Well, good evening, Chris. How was your Monday after a holiday? KN6GTN Pretty boring, Ernie. It took a long day for that. Look, it took a long time for the day to end, but I'm going home now, so that's all that matters. One of my daughters wound up with a little magnet they put on our fridge at says. I don't mind going to work, but the eight hour wait until I can go home is just ridiculous. Yeah, that's about what I feel. You know, Ernie, I took all of last week off. I took vacation so I'd have an entire week. And we had my son and his wife and our grandson and they stayed with us for a few days over Christmas. And, you know, I didn't mind not going to work one tiny little bit. Okay. You're getting yourself ready for the big day, I take it. Yeah, yeah, I think you can say that. I'm, I'm mentally there. You know, it'll be a little weird not going to work, but I don't think I'm going to miss it. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there that can, that'll help you acclimate or will give you tips, ones that have done it before. Oh, I'm sure there are. I'm sure there are. How was your Christmas? It was good. It wasn't quite as big as our Thanksgiving was. We had family for Thanksgiving from Missouri and Ohio and Pennsylvania and I had a big, big Thanksgiving. And then our Christmas was a little quieter. We had a good Christmas. That's good. That's good. Yeah. Ours was, I think, made by, you know, the fact that David and his family stayed with us for, for a few days. Gave me a lot of time with a grandson. And I think you could call that my Christmas present. Yeah, well, that's, that's what it's, that's what this time is for. I mean, if you can't spend it with family and enjoy yourself, why, that would be sad. Yes, yes. So, and then another short week this week and then I'm Almost, I'm at 92 days today, so give me a couple days, I'll be under 90. Okay, very good. I knew it was coming up in the spring there. So. Speaking of which, I remember when I was shooting years and years ago in Ohio, where I grew up, there was a big, they put a big billboard up and it was for a bank. Put the billboard up and they said, do you want spring to come fast? Make a 90 day note? Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Actually, Yeah. I have a feeling that These days are going to go faster than I ever thought was possible. Well, that'd be nice if they did and didn't just drag on. So. Yeah, very good. Was it frosty down there this morning? Yes, it was. Yes, it was. I had to sit and let the truck warm up a little bit. Melt some of the ice off of the windshield. Yes, same up here. It was surprisingly frosty. I think the lowest I saw in the truck thermometer down at the bottom here was 31 degrees. It was like 37 there at the house because we're up on top of a nose. Makes a difference. Yes, it does. Yeah. I think I looked at my, at the weather info on my phone and it said 32 degrees here in Yuba City this morning. And I. I didn't really take that much notice. Is that a repeat tonight where it's going to be clear? So I'm assuming it'll be pretty chilly again tonight. I haven't noticed, but I think you're right. Generally, Generally it warms up when there's an overcast and if it's clear, it gets colder. Yeah, that's right. And I thought maybe we'd have a little bit of fog after all that rain. And we did maybe a little Saturday morning, but after that it's been pretty nice. Sure. Can't complain about that. Boy, those 20 days of fog or whatever it was that was a little unusual. That's a little hard to take when it goes that long. And I think I told you they were. Some of the old timers up here were talking about in the early 80s somewhere in there. And I'd like to look this up, see how accurate they are. They claim there was. The record is 45 days of fog from the middle of November to the end of December was uninterrupted. I mean, just continual fog. Everybody day. Well, that's quite a number, but I think I could believe that. Do you have any trees fall in your house? Fortunately it was not on the house, but there is one tree from the neighbors. There's an empty 16 acre lot beside our place. There was a big tree fell in over the fence. We have a big fence to keep the deer out of our orchard. So big tree come over the fence. We're going to have to cut that up and fix the fence. Wow. It's fortunate that it didn't land on your house. I had a couple of limbs come out of my maple tree and fortunately they. They landed on the side of a tree away from the house. They weren't that Big. So I don't think they would have done much damage anyway. But still now I'm sitting there looking at that tree thinking it needs to come out because there seem to be too many dead limbs that been coming off of that lately. We did have one piece destroyed on our property for my wife's birthday. I bought her a greenhouse. Spent a whole day assembling the thing. It comes in a thousand feet pieces or whatever. And it