No, I was heading back from the meeting. That wasn't tonight. Wow. Wow. You didn't get the news, huh? I guess not. Says on the website everything. It still says club meeting tonight. Oh, my. Oh, my. Guess that'll have to be some feedback to somebody. Yeah, maybe.

Well, I know. It was a wasted trip, wasn't it? You didn't. You didn't redeem it by getting something else done, did you? Nope. Nothing else to do except drive back home. Well, that's too bad. I hate when that happened. So, let's see. But. But tonight is the. They had to delay. It's the board meeting tonight since they had to delay it because of the election two weeks ago. Yeah, I saw on ham valley news. It was right. But not on the website. Guess what? To do a better job of that. Should have gone out in a. In an email to everybody, probably.

I don't know if it did or not. I didn't see it if it was. Well, I don't think it did. I'm not saying it should have. When something like that comes out, we should throw out at least one email and. Yeah, I guess I could have put that up on the Facebook page, too. Yep. Wow. Well, I. I hope I'm going out for choir practice. I hope when I get there it's very. It's being held tonight. Yeah, I hope so, too, a little, as you wasted your trip also.

That would have gotten me out of the house. I took yesterday and today as vacation because I had extra vacation to burn and basically didn't do a darn thing today. I got out once today to go pay my property tax bill, but other than that, I haven't been out of the house at all today. Sometimes that's a good thing. Yeah. Yeah. Got me feeling a little guilty, though, because there's lots of stuff for me to do and I just kind of vegged all day long. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes. Sometimes, though, that's what you need to do. So, other news. I got Jerry Manfred one tower off the roof a couple weekends ago. Okay. Who's Jerry?

W E6A S M receiver. I thought you said you knew him before. He's the guy that used to be the parts manager at Wheeler forever. And he was a ham. Oh, well, no, I know. Can't say as I, I, I knew him. So you got a tower off the roof. You're gonna have to take some. Seen that one. A little more. Well, he had two crank up towers up on the back of his house or back of his property. Whatever. Well, the guy wires on one of them snapped and it folded over onto the roof. Oh, okay. All right. Well, that's no good. So you just helping him out, or did you end up with the tower yourself? Well, so he's no longer living at this house. His kids are prepping to sell the house.

And my wife knows them from, you know, growing up there around the area. So talked to them, and they said, yeah, come take them both down. So I've got a Still got to take the other one down. I needed my climbing gear that I didn't have with me for the second tower. Okay. All right. So score. You got something that you can put up on it? Well, the one that collapsed had a big beam with, you know, like sort of like the one that's on. They usually put up on the the tower that we bring to our meeting, sometimes one on the trailer. Okay. All right. Well, gee, what do you think you'll put that up in, like, the spring time, possibly? I'm thinking about actually.

Building one of them into like a trailer. Sort of like what the Red Cross already has, but not that big of a trailer. How tall a tower is it? That's. The one that's broken is a four section, but there's plenty of it that I can cut. And, you know, if I make that one into the temporary up and down one, and the bigger one's the three section. So I think it's like a 40 footer. The other one's probably a 50, 55 footer, but it's again, I'm gonna have to take some section out of it to get the straight part. Okay, that's cool. Hey, I've destinated, so I'm gonna grab my music and get myself inside. Have a great evening. Sorry you had to. That was a disappointment, having to come all the way here to just go back home. But.

Talk to you later. Have a great evening. 73 KK6BZD, clear. All right, Chris. I guess there was lights on. So you decided that your practice was going on. Talk to you later. KK6 SYB mobile.

W e6a x n receiver. KC5 DWF mobile. Does anybody know if there's a meeting tonight or. My calendar off KK6 SYV? There's no meeting. And I was at the church to find that out. So they didn't fix the calendars. Okay, copy that. Yeah, I loaded up the father in law and headed this direction, so. All righty. Appreciate it. No problem. Have a good night. KK6SYV clear.

Jk6vzd mobile. Good morning. Wp6axm receiver. Well, I guess you pissed them off. Didn't come back quick enough or something. Well, you know, Just. There just aren't always people out there. Good morning. Yeah. You know, Chris, if I lived in a trailer park, right now I'd be saying, just hearing you out here warms my heart.

Yeah, Trailer park. You know, I've been at least thinking about the fact that I might end up in the trailer park one of these days. Hey, double wide. Nothing wrong with that. You know, the part I don't like is the chemicals. The new, newly constructed trailers. And they're emitting a lot of different things that are not good for you, so. Yeah. Are they really all the manufactured materials that they use? Well, I guess if you're worried about, you know, pollution and ruining your body, the damages been done years ago with everything we eat and breathe and, you know.

Terrible. Yeah, well, you know, the. I'm getting up to almost 70, and I'm kind of, like thinking, you know, what could possibly happen to me that would. Yeah. I just. I take it with a grain of salt, like, I've made it to 70. I'm lucky to have gotten this far. Yeah. That's good. You realize that, you know, our outcome really is unknown, but you're not going to be able to get out of it. Oh, no.

Yeah, it's kind of. Well, not exactly sobering, I guess, but I guess I'm thinking about guessing. Okay. How many more years have you got left? It's not that many. I've just been doing that same thing with doctor's reports and people, you know, the results of scans and etc. I might make it to 85, but I know what old men talking about when they say everything hurts. Yeah. People ask me, you know, what do you think? And I generally say, well, barring an accident or something, I'm estimating.

Mating 80s or something like that. Interesting. I got to looking or thinking about, you know, all my ancestors, and it's amazing how many of them made it to right around 80, a little bit more. So I don't see why that shouldn't be the thing for me. Although I did lose my brother. He was 69. He had some help. Weird health thing going on. They never could pinpoint what it was. Yeah, well, with, you know, modern medical care, I might be able to keep you going. I always say one step at a time, you know, when you're thinking about the future. My mom, bless her soul, she was a Bible thumper, but she never.

She shoved it at you, you know, like you're a sinner and you better do this or that, blah, blah, blah. When she left the world at 100 years old, it was all very nice, very quiet. My sisters were there, you know, they said, she's fine, and she was gonna. Yeah, well, I guess for my wife's sake more than anything else, I hope that, you know, I'm just there one day and go on the neck and not have to get put into some care home somewhere and not understand who anybody is, you know, linger like that for years. Years. Like some people do. Hey, my brother who passed.

We would talk and he'd always say, I want to die quick. I don't want to lay around with tubes in my body for, you know, years. Years, stuff like that. Cause of death was unwitnessed fall from six foot ladder. And this is important. And nobody found him for four days. He was a vet. They took care of him. They buried him up there with the military funeral. Yeah, that's another thing I gotta figure out. I mean, I'm eligible for internment in a, you know, federal veteran cemetery, but I haven't made any arrangements for it and, you know, I guess it's just something that's like, well.

I just. I don't want to think about it because that spring just, you know, it's too much reality. Yeah. I don't want to go quick, you know, my brother, you know. Was that quick enough for you there? Okay. But I want to alleviate stress, you know, when I'm ready to leave the body. It's something we all go through, you know? What good is it gonna do to whimper and cry? Yeah. Not. Not. Hey, I'm destinated. I've had a couple of nice days off, so now back to work and.

Eager to see how few days I have left till I retire. I really enjoyed those days off and not having to work. I'll wish you a good day and we'll talk to you later. 73 KK6VZD. Clear. Okay. M6IWH.
