatever. For the little dogs you get a half pancake and the bigger dogs you get one or two pancakes and I just, I like to swallow them once in a while so we all eat breakfast together since I really have no one else to eat breakfast with.

So I'm going to get up when it's light out, not when it's dark out. So I don't mind getting dark early, but I don't like getting up at 6 o'clock when it's still dark outside. So that's one of the things. Another thing is the net controllers. I think I'm going to be putting together a Zoom conference for Monday. This Monday coming up, I'll have to talk to Barbara if I know she's off on Monday or Friday. I can never tell because it seems like it rotates for her. And see if we can get together and just talk over a few things. If that works for you, I'll put you on the list there. And I think you were already on the list, but there you go. Anyway, back over to you, Joe. Have a good day.

It should work, no matter what time it is. My mornings are free, my afternoons are pretty free, but of course between doctor's appointments and late today, I got to take the medium sized dog to the vet because she's having some digestive issues and hasn't been doing well the past couple of days and she's not really getting better. So I'm going to get her checked out, make sure she's okay. She's not eating like she normally does, so her tummy is a little upset. But yeah, just let me know and I will do my best to make it, not a problem. Thanks for the check in Dave, and I was never a big fan of chicken corn chowder, but I've had it, I like it, but just not a big fan of that. So that's one food I'm not a fan of, which is surprising because like everybody else and like Art and Larry, I pretty much will eat anything, but chicken corn chowder is not one of my favorite foods. Anyway, thanks for the check in Dave. Take care my friend, and next up we'll go to KI5SSR from KT7JOE. Good morning Jeanette, and well your weather is about the same as ours here. It's probably just as warm in the winter time as it is, well not as hot as obviously in the summer time, but it does cool down for you a little bit. So what do you like to eat during the winter?

It's rainy. Work was called off. So you know, I got time to do much of nothing. I try not to eat if I can, because it's always bad for me. I gain weight if I eat, you know. But I'll tell you what I do like. In the wintertime, I get back into coffee. In the summertime, I almost knock it out altogether. But now it's that time of year where I'm going to start drinking more coffee. And I do love soups. I think I've had probably three days in a row, grow three different types of soup that I ate for dinner, and sometimes for lunch. Chili's is another one. You mentioned oatmeal. And one of my favorite things is steel cut oatmeal with some bananas and berries and nuts, walnuts, and with maybe some English toast on the side or some multigrain wheat bread, you know, something like that. I really love that, especially first thing in the morning. But I don't eat it too often because just like you, I got to watch my A1C and keep it down, right? Other than, you know, I'm not, everything else is pretty much the same as it always is, you know, year round. So that's the main thing. I really increased my coffee intake and my soup intake.

I'm already on my third cup this morning since I've been awake. Anyway, thanks for the check in. I appreciate it. And yeah, steel oats. Yes, absolutely. And I don't like to make any of the instant stuff. I don't like the instant oatmeal. I used to, but with diabetes and stuff, I have to be careful and kind of go towards more of the whole foods and no sugars. And of course, you know what I'm talking about. My A1C is right now 5.7. So I really struggle to keep it where it needs to be. I'm shooting to go back towards a one of like a 5.2, 5.5 and keep it where the normal folks are. I don't like to be anywhere close to the six or seven where they recommend for diabetic. So I try to really stay focused on that. But George, thanks for the check in. I appreciate it. And you have yourself a great day. Next up, we go to my good friend Roy, K.D. 7WA. Roy, and I know you eat stuff all year round and enjoy foods all year round and you've talked about all sorts of stuff and whatever, but you've got to have a winter food that you prefer, especially when you're out there doing all your lumberjacking and cutting wood and the firewood, all that stuff.

We make our own chili up. And then soups, homemade soups. We'll take a ham carcass or a chicken carcass. And I always leave a lot of extra meat on the bone when we do the soups. And then add all of the other things to it. Another thing, I know you are kind of a gourmet cook, Joe. Hopefully I get time today. I have this thing. It's called the smoking gun. You might Google it. And it's a little bitty thing. It's got a thimble sized thing. You put the wood chips in. And I'm trying to try to smoke some cheese for our dinner tonight with our group we have dinner with on Wednesday nights a lot. So look that up if you've ever seen.

You know, I've never smoked anything. Well, that's a lie. Foods. I've never smoked foods before. I've never actually had a smoker or anything like that. And about three years ago, my wife and my mom, before she had the dementia, they were going to buy me a smoker, like one of the big tall ones that connects to your smartphone or whatever and all that kind of stuff. And this way you can see the temperature all the time, set your temperatures and do everything from the phone and monitor it from the phone. And I said no to that because I don't know if I would use it that often, being that I was as sick as I was back then. But now that I'm out of bed, I will check out that smoking gun. I will check that out. I love all type of barbecue and stuff where it's been smoked ribs and hams and oh yeah, you get me on a, anyway, I got to keep this short because I got to run through the list.