was a beautiful little greenhouse sitting out there. And that wind come along and we woke up and it was in what was left of it was in a tree and it was all tore apart. Well, that's a shame. Yeah, that, that must have been just you look at that and shrug your shoulders and I'm not sure what else you can do. But yeah, too bad. So I learned something through that the next one will be fastened. Reminds me a little bit along many, many years ago we had a little tornado come through south of Yuba City. And it came through my friend's property and picked up. They got a small runabout fiberglass boat, you know, that picked it up and tossed it into the next field. Yeah, I'm used to that type of thing from the Midwest. We have, you know, we went out taking pictures after these storms and just, you know, it's a. What it can do. But I, it, you know, it's been quite a while since I saw a wind like that here in this part of the country. Oh yes. Oh yes. Well, I'm just pulling into my driveway and I'm looking and I'm seeing that my, my neighbors have got their garbage cans out. So I need to put mine out and hopefully I won't have to fight the recology. Last week I had put my garbage cans out and they neglected to empty my recycle toter and I tried to get it taken care of and they tried to tell me that. They were basically telling me that it was my fault that it wasn't. And I'm like, no, it's not. Yeah, I didn't get it picked up till the end next day. W okay, well, I'm pulling into my drive as well, so good chatting with you. 73. You have a good evening and we'll catch you later. KM6GTM all right, Ernie, have a great evening. KK6VZV clear.

Kk6vzd mobile wp6a xm receiver. Hello Chris.m6iwa. Good morning. Good morning. I hope you had a good Christmas. Ah, really can't complain. How about you? Had a great Christmas? I had three days with my grandson. That's the longest I've ever had an opportunity to be and interact with him. So yeah, it was great. How old is he and how many grandchildren do you have? He's the only one and he's nine months. So yeah, he was, he's interactive now. So, you know, that's great. That is great. You know, I feel like grandparents are an important part of the family. You know, like you kind of have to help out with guidance for the child. Not discipline or anything like that, but you know, just offering another way. I agree, I agree. It does help that he's a very contented little boy. He doesn't, he doesn't cry very much every once in a blue moon, but most of the time he's just, yeah, he's just happy. Oh, that's good. You know, I'm trained as an educator and of course I always think that you really need to take an active part in the child's education. Going along and helping them with the homework, that kind of thing, but also inspiring them to creativity. Yeah, yeah, that's, yeah, there's a lot that grandparents can bring. It was really kind of nice that, you know, my, my daughter in law, this is her first child and she's been rather. Clingy is not quite the word but it's the closest I can get at the moment. It was nice the other day when they were getting ready to leave, you know, getting prepared and she needed to do something without him. She just came over and flopped him in my arm. It's like, well, okay, sure, I'll take him. Well, how far away do they live? I mean see them often or long trip or what they live in Kim. So it's only a little over an hour's drive to go see them but you know, it's only about once a month. You know, sometimes it drags on a little longer than that, sometimes a little less, but about once a month and you know, be nice if you they were a little closer. I'd like to have a little bit more time with them, but that's not bad compared to what people have to deal with. I think we had a break. Go ahead. Yeah, I was going to say, you know, it's maybe not as often as we'd like to, but you know, at least they're not out of state or down in the, you know, LA region or something like that. It is doable. Okay, say again the name of the town. Cameron Park. So it's not too far from Shingle Springs. You know, there's somebody out there, they're either trying to get in or they're jamming you like a bug. Oh, gee, I didn't think that I had kicked anybody off. Sometimes you don't have to. It's if you appear confident that makes them nervous. Live down by El Dorado Hills, just up the hill. Actually, that's not bad. Hey, when you retire, go up there, visit, hang out, and then when it's time to change the diapers and do all that stuff, you go home. True enough. I've already kind of hinted that, you know, if there's something that they could use help with and I can, you know, I'm available, I'd be more than happy to come down. Well, do you get along with your son in law? That's my son and I get along with my daughter in law just great. That's good. You can't beat that. You know, like you have to have a, like a common belief system or something, you know, like everybody, you