Speaker A: Kk 6ccd and 6iw 8.
Speaker B: Good afternoon. Good evening. I'm heading home. I'm assuming you're already home.
Speaker A: Home, Homely. You've heard of those brothers, haven't you?
Speaker C: Hugly and Homely.
Speaker A: Hey, give me your call sign, the last three letters phonetically. Okay.
Speaker B: Victor, Zulu, Delta,
Speaker A: Victor,
Speaker C: vcd.
Speaker A: And I kind of thought it was something like that, but
Speaker B: thank you.
Speaker A: How are you doing?
Speaker B: Glad to be going home this afternoon. Kind of dragged.
Speaker A: Roger, Roger. It was a draggy afternoon. Hey Will, do you see the light at the end of the tunnel? I've got bad news at the oncoming train.
Speaker B: Yeah, cute.
Speaker A: So
Speaker B: this afternoon I'm finishing my 69th year and 364th day on this earth.
Speaker A: Well, you must be wealthy. Is that your trick?
Speaker B: No, I don't think anybody could ever accuse me of having too much money.
Speaker A: Yeah, you know, I'm not real friendly with money. But I think what happens is you really have to love money. You have to develop a relationship, you know, talk to money, get it out of your wallet.
Speaker C: Oh, you're so beautiful.
Speaker A: I love you so much. You know, then the money kind of goes, hey, here's a guy, he's groovy.
Speaker B: Yeah, I guess.
Speaker A: Or you just have to
Speaker B: develop, well, I don't know, an attitude that nobody's as important as you are.
Speaker A: I'm not sure. Oh, that's kind of a low cut. But that's okay.
Speaker C: I get it, really.
Speaker A: But you know, you have to love something. Like I knew this guy who used to. Gold, Japan gold. He loved it. And he would come off of that, the dream, wherever he went, with six cops of gold and he was, you know, paying the rent, food in the fridge. Another guy knew a jeweler, he would go to swap meets and stuff like that and he would buy a little, you know, kids box of toys and there'd be diamonds in there because he loved them and they loved him. How?
Speaker B: I suppose. Oh, well. So, yeah, I. Gee, I. I'm not sure what I'm.
Speaker A: What.
Speaker B: What kind of work? My wife's giving me a birthday party on Sunday afternoon. My kids are coming up and we're having a few friends over, which means it's going to be. I'm going to have a lot of work to do tomorrow to help clean up the house.
Speaker A: Oh God, yeah, you're going to have a party, but just more work. I know what that's like. Just, you know, keep a body, a bottle of Jack Daniels on the side. You know, go nip it every once in a While learn how to say I'm fine. Hey, how you doing? Hello, hello, hello. Amateur radio call sign required. Go ahead.
Speaker C: Anyway, I'll chime in. Happy birthday, Chris. Or early birthday, whatever that is. Ko6bgy. Good hearing you out there, Pete. Maybe we'll talk after Chris leaves. Or maybe he already left. I wasn't paying that close attention.
Speaker B: So that wasn't you, Paul, saying hello, hello, hello?
Speaker C: Oh, heavens no. No, I. When I hear that stuff, I don't even interact with them. Some kids playing games and it's not worth arguing with them. But yeah, happy, happy birthday. I believe I heard you say it today. Or it's coming up. But yeah, definitely enjoy that. And that's one day down from your countdown and one day down from mine. It's just mine's a little bit longer than yours, but. Well, I'm not upset about that. Anyway, I'm gonna go have a glass of scotch and put my feet up and watch the movie and you guys have a good afternoon. Pete, if you're still out there, we can talk for a few minutes. Ko6bgyu
Speaker A: well, thank you. Thank you.
Speaker B: Actually, it's interesting. It was last, last week somebody went and got a cake for one of the. One of the new guys at work, one of the guys that worked there for less than a month and because it was his birthday and today nobody mentioned anything about mine.
Speaker C: That just means you don't, you don't value them as much. That's a pretty low move. But like we always say, just like tips at a restaurant, as a server, you don't expect them. So you're going to value the interactions that you have, the last interactions with your select few of people. You'll enjoy that and cherish that and run with that. Heck with the other people.
Speaker B: Actually, one of the guys that I've worked with for a long, long, long, long time, he went down to Disneyland this latter end of this week, so. But he came in, he came in Wednesday morning and he came in with some donuts for my birthday. So he remembers and I appreciate him for that.
