Kn6wnr, ko6dgy. Yes, sir. Matthew kn6wnr. Ko6dgy. But iwh happ. Happy new year. Mofo. N6iwh ko6bgy. How you doing, Pete? Happy New Year. I don't plan on staying up long enough to watch the ball drop. C1 you seen them all. Isn't there a football game or something tomorrow? Big deal happening. I don't know. Hey, you know, it's cold and wet and the thermostat on the heater is not working. I mean, everything was wonderful until today, so I'm going, hey, it's cold. Ooh, Did I hear you say your thermostat is not functioning? Yeah, Roger, Roger. Welcome to the new year. It's a wall here. Standard thermostat. It's cold. Well, hopefully you can remedy that before too long. Sounds like the heat's not going to work at all without that. Yeah, our heater. Our house is old. Say old. Well, it is old. It's from the 50s and it had the traditional double sided wall heaters in the living room. And that was sufficient for a while and then those went out and they don't make them anymore. So now we just use. They're larger size space heaters, but one in each room. And it actually saves our money because we're all. My first day on ham radio, I forgot how to use the radio. As I was saying, we only heat the rooms that we need to, so that in effect saves money. Not the cheapest running space heaters, but they're efficient. Yeah, I've got a couple of those. Oil. Oil filled radiator. Well, we won't die, you know, so I guess, you know, a little suffering. I do have an electric blanket on the bed. Hey, man, keep warm. Hey, those electric, electric blankets are really nice. I don't have that, but I do have a heating pad, so technically I could get away with that, but I don't know. W E6A X N receiver. Hey, speaking of heating pad, we have a couple of cats showed up, right? One of them is a Siamese. Blah, blah, blah. There's a story this new guy showed up out back and we're saying, don't feed them, don't feed him, Dov. Blah, blah, blah. Oh, we couldn't stand it. Little kitten, cold, hungry. We fed him. And I put a little heating pad out in this chair out back in the carport. You know, there's no heat out there. And kind of, you know, put it off to the side so it wouldn't be too much heat. But he's been cuddling up in there. Everybody's happy. Hey, that's fine. I don't listen to what other people say. It's not your fault that someone down the line had not taken care of their cat and bred with other cats. So I think it's fine within reason. Taking care of neighborhood cats as long as everybody else also does their part to make sure that they don't reproduce. Because I don't believe you should penalize them. I mean, we have one that shows up at work every day and we thought it was a male cat, but it's a female cat. They actually named it after me. The group of homeless people I work with, they named it after me. I was like geez, thanks. But it's funny because I'm the only one that the cat will come up to. So I've thought about it. But I mean the cat I guess a well fed from what I could see. So I'm not going to take it out of the neighborhood. Yeah, it's excitably wage. Well, here in Chico there's Bidwell park like a couple blocks away and a big cat problem. And they're telling people don't feed the cat. You know, there's also places where they don't want you to feed anything. Deer, bear, mountain lion. Hello. Yeah, you are towards the more rural part of Chico from what I remember. But I don't know, someone's always got to have something to say about whatever you're doing for. And I always try to stay in my lane and mind my own darn business. You mean Karen? You know, I've been trying to keep my mouth shut when I go out. A couple of times I got in trouble talking to a clerk and I thought it was real friendly, but it wasn't. Yeah, I've gotten to the point I can officially say I've been around for 38 years now with I don't give a f what other people think about what I do. I'm not breaking the law. So people need to stay on their side of their fence. It'd be a lot better. Life would be a lot better if people didn't mind their own darn business. Well, you know, it seems also everybody's really sensitive, you know, angry, ready to blow up. I don't know. Well, like today at work I was helping a guy that lives in his truck. He has a little camper. Not even a camper trailer. It's like one of those. I guess you could say toy hauler or Yard trailers, just a. Probably a 8 by 12 or something like that. Anyway, he was trying. I was helping him try to find a place where he could refill his propane tank, and he kept saying, oh, I don't feel like driving over that way. The only one is this place. And I kept telling him, like, I know that you're wrong. And anyway, I finally told him, hey, I can try this one other place, or I can just not help you. What is it? He's like, I don't need the help. I was like, okay, then, Wow. Well, you know, certain type of people they call homeless unhoused or whatever it is, but they're all kind of goofy, you know, and sometimes you just can't help them. You want