Speaker A: Kk6vzb mobile. WB6A X M receiver.
Speaker B: Kk6vzd.
Speaker A: Ko6bby. How you doing, Chris?
Speaker B: I'm doing just fine and dandy. It's Friday afternoon and I don't have to be back to work until next Thursday.
Speaker A: Hey, that beats my return on Tuesday by a couple days.
Speaker B: That does. Yeah, it does. Hey, you got a really nice, clear, strong signal. What are you using?
Speaker A: Bubble rig. KT8900R. I don't know. I'm gonna. Like we talked before, I'm gonna have to select the space station and do that. But yeah, I'm using the mobile rig right now.
Speaker B: And those Baofeng minis, they were doing
Speaker A: good for, like, the last. For the month of December. And then tried using them inside the house, and I'm not getting good reports with them, so we'll have to adjust from that.
Speaker B: Did you have to work yesterday? Yes, I had to work yesterday. Is there a reason I shouldn't? Oh, you mean Lincoln's birthday. Yes, I had to work on Lincoln's birthday.
Speaker A: Okay. Yeah, Calissa took it off. But then we lose Juneteenth. I think it was in lieu of or something. I don't know who decides all that? They don't take any of our input into account.
Speaker B: Well, I know Yuba county doesn't recog. Well, it doesn't. Juneteenth is not one that is. Is a paid holiday for us either, nor Columbus Day.
Speaker A: A lot of people are like, oh, you get extra holidays?
Speaker B: Well, hey, you know, you can go work for the county, too.
Speaker A: They got plenty of job openings.
Speaker B: Yeah, it's very true. Actually. I said Columbus Day. I guess I should have said Indigenous Peoples Day.
Speaker A: I knew what you meant. It is what it is. I mean, if you want us to call it by something, pick a name and we'll stick with it. But don't change it and then change it and change it. I'm okay with what. I mean, call it Green Hippo Day. I don't care, as long as we get paid for it, right?
Speaker B: Actually, with everything else that's going on, maybe they should rename it to Indigenous Peoples Donald Trump Day. He might.
Speaker A: He might swing that way and do it. Never know. I think we're going to get his birthday this year or whatever that is.
Speaker B: Donald Trump Independence Day.
Speaker A: Yeah. And we also got the 250th anniversary of the nation, so that will be some pretty big parties going on for that. That might be a bad thing. I'm content with staying at my house or going out for a meal and coming home and watching a movie and going for a walk and calling it a day.
Speaker B: We used to. I haven't in a long time, but I need to pull out the movie 1776. We used to watch that every 4th of July as a family.
Speaker A: I'm sure I've seen it. I just can't think of it at the moment. Boy, that guy's got a large water tank that you put on the agricultural property. Wonder if he's going to catch rainwater.
Speaker B: Well, if you haven't seen 1776 and you need to rent it and watch
Speaker A: it, I'll make a note of that. Mentally and on paper, all that. I didn't realize that I really need to take some time this weekend and find all the subscriptions that I have and get rid of the ones I'm not using because I just realized I've been paying six months for this Paramount plus and I haven't even used it until recently. I'm using the heck out of it now.
Speaker B: But yeah, yeah. So you have to understand that the music or that 1776 is a musical. I'm okay with some musicals.
Speaker A: Usually more on the dark side like Stephen Sondheim and all that. Like Jimmy Todd, by far my favorite musical ever that's gotten depth. But I'm not opposed to a musical as long as it's not like a full on complete love story. But I'll give it a shot. It's not a long movie, is it? Or is it probably.
Speaker B: No, a couple hours. It is a very good movie, though.
Speaker A: It's.
Speaker B: It's not. It's not totally historically accurate, but you know, it's good enough that who cares?
