Good morning. It's nine o'clock. It's time for the nine o'clock net for Monday, August 4, 2025. I'm Jack KI7RMU. I'll be your host for this morning. This is a directed social net that happens on the WW7 PSR 2 meter repeater, which is operated by the Puget Sound Repeater Group. If you'd like to join us, come ahead now with your call sign and name, please. G7FWB. All right, Bill, I've got you. Who's next, please? KIVA Delta 7, Papa Whiskey Bravo. Napa In-N-Out. All right, we have two days in a row. We have the pirate Dave. That's high desert pirate, Brianville. And I've got the AG7. Nope, nope, sorry. Sorry, Dave. AG6EG with an I. Oh, thank you, Dave. Appreciate that down there in California. More stations, please. KJ7VEU, Mike. All right, Mike, I've got you. Thank you so much. Anybody else? Kilo Zero Echo Charlie Kilo Zero Echo Charlie Kilo, Gail. Well, good morning, Gail. Stand by. We'll get you in shortly. Let's go back to the top and talk to Bill, KJ7FWSB. How's your Monday, Bill? Oh, hi, Jack. Yeah, Mondays are always a little slow, huh? Anyway, an hour out to Pirate Dave there. And morning to you. Just got back from washing my car, a bare car wash. And we got a meeting here, some kind of a... Mostly about bylaws and stuff like that, so. And yesterday we played about 20 games. Guess who won? About 12 of those. Big scores, too. Yes. So I did really good. Everybody else thought I did good, too. So that's about all I have. KJ7FWB. Now, there is no money bet on these games, Marjan. Is there? So are you like a rich man this morning? Well, I'm rich in plastic chips only. Back to you. Alright, well I guess it all depends on what you can trade those in for. And it sounds like probably not much, except for the glory of the win. I think that's probably enough for you there, Bill. Alright, well be nice to you, my friend. You have a great morning. Enjoy the rest of the day. And we'll talk soon. KJ7FWB. Let's go down to Primeville and pick it up in Oregon with Dave, the high desert pirate. Good morning, sir. Well, good morning, Jack and everybody on the net. Well, it's kind of a little bit of clouds this morning, but not too bad. And they're supposed to be dissipating away. Yesterday we did get another really nice thunderstorm yesterday evening. And we got a little rain overnight, so that was kind of neat. And yeah, things are not quite so hot. We haven't even gotten up to 60 degrees yet today. So definitely a little cool down in the weather for the next couple of days. And then nice and getting warmer again for the weekend. So that works for us. And let's see, other than that, not a lot going on down here. Got a little shopping to do on the usual Monday morning shores. So I think with that I'll turn it back to the net and say 73 is to all. And have a great week. Thanks for taking that this morning, Jack. KJ7FWB, Dave, the high desert pirate radio. Alright, Dave. Yeah, I like that cooler temperature weather for sure. We're really even now. Looks like Monday to Friday, 71 is going to be our low high. And our high high is going to be...high high. Oh boy, I really fell into that one, didn't I? 74 degrees. So boy, I tell you. And then Wednesday I heard we might have as much as an inch of rain. So boy, I tell you the summer garden is going to really love that. Hey, did you hear the KI7UEF flew up to Seattle for the last day of Sea Bear yesterday? Did you hear that yesterday by chance on the net? We had him in a couple of times. I checked in aeronautical mobile and I don't know what happened once he got here. I know Chris, KK7HD, and I think maybe Dean, KJ7WDB, and somebody else had a chance to meet up with him and hang out. So that was good. But did you hear that he made an update? Hey Jack, yes I did. I monitored a lot of that. And I believe he ended up landing in Auburn because they had some kind of a mix up at the Boeing field there so he couldn't get into Boeing. And I think Rebecca was going to meet up with him too. And I'm not sure if she did or not. But at any rate, yeah, I copied most of that. I talked to him up in the air a couple of times. And then also picked up on some other chit chat about him. So at any rate, it sounds like he had kind of an interesting flight up there. Hopefully he'll get back okay. At any rate, I decided to say 73s. And thanks for checking because he was very much aware that he had hit flown up. So back to you Jack, 87PWGB. Quick comment? I think we had Bill with a comment there. Just cut him off. Sorry Dave, or sorry Bill. Hey Dave, thank you so much. Well it's always good to know that if somebody's going to make a big trip last minute, well not really last minute but kind of, to the Seattle area to hang out. And I'm sure you know that we've got a contingency that can get down there and hang out with him and have some fun. So that turned out really good. Alright well hopefully Matt will have a chance to check in this morning. Alright Dave, thanks again. I think we had a comment on why KG7FWB. Let's go to Bill. Was that you Bill? Yes sir, that was. Talking about the weather, guess what? Sunday, August 10th. Forecast 81 degrees. KG7FWB. Alright well that sounds good to me. You might have to eat your ice cream quick or grab another napkin. But you know that sounds fine. And believe it or not if you remember the space by the pickleball court it's an ideal spot. Because around, I don't know, it must be maybe right around noon, that whole area becomes shady. So 81 in shade will be excellent. I cannot wait. Alright well thank you Bill, appreciate that. Alright Dave, if you have a great day, size 10 of course. Dave from California, ACC, AGC, oh god I can