to help, maybe give money to the Red Cross, but that only goes to their salaries the higher up. Yeah, unfortunately, the bureaucracy gets the best of those things sometimes. It's not saying they don't do good work, because they do, but there's no reason why the upper echelon in the area should be making 70 to $90,000 while they're taking in donations. That's the thing that gets me is like Goodwill. They'll take in donations for free and then charge you 10 times what it would be to get that same item new in the retail shop. And they're like, well, it's helping people. Is it really, though? Yeah. Well, capitalism, our world is built on greed. People go where they want, take the natural resources, make a bunch of money. Hell with the little guy. I just realized, I mean, I'm still coming down or coming off of being sick, but I been talking a lot easier today than I have been the last couple days without coughing up a lung. I was joking with someone, a friend of mine the other day. I was like, by the time I get done with this cough, I'm gonna have a darn six pack. Because you can feel the core tightening. I'm like, hey, at least there's a positive to that. He thought I was nuts, but I was like, you got to look for the positives in everything if you can. Yeah. I always remember the story of you at Social Security when the guy poked you with the big stick. So he. He better be careful. Ko6bgy Friday. Yeah. No. That knucklehead. You know, words go a long way. Sir, I'm done. Can you turn around? Yes, sir, I could do that. No, you put the metal detector wand in the small of my back and apply pressure, implying that I'm one of your little cronies and I'M gonna. I turned around and said, you want me to stick that where the sun don't shine? He's like, oh, you don't have. No, but just because you work at Social Security don't mean you get away with. You're not, you're not a cop. And a cop usually doesn't even do that. Oh yeah, yeah. But you're kind of a big guy, aren't you? Like six, six foot, what? 200? Negative. Five nine. Over a year ago I was five nine, 248 pounds. Now I'm five nine and holding steady at 178 to 180. Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute. Back up here. You lost a lot of weight. I did. Intentionally. Between just home exercises, diet change, cut out almost all sugar except for the holidays. Go figure. Walk a lot at work, started a antidepressant that also helped with my eating disorder. I had a binge eating disorder and got that under control. And yeah, a little bit of a muffin top and I'm working on that. Other than that, I'm back to. I went from a 2x shirt to a medium and pants were, were 38, 40 and now I'm down to a 3435 inch weight. So that's no complaint on my behalf? Oh, hell no. You did good. You know, self discipline. I remember that. Well, it's good to watch your diet for sure. Especially these days. You know, a lot of diabetes in my family. And when I get depressed, which can happen, I want to have ice cream and I think about it like Ben and Jerry, you know, or Haagen Dazs. Even dryers. Okay. Even vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce. That'll make me happy. W E6A X N repeater. I know ID, I. I know I already ID but since the repeater did, I'll do it as well. Ko6bgy yeah, no, actually, thanks for reminding me. I actually have a pint of crystal rainbow sherbert. That's always been my go to since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I used to really love the Rite Aid. The Rite Aid rainbow sherbert when I worked there. Quality control. I had to taste it every day. But yeah, no ice cream. It is what it is. But I don't know, ever since I started that medication, plus other changes, the appetite isn't what it used to be. And like last night I ordered a small chicken garlic veggie pizza from the round table here in town and I managed to eat a slice. I mean, mind you, I Am still technically sick. So my appetite was even worse. So I didn't even eat more than half a slice of pizza. And I was like, I'm over this. So tonight and tomorrow I have leftover stuff to that. Huh. Well, you know, they're saying actually that smaller meals are a better idea. You know, like have, you know, multiple meals through the day rather than one big sitting down and you know, a steak, baked potato, apple piece. Oh, I love a good apple pie, that's for sure. Can't eat steak because of my gout. So it's lean meat, chicken, lean pork. I can do lean pork and then fish. And I'm bummed I can't have shrimp and all that, but now that I lost all this weight, I haven't had shrimp. So I might try it. You. We have some here on hand. Might do like a, like a skewer of five on the George Foreman and see how I manage since I have some time off from work, even though I do have to go back Friday. That's a bummer. You've got to work one day in the week. Yeah, it was funny last week because of the holiday. We worked Monday, Tuesday, and then I was off Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and then the weekend, which