And I hope you're feeling okay. And I'm sure you'll give me an update on everything's going on. I don't know if you went for your scan yet or not. I can't remember if that was the day before or yesterday or if you still have to do it. But update us on your health, please. And of course, we give you big hugs, me and Linda Lou, and she did say hello to you the other day through me. So she misses you guys. We'll do a phone call one of these days as things kind of free up around here. Over to you there, Joyce and Joe. Good morning. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November professional number. Good morning there, Joe. Well, that's sweet. We appreciate that. We'd love to have a call from you dears. So give Linda Lou a big hug for us and yourself and a puppy, the pet. And yeah, we agree there. Roy and Sue are really a special couple and amazing what Roy can do and all that hard work with the cutting wood and helping people out like that. So pretty special folks for sure, as most of all the people on this net. And yeah, we eat pretty much about the same kind of food year round. And I kind of am getting to be a lazy cook at this stage. But we seem to really like this Campbell's heart healthy clam chowder and low sodium. And I love in my soups, I love these oyster crackers. So I always have to fill a bowl full of those as well. And yeah, we usually have turkey throughout the year. So let's see, what else? What am I going to say? Oh yeah, we have to leave here at 9 to go, it's probably what, 8 or 9 miles I guess, west of here to go get an MRI today. I always said I would never ever have another MRI because the earplugs don't fit my ears and it's just too, too uncomfortable. But we did find out that they do have the open new machines now that are 70% less noise. And so I think that I can deal with. So yeah, so anyway, we'll see what that says and I'll keep you guys informed there later. And I think Friday I'll get the heart test results. So yeah, anyway, at this age and stage of the game, we expect things to start going anywhere but I'm feeling pretty good this morning. So, and it was too cool to go out this morning. I agree with Dave, I can't wait for the time change and to be able to sleep maybe an hour later and have the net on at 8 o'clock instead of 7. Yay. Anyway, hi to Missy, Rosie and the buttonhole gang.

Anyway, I do have the HC on my hip while I'm outside in the dark and everything, doing a few chores, but that'll work out better and it'll be an hour later, I guess, we'll be able to sit out on the patio longer at that time, an hour later, because it warms up quick. And yeah, it's just wall to wall sun here, blue skies. And we eat the same thing, I think, winter or summer, because it's basically summer and then kind of a cooly summer year round here, unless we of course drive up to the snow and the colored leaves around Payson and Pine and Strawberry and a few places like that, it gets up to, I think, 10,500 feet or something. We've camped many times at 9,600 feet in the camper in the forest in Arizona.

The question of the day, winter food, I really enjoy my Scotch porridge oats in a winter morning, it's really nice and warm and I like that usually with a little bit of honey or some sugar, I'm a little bit sweet too. I know that some people have their porridge oats with salt on them but I always have something sweet so it usually has honey and I put it in them and it's a nice and warm breakfast, it sets you up for the day and it keeps the tummy full as well. In terms of evening meals, tend to go, we come away from all the salads and on to warm food, usually something like mince and potatoes or a steak pie with all the cooked veg and that sort of thing, usually the pots are going in the wintertime, keeps the house warm as well. And in terms of the turkey, we only have a turkey on Christmas day, that's the one day of the year that we have turkey and it becomes obviously a big feast but yes, Christmas day is a massive big feast on our face.

So I'm not really sure what my sweet tooth is. I don't eat a lot of cakes or any of that stuff, but I do put honey in, like if I have green tea or whatever, I will always sweeten it up with the honey versus any type of sweetener. I don't use any sugar, so yeah, honey and of course honey is very good for you. There was a guy on the net a while back, KC7 FMV or sorry, I can't remember, no that's my white skull sign. I can't remember his SMV. He used to send me honey that he had bees and he used to raise bees and he was a honey farmer and he used to send me fresh honey all the time from his area and it was some of the best.

I like the soups and the stews, I like the vegetables and some protein. Oh, chili was sounded good. I like, for, this year we did a chicken on the spit for Canadian Thanksgiving and we were camping. When we were done with the chicken we made it into soup on the fire and that was delicious. We were just working on a remote community water treatment plant and actually there's one of the people we were working with had brought some homemade soup as well for us, some turkey soup. That was a good one, good sodium content on that one, well flavored. Good question and I appreciate the opportunity to check in and share. I also appreciate everyone else sharing this.

You get a little bit of everything in there, all sorts of vitamins, all sorts of just everything. I think everything in that soup is just beyond good for you. Soups are just, in my opinion, just nothing but good for you. But the chili is good too, because you get plenty of protein and stuff, and then if you add the beans, of course you get some additional proteins and flavor, and so in the iron and whatever. So I mean, those foods are really good for you. But I think the soups, like I said, are my favorite.

How are you, how are you, how are you? Welcome to the Wednesday morning edition of the Puget Sound Repeater Group's 9 a.m. net. Hey, this is Kilo Delta 7, Papa'u'u, it's Steve Bravo Day, the High Desert Pirate Radio Net Control this morning. And I'm coming to you via an all-star note from Central Oregon, and I'm on the PS surgery repeater in Seattle, Washington. This net meets every day at 9 a.m. noon and 9 p.m. and on the PS surgery repeater at 146.960 MHz with a negative offset and a PL tone of 103.5. So all you hams out there, set your radios up, come in and join us. As you know, we're all-star and Echo Link connected as well, and we love to hear from people on the internet coming in from all over the country, if not the world. So there you go. Hey, let's see, this is an open net for all hams with a valid license. It's a social net. You can talk about anything you want, just as long as it's user-friendly. It's also a great net for you new hams to get into and get your press-to-talk fingers wet as you jump in. And hey, you know, you won't find a more supportive group of ham radio operators anywhere, I don't think. There you go. Come push that talk button and join us, for sure. It is a directed net, so please remember to go through net control to contact other stations. And when you check in, please try not to tailgate. Let me acknowledge each station as they come in. That cuts down on our confusion a little bit, and we've got plenty of confusion as it is. So there you go. All right, hang on. Let me let it drop for just a second. Okay, the way this works, we are going to build a list of names and call signs. I usually like to do four, five, six or so at a time. Then I'll go back to the top of the list from each of those stations and ask for a report. And when you give a report, try and keep it to three minutes or less. That's the time out of the repeater. And that little nasty alligator will bite you off. There you go. And it also lets us get everybody in as many check-ins as we can in that timely fashion. And mission critical when you do give your report is to please remember to end with your call sign. It tells me you are done with your report and it satisfies the FCC. So there you go. Let's see, what was I going to say? I am the foggiest clue. Oh, we are going to start out with short horizon stations. That is mobiles, IOs, and low power stations, or anybody that is mission critical to get in in a timely fashion. So there you go. IOs are certainly welcome. If you just want to let me know you are listening out there, it is called In-N-Out or IO. They are certainly welcome. And then I won't call on you for a report, but let me know you there. All right, let's see. We are going to start out with short horizon stations. I did that already. Let's try, then we will do some Internet's, then we will open it up to everybody. And like I say, none of this is ever carved in stone. And I do have some net control announcements this morning. I will do after the first couple of rounds or if things get too slow I will throw those in. So there is some fun stuff coming up. I think you'll want to check that. And hey, let's get things rocking and rolling here. This is Kilo Delta 7, Papa Whiskey Bravo Bay, the High Desert Pirate Radio listening for short horizon stations. Who is out there?