never get it right. AC6EG, there we go, Coast Guard checked in with an I.O. Let's go to Mike. Mike, good morning. KJ7VU. Hi Jack, I'll pause you in a second here. You haven't been on that long and I know I won't be here soon. Somebody's trying to get me to time out early. That's okay, I can play games too. Mine are a little more serious than that usually though. I'm from Detroit, you don't want to mess with people from Detroit. We have Italian friends in Detroit, I know a lot of Italian people in Detroit but that's beside the point. James Donaldson was a Seattle supersonic, was at the church yesterday after the 815 service up here in the Village. That was really interesting, he wrote a book, he's going around talking about mental illness and stuff, he's had his issues. As most of us have, if we're thinking about politics, yeah we have mental issues. It's just depression, it's normal for an American thing. That's okay, I've gotten used to it. I've been living in America all my life and I'm still trying to get used to it. I do love America as much as possible, most of the time. Still, I'm doing my laundry, I'm going to pull it out of the dryer, I just throw it in and throw it around the house. I'll let it dry that way, save a little energy. Don't need to heat the place anymore, that's for sure. It is 60 degrees outside. I'm going to go to the Senior Center, have some coffee and socialize. I could use a little mixed food. JJ, some of you, thanks for the check in Jack, and see you around. Alright, hey Mike, so yeah, James Thompson, wow, he was in the NBA a long time. Is he still 7 feet tall? I mean I know your spine will compress after a while, you do get a little bit shorter throughout the later stages of your life, not that he's in his later stages. In fact, I don't even remember how old he is right now, but he must be still 7 feet, huh? Yeah, that's the one question, he's just answering it, but yeah, he looks like he's about 6'11", still, you know. He's, oh let's see, he was, I think he's, I forget, but I hooked him up and he actually played for an Italian team after he graduated Wazoo and it was a basketball scholarship, one worked over in Italy for a team, and any team he got recruited by the Seahawks. Obviously, he talks about super sonics, after they won in 78 and 9, they won a championship and they said, this guy's good for us, and he worked for Lenny Wilkins and stuff back then. Yeah, that was really interesting to hear him talk about strategy, he was talking about some new, they were talking about expansion and stuff, and he said, he said, he should do some Division 2 stuff, and they do better in recruiting, and yeah, he's all into that, seriously, in management and everything, and yeah, he's a hard worker, and yeah, he's doing okay, he's successful, and yeah, he meets those friends up here in the village, I guess. And Saturday, he said, that's cool, yeah, he's a local, apparently. So, yeah, good seeing him, and he's probably up here part of Seafair or something too, there was hundreds of people up here on the weekend, Sunday was a lot more mellow. Thank you, Jack, thanks, TJ7. Alright, well thank you so much, Mike, yeah, I was up in the village there for Magnolia Fest on Saturday, I didn't see you around, I did find the local emergency hub folks, so that was really fun, hung out with them for a little bit, talked to them, saw some other people that I knew, and had a generally great time, then I got a burrito down by the gas station at the food truck there, and man, those things like the size of a burrito. Oh, so good, it was two meals. Anyway, alright, well you have a great day, Mike, thank you so much, and James Johnson gives back to his community in many ways, we appreciate that. Alright, well let's go down to Texas, Kyle, Texas at first, it's 12 minutes past top of the hour, 9, 12 AM, I'm Jack, KI7, RMU, let's go pick it up with Gail, K0, ECK, hi Gail. Hello everybody, Jack and everybody, just wanted to say hi to everybody, Mike, I had some rain today, I don't know, you can hear my third party traffic over here is active, which I won't complain about because that means he's moving around and not, you know, just laying in one spot, as long as he's talking, eating, and drinking, I'm just going to be a little bit more careful. I'm happy. Everybody have a great day, KI7, ECK. Oh, that is hilarious, what is your cat's name? Okay, maybe I'm, well, his name is actually Naoki, and we've been eating and animating stuff, but we call him Pit Cat, like the candy bar, and he's 26 years old, and you know, he's still enjoying life in the center of our world, and he's still having trouble grooming himself, so we've been having to cut off bunches of his fur to get him out of, but you know, what can you say, he has whatever privileges he gets. Anyway, that's the story, KI7, ECK, back to you, Jack. Uh, okay, wow, a 26 year old in human years is equivalent to a 124 year old cat. Wow, that is amazing. Okay, that's an old cat, right? Take care of Kit Cat there. Alright, thank you, KI, let's get some more stations for the 9 o'clock Met. I'm Jack, KI7, RMU, if you'd like to join us, come ahead, call a sign of me. This is John KI9, Julia Decobrado, fighting the angry bees on cloudy Kamino Island. Good morning, Jack. Hey, good morning, John, thank you very much for your eye, I appreciate that. I bet it's going to clear up a little bit later, and I think you might see some rain with the rest of us on Wednesday. You're probably looking forward to that. I think I am too, and so is my garden. Alright, John, thank you so much, more stations please, for the 9 o'clock Met. Thanks for watching.
