Hello, Happy Monday, and holyhell, this is always a very tough
Monday to go back to work aftera long holiday weekend, usually always after
Thanksgiving because Thanksgiving was always on Thursdayand you always gets the long weekend.
So back to the grind. Ofcourse, no problem for me. I
did end up doing pretty much well. I'll tell you a couple of things
(00:25):
I did. Let me talk aboutThanksgiving. I hope everybody had a great
Thanksgiving. I made a I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I'm gonna admit this
to you guys. And as aas a chef who worked in a restaurant
for twelve years and cooks every singleday, I shouldn't be telling you this,
but I'm going to. I won'tsay it on YouTube. I made
a smoke turkey, smoked it overapple wood, injected it with a homemade
(00:48):
Creole garlic butter sauce, and Iglazed it with a homemade honey bourbon sauce.
Yeah, honey bourbon I made withsome jim Bean bourbon and some other
stuff. And it wasn't edible.Now now check it out. That was
so. Thanksgiving was Thursday, andwe had one friend over Thursday who usually
(01:12):
you know, we'll have somebody everdidn't have a family or a place to
go whatever. You know, youdon't stay home for Thanksgiving if I could
help it. So that was Thursday. Then Friday, all of the kids
and grandkids were coming over. SoI said, honey, I'll make this
the smoke turkey, the smaller oneThursday, and then you make yours Friday.
Thursday's turkey was an abomination. Imean it looked great, it smelled
(01:34):
great. The backyard was just smokedout. Thought the fire department was coming
and we were cutting into it.It just man, it was dry.
God. I even had wood soakingfor days and I was just stoking in
there to just get maximum smoke.And man, it was dry. So
(01:55):
that sucked. But we redeemed ourselveswith Michelle's turkey, which I originally had
started doing that. I you know, because back in the day she would
make a turkey just like everybody else. I was like, no, you
gotta be different, so our turkeythis time she did. She made an
herb fresh herb wrote fresh herb butterwith thyme, rosemary and sage chopped up,
(02:19):
putting the herb in the butter,and then she tucks everywhere in the
skin, I mean all the nooksand crannies. And she stuffed it with
oranges and lemons, a couple ofonions and clove of garlic smashed up and
thrown in there, and some freshtime as well inside, and then we
put bacon over the top of it. Well, then she she coated the
outside with this herb butter as well. Then we put bacon streaks over the
(02:43):
whole top of it, and thebacon renders down, the fat drips down
with the turkey, and man,the best turkey gravy you've ever made is
in a pan. Uh And thatcame out amazing. So that was the
redeemer there. And of course thekids and grandkids never showed up. Everybody's
fighting or everybody hates. I meanone son of his girl and his kids
(03:06):
showed up. And then I hada friend from work who his family's out
in north so I said, comeon over. Everybody else just kind of
shipped the bed man and so butyeah, I made so many signs.
I made an ultimate smoked Yeah.Of course everybody wants to call on trying
(03:27):
to do a podcast mobile hair uh, So the ultimate smoked Guda Mac and
cheese that I ground with a wheelof Guda shaved braded parmesan, cheddar,
Colby jack huh, some other whatevercheese I threw in there, and then
topped it with bacon, cheddar cheeseand crackers over kabatappi pasta. You know,
(03:52):
made the sauce with the roue andthe cream and all that heavy cream,
and cooked it down with the cheese. Oh it's amazing. It was
freaking amazing. And the green Beecast are all anything made from scratch.
You know, we don't use cansof prema mushroom soup. Put the mushrooms
in therese altatum, it's a butterwith some milk and some stock in there,
and cooked it down that We usedgarlic, peppercorn, French fried onions
(04:13):
on top. Oh amazing. Imean so much more, my my fuji
apple sage and bacon panchetta stuffing.Oh so to die for. But all
this stuff we've been eating, we'reeating it one more night tonight because there's
just so much. And after thatwe are back to our regularly scheduled program.
(04:34):
So hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving. I spent yesterday working on my
satellite tracker. If you haven't seenthe videos, it was about four years
ago. I made an autonomous satellitetracker with some servos and ESP eighty two
sixty six USA boards and I gotthe plans the plans online from u Elwood
(04:57):
Downey from Clear Sky Institute, whoall this stuff in there. Then it
was a you know, it givesyou this, it says go and then
you have to modify things and putit together your own way or whatever.
So I took that out and triedto work at a ninety two satellite and
you know, I forgot It.Took me all of Saturday to remember.
(05:17):
I had to watch my own videospart one, part two, part three
in the final part to figure outwhat I even did with this, and
couldn't remember the IP address, Icouldn't remember how to log into it just
and that. Tried flashing it witha new sketch for the or do we
know ide and couldn't figure out whatthe errors were, which I fought with
years ago, with library numbers andstuff. It was a mess. Spent
(05:38):
the entire Saturday. Got it working, then the elevation was not calibrated or
something missed the pass. But backinto the satellite tracker's been sitting for years
and a lot of I guess theservos that I use they don't make anymore.
And people are always still commenting onthis video, like, hey,
(05:59):
dude, I want to build thisnotesm in some ears. What are your
tips and tracks? Where I getthe servos that are not there anymore?