I just set the record straight. I'm not complaining. I have a job, I get more days off than most people, so I'm not complaining with that. But it is kind of weird working Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, off Thursday, back Friday. But I'm sure I'll manage. Yeah, well, it seems like, yeah, you know, that day nobody's gonna be around anyway. You know, like one of those kind of three day weekend type things. Well, yeah, I would say yes, but most of the people I work with are homeless, so they don't really take a, they don't go out of town to go see family. It's sad because I'm more family than some of the people are, or I'm more of a family figure or a steady constant in their life than their own family is. And it's kind of sad. I mean, we had this one lady, she, she was a college graduate, but then she had a, a traumatic brain injury and basically downgrade, or not downgraded, but declined to the mentality of say like a 12 year old maybe. So I mean, like even her, I mean, I've known her through work for years and her family don't show up because, oh, we don't want to talk to her. Like, what the heck, she's a good person too. Oh, you mean the kids? Well, they're just waiting to see if there's any money. It's kind of too bad. In our society, you know, we, the older people, you know, they're old, ugly. You don't want them, you know, kick them around. Nobody cares bad. But in my family, we respected the elders. We always, you know, honored, you know, auntie and uncle and Grandma and grandpa, so. By the way, my mom lived to be a hundred years old. Hey, that's an accomplishment in itself. I mean, the oldest person I knew was, I think, 103 or 104. She was the mother of one of the local grocery stores here in town that was in business for just shy of 100 years themselves. But, yeah, 100 years, man, that's. I don't know what you get someone that's 100. I mean, they get happy when you give them a pocket of candy. But, I mean, it just goes to show. I mean, especially people of that generation or whatnot or of similar. They're not tied up with all the. Well, I got to get this. I got to get this. I got to have the newest this, the newest that. It's like, no, they're just existing and they're enjoying life. Yeah, they had my parents, you know, tough times, the Depression and World War II, you know, all that rationing and stuff. But I think my mom, she always ate at home. She didn't like restaurants. She had this idea that some kid was scratching himself and then making your dinner. So it was like, you know, stew and stuff like that. Always home cooking. Plus, also, she believed in our Lord Jesus Christ. Not saying what anybody else could believe, but for her, it worked out. She was in love with the Lord. Okay. You know, she never shoved any ideology at me, you know, never said, you should do this, you should do that. But she say, put it in the hands of God a lot, and then everything you send out comes back. That was her big creed for the day.

Yeah, it works. There's the call. It works for some people. And I mean, that's the joy of being an American or living in America. You get the choice of or you get the right to have your own opinion. And more people should express their own opinions and not be criticized for it. But with that, I will probably find clear. My pizza's heated up and so is this radio. I'm talking on a one of these new bao bank menus. These are nice little radios. For the price, it was 40 bucks for two, but I paid 80 for four because I didn't know I ordered two. Two sets. So I've already given away one and I'll probably give away another one. I don't need all of them. But anyway, Pete, thanks for the q so and I wish you a happy and healthy new year, and I'm sure I'll hear you. I threw a call out around lunchtime, but I had a late lunch. I didn't catch you. I even tried on the Carla 36 local, but, boy, that thing's been pretty quiet, too. But Anyway, I'll say 7:3. Happy New Year. K06BGY all be clear in your final piece. 7:3. Yeah. Glad you're feeling better. And I'm gonna hang out here maybe, you know, stay up, see if anybody comes out here and goes, hey, hey, man, Happy new year, everybody. You know, that's far out, dude. N6iWhere say good evening and happy new year to you guys. WD6AXM. Heck, I got enough HTs. I can have one on at the day desk. I can have one on in the kitchen. I can have one on. One on in the bathroom. Not that I would do that, but. Yeah, you know what? I'm going to stick around tonight and see if there's anyone out there. It wouldn't be. Wouldn't be too much trouble to throw out a happy new year out there on the 085. Anyway, Pete, stay warm as you can even though your thermostat's busted. 7 3K6BGY. I'll be clear. 7:30. Yeah. Hello, David. Good evening. Well, I'm hoping for a good new year coming up. You know, I can't believe 26 already. The numbers keep getting bigger and bigger. My birthday, the numbers are good. Getting bigger and bigger. So, anyway, wishing you well. Talk at you later. And six iw.