She's keeping me warm. I just shared a very tiny, a small pumpkin doughnut unglazed that my daughter made. That was very nice of her. I'm getting ready to... I've been soaking small red kidney beans all night and I think they're probably ready. I'm going to put all the ingredients together to make some chili, about 11ish. And we'll let that simmer throughout the afternoon. And that's what I'll have for dinner. I went to the fruit market yesterday and picked up three jalapenos. They looked very nice. They were fresh. They had fresh Washington grown, mild. I don't know. They weren't from Walla Walla. But they were the last of the season. Sweet onions. So zucchini. They had no eggplant. No eggplant. Tomatoes were from California. Yakimas are all gone. They're getting ready to close up. Their last day is Halloween. Oh, Halloween? Okay. So we'll make one more trip over there before they close down for the season. They're getting ready to do Christmas trees. So they're getting ready. They're selling off... They've got tons of pumpkins. Whoa. Man. So that's it for me. Be well, be safe. I would say don't burn, but well, anyway. Don't burn. Anyway, thank you. Thank you for putting up with me.

As James said, we match that with our shadows here also. Sun is out. Blue sky. It's going to be a nice day. Oh, James was mentioning chili. And I haven't made chili for a long time. And that was that we were we have we have leftovers tonight before the zoom. So that we don't have to cook on zoom. But by golly, that chili is going to happen tomorrow, I think. And because that is real. That sounded so good. And so we're going to have to get the get the ingredients together today. We have we're going to make a chain on. They're going to make a trip to Costco. We're not going to buy that much beans and stuff in Costco that we have to Costco quantities. But we may stop at the grocery store and pick up all the ingredients for a nice big bowl of chili. And that'll last us for a couple of days. For the weekend that way. And that sounds like a plan and a half. Thanks, James, for reminding me and recommending that even though he didn't recommend it. But as you said, James, don't burn the chili either. So thank you.

After I got rid of all my HF gear and all that, I've been reorganizing my radio disc. Right now I just got my Yaesu 8900R all set up with crossband repeat. In fact, that's what I'm talking on now. I've been listening to the whole net and the funny thing is, if I crossband repeat like how everybody sets up their crossband repeat, my Yaesu would be working overtime. Everybody talks. My Yaesu would be repeating it to my HT unit Bofang. I got it set up in a way where the Yaesu does not repeat anything off the repeater. I get the repeater directly to my HT unit. But when I transmit, then I transmit to the 440 side, it hits my Yaesu and then my Yaesu crossbands only my HT unit. It does not retransmit anything off the repeater. So that way my Yaesu is not working overtime. That radio would get pretty hot if I did that. It's pretty interesting on how you can set that up. In fact, if anybody doesn't understand what I'm saying, look up my callsign KG7BPX on QRZ. My email is current. You can email me and I'll send you a link to this YouTube video that explains the whole situation. But I'm pretty happy. I'm located over here in Linwood and I'm talking on a little 4 or 5 watt Bofang radio and being crossband repeated. So anyways, that's about all I'm doing. Just a bunch of radio stuff. So I'm going back on out. Again, if you want to see the video, you can look up my callsign on QRZ. Again, it's KG7BPX. Send me an email and I'll send you a link to that video.

It began with regular music programs, then interrupted with increasingly fantastic reports of mysterious explosions on Mars, a meteorite landing in New Jersey, and finally the annihilation of American cities by Martians, Martian war machines. It was a public reaction, then he listened, tuned in after the program began, and missed the opening disclaimer, which I could see that. Some believe the U.S. was actually being attacked by aliens. But also, it says the newspapers later exaggerated the panic, but thousands of people reportedly called police, newspapers, and radio stations in confusion for fear. Aftermath. Wells initially feared his career was over. I wouldn't doubt that. Was there an FCC back then? Yeah, there had to be. But the opposite happened.

Well, I looked it up, and it was commissioned and put into place, like I said, in 1934 by Franklin D. Roosevelt. And their mission at the time was to make communication services available to all Americans. The radio regulations, the telephone and telegraph oversight, and public safety and standards. You know, emergency communications, so forth like that. Bring order to the airways, fairness to the phone lines, and accountability to those who profit from public communications. I don't know if they did a very good job of that, at least when I was growing up. It would cost a fortune you'd call across the street and it would be a $10 bill. You cannot find, let me see here. I asked who it went after first. The first find out there. And they couldn't find any definitive record to show it. Over time, it used its forfeiture fine authority to penalize broadcasters and other communication entities for violations such as indecency issues, or spectrum or telemarketing violations, etc. So they were fighting telemarketing back then when they got the first phones in. In fact, they didn't keep good records back then until the late 1970s and on, when major fines and public controversy began. So even though they were established in 1934, they really had no public records to show what the hell they did until 1970.

