pocket three that I'm using as a webcam, which has
worked out very well. This is a sure Lapel microphone
and it's hot. I tried to find one by Hyle.

(03:42):
They don't make a Lapel microphone, so that is why
that is there. So I gotta hide myself over here,
so there we go. That's better right there, and then
we gotta go here. And I've only got one monitor,

(04:02):
so which is not a big deal. But it's different
than what I'm It's just it's I'm just it's just
different than what I'm used to. So that's all. So
let's see, all right there, that's a little bit better. Okay,
all right, let's uh, this is this is nice right
now because this is what you guys are gonna get

(04:28):
upset because right now the zoom chats muted. They can
hear me, but y'all can't hear them, so and they're
all yelling right now and you guys can't hear them.
So it's nice. It's nice. It's nice. It's nice having

weather down here at the beach for the last week,
and you know, it's uh, it's it's going well. So
we we get we get like a like a twenty
to thirty minute rainstorm every year, every day, every day,
and then it clears up and it's all nice and
sunny and warm and a little bit human.

uh Saturday, and it's a little bit of human. We
try to sit outside today and we're just like a
maybe not. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (05:42):
Is Galveston considered subtropic where you're at, like it isn't
Florida because they're gonna they get a rainstorm every every
day in Florida.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
For whye as far south as like well, like what
part of like, well, it's probably no, we're not that
far south. We're probably a little bit. We're probably about
even with Pensacola, I would guess. Okay, so we're not
we're north of Tampa and Orlando.

Speaker 7 (06:07):
This is a panhandle ish.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah yeah, basically yeah.

Speaker 8 (06:13):
So okay, though, but our humidity has only been one
hundred percent here, so it's all good.

I know that Freddy Mak has been having some some
tropical storms up there.

Mm hmmm, probably so actually probably so. Okay. So I
had a I had a really funny video I was
going to share with you guys tonight, and I'm gonna
have to wait because I can't find it. So I
got too much stuff on this computer, too much stuff

(09:37):
in my Let's see, who's messaging me on freaking Uh
yeah a FL can't for ANFL says he's just sitting
down to dinner.

Speaker 6 (09:47):
Yep, yeah, I saw that.

Speaker 7 (09:49):
That seems like bad planning. On o'clock at night, exactly.

Speaker 5 (09:55):
His time.

Speaker 6 (09:56):
We were talking a little bit. I told Bill Bill was
selling off his tank radio tumbler lightly so my man, Yeah,
I said, coming up next week. Yeah, I'm closing the
pull for the my supporters we're voting on which tank
radio twelve ounce no, sixteen ounce beer mug I'm going

(10:16):
to be making, and that's going to be the next
pre order here soon, good and.

Speaker 9 (10:21):
Pine glass or physical mug.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Pint glass pint.

Speaker 6 (10:25):
Glass mm hmm. I looked at the like the ones
with the handle, and I was like, that would be
so cool. But once I order everything and get the
shipping involved and then a little bit on the markup
and everything else, so like this thing's gonna be like
thirty thirty five dollars. No, I'm not going to charge
that for it.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (10:43):
Yeah, So we just went to a standard sixteen ounce
pint glass.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Pretty standard here. I've got that right there. Yep, So
that's not bad.

Speaker 9 (10:53):
And your thumbnail, I was wondering where your drink was,
what your glass was empty?

Speaker 8 (10:59):
And your thumbnail, Oh oh that's an old yeah, yeah,
that's a that's an old thumbnail.

Speaker 6 (11:06):
I wanted to be outside today with a cigar, but
it was just too too munkey.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Uh yeah. Yeah. We went down to the Strand today
and walked around the Strand district for a while and
today you did, yeah it did. We got rained on
when we were down there, but you know it's there's
enough covered areas down there where I mean, we stayed
out of the rain. Went inside, so Frank I found.

(11:33):
I found that the cigar shop.

Speaker 6 (11:36):
On sixty six one, Okay, the new lounge.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
It's not new, No. I went in there and talked
to that guy. Went in there. You go in there.
He's right next to a lawyer's office. He's right there
in the corner and it says cigars yeah yeah and
uh and and there's a vape shop that's just right
next to him. So I kind of thought it was
all part of the same thing, but but it's not.
So I go in there and you walk in the door,
and he's got plush couch and chairs, he's got a

(12:01):
fire an electric fireplace in the back. He's got a
big screen on the front wall, uh with with plush
chairs around a table, and another four chairs around a table,
and three couches around another table. And he's got a
bar in the back. Apparently it's all b yo b though.
That's all the liquor that's there is members liquor that
they keep there. So I talked to him for a
little bit. He has a he has a really good

(12:22):
selection of dome pepine Garcia, my father. The Dome peppine
Garcia label itself, the black label, the red label, and
I I so I was talking to him and when
I'm like, how long have you been here, He's like
six years. I'm like what. I'm like, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (12:40):
Looks new, right, right?

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, it does. So, long story short, he doesn't. He
doesn't sell. He doesn't sell liquor. He only sells cigars.
They request that you buy a cigar from them every
time you come in there. I'm like, okay, I'm okay,
shop exactly. And that's got that's gonna be my new
hangout spot because it's close. It's half distance to the

(13:04):
old one, the old one that that's down there on
the strand. They they still don't allow smoking inside. They
have an outside patty it, which is fine.

Speaker 6 (13:11):
But the se and their selection is not as good.
It's it's all house selection and things.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Right. So yeah, So that so I found that new spot.
So if we come back here for Winterfield Day next January,
that's where we're going. We're gonna go out there.

Speaker 6 (13:25):
We need to talk about next change. No wait wait wait,
you're right, you're right. I'm thinking for summerfield day.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah no, no, not summerfield day day. Yeah yeah yeah. So
so yeah, anyway, but thank you for finding that. I
had seen that place before. But like I said, there's
a vape shot like two doors down from I thought
it was all this that, you know, because a vape
shop a lot of times will have cigars in the window.
You're like, you go in there, they have a humid
or that's this big on the countertop. Yeah, or maybe

(13:50):
behind the counter and glass.

Speaker 6 (13:53):
Yeah, they just have these cigars out like.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah, yeah, they might have been in there for like
three years and nobody's rotated and you know yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 10 (14:04):
It's like the guys, this this was a backwoods Yeah,
this one's a good this one's a good A good
choice there.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
So plastic tip yeah right right, so smoking.

Speaker 6 (14:21):
Now I have a wood tip pipe and my corn
pop is a plastic tip.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
That's a pipe.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
That's a pipe pipe.

Speaker 6 (14:30):
I know, I'm I'm turning what you're saying. Yeah yeah,
but yeah man, I'm definitely wanted to try it because
we were just on the way out and I was
like that that looks like the lounge it.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Is, yeah, and it has a lot more a lot
more seating than the other place does anyway.

Speaker 9 (14:48):
So it's on sixty first.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Yeah, right, did you come off Why right as you
come off forty five, you turn on sifety first, that's
the main drag. You go down like maybe a half
a mile and stare.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
On the right.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
You got it's right next to Hooters. It's but it
was right before the Hooters, right before which the Hooters
is closed now, but the building is still there. Yeah,
it's going to say, but the the Hooters is on
the left, this place is on the right. If there's
a gas station right next to it, if you blink,
you're going to miss it. So you got to know
where it is. But I think it's just called Galveston's
Cigar Lounge. So just and you put it into Google Maps,

(15:21):
it will find it. So it's yeah, it's it's it's
gonna be a it's gonna be a cool spot. Eric
in the chat says, I passed my technician test on
the ninth and noise paperwork was submitted on the thirteenth,
So congrats, awesome to that man.