Speaker A: Not everything has to be historically accurate. I mean, I do. Like when I watch military movies, I'll kind of be like, especially with this time, like 2006, from all through Iraq and Afghanistan, they get the uniforms wrong. They look like. They look like a hot bag of soup. They don't look anything like. It's like you couldn't ask a veteran group to be like, can you at least give us a few points on how to wear this darn stuff? Because it just doesn't do anyone justice. And then other ones, you come back like Saving Private Ryan. I think they did a great job with that one.
Speaker B: I think Saving Private Ryan is probably one of the best movies ever made and something that every high schooler should be required to watch.
Speaker A: That and Schindler's List, that's a classic. I like the way they did it with that film ST style, similar to 1930s, 1940s. Obviously it was done in the 80s and things, but they did a good job on that one as well. The undertones and stuff are just. And the music comes in and it's dark and. Oh, it just gets you.
Speaker B: Yeah, well, you know, this is a kind of. I want young people to watch those, to understand how things really were and what people had to endure. And in the case of, you know, Private Ryan, the sacrifices that people, you know, the soldiers of this country endured,
Speaker A: Their legacy has to go on. I know Papa Jake, Jake Larson, he passed away at the age of 102, almost 103. He was a D Day World War II veteran. And he's got videos that his daughter and nieces put up or grandkids, whatever, put up on YouTube. Just search papa Jake and he'll answer a lot of questions as far as he was concerned, even, basically until he died. He's like, I was just a farm boy from Iowa. What great did I do? Like, why am I being given all these rewards when the true heroes are the ones that never made it home? Ko6bgy.
Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, Roger that. Yeah, yeah. Interesting, that. Well, the. The movie 1776 came out in, like, 1972, so a couple years before the bicentennial.
Speaker A: But,
Speaker B: yeah, that's. And I have some other ones that are one of those that I like pulling back out again. There's one called the Best Years of Our Lives, and it was about three servicemen who came back to their hometown. They all came from the same hometown, all different services, you know, and they all served in all different places, but they came, they met one another on their way home, and it was,
Speaker A: you
Speaker B: know, there it was. It was a story basically, of them readjusting to civilian life after having been through what they went through. The guy that had no hands won an Academy Award.
Speaker A: W6 Pam.
Speaker B: Roger that. Harold Russell. And, yeah, an honest to goodness service man that lost his hands in service to this country. And I, you know, he was somebody that I just totally getting there.
Speaker A: Absolutely. Well, Chris and the other gentleman, I didn't catch the call sign because I'm getting ready to get out of the car. But thanks for that clarification on that or that factoid there. I didn't know that. So now I got to listen, really, to go look and see. See about finding. But anyway, gentlemen, Good evening. And 73 kilo Austin, 6 Bravo Paul and Saloon there.
Speaker B: All right, roger that. And I just pulled in my driveway myself, y'.
Speaker A: All.

Jg, do we have an update on colgate wp6axm repeater.
Again. K6ijp. Do we have an update on colgate?
Speaker A: Hey, Steve, this is Paul W6P and H. I'm not sure what you're referring to, so maybe I'm just out of the loop, but I could look something up on the Internet if you need that. This would be more of an error thing. It's my understanding that there was a rupture of a dam, but this is all speculation. Let me do just a quick search and see if I find anything. I hadn't heard anything about it so far. Comment? Go ahead. Comment.
Speaker B: This is KO6DVV Leonard in Browns Valley. There has been a major pipe break within the Colgate Power Plant, which has caused considerable flooding, not just in the plant, but downstream from it. I've had many, many emergency vehicles go past my house in the last three hours or so, and apparently there is no injury. Everyone is accounted for. No one is hurt. But the. They're still patching things together back
Speaker C: up there. Yeah, thanks for that, Leonard. Yeah, I hadn't heard
Speaker A: anything about it, and I'll go ahead and step out and let Steve. Let Steve have it back. W6PNH and I'll just be monitoring. Okay, I appreciate the update on that. I just. Wasn't there anything. Easy, jt. Yeah, we have a lot of helicopters passing over Sutter. We're just going to monitor. K6IPV clear. KO6DBV clear.