And, well, maybe the radio stations were where the telemarketers. You never know, like, because they were always giving away stuff. And, you know, the pot of gold, stay by your phone, and all of this stuff. They had contests, radio contests, right? So, who knows? Maybe somebody wanted to tell on them. Maybe there were ones that were just a little bit bad, right? Like, they had to have some kind of guidelines. Well, phone technology got better as it got better. Like, look at how we have flat rate now, right? And some countries have, like, where they call each other for free. I mean, they have to first discover easier ways to put your call through so they can be more generous with it, right? Yeah, in older days, it's all like complicated, ancient equipment that has to be manned. They're just going to do it for free. You know, people working at telephony stops, like your...

But when we went down to Arkansas, we wound up on a party line with like six or seven other people. And I know, I don't know, we are my parents would don't call anybody, you know, let them call us type of thing. And then later on in the early 80s. When I was 86. Yeah. I lived in Dardin. And Dardin was a very, very small town. And I could call a felon, which was like seven, eight miles away. And it was considered a local phone call, and it would, you know, they charge you just, you know, your monthly fee. But across the street, there was one of my friends, if I called him, every phone call was like $5. And it was just right across the street. I'm talking literally 100 feet away. You know, so I never could figure that one out. And then when I was on the road, if you want, like, if I was out in New Jersey, or something like that, I wanted to call my wife and just say hi to her. Like a five minute phone call was $10 through the pay phones. And we ran up some bills. When I was in Adak, Alaska. My wife paid the phone bill, I just always made a collect call because I could there was no phones up there pay phones. And we talk and sometimes we'd be on the phone for an hour or something like that. And I sent all my Navy check to our two jobs. I did the Navy and then I worked for Sealand, loading up containers on ships and taking them off right. Because I work one day on one day off with the nail on the Navy side. So the other day I was off, I'd work for Sealand. And but I'd send all my Navy pay home. And so when I finally got out of the Navy, because that was my last duty. She kept all the bills in the drawer and we were getting ready to move to Missouri. And I saw these bills and I looked at them and I started telling them up. And for that, it was 1415 months that I was up there in Adak. And it came to $7,500 in phone calls. And I was sparing I mean, I'd call me once a week. And we talked for about an hour. $7,500 for one year. You know, they got I have second job, right? She never said anything to me about it. So. And then we got our phone, we are landline all the way up to about 15 years ago. And we paid like $60 or something like that a month. And then when the phone got kept getting worse and worse and worse. AT&T was not worth a crap around here. At the time, then we finally switched over to Verizon. And we've been on Verizon for at least 20 years. And we haven't owned a landline since 20 years ago. And that's the history of how we use phones.

I have a, I don't have use of the van for a couple of days so let's see I've been back. I've been back in that Toyota BB4, that sweet, sweet ride. Unfortunately it was not available today so I had to take out the Nissan LEAF which works in a pinch but I don't like it as much as that sweet, sweet Toyota. Part of it was, yeah this one has less range than the other one so yeah for our purposes I think it's not as good. So I was having that bit of, I wasn't having any range anxiety at all in the BB4 but on this one when I saw the numbers dwindling right at the beginning I was like oh my goodness. But now I seem to have gotten over it and now I'm like yeah whatever. It's just kind of funny how psychology of all of this works. But the upshot of it is that I am enjoying test driving these different vehicles and you know keeping in mind our workflows and our requirements and all of that.

How long does it take to get back? Well, the trip over, because we had so many stops, this is from when you actually embark, or I guess embark, debark, whatever, from the East Coast, not from Wichita, but from the East Coast. It was like 36 hours to get there, but that was several stops along the way. I think Shannon, Ireland. We stopped in Bulgaria, and then once we got into the Middle East, we stopped at like Al Udeid and a couple other bases and dropped people off and stuff. The way back was actually much longer. Getting back to the D is like 90 hours. We didn't have to stop at any of the bases. We left Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia directly. Didn't have to stop at Al Udeid or Al Dafra or any of those other bases. Went to Bulgaria. Plane broke down. This is a contracted government plane. It's called Omni International. There's a few like Atlas, Omni, National. Basically all they do is contract stuff to haul cargo and sometimes US government to haul troops back and forth. Anyway, the plane broke in Bulgaria, so we were there for a night in Sofia, which wasn't terrible. Then we went to Shannon, Ireland, and then got back finally to Baltimore. Then because of the storms on the East Coast, we missed our flight. Of course, because we were delayed in Bulgaria by a day and a half, we missed all that, so we had to rebook stuff. Then booked a flight to Wichita, and then we missed our connection in Atlanta. So we were there in Atlanta for another night."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-29T12:36:12+00:00","id":71736,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":71735,"text":" and finally made it back to Wichita.

It's called reconstitution leave for guardsmen and reservists, it's a required leave. Basically you're doing all your stuff like turning in gear, finishing your paperwork, all that stuff, and you know, your travel voucher and all that. So I was there in Wichita, that was fine. And then finally made it back here and just spent the last couple days going through all my stuff because I'd sent a lot of crates of personal stuff home. So I didn't have to carry it all through the airport. So I've got these ginormous crates. And then of course, everything I brought home and just kind of going through all of that. Oh my gosh, it's just an immense amount of stuff. And then of course I'm here at home and there's a lot of home projects to do.