Speaker 6 (15:35):
Wait to give you and on the logs right, awesome.

Speaker 7 (15:39):
Hey, to wrap it back around, you mentioned winterfield Day yeah,
I saw that they have posted the twenty twenty six
rules or twenty twenty five rules for winterfield Day. Uh,
the I guess that went up the other day live
the other day.

Speaker 9 (15:53):
So well next to here's twenty six.

Speaker 6 (15:57):
Well, is there anything we knew that that maybe maybe
if there was a winterfield Day guy on the board
here that might be able to tell us.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
I missed the last couple of meetings because they're not
good about sending out notices. They I got an email
like the morning of saying, hey, we have a meeting tonight,
and I'm like, dude, I got plans to fight. I'm
not gonna be home. So I got a yeah. But uh,
I mean they're they're great group of folks, don't get
me wrong. But yeah, there was a couple of small changes,
but I don't think there's anything major on the on

(16:30):
the change on the docket, I don't think. But we'll
have them on probably early January to talk about winterfield Day.

Speaker 11 (16:36):

Speaker 1 (24:13):
I there's a little bit of spice to this, but
it's not hot I know.

Speaker 6 (24:17):
I was disappointed. I thought it was gonna be hotter.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
That's good. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (24:21):
Did you stop by Cooper's Farm on the way down.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
No, I got this at the King's In on the strand.
Oh yeah, they have it there now, so.

Speaker 12 (24:29):
Nice hm hm.

Speaker 7 (24:32):
So oddly enough, I have not broken a lens or
a pant. I do have the three sixty camera. I
actually mounted on the light bar when I when I
go off roading, uh and and do the three sixty
videos from from there. I've also hung it. It was kind
of funny. I hung it out off the the wench
out at an angle and it made it kind of

(24:55):
look like, uh like it was a drone following the
or in front of the bronco rolling backwards and that
was kind of an interesting view mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Brian W four mcg says he had his first successful
poda hunt today.

Speaker 5 (25:11):
Oh hunting is fun.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Wow, Yeah it is now is what I like to
do on road trips.

Speaker 6 (25:19):
Yep. Also, you like to listen to FT eight just
or not FTA. I'm sorry, slow scan TV.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
I do listen to slow Scan TV. Yeah, it's not
very successful when you're moving. I turned my phone onto
the to the Robot three sixty app and I and
I tuned to fourteen dot two thirty and it comes
in all kind of broken in bits because I'm seventy
five miles an hour down the road. It's just it's
not a very constant signal, I guess.

Speaker 6 (25:46):
And there's to be honest about your truck. There's a
lot of road noists coming from it too, so that's
going to throw up a lot of yeah, yep interference.

Speaker 9 (25:58):
So he is actually trying to decode the he's not
just listening to it.

Speaker 6 (26:01):
Yes, I know, it was just man I less road trip.
He was doing that. I kind of dozed off in
the back and my dream I dreamt of that noise
in my head.

Speaker 13 (26:14):
You're decoding pictures in your sleep.

Speaker 6 (26:16):
Now you start it comes across.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
You start eating this stuff too fast, and it'll get you.
It'll get you a little bit, a little bit now,
but nothing's this morning.

Speaker 7 (26:32):
I was on forty meters and spin at the dial
and got to seventy two hundred and somebody was blasting
slow scan TV and c W at the same time.
But I'm wondering, what would the images that they slow
scan on seventy two hundred be in line with the
garbage that you hear or what do you I was

(26:53):
sure it would.

Speaker 6 (26:54):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
Good question.

Speaker 6 (26:57):
Well did you try to just pull out the decider?

Speaker 7 (26:59):
And I didn't. I was live streaming at the time,
so I didn't. It was just interesting and I don't
want to be responsible for anything that anything at all
might gets might get might gets decoded.

Speaker 6 (27:13):
So Jason, I was trying to use that for super
chats and I just kept.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Dating and I can't can't stop Wow.

Speaker 13 (27:21):
So well, Tim, did you uh the bands were wide open?
Even ten meters was open this morning?

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Did you get anything?

Speaker 3 (27:29):
I did not.

Speaker 7 (27:30):
I had already shut down. I was I was watching
ham Church and I think I saw somebody posted in
there that they.

Speaker 13 (27:37):
That was yeah me I was on during was that
you playing on the yeah playing on the radio?

Speaker 1 (27:41):
And every open that you know. I did a PODA
on Wednesday and was pleasantly surprised about how open the
band was used my ft X one Optima for the
first time on a poda, and I was, I was,
I was surprised. It sounded really good. So I went
back the next day with my FTDX ten and board up.

(28:05):
I can I can tell a difference between those two
radios and the receiver quality. Ftd X ten is still
the winner. But oh yeah, yeah, big time. But but
I was the twenty meter fifteen and twenty meters was
was pretty open both of those days, so I was,
I was pleasanty surprised. I was like, man, I don't
want to go home making a bunch of contacts.

Speaker 6 (28:26):
So tell me more about ten meters. Lately, I know
the bay the solo cycles starting to degrade, for it
is it still up more than it's down now.

Speaker 13 (28:38):
A year where it kind of sucks anyways, just this
time of year, but as it starts cooling off towards
the winter. It was open today, which was odd. It's
still it's a little early for it to start opening up.
But yeah, should still get ten meters for a couple
of years, have a beer day?

Speaker 6 (28:56):
Yeah, yeah, because I remember like a year or two ago, Man,
it didn't matter what time. I just flipped on ten
meters and chili instantly.

Speaker 9 (29:07):
Yeah, it was always open.

Speaker 6 (29:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (29:10):
I did hear a lot of people in Brazil on
ten meters. I did try to reach out to them
and they didn't hear me at all.

Speaker 7 (29:17):
So I next Sunday, maybe instead of going to twenty,
maybe I'll switch over to ten.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
That's a good idea because I mean, if there's any
technicians out there with a new license that's they can
they can get on ten meters and talk to you.

Speaker 7 (29:35):
You know, I've tried that. I've tried going out there
and in calling CQ for a considerable amount of time
and nobody takes nobody shows up. Uh And it could
just be the time of year, the band conditions. Yeah,
I don't know. I'm wondering if if they've made that

(29:59):
investment yet as a technician into to an hf rig True.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Yeah, that's kind of a big next step.

Speaker 7 (30:09):
It is a big next step.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Or it can be I guess mm hm. Oh you
know that that doesn't sneak up on you. It's one
of those things where it's like it's like it's so
it's like it's starting, you're starting to feel the burn
but you can't stop eating it.

Speaker 6 (30:25):
It's so great. So I was downstairs the other day
and I was starting to eat some and I was like,
I'm going to save a lot of this for the stream.
And then I kept eating and eating and eating. Yeah,
I had like a last inch left. I was like,
I need to stop. But yeah, it's good. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (30:41):
Ah, you know.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
I put up a I put up a goal. I
finally got this goal thing working on my uh in
the chat. I don't know what you guys can and
can't see with that, but I got a goal at
the very top of the chat. You should see goal
zero with ten. So I put up a goal for
ten super chats. No matter what the mount is, I'm just.

Speaker 6 (31:01):
Eating more cotton candy.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Any more cotton candy. Yeah, that'll do it.

Speaker 9 (31:05):
So I put a goal on on one of the
few live streams I did for like a million dollars,
and I.