We6a x n repeater.

Wd6axm, this is Ka62b. Good evening. WD6AXM. Hi Dave, it's Manna. I just thought I would say hi because I heard you pop in there and I didn't figure you're going to stay up till 1201. So I wanted to say happy New Year and have a good new year. This is KHD tv. Oh, well, thank you, man, appreciate that. And same to you as well as Happy New Year there. Yeah, we probably will stay up because there will be a lot of racket noise and you know, people popping off these humongous fireworks. That said, we won't be able to get any sleep anyway. But anyway, other than that, sitting here listening, watching the set and keeping the puppy dog calm. WD6AXM, I'm sure I know what you mean. Different neighborhoods do different noises. I haven't heard anything yet, but I probably might but you know, as it gets closer. But I just. How's your Dan? Have you been busy? How's your workbench doing? Got a project. I'm sorry man, I had a distraction there for a moment in the house. What was that last part? Okay, no problem. I wondered how your workbench is doing. Are you working on any projects? Well, I've got a couple of small things I've been doing. A lot of it's been actually been cleaning out the bins, getting rid of stuff that's. That's no longer of applicable or useful or you know, usable. It's become obsolete. Yeah, those parts do stack up, don't they? I know what you're saying. It's like ladies sewing supplies or something or material scraps or whatever. Okay, well, I just wanted to say hi and best to you and your wife and seven three for now. Okay. This is KH6ETB. I'll be clear on your final. Oh, very good. Well, yeah, I just emptied out a bunch of discrete components, you know, integrated circuits, transistors, resistors and caps, capacitors and stuff. Probably when they were of value was they were probably about 500 to $1,000 worth of stuff, which is totally useless now because you know, there's nothing that they go to that anymore. Everything's printed circuit boards with micro circuitry on them and you know, multi layered circuit boards. You can't even work on them because if you do, you put a soldering iron to it, it'll melt right through them. So. Yeah, kind of depressing in a way, but. Oh well. All right. Thank you for the call and have a happy one. WD6AXM. Thank you. I know you have so many talents, and then for all those goodies to not be useful because changes in technology, that's very upsetting. Okay, take care. This is JH 60 TV 73. Happy new year. Mana ko6bgy. Hi, Paul. This is KO60TV. How are you feeling? I could hear in the. Hear your voice in the microphone that you're a little stuffy. Are you getting any better? Yeah, you could say that. I'm not winded every time I try to eat some food because the only way I could breathe was through my mouth because my nose is all buggered up. And I would say I'm on the downhill slope of this, and I don't wish it on anybody. I was telling Steed over there in Chico and 6iw8 that I should have a good six pack by the time I'm done with this illness because I've been coughing so much. But, yeah, it's on the mend, and hopefully I'll be feeling good enough by the weekend so I can go get my hair cut. I put it off because I wasn't feeling well and don't want to pass it on to anybody else, but, yeah, they're gonna confuse me as a moth here pretty soon at work. I don't want to. Oh, I know what you mean. They'll probably be happy. There's a lot of hair to rearrange. I always loved it, but. Yeah, those colds when you can't breathe, those are. Remember? Those are terrible. I've been kind of trying to isolate because I don't want to catch any cooties. Do you get the flu shots? Not that I'm aware of. I thought I did earlier in the year, but I. I don't believe I did. I don't think it's too late, so I'll probably do that here as soon as I'm feeling better. Probably would. Probably Would not be a good idea to get it now because I don't usually get sick when I get the flu shot. But if you're already sick, probably not a good idea. I think they tell you not to get a vaccine when you're ill anyway, but anyway, I'm gonna chow down on some chicken garlic veggie pizza that I got last night. Appetite's been quite garbage, so I've got chicken garlic pizza that I'm starting to smell, so that's a plus. So, anyway, manna, I'll say seven. Three. I wish you and yours a healthy and prosperous new Year. I'll try to do my best to be around around midnight to see if anyone's on here to wish anybody else a Happy New Year. But other than that, that's what I got for you. And as always, great talking to you. I'll be clear in your finals. Okay? I know. Thank you. It depends on. A lot of people pop in around, around midnight, so it's surprising, it's fun. And so maybe we'll talk to you. But I hope your cold gets better. They have to run their course. There's no shortcut. They just cause misery in the meantime. So get a bunch of Mentholatum. Okay. Take care, Paul. Happy New Year to you and seven three. Talk to you later. KH six ETD and I'll be quick.

