Do you want me to see a thyroid on you? Oh yeah, I'm getting my thyroid scan tomorrow. So everyone wish me luck on that. My T4 is, I think it's supposed to be between 2 and it was 3.87 or something like that, off scale high basically. And the last three blood tests, it's been high like that. So they're going to check it out and they're going to scan my th...

Oh did I time out? Oh gee whiz. Rick Biauto had a band called Billionaire and I was trying to find, he said they recorded an album and I was trying to find that and to know a veil. So I'm really interested to know what billionaire sounds like and so hopefully I can be more successful in my search for that in the future. And there was something that I want...

I brought back some memories. But the crown jewel of the night was this here in McLaughlin humbling towards ecstasy album. And I ran into that because Rick Bioto and a couple of YouTubers, Rick Bioto, some of you may know, and the professor of rock teamed up and did, are doing a channel together. And they were talking about things and they mentioned the s...

Yeah, my friend Pat in Hawthorne, California, he set up a camera on his tower and it's just amazing how that neighborhood lit up with people setting stuff off. And I guess it's not legal. So they were all taking a risk doing that. I wonder how many people went to jail. But anyway. Yeah, the show. I thought the show was a pretty good one. I really enjoyed...

Clay. All right, the fireworks are still going off. I can't focus. Clay and Rachie, please give us your reports. This is your own zone right here in Seattle, Washington asking for you. KG4OZW, this is KX2CW over to you. KX2CW and the net, this is KG4OZW, Clay and Rachie. Hey everyone. Boomers, yeah, we had some boomers yesterday, but none today, we had qu...

grandparent. But we only have to go back to a great-pack grandparent because my grandpa was their son, one of their 15 children that they gave birth to in Michigan. Anyway, but back to Clay, KG4O is the W who demonstrated correct or very courteous operating practice clay. I've got my PODA book and it has three appendices. One is the Q codes, the Q signals...

I could see in the window, I could see the light sitting off fireworks right down on the street level behind the buildings. It sounded like artillery fire. It sounded like 75 millimeter howitzers, which they won't let you go to sleep. So finally, the last time I looked at the clock, it was 3.30 and I managed to go to sleep. But then Sunday they were sitti...

that Rachey and Kim have done some mind work and tracing census records and stuff so that we know for high degree certainty that our great grandfather and great grandmother were born in Quebec and emigrated to Michigan and we only have I've also found out that the Canadian citizenship play I forget who said this to me recently people are still sitting off...

Two tablespoons warm water, one shot, farber, pucks a espresso roast, or one fluid ounce dark roast coffee, brewed double strength, that's what I do, a double strength all the way. And six fluid ounces of hot milk. Yes, that's it. See, they've got a recipe, and I don't follow this recipe, but this recipe sounds a lot like my method. Let's go. Give me my y...

because it's like extra chocolatey, but it's not sweeter. It's just extremely chocolatey. And the sweetener is cane sugar. It's like Mexican cokes. Let's see, cane sugar, cocoa, cocoa, processed with alkali. I guess they call that Dutch chocolate, dark chocolate, and cocoa butter, soy lefthas, lefthin. I actually have a bottle of lefthin. I can't say it,...

But it's just a box of the Starbucks hot cocoa double chocolate described in the boxes decadent bits. Decadent bits of real dark chocolate blended with rich cocoa. And it does have chunks of dark chocolate, you know, chocolate in it. And so it's not just double chocolate, but it's less sweet. You know, some of the cocoa mixes are just sweeter than I like...

Well, I am back. Thank you, Sean. You gave me ample time. I was able to retrieve the cup and even put a lid that I've drilled a hole in so I can put a plastic straw in it and I actually used the bathroom and moseied back and I've been sitting here at my desk listening to your report. Yes. And, you know, wait. The problem is living in America, even for peo...

that dialogue.

whatever it was outside today, I'm going to assume it was in the 80s. My place would probably be about 10 or 20 degrees warmer than that, so I was roasting in here. And I'm surprised because my fan has yet to blow up from all the running I have made it do. So just to keep cool. But I'm sure a lot of us are doing that right now. Anyway, that's my report. I...

and then you end up in the winter time doing things you shouldn't. And then summer comes along and you gotta wear it off. So I commend you for managing to do what you did. Keep doing what you need to do for you because, you know, obviously you and your doctor worked out where you can manage it. And that's good. On the bright side, yes, I nibbled on someth...

Wow, quite golden yellow with a hint of pink not too far off in some, I guess that's the cloud that I saw. Sorry. Anyway, I noticed that today. And yes, I was sitting here nibbling on something I shouldn't have had, but considering for several days I'd be managing to stay on my diet. And thank you, sir. I will continue with the encouragement I just heard...

whispering the word is too much. That's how I am with style dressing. Anyway James, take care and I'm so glad and I can't wait to see you at the picnic. Alright, next on the list is Sean KG7EXM33Sean and while you're giving a report I'm going to go back into the kitchen and retrieve my my Joan Brew Moka I just made earlier today and etc. Anyway I'm writin...

figurative expression like, oh, the weight on my shoulders is lifted now. I don't, I don't have to be responsible for that thing, whatever it is. But literally, it's a weight has been lifted. It's like, you don't have to carry it around with you anymore. You know? So I still want to lose weight. Even though my PCP says I'm not overweight, I just, I'm like...

weight loss, you know, that you have a much healthier weight. And I'm not going to ask the particulars of your height and everything and where you are in a chart somewhere. But the main thing is you sound great, James. You know, it probably was not easy to get your weight down that much. But it's, everything's easier. You know, I felt like I've been overw...

Joan. Wow. Thanks for the compliment, by the way. I'm gratified to his old-fashioned word that you and others say that they love how I'm running this and making Monday night. You know, when I first started doing Monday night, it was like a dying night. It was like nothing happening. It was like what at least popular nets. And then I took it over and I mus...

They're hanging on me, so I need like a 32 inch waist. So I need to buy new pants because these are hanging on me. And my daughter is complaining me, she says, you don't have a butt. And I don't. I don't have a butt anymore. So I'm not taking insulin. It's off of my official list of medications. No more insulin. That's, I feel great. No more insulin left....

started and it took a long time. So if we fast forward through time, that was like over three years ago. Today I saw my regular doctor and officially I'm taking insulin off of your list of medications because you're not taking it anymore. I'm going to pause. And I weigh 183 pounds. No, I weigh 180. 180 pounds. And that's down from over 350 pounds. And the...

and winding road. Some of you may remember when I went to the picnic some three years ago, maybe four years. Anyway, I was crumbling through life and I weighed a lot. I was diabetic. I was on insulin and I weighed a lot. I was over 350 pounds and I thought, you know, it was like smoking. One day I woke up and I said, I like to breathe. I'm going to just q...

But anyway, take care, Mike. Next on the list is WQ7H James. James, please give us your report. This is Joan Kax, 2C-W-FQ. WQ, 7H, James, good evening everyone. It's nice to hear Cami and Robert and all the ships at the sea. Thank you Joan for doing this wonderful, and that Mondays are just awesome. Even if I don't check in, I'm usually lurking. Anyway, I...

will stay cool because I have an air conditioner. It's just in the red bedroom. It's actually not a very efficient one because it's a single hose type. But my bedroom's only 9 and 1 half each square. So my dad's third wife had a bigger walk-in closet than my bedroom. I thought her about walk-in closet was about the size of my living room. Anyway, so I've...