Speaker 5 (31:11):
Didn't get.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Well, I guess that's three hundred thousand dollars that YouTube
missed out on. So they should get you on that, right, So.

Speaker 9 (31:21):
I should I should do more live streams.

Speaker 6 (31:26):
I've been wondering how to utilize that.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
I don't know. Yeah, it's uh I'm not sure it's
I would think it'd put more text on the screen
than it does, but it's kind.

Speaker 6 (31:38):
Of given that easy. Next several live streams are kind
of serious and I got good guests coming on. I
still have this from Christmas, a box of sampler Christmas
things that I was doing sorts of before the stream.
There's like four of them still in there.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
See Dave've got Dave got you guys started there, So
thanks David.

Speaker 6 (32:05):
The comment the comment on mine when I was eating
that color candy is like, why are we paying you?
You're just eating it?

Speaker 12 (32:10):
Right?

Speaker 9 (32:10):
Yeah, well be fair, there's not really you weren't really
suffering very much.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
I know.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Yeah, yeah, need more more pickled beer.

Speaker 9 (32:21):
I can imagine the bee insanely gross that pickle whiskey
you have, Frank.

Speaker 6 (32:26):
Oh that I couldn't even I couldn't even painfully.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Even drink that.

Speaker 6 (32:30):
That that mango hobb and narrow one that bottles right there.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Oh, I forgot about that.

Speaker 6 (32:36):
Was never doing that again. It was spicy and hot,
but that the mangoness was just so off the wall.
It was awful. Yeah, it was so awful.

Speaker 7 (32:49):
Yeah, Jason Press, keep keep keeping see.

Speaker 1 (32:55):

I'm not eating this whole thing time. Yeah we could
mm hmm it is good, though I can't taste a watermelon.

Speaker 8 (33:11):
Maybe you would be funny on one of those talkies.

Speaker 7 (33:14):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, really yeah, it would be funny if
we had worked this out. We all had one of
those containers and you could have said, hey, hey, Jason
or here Tim, here you go, and you hand it off.
Oh yeah, then I handed down to Freddy.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
It would be fun So don N five s k
T twenty yards super chat. You boys need to put

that tower done?

Speaker 1 (34:59):

Speaker 6 (35:01):
I think now I want something spice. Sound jealous of you, Jason?

Speaker 7 (35:04):
Right last night you said that he's got the tower in,
but it's been running so much he hasn't been able
to get the co xcon.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Yeah yeah, I can see that. Have a video on it.
JT Land of Basic Fabrication did the whole job for me, Okay, sweet, Yeah,
I remember, I remember you talking about it. I just
couldn't remember the details about it. Well good, because Don's
not in North Texas anymore. He's down in like Athens
area or something down there. I don't remember.

Speaker 9 (35:36):
And you're not really that far from Dallas.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
No, not that far, but he's not. But he's he
used to be in Richardson and he's not there anymore.

Speaker 9 (35:43):
So what was that north of Dallas.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
It's just east.

Speaker 6 (35:47):
Kind of Richardson's north of Dallas. Little it's like the
one or two o'clock.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Yeah, about one or two o'clock.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
That's true.

Speaker 6 (36:00):
Yeah, drove that trip one too many times, I think,
so Fire is happy to be done for that drive.

Speaker 9 (36:11):
M how far are you driving now?

Speaker 6 (36:14):
Now? My new position requires me to come in when
I want to.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Well, sweet, not driving at all.

Speaker 6 (36:21):
So I'm in there about three times a week and
it's in Addison from my house, so that's only with traffic.
Thirty five minutes. Without traffic, I could do in a twenty.

Speaker 8 (36:34):
Awesome nice unwine time on the way home from work.

Speaker 6 (36:39):
M hm, So Texas listens.

Speaker 7 (36:47):
Yeah, So this promotion I took at work has me
going in at least once a week now, where I
hadn't gone into the office in probably three years or so.
So that's why I put the All Star node in
the the Broncos. So I've got some people to talk to.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
Yeah, yeah, I was talking to Tim the other day
in the All Star System. So sounded good. Yeah, you
did it, sounded real good.

Speaker 6 (37:09):
I call it Helton local repeaters. I know you don't, Yeah,
I do. You haven't been in Texas the last couple
of weeks.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
I'm in Texas right now.

Speaker 6 (37:19):
You haven't been in Dallas.

Speaker 5 (37:23):
Don't confusing with the facts.

Speaker 7 (37:25):
Yeah, that's that's coastal Texas.

Speaker 6 (37:27):
You know how big Texas is. Check out my videos.
It took us twelve hours a year or two ago
now to drive out of Texas. No, that was a
special trip, you know.

Speaker 7 (37:41):
I still when I when I got transferred to San Diego,
when I was in the Navy, I go from Virginia
to Indianapolis. I one day and I'm here for a
couple of weeks, and then one day to go from
Indianapolis to basically just north probably Richardson, Dallas, Texas area.
From Minneapolis. One other day to drive all the way

(38:03):
across the state of Texas, and I got to l
Paso at like dinner time, and then drove into New
Mexico for a little bit. So that that was one
whole day, was just driving across Texas and seeing two
or three different diverse landscapes.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
Yeah, when I was a kid. Sorry Tim, go ahead.

Speaker 7 (38:27):
Oh no, no, go ahead and bell.

Speaker 4 (38:28):
When I was a kid, because I'm an old guy now,
little kid. My dad's my dad's favorite I told the
story before. My dad's favorite sister only sister lived in
San Francisco. My mom's favorite sister lived in not her
favorite sister.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
But her sister lived in Los Angeles.

Speaker 4 (38:46):
So sometimes we drive to Mississippi to visit her other sister,
and then drive from Mississippi across straight across the broad
part of Texas at fifty five miles an hour.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
The cops, the cops are tough.

Speaker 4 (39:01):
You you might squeeze in sixty, but I think it
was several days driving.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
Yeah, at fifty five, it was several.

Speaker 9 (39:13):
Days, two days at least once you once you start
getting west, the speed limits are like eighty.

Speaker 6 (39:19):
Five yeah back then, yeah they are now. Then Micha
would be I can't, I can't do this.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
You just just yeah, just go to sleep. I mean,
you know you can sleep at fifty five miles an hour. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (39:34):
For those of you who not born before nineteen eighty, uh,
speed limits used to be much higher, and then sometime
in the seventies they with the oil crisis. They brought
everything back down to fifty five to save lives.

Speaker 6 (39:46):
Mm hmm, and now the backup to eighty five. Hey, yeah,
it's kind of And if you're in Dallas, there's no
speed limit.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Thank god.

Speaker 9 (39:56):
Speed limit in Houston is four.

Speaker 5 (40:00):
On the interstate.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Yeah, that's why I go around.

Speaker 8 (40:04):
Everybody's out there at the same time. I went through
Dallas once at five p m. On a workday.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
What did Dave leave for?

Speaker 9 (40:18):
He had some probably taking care of that flash flood.
He's looking to see if he's if there's any checks
outside flashing.

Speaker 6 (40:23):
There he is making?

Speaker 9 (40:25):
Is that what that means he's making flashes? Fantastic?

Speaker 5 (40:33):
Did you flash the flash flood?

Speaker 15 (40:34):
Dave?

Speaker 13 (40:37):
Oh, I guess there was enough cloud density to cut
my starlink off.

Speaker 5 (40:44):
Starlink what do you have?

Speaker 2 (40:47):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (40:48):
You know what the new the V.