Good evening or good morning. Waiting and watching KHDC tv. Stand here waiting and watching all the festivities. So, Happy New Year to all from K6ETV. I'll be clear. Ka 60 TV, K06BGY. I'll let you go, but fireworks already over here in Colusa. So. Yeah, the New Year is here. 73 Mena. Happy New Year, AO6BZY. Oh, thank you. Paul. Did you say there were fireworks over there? Yeah, unfortunately, I live in the Ripier neighborhood. I'm not part of that. But the golf and country club is directly across the street from me. So those risk buggers are pretending to not give a damn, but it's not going to damper my experience. So anyway, hopefully you have a Happy New Year and I'm sure we'll hear from you soon. KO6 easy way. Copy that. Thank you. It's been kind of quiet here, so maybe, maybe they decided to not send up fireworks or whatever. But yeah, take care. This is KAC TV. Happy New Year. 17 KB9MYF. Hey, Jeff. KHDCTV. Happy New Year to you too. Happy New Year to you too. And right here, two miles from town, two miles outside the city limits, there's fireworks going off. I can see two. Look toward town. I can see two different fireworks displays. I'm quite a few miles from town also, but no real fireworks going on here. And I haven't looked outside. Is it raining there? Is it wet? It probably is. Yeah, it's raining. Not real hard, but it's raining a little bit. Yeah, same here. It's wet and just, you know, water is falling from the sky. Not in a serious manner. Okay, well, Happy New Year to you, sir. And this is KHDC TV and I'll talk to you another time. 73. Happy New Year to you too and catch you later. KB9MYS, Kv9nys.k06vgy. Happy New Year to you. Happy New Year to you too. The name's escaping me, but this is Paul over in Calusa. Heard two sets of fireworks go off in my general area. And we'll let them party it out. I'm sure they'll pass out before they get too far along with that. Yeah, I'm two miles out of town and I can hear fireworks. Fireworks out here, away from town, over here. Yeah, my luck, I would go set off a freaking little tiny thing. No more than a popper that you'd get at Walmart. I'd have the sheriff's office on my butt. But anyway, I don't know, maybe I'LL go sit outside, see if I can see anything worth. I didn't pay for it, so I might as well enjoy it, right? Might as well. A free fireworks show and you don't take the risk of getting caught. Not a bad idea. I think I'll Next time I step outside for a small break here. I will do that. Anyway, happy New Year to you and yours. And here's to another great year in amateur radio. I've actually been more active and vocal on amateur radio than I have in person outside of work, so I got that to think. But anyway, we'll say 7:3 for now and we'll catch you on one of the nets. K06BZYM Colysis Happy New Year. Happy New Year to you. This is KB9MYF here in Orland and I'll talk to you later. Maybe on one of the nets or something. KB9MYF. Happy to. Boy, I can't. Eagle Happy New Year to the last station I didn't copy where you were out of. We're Wavemaker six off of Tango Uniform in Kenra Park. I can hear a couple of fireworks shows going on, but I don't see anything from my property. We're kind of down in the valley of those. Okay, yeah, you're a bit staticky, but I believe you said Cameron park, park area and you've heard a couple fireworks, but can't see anything from your property. Yeah, I don't have a pen or paper or else I'd write down the call sign. But Happy New Year to you as well. Good to hear you out there. And it's funny, we get more activity on New Year's Day than we do quite often otherwise, but other than that, you're still a pretty good signal from that far away, so. So, I mean, I do admit I am on an HT inside the house, so that's not helping anything. So that's probably more on my part than your part, but Happy New Year to you and yours as well. KO6BGY in Caloosa. Okay, I copy that. You're copying me? Well, I'm copying you with some kind of static whirling noise in the background. Not sure what that is. Like I said, it could be on my end, but Happy New Year to you and I wish you the best for the upcoming New Year and whatever that entails. 73 ko6bgy, all be clear. 73.
