Speaker B: How you doing, Pete?
Speaker A: It's kind of toasty over here. Got a bit of a breeze now, so it's not too bad, but got into the high 80s, mid to high 80s, I believe.
Speaker B: Yeah, it wasn't bad, but, ah, I'm not looking forward to Summertime. Yeah, I don't know if I like the heat better than the cold, but, uh, the heat up here is brutal.
Speaker A: Yeah, it's a very dry heat usually. Uh, I would say we had a pretty mild winter this go-round. It wasn't, uh, wasn't too bad.
Speaker B: Well, I guess winter's over then. Now we're going to head into heat.
Speaker A: I believe winter's over. I'm not 100% sure. I'm not up on the spring solstice and all that stuff. Yeah, it does look like we probably get a little bit of rain here or there, but it ain't going to be anything like it should have been during the time it should have been. But anyway, done with another work day.
Speaker B: Oh yeah, and then one more day and you're finished with the week. What about this weekend? You going to do anything? Take your, uh, boat out to the lake or something.
Speaker A: Uh, I don't go on boats. I joined the Army, not the Navy. My brother's got a little pin boat here.
Speaker B: He's like, you should go out there with your big body and me.
Speaker A: I think we'd probably tip over.
Speaker B: Hey, if you know somebody with a little boat or something What you do is you come up and you say, hey, I hear you're getting a new boat. Your wife says you're getting a little dinghy.
Speaker A: Hey, there you go. Yeah, they probably would say that too. Oh yeah, I can't swim, so I don't like water at all or boats or anything like that.
Speaker B: I can barely make it in the pool. I'm a sinker, you know. Try to swim and I just go to the bottom.
Speaker A: I used to love going swimming, but I don't like going to the public pool anymore. Too many young kids running around getting in your way, bumping into you, and God knows who's utilize that facility. They shouldn't, but people still do.
Speaker B: Oh yeah, it's, uh, relieve the bladder. You're in there with that stuff all over your face.
Speaker A: I know over here, uh, the lifeguards would, uh, I think at like the noon break or whatever, they would check the the chlorine levels in the pool with their little test kits and make adjustments. I'm like, you're letting a young kid make adjustments to the toxic chemical? That's smart. Sometimes, uh, get done and my eyes would just be bright red because they would just put too much chlorine and it was horrible.
Speaker B: Oh, I was just gonna say, have you ever lived somewhere where the tap water It's just full of chlorine so bad that you can't drink it.
Speaker A: I want to say Yuba City was like that, at least when I would go shopping as a kid. We'd go get a drink of water at the fountain and it was quite heavy on the bleach. But, uh, and occasionally here in Colusa, you turn the tap on, it's either brown or bleachy.
Speaker B: Yeah, I've lived in a couple places. American Canyon, California had bad water, but my My son lived in Santa Monica for a while. You think, yeah, Santa Monica, you know, metropolitan area. Oh God, all you had to do is just turn on the tap and it's— ew, man, the smell of whatever it was. Bleach?
Speaker A: Well, you think about it, I mean, look how old the infrastructure for the water delivery to the houses are. You tell me those pipes are clean? They're probably rusted and fowl and whatnot. And here we are drinking it.
Speaker B: Hey, I had the plumber who I was paying to do some stuff here, he said don't drink the water. I said, what? He said, man, get bottled water or something else, you know, Hambro, whatever, but, uh, don't drink tap water.
Speaker A: I usually don't. I have a Zero Water filter. It's kind of like Brita but better, I guess. And, uh, it seems to work pretty good. I can get a month out of using it. It sits right there on the countertop and you just reach over the top of it and have at it. But anyway, I have just finished with my rather long or short, depending on how you look at it, commute, and I'm going to go inside and anyway, Pete, good hearing you out there. N6IWH, K6PGY, 73.
Speaker B: All right, we'll catch you later on down the coax. K6PGY, N6IWH, I'll be listening.