Speaker 13 (40:51):
Three, But it's the large V so the newest big one.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
You know, it's not affected by weather him radio.

Speaker 8 (40:58):
That's righting and stuff.

Speaker 7 (41:04):
I mean, you know light lighting causes a little bit
of issues.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
Or not not affected by clouds and rain.

Speaker 9 (41:10):
Okay, both of my antennas are unplugged from my radios
right now, so i'd say, my hand radio is pretty effective.

Speaker 4 (41:18):
No, that's your effect, but it's not a filled by
corporate failed infrastructure.

Speaker 12 (41:24):
Right.

Speaker 11 (41:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
I love my Sterlink, I really do. But when people
start railing about sterlink, I'm like, oh really, you know,
you know what doesn't that doesn't happen with radio, So
I don't know. I wouldn't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 6 (41:40):
I was talking about that today. I forgot who I
was talking to, and it's amazing. They're like, are you
still doing that CB? I said, I haven't ever operated
on CB. I do amateur radio. Oh that CB. I'm like, no, no,
it's not.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Uh it might as it might as well though, Frank,
because you're you're incapable of using.

Speaker 6 (42:05):
All Star all Start over the internet.

Speaker 3 (42:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
See, you can't use CB over the Internet legally, but
you can use him radio of the Internet legally. Therefore,
you're operating as a CB operator. Proved me wrong, So
you can't argue with this logic. I've got it all
figured out.

Speaker 6 (42:25):
Uh, I'm being nice.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
Uh huh. What's up, Joe Brett, Joe Brett, what's up? Fellas?

Speaker 7 (42:33):

Let me go to the liquor store. It's Sunday in Texas.

Speaker 7 (46:50):
That's still a problem.

Speaker 5 (46:51):
Stores are get you can get.

Speaker 8 (46:58):
You can get some Uncle Ezra r on a Sunday.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
You know they have that same law in Alabama. I
learned this year.

Speaker 14 (47:06):
Gallery used to have one. I forget how long they
repealed it.

Speaker 6 (47:09):
Or these cups of water.

Speaker 7 (47:13):
Well that's a slippery slope. We used to not be
able to get alcohol at all on Sunday. And then
it was like, well you can. You can have it

Speaker 2 (49:42):
Maybe I had a fifteen pack.

Speaker 12 (49:43):
The word is you gave me one and didn't even
know it. You wasn't even there, just laying on the ground.

Speaker 4 (49:50):
Just the.

Speaker 6 (49:52):
Same thing happened with the whiskey.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
I drank zero all day. I pas this trip to Huntsville,
and I did not miss them. I mean, they're okay,
don't wrong.

Speaker 9 (50:02):
There's whiskey bottles flying around.

Speaker 3 (50:08):

Speaker 7 (50:08):
I'm like, okay, now right.

Speaker 9 (50:13):
Clang playing whiskey guy unless I'm doing a nine hour
live stream, right.

Speaker 7 (50:17):
Yeah, I had half a glass. I was just kind
of sitting there. Every time I turned around, somebody was
pouring more whiskey in it.

Speaker 1 (50:26):
I was. We were sitting around the campsite Sunday afternoon
after most people left, and I was like, okay, there's
five bottles of liquor on on my picnic table. None
of them were bourbon. Or whiskey already took all those,
and uh, there was a bottle of tequila and a
bottle of some kind of cogniac, and I think maybe
a bottle of vodka and two or three others, maybe

(50:47):
a box of a box of wine and a cup
and one or two other things. And I'm like, you guys,
take that or I'm throwing it away, and everybody's like, oh,
I'm like, easy gone, I do not want any of that.
I did get three bottles of bourbon and two bottles
of real life dukes of Hazzard moonshine given to me.

Speaker 5 (51:08):
So I'd like to try some of that.

Speaker 9 (51:10):
Yeah, I got some of that moonshine too. I'm scared
to try it.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
I did not shoo. I have not tried it yet
because I've been here for the last week and I
was not going to bring it to Galveston. I'm like,
you know what, I'm going to end up on a
boat in tomorrow. Yeah, end up on a fishing boat
on on on one, and they're going to lead me
out there on one of those drilling sites in the
golf and I'm gonna wake up and not know where
the hell I am. I'm like, no, I'm going to

(51:35):
drink that stuff at home.

Speaker 5 (51:36):
I mean, you can see some of.

Speaker 1 (51:39):
Yeah, it's not that far.

Speaker 13 (51:41):
Oh, give it to the guide.

Speaker 7 (51:43):
What happens.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
There?

Speaker 3 (51:45):
You go? There, you go.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
I do want to do that. I do want to
find a fishing guide and go deep sea fishing out here.
So I was talking to somebody. Oh, the girl at
the cigar bar that I was just talking about Frank,
she was we just she was a talker. It was
just I walked in and she was watching Fox News
and she was railing about Trump that she liked trump Man.

Speaker 6 (52:04):
Sounds like a good day.

Speaker 1 (52:05):
It was a good day. Yeah. So and I was like,
and she started talking about stuff, and we just talked
about stuff, and I'm like, She's like, well, what do
you doing? And she's like oh. And she asked me
about She said, are you law enforcement? Are you military?
I was like, no, I've never done the military. She goes,
are you law enforcement? I said, well, not really, but
I have a Level three commission at the State of Texas.

(52:27):
She's like, well, what's that? And I said, do I
do security for my church? And she starts telling me
about her church and she said her pastor is a
fishing guide has a fishing guide service, and I'm like,
I need to meet that guy.

Speaker 3 (52:38):
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
So yeah, He's like, yeah, he takes people out all
the time. I'm like, that's what I need to do.
I need to meet somebody that has a fishing boat
and could go out, you know, fifty seventy five miles
off the coast and we'll do some deep sea fishing
out there. There was a oh, so there was this
guy on the beach yesterday, No, not yesterday, on Friday.
I go out to the beach Friday morning and this

(53:01):
is in one of my videos you'll see this week.
And uh. He he was out there with his truck
backed up to the ocean. There was hardly anybody out
there as early in the morning. And he had four
foot four or five foot PVC pipes stuck in the
sand with a fishing rod sticking out of each one
that was and he had bait in the in the

(53:22):
in the gulf. And I was watching him and he
had a drone, a big drone, like a fifty larger
than a than a Phantom three or four drone, and
he would attach a fish like a one pound fish
to a hook and fly the drone up and fly

(53:44):
it out into the ocean like like two hundred yards,
and then he had a hook on it and it
would go and he'd drop it and he hit return
to home and the drone would come back and then
he'd reeling in until it's tight. And I'm like, that
is the most awesome thing I've ever seen. Talk to
him and he's like he's like, he's like, this is
the lazy man's way to do it. I'm like, no,
he goes, usually I use a kayak. I'm like, dude,

(54:06):
it would take you an hour to kayak all the
way out there and back. Come on, you're gonna catch
more fish and less time. This is awesome. It's a
great a great idea. So yeah. So so now my
cousin that's down here this weekend, I told him about that.
He's like, all right, dude, you got to go buy
a drone. We got to go fishing. I'm like, yep,
that's right, we got to do it. So that was

(54:26):
a great idea. I'm like, dude, that is that is
just fantastic. So got there and I'm like, what are
you fishing for? He goes, Sharks? He goes, I'll catch
a six foot shark off of this coast here.

Speaker 6 (54:35):
I'm like, what's he deal with them?

Speaker 1 (54:37):
I needn't ask him that, but but you can. Yeah,
shark is good eating. Shark is good eating.