know, on all cylinders. Yeah, I'm. Well, I don't say that it was an awful lot that I, I made some efforts right after they got married to, to just have some, some one on one time, just me and her, you know, so that she would, you know, feel totally accepted. Yeah, I have two daughters. But you know, there's a time like when they're dating, they finally get married, they're kind of relieved. Oh God, no more of these guys being known. Hey, can I, can I see Molly back here? Well, I'm not sure about relieved. We were very, you know, very happy when they said, hey, we're getting. Oh great, we're glad to hear it for the both of you. Yeah, well, I had sisters and you know, I could see that it was a little bit tough for them to find an appropriate mate, you know, because even they wouldn't date certain type of guys, you know, zombies. That sounds like, you know, she was very prudent. And that's a good thing. Uh, yeah. Well, someday, if you ever have nothing to do and you're just bored sick, ask me about my family. We'll go on and on and on and on. But I have one new granddaughter in Oakland, California. My son lives there. We've been in the bay area for 40 some odd years. But he likes it. Everybody says so. It's bad. And, you know, people get mugged and et cetera. But, you know, Oakland is his talent. Oh, Well, it is what it is. You know, there's good parts in Oakland and there's ones you'd rather not be in. But, oh, well, say I've just arrived here and I gotta get on my horse and get in there and actually get over to someplace else. So I will talk to you later. Have a great day. Don't venture too far out into the fog. 73 KK, six VZD. Clear. Okay, Chris, I'm six IWH. Clear.

Kn60xxglobal from Carmichael to the center buttes repeater system. Kilo Oscar Zero November Delta Romeo mobile on Highway 70 north of Oroville. My apologies as my recovery. I've just got a new antenna put on my RAV4 and wanted to get a low profile antenna. So how am I coming to the center repeater? Well, you're fully audible here. No static whatsoever. I mean I'm in a car so I can't give you a super thorough audio report. But it's 100% audible to me and no static. Hey, it sounds great. I appreciate you coming back here. I'm just gonna just kind of check on some repeaters. I live in Carmichael so I know the fact that coming in the repeater is very good. It's a little profile tool band from I picked up from HR just earlier. I had one before, I've got another one. But instead of have two of them, one for each of my vehicles so I could switch off radios very easily. So get your name and location. I'll let you go. Thank you. Cool. What's the antenna itself? Is it a full half wave or how small is it? This is Kilo Oscar Zero November Delta Romeo. Kilo Oscar Zero November Delta Romeo. Connor here. I actually don't live up and around Oroville. I'm just passing through on my way back down to Sacramento. I didn't hear any transmission there. Actually I gave mine and I heard nothing else until right then. Oh, sorry about that. No problem. It's a Comet low profile. It looks like one of those old cell phone antennas. It's a mag mount. It's similar to the model I've had for a number of years. But I figured I'd just have one for each of my two vehicles. I'd switch off to my work and other things. So as long as I come in and appreciate it more than 25 watts on my YA zoo dual band. Very nice. Yeah, I know this works great. I have an SD5 half wave. I think I'm running about 30 watts right now. But the exist antenna has worked very well for me. The only low profile antennas I've played with are ones that I had for GMRs. Just a little were probably like 4 inches tall. 5 inches tall. The little screw down ones that actually work pretty well. But you know, low profile is awesome as long as you can make it work for your use case. What's your current location about? I'd say five miles north of Oroville on Highway 70. Oh good. Yeah, I work for a SIFA company. I work at the warehouse north of downtown Sacramento. But I don't. I haven't driven in a couple years. Had to stop driving, but yeah, from that area. Yeah, you're coming Very, very good. Yeah. So you're a few miles north of Oroville on the way to that interchange. Wick's Corner just came down off the 70 off the canyon. So I am not really close to anything right now. But I just came in and just merged in. Forget your name. I'll go and clear out here and wrap it up. So you take care. Seven three is all right. Good to talk to you. The name is Connor. Charlie. Oscar. November. November, Oscar Romeo. And I'm just cruising around, so good luck making more contact on the repeater there or on your antenna there. I already parked the car in the garage for the day. So you take care of Carlo and we'll. Maybe some other time. All right, Send threes and have a great drive back. Maybe someday we'll catch again. Happy new year. Otherwise, K6BX6 93, K0NDR and back to listening access. Clear. QRT.