Can I be see Bruce here mobile in Seattle? On what am I on the 6th, on the 4th Avenue bridge. I had to laugh at John saying he's fighting the angry bees. It sounds like a like a uh like a phone game battling the angry bees. I guess you got like the angry birds and things like that but anyway that just made me chuckle. Anyway the clouds are coming out now. It was it was pretty blue sky earlier. I mean there's still a lot of blue up there but a little more clouds than there were. Had a little bit of drama last night. You know last week we had the sewer line back up and got someone out to clean it out the next day. Well last night it decided to do it again and so that was a little worrisome but we were able to get a hold of Megan's cousin's husband who was a plumber and he came over with the camera snake and let me tell you that is a cool piece of kit and I was able to go down and look and see what was actually going on in our sewer line and there were some some roots in there which I knew that there were roots in there from before and I had cut a tree down hoping that that would have solved it and that was about seven years ago so you know the fact that had got them cleared out about seven years ago and it lasted this long is not too bad you know in terms of not having to replace the sewer line just yet but yeah he took a look at it and he was able to go in there with his snake tool and clear it out pretty good. He says it doesn't look too bad. It's not like we have to get it replaced at this point but one of those things we should probably start budgeting for for the future so I'm all right with that answer for now that means I don't have to replace the sewer line and dig some holes just yet but the water is flowing the way that it should right now so that is good news. Anyway that's the update from from our end over here. Thanks for doing the net. 7-3.

Yeah, that was very, very lucky. And the fact that he's a family member is pretty cool. Hey, so even if they were to reline rather than replace your line there, you can reline them with concrete. It's a very interesting process. I think it only requires the one access hole to dig to do that type of thing. I'm not a proof positive of that, but I think if you've heard that maybe you can let me know. But I think that is a pretty sweet way to do it. You have to replace the whole line and get the ditch digger and all that stuff. Have you heard about that?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-29T12:43:29+00:00","id":71747,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":71746,"text":" Yeah, you know, I've heard about that type of technology and I've heard it used on different lines. I think I had a neighbor that had done that with his water line that came into the house because the water lines in our neighborhood are the ones, the original ones anyway, are all cast iron and so I think he had done it with that. With the sewer line that would certainly be an option to explore if that was capable. What I did find out is that my sewer line is clay or ceramic I guess because of the age of it. Apparently our house used to be on septic. When those houses were built they were on septic and then they put the public sewer in later and they all got converted to sewer. So I'm not sure exactly what year that was but talking to our family member plumber there he was saying that yeah if it was plastic lined they would probably be able to do the repair but with it being clay or what do you call it ceramic or whatever it is we would have to get someone else to come out and do it for us. We'll see, lots to learn but at this point like I said we've got a little bit of time to get that figured out. KNI and DDC. Yes indeed, alright well of course anytime you mention plumbing the home owners, the dollar signs start flipping by and the eyeballs and they get dizzy. Oh boy, alright I hope that doesn't come to that and it's not too expensive. Alright well budget wisely yes indeed. Alright Brooks great to hear you, thank you for dropping by your backing business for a while anyway so that's great news.

So we placed everything but the cast iron going out. Unfortunately they had a septic tank here, but it was disconnected but it was never caved in. They did hook up the sewer like a year after the place was built. So yeah, we saved a lot of money doing it all ourselves. But digging ditches, I find that kind of relaxing. Sometimes it gets messy, especially if you've got to go deep. As far as those trenchers, those things I actually had rented one and wouldn't you know it, the chain fell off the thing when I was trying to trench across the back yard. So that's one of those things, do I go ahead and put the chain back on and waste half a day by taking it back or do I just spend a couple hours and put the chain back on and continue to use it. So we just put the chain back on and got as much use out of it as we could. Anyway, just wanted to stop in and say hello Jack. Thanks for stopping in at the Lake Washington Ham Club net today.

I think I'm solo for Halloween this year. Leah and her family are going to a friend's house for dinner and trick or treating. So I think it might just be me, which is totally fine. That means I get to pass out all the candy and look at all the little kids and their little costumes. I can't wait. Anyway, thanks Jack. 7-3 and 33 Cammie and all the YLs and everybody.

But to make up for it, last weekend Valentin bought me a Costco-sized container of Red Vines. Am I the winner here? I think so. But the answer is any kind of grocery store candy that those children want. And not last year, but the year before last, I forget when.

I heard him, I didn't hear him jump, but boom I heard a thump on the ground and he was barking, he thought someone broke in the house. So now I've got to watch myself, he doesn't like my excitement. And whoever suspects me at a game, that's where ear plugs, because I do get loud. We had a beautiful night last night, and Montreal is on a roll, I'm loving it. I knew they were going to be good this year, but I didn't think they would take off this fast. It was a good night, it was 32 teams, they had 16 games, and they said basically they were dropping the puck every 15 minutes or so. And I watched the Capitals game first, I think they lost, I lost track. And I had a couple hour break between, I didn't want to watch all the games. So Montreal came on at 9.30 my time, and by the time it was over, your late night net was over, because I came in and I was going to check in, everybody was gone. So it was only one or two games a night, Montreal doesn't play games on Saturday, so I get to sit back, relax, play radio, and watch a little bit of hockey.