Speaker 3 (54:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (54:45):
I hate you get a shark and you don't know
what to do with it. You finally get it.

Speaker 7 (54:49):
I oh, no fish, but.

Speaker 1 (54:51):
I will and I will get get off of my
live stream. Tim. People that people don't that don't like seafood.
I don't get that. I just I don't get it.
That's like, yeah, Frank, Frank, we we give you, we
give you latitude, Frank, because you're just weird multiple places.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
But Tim, shark our fish now they're there.

Speaker 7 (55:17):
They're No, they're not fish.

Speaker 6 (55:19):
Yes they are, Yes, they are sea fish.

Speaker 9 (55:26):
Fish.

Speaker 3 (55:27):
The only way I do fish is or any kind
of safe food for that matter, is if it's bread
and date fried like Captain Days are Long John's. At
least it's something.

Speaker 9 (55:37):
I got news for you that ain't fish.

Speaker 1 (55:39):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Long John Silvers gets their food
from scraping the grease stains out of the parking lot
in their in their driveway and then they put it
in the deep fryer.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
Well.

Speaker 3 (55:49):
Typically it's typically it's Captain D's. We don't really have
Long John's around here anymore.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
They've been gone for never heard of Captain D's. I
don't know what that is.

Speaker 8 (55:58):
It's like I along John's, Yeah, Johns, and they're not
near as good in my opinion.

Speaker 7 (56:05):
Who's that captain?

Speaker 5 (56:07):
I'd rather have Long John's.

Speaker 3 (56:09):
I'm with you. I'm with you.

Speaker 7 (56:11):
So the day my h soon to be thirteen year
old son was was born earlier that day, and when
I stopped at laun John's and got some lunch on
the way home, she was like prepped to go to
the hospital. And Uh, guy, I don't I eat the chicken.
I love the chicken. The chicken and the and the
and the crumbs and all that stuff. I've been into

(56:32):
the chicken. It was still cold on the inside. Oh
that's the last time I had the lunch on silber
in a couple of weeks.

Speaker 14 (56:40):
Better than being raw, rather have cold cooked.

Speaker 7 (56:43):
I don't know if it was cooked. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (56:47):
I haven't had long drawn silver since I was a kid,
and I do not miss.

Speaker 7 (56:50):
It at all.

Speaker 9 (56:51):
That mount vinegar gets though, yes it does.

Speaker 3 (56:54):
Now, that makes everything.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
Right, vinegar if you're fam Del Fargas says, if you're fishing,
take a radio. Be secure in the fact that the
maritime es.

Speaker 5 (57:16):
The maritime mobile net.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
So we uh, we were talking about We've talked about
this several times. We were talking about going to uh
dry Tortugas at some point and activating that it's a
national park, to National Park activate Dry Tortugas, and someone
had mentioned I think it was Kyle, I don't remember,
someone had mentioned that you could take a boat to

(57:39):
it now and I guess you get close enough for
the boat, you can operate from the boat and activate
the national park. And I'm like, that's what we need
to do, and we will do it on fourteen three
hundred because we are on a boat for maritime. So
that's that that needs to happen in my lifetime.

Speaker 6 (57:58):
I just want to legitimately get off fourteen got three
hundred and have that guy come up and be like,
we're holding the frequency for a maritime I am maritime,
I'm known a boat.

Speaker 9 (58:09):
Yeah, the net controlling Kansas is.

Speaker 6 (58:13):
It?

Speaker 1 (58:13):
Is it the net controller or is it just is it?
Is it just a fanboy that's holding the frequency?

Speaker 6 (58:19):
Hey, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (58:20):
I think when I made when I made my very
first video about the boat boat Face net, it was
a reddick article that one of the net control operators
emailed me and he sounded since I don't know this guy,
but he sounded sincere. He's like, look, he's like, you're
not wrong, but the guys that do that, they're not
actually part of our net. They're just they're just like fanboys.

Speaker 9 (58:40):
And yeah, well, I had a guy come up to
me at ham Cashion last year. He was he was
like the the head guy in charge there. And because
i've really I've made certain statements about the body of
my boat face.

Speaker 1 (58:54):
Yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9 (58:57):
I just he told me who he was and I
just started laughing. You said the same thing as is
what you're saying, so sorry.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
To Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't really think it's them.
I think it's all their fanboys out there that.

Speaker 6 (59:10):
Well, then clean up the act if you're tired of that.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
Well, according according to what for your net.

Speaker 6 (59:17):
Started now like, yeah he has we're here, but.

Speaker 1 (59:19):
He has done that. He has done that, according to
what he told me, he's done that. He's like, we've
asked him not to do that. We can't control him.
Anymore you can. I'm like, well, yeah, that's true.

Speaker 9 (59:29):
You know it'd be great is if they could just
keep their signals three killer hurts wide.

Speaker 5 (59:34):
Yeah, they have to use their their their amps, their.

Speaker 1 (59:39):
Upper side three kill hurts upper sideman. Like somebody just

That was awesome. Paul was laughing, like, every time I
spend the dial, I just key up the mic on
fourteen three hundred say something. I'll wait for someone to
come back angrily about leave.

Speaker 1 (01:02:46):
See, this is when we need to exercise the power
of YouTube, because if that guy had said that to
me about that thousand wants of people, Oh, okay, yeah,

Speaker 7 (01:03:22):
So I had a guy, uh, I asked the frequency
it was in use, and he's he's like, well, we
got a net starting up in like a half an hour,
but nobody's using it right the second. And I said,
it's great. I'm just it's a hit and hitting run

fifteen minutes, maybe half hour something like that, and I
just hear people struggling what's the best barrel frame to
use or need a good YOUTUBERI or some stupid crap
like that, something stupid. I just ignore him. I'm just

(01:04:48):
I just like three minutes it takes of ignoring them,
and they go away because they think I can't hear
them because I don't acknowledge them. I'm just like, oh yeah,
the pa oh yeah, the station ending kilo and I
can kind of hear that. I was like, oh, the
station inning kilo come back again, and I just I
just keep workingda and eventually they go away the same thing.

Speaker 6 (01:05:05):
But the guys tuning up on you don't yeah, yeah, yeah.
Someone brought that up when I was at working one time.
He's like, I hear you, but someone keeps tuning right
on top of you. I was like, don't acknowledge it,
and it will go away in a couple of minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:05:18):
I'd be like, yeah, really, I would have been. I
would have been, oh really, I can't hear that guy
at all. He must be qu rp Okay.

Speaker 14 (01:05:25):
So I've had that happened a bunch of times past
few months. And I just hit my DNF playing on
my eight ninety one and they're gone, yeah yeah, and
I'm like, I'm just going to continue. I mean, their
tires are all a lot of go. Philip is like okay,
and then I was taking out like a little break
and he's still going at it, and I'm like, you're
just freaking yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:05:45):
That's our philosophy with jammers and corners on all of
our local repeaters, which we have a bunch, and I'm
sure you guys do too, But.

Speaker 1 (01:05:55):
I haven't heard that in no. Oh gosh, No, we
don't ignore jammers on repeers. We find them.

Speaker 3 (01:06:00):
Oh I found one.

Speaker 1 (01:06:01):
I haven't heard them. I haven't heard anything on the
repeaters like that in a long time.

Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
So i'll tell you. I'll tell you a quick story.
And I think I told you this at Huntsville. But
a couple of weeks ago, I was leaving work, and
over a couple of days I had heard somebody, you know,
just kning the mic and doing a little bit these
DTMF stuff. Well, there was one day I left work
and one of the guys was not following the rules,

(01:06:28):
or at least our repeater owners rules and ignoring them.
And uh he was, you know, oh, I know where
you're at all this stuff. Well I turned down the
down this one road, look down the street, and I
see a guy with a handheld radio in his hand
in a crowd. This was a god thing. It had
to be, because it was a needle in a haystack

(01:06:51):
at that point. But I see, I see a guy
he's full over on input on my on my radio
in the truck I see came down there with the
h T in his hand, and I'm like, this is
a a four w X. I know exactly who you
are and where you're at. And I described what he
was wearing and what you moved on and he looked

(01:07:13):
up like this, and.

Speaker 1 (01:07:18):
Oh god, I would have been I would have been like,
click on the on the dash cam.

Speaker 3 (01:07:22):
Oh I had I had the repeater on. The owner
called me and he said, hey, did you did your
dash can catch it? And I said no because he
was at my two o'clock and my dash cam point
straight ahead. But uh, yeah, I didn't think about that.
I should have snapped a picture of him.

Where's the blue drink?

Speaker 2 (01:15:54):
No blue drink here?

Speaker 6 (01:15:57):
Okay?

Speaker 19 (01:16:00):
Yeah, speaking of drinks, Robert and Jason and I think
Kyle in the new channel you created, check out the
photos I sent.

Speaker 15 (01:16:08):
There's two new rows of whiskeys.

Speaker 1 (01:16:12):
Just so you guys know that you that you've brought
to us that I.

Speaker 15 (01:16:16):
Can bring to you.

Speaker 1 (01:16:18):
You know, no, where's it? Where's talk is cheap, Paul,
Let's let's do well.

Speaker 15 (01:16:22):
I want to make sure.

Speaker 19 (01:16:23):
I want to give you all the options. So now
you see all some more that I have any.

Speaker 1 (01:16:27):
Freaking clue, Man, just bring me something that I can't get.

Speaker 19 (01:16:30):
Yeah, but I don't know, so I don't want to
give you something you know that tastes horrible.

Speaker 9 (01:16:34):
Robert, responsible thing, Robert, you save room in your bag
for sour Japanese candies? Now checked up?

Speaker 15 (01:16:40):
I checked again, man, I checked again every store. I
don't know why I can't find those sour lemons. He
just doesn't like you, Mike, because I used to buy.

Speaker 19 (01:16:48):
Them for people all the time and give them out
because they're just really good.

Speaker 1 (01:16:51):
But I would say, get me whatever Robert says, because
Robert knows a lot more about Japanese whiskeys than I know.
And the last one, the last one you brought me,
was very good. I had zero complaints with that, so and.

Speaker 19 (01:17:04):
I was going to get that one because I could
do one at a time last week, but they did
not have that one, And so that's why I took
pictures of others just in case, you know, there's another
good one in there.

Speaker 2 (01:17:14):
Robert will know.

Speaker 6 (01:17:16):
What channel is this?

Speaker 2 (01:17:17):
We just lost?

Speaker 15 (01:17:18):
Robert?

Speaker 6 (01:17:20):
Yeah, he was playing, where's this whiskey channel?

Speaker 1 (01:17:26):
It's not a whiskey channel. Not a whiskey channel, Frank.

Speaker 5 (01:17:30):
He can tell you it's not.

Speaker 1 (01:17:32):
It's it's it's a private channel that we're doing an event,
and it's a private channel for that event. So okay, now,
having said that, Frank, you're a mod on my server,
so you can see it.

Speaker 12 (01:17:42):
But I'm not going to.

Speaker 1 (01:17:43):
Tell you what it is. You don't have to figure
that part out yourself.

Speaker 15 (01:17:45):
Should you shouldn't know.

Speaker 6 (01:17:46):
But there's so many things.

Speaker 15 (01:17:51):
And I've got Dave, I've got yours lying in wait.

Speaker 7 (01:17:54):
Awesome.

Speaker 19 (01:17:55):
I'm just I owed Dave some something and wanted to
give him something from the band.

Speaker 1 (01:17:59):
So how many can No, you're limited on the number
you can bring back right, Yes, Are you limited because
you're an employee or does the airline limit everybody?

Speaker 19 (01:18:12):
I'm limited it because I can fly, because I fly
every week and they don't want me to save that
much on taxes.

Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
Okay, but what about a passenger that goes out there?

Speaker 19 (01:18:21):
Passenger has I think two or three bottles? I think two.

Speaker 3 (01:18:26):
I think I.

Speaker 15 (01:18:28):
Couldn't bring a case though, No, I think it's limited
to two.

Speaker 19 (01:18:33):
And like, you know, ten thousand dollars limitations on everything.
Cigarettes is like two cartons, I think two things of yeah, won't.

Speaker 1 (01:18:41):
Be getting sick. Is there a cigar shop over there?

Speaker 19 (01:18:45):
I actually did see cigars and not knowing if they're
good or not, I'm like, I don't want to take back,
and they're gonna like change the invite linked to zoom
so that I can't join, then make fun of me
how horrible of cigars are?

Speaker 9 (01:19:00):
Hang on, you can't bring more than like, what is
it three ounces of water through the through the security,
but you can bring three bottles of liquor.

Speaker 1 (01:19:07):
Oh, I'm sure you have.

Speaker 19 (01:19:08):
To check that well once here's the thing though, once
you're inside security, No, you can bring them on board because.

Speaker 9 (01:19:13):
They're botky for you buying them at the airport.

Speaker 19 (01:19:17):
Yeah, if you buy them at the airport, it's tax free,
and it's already inside security, so yeah, you can put
them in your back. We get people all the time
trying to open up their whiskey and drink it, and
we're like, I can't do that.

Speaker 15 (01:19:27):
Sorry, can't bring your own can't bring your own drinks.

Speaker 2 (01:19:32):
Hey, Paul, question, are you working tomorrow?

Speaker 15 (01:19:35):
I'm very tempted. It's time and a half.

Speaker 2 (01:19:39):
I'm going tomorrow at the Ways at noon flight.

Speaker 19 (01:19:41):
Right, No, I'm tempted if I do. If I do,
it'll just be a turnaround. I don't want to go.
I'm so tired. August was ridiculously busy.

Speaker 7 (01:19:50):
I need a break, right, gotcha.

Speaker 19 (01:19:53):
If I don't see you, you're going through Dallas.

Speaker 2 (01:19:57):
I'm going through Dallas and Nataka.

Speaker 15 (01:20:00):
Oh okay, all right, cool?

Speaker 1 (01:20:02):
Are you going to You're going to the Philippines, Bill.

Speaker 19 (01:20:06):
Yes, sir, let me find out who's on there so
we can get there with you. We get the old
great we get the old white haired guy that you
texted me about last time.

Speaker 6 (01:20:13):
Gee, whiz, I knew exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:20:18):
I'm not kidding.

Speaker 19 (01:20:21):
Met you at the airport, Bill, right, I asked him
three questions to describe the guy, and I guessed who
it was. I just worked with him last week. He
flies about two hundred hours a month. A normal month
is about ninety. Just to let you know why he's
disgruntled and crazy hair.

Speaker 2 (01:20:36):
How he didn't spill on.

Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
I don't know, why would he choose to do that
to himself?

Speaker 15 (01:20:41):
People are I don't know, man, people are ridiculous.

Speaker 19 (01:20:43):
It's good money, but you have no life, and then
you hate your job and you take it on on passengers.

Speaker 1 (01:20:48):
Well maybe everybody hates him, so he just spends all
his time at work.