Speaker C: See, that's the thing. Even with Calusa county, like the managers, they'll be selective of who they celebrate birthdays with, but those of us that work with each other, we know when the birthdays are and we respect it and honor each other because we're the one. I mean, just like you and your crew, you guys were the ones doing the Lord's bidding or the employer's bidding, I guess you could say.
Speaker A: So. Yeah, I'm not Going to let it.
Speaker B: Yeah. It doesn't really bother me that they didn't remember the one that I appreciate when they, when nobody remembered when I
Speaker A: was in Egypt, we had a thing
Speaker B: going on that whoever's birthday it was got a chocolate, chocolate piece pie in the face. And the next guy who had a birthday, the previous birthday boy got to shove a pie in his face. And we were leaving, all leaving in March. And so everybody was thinking about that. They weren't thinking about birthdays. So I never got a pie in the face. That's different.
Speaker C: I mean, I know that would have been a nice memento, but getting a pie in the face. Yeah, whatever. Not getting, not being shown respect by your fellows at work. Yeah, that is what it is. While you're. I'm not sure I forget how many days you got, but at the end of your countdown they're gonna be like, oh, gee, we should have got him a cake. And then you're sitting there having a cakewalk, putting your feet up on a Monday morning at 9am not having to do anything and sleep until whenever.
Speaker A: Yes.
Speaker B: 15 working days. 15 working days. And I have just pulled into the driveway.
Speaker C: So I'm going to go check the
Speaker B: mailbox, go inside and maybe I'll watch a video. I don't have any Scott tutoring. All right, gentlemen, we'll talk to both of you later. Have a great weekend.
Speaker A: 73 KK 60 ZD Quit 73 Chris,
Speaker C: great talking to you as always. Enjoy and I'll have the scotch for you. N6IWA you still out there? KO6BTY Happy birthday, Chris.
Speaker A: Good afternoon, Dice guys. WD6X Huh? Boy, that guy's quick on the trigger, huh?
Speaker C: W E6A X N receiver yeah. I believe when Chris when he says he's clear, he is clear. He is. There's smoke on the seat. He is probably 10ft in front of the truck by the time he turns that thing off. Pretty, pretty close. Good to hear you out there, Dave as well. I know you're back to doing what you're doing, but it's good hearing you out there. And Pete, I've shown everybody at work that, that piece of artwork that I got in the mail the other day and they're, they're impressed. I am too. I, I'm trying to think of a way to preserve it so I don't keep smudging it. I mean, I haven't smudged the art piece itself.
Speaker A: It's just.
Speaker C: I don't want to, but I also don't want to not do something right.
Speaker B: I don't, I mean it can't be
Speaker C: right or wrong but I would like to preserve it. Any recommendations?
Speaker A: Yeah, get a frame and you can find them at garage sales and stuff like that real cheap. I Forget the size 8 by 10 common and you know, then you have, you know, you won't get fingerprints or any stuff, any smudges or anything like that. But you know what I think about is a lot of times I just share artwork, you know, but I should make print, you know, and go out, out to swap meets or something like that. Cuz I have enough, you know, material to make a showing and you know, try to make some money or just get distribution but yada yada yada. That's the whole commercial thing, you know. Sucks.
Speaker C: One second this medicine is trying to choke me. Anyway, Honestly, Honestly, I think you would do good if you did some prints or if you did the original stuff as well with what you already have. I say that to say this, take it to like car. See by going to like car shows and veteran events and stuff, I don't know, might be a pretty good idea to tap into those markets there.
Speaker A: I have a website of Native American computer art. I call it, it's the figureart.comf I g a r t one word dot com. And I used to go around selling that stuff at vendor events. But it's a lot of work I think now with electronic media, Internet, you know, putting stuff out there would be a good way to make money, you
Speaker C: know, or do something.
Speaker A: And I've got other art forms, other artworks, stuff like that, paintings and miscellaneous creations. But somehow the artist shouldn't be the one doing the business. People go, ah, that sucks. It hurts their feelings.
Speaker C: Well, I mean, yeah, I can see that partially because I mean it's like the doctor making his own appointments, you know, he's got a receptionist for it. Except in my case when I work. Not, not saying that I'm a doctor and that but when I worked the crisis for the mental health team and all that days that I wasn't working the, the unit, I had a different caseload and those. Oh man, I don't even know where it's going with that. See, I dumped my, I turned my brain off, I got done. We'll pass it back to you, Pete.
Speaker A: Got the Scots talking. Hey, I used to like this stuff. Crown Royal put it in the freezer. Oh hey, you know when it was going down, it was like real cold, didn't freeze, you know. Oh, that felt good. Oh yeah.