They're not made anymore. Well,it takes a I guess I'd have to
go through the whole thing and seewhat parts are sourced wear some of them
are still available. He's got towrite up on there. Just google if
you're interested, Just google Clear SkyInstitute Satellite Tracker. It's the best thing.
(06:19):
It'll be the first one. It'llsay Autonomous Satellite tracker. And this
is the creator that made the hamclock. But I sold my hamclock.
It was in the wood frame andstuff. But you can make them all
with this and make it with anHTM, my output and Wi Fi and
stuff and make your own hand clock, which is pretty cool. Put it
(06:39):
on TV, put it on amonitor in your room for your hamshack.
Whatever that is on his thing too, on his website, Clear Sky Institute
Satellite Tracker. He should find itbecause I can't put a link here right
now. I also got a videoin the works of the Retievis RT ninety
five duel band radio and I didfind a retievis that was sent to me
(07:09):
eight months ago and it's been missingin the box I found it. I
need to put one of these inmy vehicle for simplex operations. I think
the other one I have to sendback. I think so that the one
is just going to be for youknow, simplex and stuff like that.
So I got those working on it, and last night I did a video.
(07:30):
Well, first of all, forBlack Friday sales, HAMD Radio prep
my sponsors give a plug now,they were given away the all access pass
with the Tech General Extra, theballfing basics, lifetime access, VIP support
and whatever for seventy nine dollars insteadof three hundred total. And then with
the code Eric twenty you save anadditional twenty percent. I made a little
(07:53):
short video on that. There waslike twenty twenty five people that jumped on
that on who used the code,So basically, twenty five more people are
taking that plunge to go Tech Generaland Extra all at one time. That'd
be great. Then last night Imade a video on I so HAMD radio
preps sent me some books eight monthsago, six months ago, and these
(08:16):
are these are the paperback books fortheir tech in their general because people there
are people out there that don't wantto study online. They want to use
paper. So I made a videoand I said, you know, I'm
gonna give away these ten technician classmanuals. I'll pay the ship them to
you myself as Christmas gifts for youto give somebody else that you know what's
(08:37):
going to hand license. So basicallyI'm providing the stocking stuffers or the gifts
and you give it to somebody andsay that you got it for them whatever.
But that way I could you know, there's ten people potentially I can
get interested in the hand radio justby mainly off ten books. And then
that I said, to first tencomments that say I want the tech manual
(08:58):
and put their all sign or emailso I can look him up and contact
him, I'll take the first tenand send him. Well, that happened
so fast that I got ten generalbooks. I'm gonna do the same thing.
So if you know anybody that isa tech and you want to bump
them to get to a general oryou want to get a general and gift
yourself because you might not have aChristmas present. Well watch that video come
(09:20):
the next couple of days, andthat would be twenty books all ship out.
Thanks to HAMBRADYO Prep for sending thebooks. I was gonna give them
away or landom handcasion, but Ifigured, well, you know, to
hand them out people. But thisway people can. I could produce twenty
Christmas presents of Ham Radio Prep.So you know it never gets told.
Hamdbradio Prep makes it really easy toget a license to guys. People are
(09:41):
doing it every day. So thanksto HANDBRADYO Prep for that. Other than
that, I'm gonna try to getback into doing a video a day.
I got Jack's compact antenna short waveantenna on the barbecue grill I've been testing,
and a little twenty inch antenna receivingall kinds of shortwave. That's pretty
(10:03):
awesome. Got to show that anda couple of the things that maybe some
satellite passes or whatever back into thesatellite. So it'n til I bounce around
this hobbit. But one thing toanother, right, I was big into
d Start and all this stuff haven'tbeen on the start months. Actually over
a year now I'm into satellites again. That I'll get old, I'll go
into HF. I mean, I'mon HF mobile every day. But you
(10:26):
know, I jumped think the thing. I haven't touched the satellite tracker for
four years. Forgot how I evenput it together, made one contact,
two contacts on it. Four yearsago. It packed it away, So
here I am back to it.That's that's what keeps the hobby fun.
I've said this before. My Elmaalways taught me the Christmas presents or better
when they're wrapped under the tree.So that satellite tracker. I spent a
(10:50):
good seven months playing with that andstudying it and making it and tweaking it,
doing my own thing. Was soexcited. Gung Ho made a couple
of contacts. There it is fouryears later, I'm just taking it out.
Uh just like uh you know,uh, it's always cool. Wow,
I want one of that. Thatwould be awesome to have an FT
five D. Yeah, I wantthat. You get on APRS again infusion
(11:11):
with the AC radio and it sitsthere and does nothing. I haven't used
it with a couple of times.So that's how it works with my life
of handbridy and it keeps it interesting, keeps it fun. Uh if you,
if you, If you, I'mnot an expert, I never want
to be. If I become anexpert, that pilot has Bourbon Pichan coffee
on the billboard. Wow, thatsounds pretty good. Uh. If I
(11:33):
become an expert, and then itjust gets old and there you go,
the fun is over and you boreyourself on the ham radio. So this
week I'm gonna be driving all week, so I will be on Simplex.
I will be on the gm RSUnetwork down there South Day GMRS. I
registered with them, checked out theCode of Ethics and whatever, So I'll
(11:54):

The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