Speaker 15 (01:20:52):
Well here, here's the deal.

Speaker 19 (01:20:52):
When he serves drinks, he doesn't give you ice and
sometimes if he if you asked for a sprite, he
doesn't have it.

Speaker 15 (01:21:00):
He'll just hand you a ginger ad. He doesn't care.

Speaker 5 (01:21:04):
Like you get it.

Speaker 15 (01:21:05):
Oh, I wanted a sprite handsome of ginger ale. So
I have to go back the last few.

Speaker 19 (01:21:08):
When I realized I did good and I got to
find a sprite or whatever and give it to like
here you go, here you go, and a fit. But
that's what happens when I worked one hundred and fifty
hours a monthly. And when I say that that's flying hours,
it's you know, I was miserable. I hated my job,
hated my life because you're just always jet lagged, always tired.

Speaker 15 (01:21:26):
So yeah, but it is, you know, it's good money.

Speaker 12 (01:21:30):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (01:21:31):
What airline?

Speaker 3 (01:21:33):
American?

Speaker 11 (01:21:34):
Oh that's who I flew to Huntsville.

Speaker 7 (01:21:37):
I'm sorry, I bet Shane. I bet Paul could ask
you three questions and find out who you're flying.

Speaker 15 (01:21:47):
Shane might be.

Speaker 2 (01:21:49):
Shane. How was that airplane configured like the seats.

Speaker 5 (01:21:54):
As far the first the front.

Speaker 15 (01:21:57):
I bet it was an airbus.

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
The one that went into bus goes into the Huntsville.

Speaker 16 (01:22:03):
The first flight was the seven thirty seven Max eight,
and then the second flight was a c r J
nine hundred.

Speaker 15 (01:22:09):
Because we have one flight a day on American.

Speaker 19 (01:22:13):
Or on the larger one or to l A, No
to Huntsville from where though Dallas, and then the rest
are Eagle.

Speaker 1 (01:22:21):
Shane's flying to La though Oh County. But I mean, well,
it's occupied West Texas. I don't remember where it is.

Speaker 15 (01:22:30):
I thought he was.

Speaker 19 (01:22:30):
I thought he was talking about his Huntsville flight where
the guy gave him a bunch of cookies to marry
him or whatever it was.

Speaker 11 (01:22:40):
Maybe right, nobody knew.

Speaker 1 (01:22:43):
Okay, okay, we're good fiance.

Speaker 7 (01:22:45):
She's got some competition, Shane.

Speaker 1 (01:22:47):
Mm hmm, no doubt.

Speaker 3 (01:22:51):
Yeah, what the world's going on behind Paul.

Speaker 6 (01:22:56):
Moving?

Speaker 1 (01:22:57):
He's moving?

Speaker 3 (01:22:59):
He turned it and then his mouth keyed out.

Speaker 7 (01:23:02):
That's the Uh, that's a matrix there, buddy.

Speaker 9 (01:23:06):
I guess that's a simulation.

Speaker 3 (01:23:09):
I swear, I don't. This is the first one I've drank.

Speaker 5 (01:23:13):
This hour.

Speaker 6 (01:23:15):
Maybe I've done a good dat in my bottle.

Speaker 1 (01:23:20):
I Uh. There's been a few people join us since
the beginning, so thank you everyone for hanging out tonight.
I am starting a new project tomorrow called thirty Days
of Ham Radio. Be doing a new video every day
about a different activity inside of Ham Radio, and we
are raising money for the A Double URL Teachers Institute.
The link is pinned to the top of the chat

(01:23:41):
A double RL dot org Ford slash three zero days,
thirty days and UH really appreciate you guys support and
help sharing these videos for me telling your friends about it,
and UH donations coming in to help support the next
generation of Ham's. If you guys didn't see the live
stream last week, we had Steve on. Steve and Kyle

(01:24:01):
were on, and we presented Steve, which we had kept
that information from him, the totals for the amount of
money we raised at the PODA event at Huntsville at
Montessano the Friday before the Amfest, and it was just
north of six thousand dollars for those of you who
missed it. I think last year it was twenty four
hundred dollars, so we more than doubled it from last year.

(01:24:23):
And Steve was talking about the number of teachers that
he was shooting to teach this year, and he said,
you know, over the course of ten or twenty years,
each teacher can have up to, like I think he said,
seventy five students per year and then that's ten years,
twenty years, however long their career is. So Teachers Institute

(01:24:46):
is a very very good way to reach the next
generation of students through the school system for amateur radio.
So very good cause. So you guys helped me out
and check out that link. And I don't care if
it's a yeah, he's got more cookies there.

Speaker 6 (01:25:01):
Look at that put a good debt there.

Speaker 5 (01:25:05):
Wow, Yeah, no doubt.

Speaker 2 (01:25:09):
Be careful. When they first came out Delta was the
only one that had him. Everybody else had.

Speaker 4 (01:25:15):
Nuts honey ross right, and I was like, give me those,
and now you couldn't pay me.

Speaker 2 (01:25:21):
There's nothing wrong with them, but I'm.

Speaker 15 (01:25:23):
Just really no more bisc off, bisco intolerant.

Speaker 11 (01:25:30):
Oh they're so good.

Speaker 1 (01:25:34):
Have you tried dipping them in whiskey while you're flying?
You're a coffee guy, I mean surely you've had him
with coffee.

Speaker 3 (01:25:44):
They're awesome with coffee.

Speaker 1 (01:25:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:25:45):
I think.

Speaker 4 (01:25:48):
They had this other thing too, Do you remember these,
paul They were like thin, uh pancake things and then
from Europe. I guess they're popping in Europe and they
had like a carmel.

Speaker 15 (01:26:02):
Caramel in between.

Speaker 4 (01:26:04):
So you put those on your coffee cup, your hot
coffee cup, and then you eat them later.

Speaker 2 (01:26:09):
Those those were good, but those were delicious.

Speaker 1 (01:26:12):
Yeah, I can see I can see Bill sitting in
the in the cockpit of the flight and pulling a Denzel,
grabbing the oxygen mask on. You want to hit this.

Speaker 15 (01:26:25):
Flying upside down?

Speaker 1 (01:26:26):
Yeah, we're gon we're gonna roll the plane.

Speaker 11 (01:26:30):
Getting drunk on.

Speaker 15 (01:26:32):
The top of the coffee so it doesn't spill.

can have, Jason.

Speaker 1 (01:34:09):
You're is it eight tim? Yeah, eight Eastern. That's seven
our time, Frank, what's Eastern Central? It's what it's the
times in Tyler, Texas and Texas, Canada. They have Eastern
time out there.

Speaker 3 (01:34:27):
I think it's the standards. It is the national standard
with time Texas. It's not when you when you watch television.
If anybody watches television anymore, what time do they tell
you TV shows come on.

Speaker 6 (01:34:41):

I'm talking about Central.

Speaker 9 (01:34:46):
Zero seven Texas.

Speaker 3 (01:34:49):
I'd love to hear I'd love to hear somebody advertise
a TV show at zero Zulu. That'd be awesome.

Speaker 1 (01:34:56):
That's what they should do. Honestly, all times should be
U t C. Realistically.

Speaker 6 (01:35:01):
Yeah, oh my god, I would hate that.

Speaker 1 (01:35:03):
Oh, I would love That'd be great.

Speaker 3 (01:35:05):
It'd be one in the morning right now.

Speaker 1 (01:35:08):
Now.