Speaker C: Oh, no, not the scotch. Well, I got it right here. But no, there was something else, some other medicine that I took that helps with anxiety,
Speaker A: So. Well, anyway, one thing, though is I. I don't want to step on any toes in terms of offensiveness to the military, but, you know, a lot of people think, well, anything military that's bad, they're killing. They kill people. That's what they do. And then you've got, you know, a military vehicle with skulls on it. You know, I mean. I mean, I don't know if it's weird or not. It just kind of comes out. And I have one that's a favorite. It's actually a half track, so I'm going to make you a print, send it to you. That'd be easy because that. Even sending that one little piece right there. $10. Not bad, but, you know, I think. Wow, should be four bucks.
Speaker B: Damn.
Speaker C: You didn't have to pay out of your pocket to send that.
Speaker A: I know.
Speaker C: Oh, that's funny. The dog's ears are flopping in the wind in the truck. That went by. Easily distracted at this point. Be forewarned. Anyway. No, that's awesome. Yeah, don't. Don't spend any more money trying to do that. When I come up to talk about that radio. We'll just do some artwork stuff then. But, yeah, no, I dig it. I don't think you're gonna offend anyone. And if you do, that's their fault, not yours. But I digress.
Speaker A: Yeah, well, I also like military vehicles. You know, the old Sherman tank,
Speaker B: the
Speaker A: truck, what they call those things? Deuce. Deuce. Something like Deuce. Yeah, those things are cool, you know, run forever.
Speaker C: Deuce and a half. Yeah, well, they run forever until they don't. We were working at BL Air Force Base, turning in equipment from one old unit to another. And anyway, dude's like, I'm great at driving. So he's like. He's leading the pack and he wrecked the truck. I spent the next week fixing that truck because he totally tore the front cab right off. Pushed it right into the fuel tank and.
Speaker A: Oh, man, all he's had to do
Speaker C: is make a wider right turn. But no, no, he's the master driver.
Speaker A: You know, I actually like these guys who do restoration on, you know, old military tanks. You know, there's an ontos actually used by the Marine Corps. Army didn't want it. It's, you know, six cannons. Not a. On a real light tank frame, but pretty awesome weapon, though.
Speaker C: Well, that's cool. I know a Couple of years ago, I was asked by one our veteran group, but I wasn't able to do it. They someone privately has a tank that doesn't have the top turret. I guess they couldn't get it, obviously. Obviously. I don't know what the. I'm not gonna ask either. Anyway, they had. He. He takes that to parades and they wanted me to drive it. I wanted to drive it, but I wasn't able to because I could turn it because I had to go to work. Oh, that's a bummer. One time I could drive a tank and I can't.
Speaker A: Hey, Paul, maybe when you retire, put this in your bucket list. Drive a tank. You know, they're out there. You can get them if you have money, you know, and also aircraft, you know, pretty highly prized stuff. You know, rare but, you know, cool. Big boys toys.
Speaker C: Yeah, I'm not one for flying off. I'll be a passenger. I ain't flying this thing. I don't trust myself that driving and gives me nothing shady as it is, but. Anyway, Pete, I am gonna go ahead and head back inside. I've been out here fiddling around and whatnot, and I think I'm gonna go find something to watch and enjoy this scotch. Anyway, Pete, we'll talk to you soon. K06BGY I'll be clear in your final 73.
Speaker A: Yeah, you're kind of home early.
Speaker B: Really?
Speaker A: KO6BGY F6IWH I'll catch you later. Okay, you guys have a good evening. Pete, Paul and Paul, thanks for the. The way you did with the little
Speaker C: thing there at the beginning of your talk.
Speaker B: WD6AXM
Speaker C: hey, Dave. Not sure what that thing was. I've already moved on mentally. But whatever it was, I'm sure I didn't mind anything. Doing it,
Speaker A: Ignoring stuff.
Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
Speaker C: Definitely not worth it. Have a good one, Dave. KO6BTY
Speaker A: Very good.
Speaker C: Appreciate it.
Speaker A: Go ahead, Pete. WD6XM well, I'm soldering. In England they say solder and people have told me to watch those fumes. What? What did you say? Daughter fumes. What did you say? Anyway, kids, M6IWH I'll talk to you later.
Speaker C: W E6A X.

And receiver. Yeah, well, there actually is something to that fumes business. I know. You know, quite a few years ago, Motorola changed the type of solder. Wouldn't allow us to use certain kinds of solder also in the military and the Air Force. And, yeah, some of that older stuff can get kind of nasty after a while. See you later. Carry on with the soldering. WD6XM. Clear.
