Met Control, this is Mike Mike Zero, Romeo Kilo November, Mike Mike Zero, Romeo Kilo November, Carrie and Motherwell Scotland. OK, we'll put on the breaks there, that's, what do I got, seven actually beat, because Missy wanted to be put on the end of the list, so she very well may put the rips on it. So I've got Gail, Glenn, Roy, Terry, Phil, Honorary Check, Mel, Honorary Check, and Carrie, and Missy. So let's go to the top and see if Gail is there. Kilo ECT from KK7's in the net. I am here and thank you so much for putting me on this, I do appreciate that. Well, it's good to be 89 today, it might rain, we'll have to kind of wait and see. I never, I always had jobs that, my W-2's were actual jobs, not when I was a young person kind of jobs. I've done counseling for blind people, and most of my job was being a vending operator, and the telephone operation for a while, the telephone operation I guess was the weirdest one, because with one of these companies that they did collect calls for prisoners, and man I tell you, those guys gave extensive phone calls. Anyway, I'll have a wonderful day, and we'll probably see you guys all tomorrow. I don't know what your business call on the list, I mean the net, Missy or me, but I'll be there to help one way or the other, K-0 ECT. Thank you there, Gail, glad we got you in there. Yeah, you were making me think, remember, there was a time that you could hit the zero on the phone and get an operator, I don't think that happens anymore. If you had to make any kind of calls and collect calls, yeah, I remember calling cards and all that, there's so many flashbacks with the telephone, so. Anyway, thank you Gail, say hi to Hank for us, and let's go to Gwen, I'm glad you got in there Gwen, K-6 TKR from TK-7's unit. Good morning Joe, and thank you very much, and good morning to everybody else on the net. I think I finally made it back to life, still a little bit nasal, but I feel 100%. I just thought I'd throw a couple of fun things in before I get to the real job, but one of the first as a kid was through BoysLife, I got involved in burpee seeds, I don't know if you remember burpee seeds. I would run around town and try to sell these seeds, and it was mostly people felt sorry for me, so they would buy a few bags of seeds there. Then painted house numbers on curbs, and mowed lawns, so those things were fun. Out of one or two things, which was the first legit job in high school, furniture appliance company, drive truck, bed sets, so we drove it to the house and actually unloaded and installed those parts. The most interesting one is that I was a stock boy at a liquor store there in Ridgecrest, which was a very small town at that time in the middle of the Mojave Desert. The liquor store was owned by a relative of Ray Manzara, who was part of The Doors. It was interesting because every once in a while he would come into the store for whatever reason, I don't know, but The Doors were very popular at that time and that was certainly a lot of fun to experience. And then sort of a side job is I was rhythm guitar player for a band called The Reason Why, and so we played all the county fairs and stuff like that. And actually it was fairly lucrative, I was enough money to actually buy my first car. So anyway, that's all I have for you this morning. This is K6-K-R, back to net. K6-K-R, K7, November, Quebec, November, All Star, Node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. Well yeah, I sure do remember the Burpee Heats. Yeah, I remember those very well, of course, being on the farm. You know the funny thing about living on the farm is I could kill a plastic plant today. I was just a kid then, I didn't do all the stuff, but I had never been able to grow stuff. And yeah, I certainly mowed lawns and plowed driveways in the snow in the winter. But yeah, working in the stockroom in a liquor store, I might have a problem there because I like my fine wine. So yeah, who knows there. Being in a band would be cool. If I ever had a dream thing, I think I'd love to be in a band. Probably on today's world I think you can make a whole lot, but back in the day I think that would have been really cool and a whole lot of fun. So there you go. Yeah, Rayman's there, yeah. A lot of people forget about The Doors, everybody knows Jim Morrison, but that's one of the bands that a lot of people don't know the rest of the band. So I do know that name. Thank you Glenn, glad we got you in there. And let's go to Roy. This is kind of a rare treat. I know Roy keeps a busy schedule. So K7PPL from KK7. Good morning Roy. Well good morning Joe, I hope I'm doing okay. Because I set my levels and it didn't seem to be the same. So hopefully I got it right this time. Anyway, my first job, yeah I worked at a plant in rural Nebraska that made powdering products. And the other side of the plant they had eggs came in from local farmers all around. And they had machines that separated the oats from the whites and came over to my side of the plant. And we had these big dryers, it was like a big metal box with sprayers on the wall. And it was 147 degrees, if I remember correctly in there. And by the time the spray hit the floor it was dry. And then these augers and so forth got out of the big box. And then it wound up after a series of augers and all sorts of metal things and whatnot. The part where I was, where this big shaker thing would shake all the lumps out of it. All day long man, it was all man. Anyway, my job was to make sure that there was within 4 ounces of the correct weight whether it was a giant 150 pound drum or a tiny 6 pound bag. And those little, I couldn't keep up with the 6 pound bags every so often. But every 10 minutes it would happen to me. That was horrible. That only happens a few times otherwise I think I would have quit. Anyway, I used to wonder a year when I'd open that thing up and this big cloudy yellow dust would come up and get yellow, orange disease. Anyway, back to you. KI-7, PK up. That's funny, that's good. Well you know at least the powdered eggs were actually eggs. Somehow I think if you went to look on a box of powdered eggs today it probably wouldn't have any egg in the ingredients. I'm glad we got you in there and had yourself a great day. Your audio sounds fine, you sound good. Yeah, that 3039 is it on there today? Yeah it's on there, I haven't heard anything from it. We've got a lot of interference popping in the last... ...all my groups of a lot. Is there anything coming through it today? So, I'm glad we got you in there. We've got a lot of interference popping in the last... ...all my groups of a lot. Is there anything coming through it today? So, yeah, I don't know what's up with that. Was it a great day there? Let's go to Mr. Terry 87MR from KI-7's unit.