I'm used to the Pacific Northwest. Ham radio wise, so I'm still playing with a ham clock issue. Well actually it's not ham clock. I've got ham clock to work and it's the DX cluster box I learned about. What that does is when someone comes and they're connected to any of the clusters they transmit automatically via their computer their call sign and what frequency they're on and then they can ascertain by the frequency what mode they're running. So if you're chasing somebody like the expedition or call sign that you need, a country you need, it's easier to find them. Well that all works. The other thing where I'm trying to get it to work is in my logging program and one mm and that it does that to telnet and I got through the whole telnet thing it's working on my computer I can communicate via telnet but I can't get the program to work.

The repeater operates at a frequency of 146.96 with a negative offset and appeal to the photo 3.5. All licensed hands and new licensees just getting started are welcome to join. If you have third party traffic, we'd like to hear from them too. We encourage you to press that button. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Your radio projects or just about anything else. Please limit your reports to three minutes. We'll get as many stations in as possible. This is also when the repeater time is out. When you're finished with your report, please end with your call sign. That will keep the FCC happy. I'll be compiling with the stations that would like to check in and then we'll ask for your reports. If you'd like to check in only, let us know that you'll be in and out, also known as an I.O.

That's what I'm going to be doing. Because for some reason I have a fat headache right behind my left eye.

So I'm just kind of monitoring that and making sure there's no big thing going on. And it seems to be fading so hopefully it's nothing. But maybe it's the Klingon cold. I have no idea. But yeah I had an interesting day today. I wasn't expecting all that bright ball of light. But I certainly had a little fun today getting some of my chores done. However, I won't go to the P word because that's a no no. I will say I did manage to bring groceries home, just not with the item I would have preferred to use. But I managed to get food in the house but I had to raid two stores to get enough in to last for a while. So let's hope this works out. Otherwise, yeah it was kind of nice today. It was a little on the warm side if you were sitting in the sun or in my case moving around. But after a while it kind of got cold. So now I'm all squeaky clean and happy.

I should be sleeping right now and probably about 30 seconds after I un-keep, I will be sleeping because that's how fast I can go to sleep. But yeah, happy, healthy, rock and rolling. I think I'm finally kind of almost over this crud. This thing is persistent. It just does not want to go away. Still got the phlegm, still got the nostril stuff, but I'm getting by, so I can say that. I did work 50 hours last week, so that might be part of the reason why 50 hours on the clock at the job plus I worked another 10 to 20 hours on the business. I had a flatbed truck that I had to get all set up last week and I got that all dialed in. Please swap that out Monday. Dropped off a pickup truck and I almost left work early today so I can come home and do it because it was so beautiful outside. But no, I'll probably end up doing it this weekend in the partial rain if I can sneak it halfway in the garage at a time because I can only get half the truck in the garage at a time, which really sucks, but it is what it is anyway. And then parts showed up today for the five more trucks that they ordered. So yeah, things are definitely picking up on that aspect and working 50 hours plus 40 to 50 hours a week at the JOB. I can definitely say I'm exhausted. But definitely happy to stay up, get into your guys' nets. Love the both of you. Hope you're both doing well and we definitely need to get together soon. It's been way too long. So big 73 there, you guys, you friends. Yeah, you guys, you. So yeah, it's my bedtime. I'm going to go to bed now. Good night. KJ7JXM.

Glad to hear you got out there. I saw your video of the flashy lights. That is pretty cool. There are some bright lights on that truck that you did.

We even went overboard and stayed almost an hour over a regular time. So it was a pretty good day. Afterwards, me and one of the other guys, we went out to have spaghetti dinner, or Italian. I had spaghetti. He had a meatball sandwich at a place I hadn't been to since before COVID. And then we went for a ride along the coast and looked at the ocean. The 20-foot waves, they got small craft warnings and shoreline dangers. They say don't go swimming because of these 5, 10, 20-foot waves coming in. So that was a pretty pleasant day.

And I wear a mask whenever I go into a place with public access. And plenty of hand washing and no hugging and hand shaking yet just to not touch anything.

Hopefully you managed to stay away from the sickness that's going around there and it sounds like you got your mask on and stuff.

Yeah, I just watched the Dodgers game, and that was disappointing. And then, that's all I can say about it. Yeah, let's see what else. Yeah, I actually bought a seven-inch tablet off of a team that was kind of by accident. And so, I ended up putting it to work as a weather station for Sydney, Australia. Because I get on a net every day, a health and welfare net that they have every day. So, I get around three or four o'clock in the afternoon. And so, it could be good to see the weather out there, so I put that to use for that. But yeah, I got other stations up and that. And I did see a lot of rain in Seattle. See, it's 52 degrees up there right now, and wind speed about three miles an hour, so it's not bad. So, that's about all I got. So, let me hand it back to you.