Speaker 6 (01:35:08):
What we need to stop so freaking the time change? Yes, yes,
daylight savings too, I am so anymore.

Speaker 9 (01:35:21):
If they do, they'll screw it up and they'll make
it the time that it is during winter, So it
gets dark early, like it needs to just stay the
time it is in summer.

Speaker 1 (01:35:30):
Correct, all year round.

Speaker 3 (01:35:31):
Agreed, And I say has actually passed legislation to get
rid of it, but they have to they have to
wait on the FEDS to decide.

Speaker 6 (01:35:40):
To drop it, so were useless.

Speaker 7 (01:35:43):
Then we Indiana used to be standard time and we
went to Daylight Savings Time about twenty years ago, and
it's it's been horrible.

Speaker 1 (01:35:53):
But we're wants it to do. We're at six pm.

Speaker 7 (01:35:56):
That's just well, so we're so far west that we're
still far west that we have sunlight till like ten
o'clock at night in the in the summer.

Speaker 1 (01:36:07):
Yeah, it gets dark here like nine something like that.

Speaker 6 (01:36:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:36:13):
Yeah in Michigan, I don't mind that.

Speaker 9 (01:36:15):
In Michigan in winter it's dark at four thirty, Like
it's dark, Yeah, twilight or dawn, whatever it is, it
gets dark here. Line, it's freaking dark.

Speaker 6 (01:36:29):
Yeah, So you're straight browth of the spark.

Speaker 7 (01:36:31):
I met, like, and we're we're on the eastern to
where Michigan's on.

Speaker 9 (01:36:34):
Central eastern Central Michigan's eastern.

Speaker 7 (01:36:42):
I remember Illinois, Chicago was was central and it was
like at five o'clock it was.

Speaker 3 (01:36:46):
It was dark.

Speaker 2 (01:36:47):
No good.

Speaker 1 (01:36:48):
Yeah, it's no good, no good.

Speaker 16 (01:36:49):
Get off work at five thirty. So that time of year,
I'm gonna be driving home in the dark.

Speaker 12 (01:36:54):
Fun.

Speaker 7 (01:36:54):
It's still fun, but it is absolutely depressing. New drive
to work in the can come home in the dark.

Speaker 11 (01:37:01):
Yeah, yeah, worn to dust.

Speaker 5 (01:37:04):
You have to you have to.

Speaker 1 (01:37:05):
You have to check your back seat for vampires every
time you get in the car.

Speaker 6 (01:37:12):
When we worked at BlackBerry, Jason let that overnight shift.
If I got home before the sun rose, that was perfect.
But soon as I saw the sun I was not
going to sleep again.

Speaker 7 (01:37:24):
Are you wanting to blame for the best server?

Speaker 2 (01:37:27):
No, he was.

Speaker 1 (01:37:31):
I never worked on the best team.

Speaker 6 (01:37:32):
Okay, yeah, I was just a handheld analyst. I tried
to get over there, but I had a bad manager
that kept me back.

Speaker 11 (01:37:41):
Be be was one of them. Happens.

Speaker 1 (01:37:44):
Bez was one of the best things ever happened to
Exchange and Microsoft really really dropped the ball when BlackBerry
shot themselves in the foot and went out of business.

Speaker 6 (01:37:53):
They should have bought every server.

Speaker 1 (01:37:55):
Uh. Microsoft had the Windows Phone at the time, which
was guard but they could have They could have taken
that entire BlackBerry market and created their own type of
exchange extruction well no exchange server add on for a
smartphone thing and had and they could have probably dominated

(01:38:17):
the commercial market and they just they didn't do it.

Speaker 7 (01:38:19):
I just yeah, so they took active SAYNK and opened
it up to other manufacturers to use besides Windows, which right,
it's okay, but it lacked a lot of features in
Oh yeah, that the best ad with the security and everything. Huh.

Speaker 1 (01:38:34):
And BlackBerry was the first ones to ever encrypt their smartphones. Nobody,
Android and Apple never encrypted anything until BlackBerry did it. Well,
actually BlackBerry smartphones were predated all that, but they were
always encrypted. And then uh, and then everyone started it
and we there was a while there where uh, enterprise
servers wouldn't allow an Android or smartphone because they were

(01:38:55):
so vulnerable. And I think, if I'm not mistaken, Apple
did it first because we used to allow there was
a plug in for iPhones to the BEZ server and
because you had to have a certain level, a certain
version of iOS and then once it's encrypted whatnot, then
they would allow it on the BEZ sur And eventually
Android came around on that too. Of course, nobody owns Android.

(01:39:16):
That's the problem with it, but it's it was I
think Windows. I think Microsoft could have taken over that
whole market, and they just first.

Speaker 5 (01:39:24):
For whatever.

Speaker 7 (01:39:25):
Twenty years of my career was supporting Microsoft Exchange. So
oh nice, all that inside out and down.

Speaker 1 (01:39:33):
So yep, thank you, Dave super Chat.

Speaker 6 (01:39:39):
Is Paul going live tonight?

Speaker 1 (01:39:41):
I don't know. He didn't say anything when he was here.

Speaker 7 (01:39:44):
May Jason's super Chat. Thank you. Yeah, it's using about
ninety nine thirty eastern or.

Speaker 5 (01:39:53):
Say it's only eight forty.

Speaker 1 (01:39:55):
The reason the goal is not going up is because
I said it for thirty minutes.

Speaker 6 (01:39:58):
And I was wondering about that.

Speaker 1 (01:40:00):
Yeah, we actually we've set the goal for ten. I
think we've had ten maybe eleven by now, but the
timer ran out. So that's why it's not going up.

Speaker 6 (01:40:08):
So I wonder, I wonder if we should, yeah, somehow
figure out how to do a live stream with me,
Mike and you Jason, and we get some day or not.
Daves Rick's hot Chicken. This is stuff that tops me
out and we eat it on camera. No, yes, you

(01:40:31):
know something bank out that's how good?

Speaker 1 (01:40:34):
Okay, So n a Yo is in the chat and
he thinks this is a terrible idea. But I had
this idea at Huntsville, and I'm like, Okay, I want
to buy a kit. I don't I don't even care
what it is, just a kit building, just having a
kit building night. Okay, I'll buy this kit. I'll send
it to all you guys, everybody who wants to participate,
and then you buy your own bottle of bourbon. We

(01:40:55):
start and then we start building it come in and
uh every time when someone says that, like, we have
a keyword in the chat and we don't tell people
Solder yeah or Texas or whatever. We don't tell people
what it is.

Speaker 6 (01:41:08):
Though.

Speaker 1 (01:41:08):
Every time somebody says that we took a shot and
we keep on soldering, I'm not responsible for burned down
houses or fingers.

Speaker 5 (01:41:17):
You know it's gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (01:41:19):
Mike, Mike, I told Mike that idea. He's like, this
is a terrible idea. Jason, Like, that's yeah, but I think.

Speaker 6 (01:41:26):
Probably Do you remember what I soldered at forty pin
connector Backwards? Do you want me to drink?

Speaker 12 (01:41:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:41:34):
Yeah, imagine doing that with screwball.

Speaker 1 (01:41:37):
Oh my god, oh no, I can't drink. You know,
I used to really like that stuff. I can't drink
it anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:41:44):
It was cinnamon stuff.

Speaker 6 (01:41:46):
It was peanut butter.

Speaker 9 (01:41:48):
Oh yeah, no, the peanut butter, peanut, the cinnamon whiskey.

Speaker 12 (01:41:52):
Hey.