I'd love to have that weather right now. We actually didn't have too bad of a day today. I didn't look at the temperature, but we said in the 50s. It's probably about what it was. But it was blue skies and sunny in the morning, and then the clouds came in a little bit later in the afternoon. But yesterday was a whole bunch of rain. And I was standing out in it last night. We had some. Maybe I'll tell the story at the end here. But we'll come back to my story about standing in the rain last night after the rest of the check-ins. So how about that? I'll promise to come back. But anyway, nice job with the weather station. It sounds like you've got quite the set up there. You're well informed on your weather around the world and the West Coast and all the places that are where the folks are that you're talking to. So that's pretty neat for sure. I was going to comment on the Dodgers. I didn't watch the game today, but I just looked over here. It looks like the Blue Jays are leading the Dodgers three games to two in the World Series. So if the Dodgers want to have a chance, they've got to start winning games here, because Toronto just has to win one more to take the series. So yeah, we'll have to watch as we get down to these deciding games. So thanks for checking in there, Jeff. You have a great rest of your evening. OK, next up on the list is Tree, KA7FKB. Hi, Tree. Good evening, Brooks and Megan and everybody else on the net. Hope everyone's doing well. We're almost at the end of the week, just two more days to go. I am definitely looking forward to a weekend. Yeah, came home a bit late this evening, got wrapped up with things that work kind of late. And I just put in a DVD-ROM reader into my computer, because I haven't used one in a long time. But I have this DVD of this show called A Booth at the End. And it's just a series about a guy who sits in a diner in the booth at the end. And people, by word of mouth, hear about him. And they come to him, and they say, I want this thing. And he consults his book. And he says, well, if you do this thing, you'll get what you want. So some people ask for ridiculously easy things. And they get them. And then some people ask for some really horrible, hard things. And they potentially get them, too, at a price for what they had to do for it. It's a very interesting series. So anyway, I'm going to try to watch that, because I don't have any other way to watch it other than on the DVD. Who has a DVD player anymore? At least one in their computers. I think they stopped putting those in laptops like mid 2010s, something like that. So yeah, I think that's all I have this evening. Just wanted to jump on and yak over RF. So mission accomplished.

And I was like, I don't think I've had, even a DVD writer, I believe, which, you know, that was back in, what, 2006 or something, I don't remember.

It had a floppy drive and so that was kind of fun, too. But anyway, good luck with that. That's definitely a great reason to install that in your computer, to watch an old series you have.

This is Justin, KK7QES. I have a whole lot to report on tonight. It was pretty quiet around here. My wife made pumpkin chili, which is one of our favorite fall dishes and totally hit the spot on a chili night. My girls spent all night working on crafts and stuff like that. They were totally just in the zone. I played guitar for a while and zoned out and I completely forgot that there was a baseball game on tonight. Until I was flipping through my phone, looking at something and then, oh no, I missed the game. After seeing the result, I was kind of okay with missing it. I am rooting for the Dodgers in this one, like Jeff. Bummer to not get to watch any of it. Anyway, I wanted to say though, a silly anecdote about this World Series. One of my favorite things for the Dodgers games at home through the playoffs has been hearing their organist, who is amazing by the way, intersperse popular songs played on the organ throughout the game, is hearing the K-pop demon hunters songs being played in Dodger Stadium. If those of you are not familiar, this is like one of Netflix's most popular shows of all time. It is about a K-pop band that hunts demons apparently. I don't know, my girls are really obsessed with the music. I am not really a K-pop fan, but whatever makes you happy and makes you want to move is cool. Anyway, my girls and I crack up every time we hear the K-pop demon hunters songs being played by the wonderful Dodgers organist. I think that is all I got for tonight. I will send it back.

So I'll have to ask her if she knows what the songs are. We'll turn the game on. Maybe I'll have to YouTube it. But that's pretty funny. All right, good stuff there Justin.

So, I'm Brooks Canine BBC. We had here at the house... Last week, we had a sewer backup problem, and so we had to call the plumber out and they had to snake the sewer line, and so that happened, and so we thought that we were all good, but last night, we wouldn't flush the toilet and the water started to back up again into the tub, and that was a bad sign, but... So, what we were able to do this time, we were able to give a call to a family friend, or a family member. Megan's cousin's husband is a plumber, and we gave him a call and he came riding in on his white horse, that is a white plumbing van, and brought the camera snake and put it down the sewer line there, and was able to figure out why we were having problems, and we had some roots in there, which I'd known about before, I'd actually had them cleaned out before, and he was able to get those cleared out, and we're good and clear for now. It sounds like the sewer line is not in too bad a shape, so it's not at the point where it needs to be replaced or anything, but for the time being, we are back in action. But yeah, standing outside in that pouring rain last night at about 9.30 PM, as I was holding the light for him to use the snake on the sewer line, was not a whole lot of fun, but it was totally worth it, because now our plumbing works.

Saturday, November 8th is the next PSRG educational meeting at 1 30 p.m. on Zoom. The topic is amateur radio and space operating ham radio satellites in the ISS. Presenter is Mike, KV8VNY. Come find out how to work ham radio satellites using the modest equipment with an emphasis on operating the ISS. Access the onboard repeater APRS digi, digi-peter and speaking with crew members will be covered along with satellite operating fundamentals and of course what equipment to use. If you ever wanted to prepare ham radio satellites but thought it was too expensive and too complicated you'll want to see this presentation. You can do it. KV8VNY will show you how. The zoom link for this meeting is available now on the website at PSRG.org. November 22nd and 23rd is the repeater roundabout, a weekend-long event held on many of your local repeaters. The goal is to meet new people and work repeaters you might not usually key up. It's also a great way to get started with ham radio contests for folks who are primarily repeater users. Light up the airwaves and make some noise on the greatest repeaters in Washington and Idaho. Anyone with a ham radio license can participate. This is a friendly and collaborative event for all FM users on DHS and UHS.

Toronto is like, someone mentioned, one game away from winning that series. You know, I remember when Chevester Green was built. I remember when Dodger Stadium first opened. About the same time that the Angels started up too on the other side of town there. I saw that age myself a little bit there. Shohei Ohtani, he is, I have to say he's the best ballplayer I've seen in my lifetime. Monday night, they walked in the last four times he came up. It wasn't even pitched to him. And he comes out the next night, yesterday, well the last night he pitched. I mean, just an incredible ballplayer. Yeah, yeah, I mean, all considered, I never saw a ballplayer like him. Well, this is about all I have to say. The 1049 Green was a wild one raining.

That's a lot of fun. Yeah, we have not turned it on. It's just been super busy. But yeah, Toronto's one game away from winning, so let's hope the Dodgers come back. Yeah, I think we watched one game. I can't remember. It's all running together. Time's running together. Glad to hear you're keeping yourself entertained. Pretty fun that you remember when Dodgers Stadium opened. I don't know if anyone out here knows the answer to this, but my coworker was asking me today why there is one Canadian team in the Major League Baseball, but no other teams from around the world. And I was like, you know, that's a really great question, so I'll have to do some research on that. I don't know if anyone else knows the answer to it. Give Brooks a slide there. You're trying to answer me. I'm in the middle of trying to respond here. And yes, Shohei Atani. Brooks agrees with you there, Fred. He is an incredible baseball player. Just astonishing the things that he can do. When we were watching one of the games before the World Series, the ACL games, I don't even remember now, when he hit that home run and hit it out of Dodgers Stadium, yeah, he's something very special. So we agree with you there, Fred. You stay warm and dry. 49's not too chilly, but the raining can make it definitely chilly. Take care there, and we'll talk to you again soon. Alright, it is 956 pm. I'm K9MLR. Megan, we had an I.O. from Cody, AG7LR. And now we're going to go talk to Robert, and I apologize, Robert. I butchered your call sign. It's 887-W-E.

I generally like to sit out here, but I notice it's getting kind of cold, so I might have to actually move my radio spot indoors for the rest of the winter, which is kind of a bummer. It's been such a nice summer. I'm hoping to get outside tomorrow or the next day to do something outdoorsy, because I know the weekend is going to be kind of rough. Not a lot to report today. The only thing I've been up to is putting together some parts for an antenna. I'm trying to build something that goes between 6 meters and 20 meters that I can take out for PODA, so I'm hoping to use that. Maybe tomorrow or Friday if I can get it done and if I'm able to find a few hours to sneak away from work. So that's what I'm hoping for.

So I'm with you there. It's a bummer. We got to put it away for the rainy months. But hopefully they will pass quickly and we can get it all back out soon. And that's why we live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, right? We get lots of rain. Good luck on that antenna there, project there, Robert. Hopefully you'll be able to sneak out of work a little bit early and work on that some more. I always find that fun when we get to sneak out and play a little bit because I know we all work hard. So you take care. We'll talk to you again soon there. All right. And last but not least on my list here is Brian, KE7KZH, our Sunday night net host. Take it away Brian. Hey, good evening Megan and Brooks there. You know, you're KE9MLR. I am KE7KZH. It's been a long day. I've been on call the past two days. My on call schedule for work used to be two weeks on, four weeks off. And it recently changed to two days on, four days off. So it changed the schedule a lot. It kind of helps with the burnout to kind of get real burnt out doing that two weeks straight. But then the other thing is like it's constantly every week, every week offset by one day. So anyway, today was particularly bad for those that know the company I work for. If you saw the news tonight, very, very bad outage there. So it was quite the day. I'm quite exhausted there. So happy to not have to be on call tomorrow and be able to recoup a little bit. So not much else. I just want to comment there. I guess I'm a big proponent of the physical media, optical media specifically. But heck even old tapes and everything in this world of streaming is convenient. But it's also a world where you own nothing. You have the rights to nothing. And as K7PJP said, there are certain things you cannot find on streaming. And the prevalence of that physical media is dwindling. So if you have it, hang onto it because you might be the only library of it in the future to come. So anyway, thanks for that. I'll send it back to K7PJP."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-29T22:04:22+00:00","id":71882,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":71881,"text":" Well, Brian, you're not the only one, as we call it at school, riding the struggle bus today. I am right there tonight, trying to run the net riding the struggle bus myself. Glad to hear you're now headed into your four days off after your two days on the call. And yeah, I do know what company you're talking about because I got an email about the outage today, but it sounds like everything got resolved and it was back up. I think, I don't know. They were working on a solution. I don't know, there were so many emails today, I don't remember. But interesting that they changed it to two days on, four days off, from two weeks on to four weeks off. That's a big change. But like you said, it helps with the burnout because the four weeks off is great, but the two weeks on could be a long time if there's lots of things going on. And super fun that you're a big proponent of having DVDs, CDs, all those things as well. Yeah, they're important to have, especially if there's certain things, like you said, you can't find anymore. I definitely ran into that this week looking for that Charlie Brown pumpkin thing for the kids to watch. I don't know what my brain is, right?

One example of that, like where he doesn't want people to view him less, is he always tells me, don't tell anybody about a mom being gone and about your brother being gone. I don't want people to look at us less. So he constantly wants to conceal those kind of things. Reality.

I used to think that was funny stuff. And the guy that made fun of Bob Ray, when Bob Ray was our premier, I thought that was funny too. Kind of spot on. So yeah, they made some pretty good impressions. Well, I don't know if the rest of the world knows, I mean, I think like PBS, certain American networks did have them on, and they knew that they were a political satire team. So, some people know them, but I don't know, I'm not sure if they're worldwide, but the problem is, they wouldn't really be funny worldwide. They would be funny if they're doing Canadian humor, because they're playing out with Canadians, so they're goofing on things that you would know about, right? Like when they would goof on Brian Maroney. I mean, what's somebody in the UK going to care about that? Unless they're, unless they might be, well they're not, but unless they're making fun of someone in the UK. So, yeah, that's kind of how that works. Yeah, no one's going to care that they're making fun of Trudeau, for instance, right? So, wow, Trudeau's old man. I don't think they were around to see the kid, or maybe they'd have a lot of new material, right?
