2m Simplex (146.520 MHz) recordings for 2026-02-05

Speaker A: I could talk to Jay on this one. Easy enough.
Speaker B: Nice tools. Oh, Jay, I tell you, I don't even like going in Harbor Freight. They always got like three or four new things just about every time I'm down there. But anyway, I'm getting better at bypassing on that stuff. N6 NTM.
Speaker A: Take it down to the
Speaker B: doctor's. Off with doctor's office with you. You might
Speaker A: be able to help them put some screws in. I like my setup. I
Speaker C: can't. I probably showed at least five people every time I got a new piece. And. And I could think of something else. And John just bought $3,000 worth of tires and. And rims off me. So, yeah, I might have to treat myself to a fan tick tool. See what I'm saying? I wouldn't have done me any good even to buy the bigger case because the next tool I buy would have. Wouldn't have fit. But anyway, maybe I won't. No, no. Rack and pinion steering at Summit. I called them yesterday to order it because John's going to Reno and they don't carry bracken pinions anymore. And I asked her if she could call around the other stores just in case somebody else might have one. And she said that's something she did when she got away. Left me on hold. Didn't say, okay, I'm gonna put you on hold. Let me. Let me look around or anything. She just. Right after she got done talking, before I could respond, I was listening to music. Customer service nowadays, Jay.
Speaker A: Oh.
Speaker B: So I
Speaker A: got.
Speaker B: I got my. I'll send you a picture because it's that cool. Give me a minute.

And I never did go look n6mgm. I never did go look at the star and delta thing. I showed it to John and tried to explain it to him yesterday, but, yeah.

Speaker A: Yeah, good for 10 years. That goes up on the wall, no doubt about it. 8 by 10. I'm so happy for that. Remember I was telling you while we were eating breakfast the other day, if they really wanted to screw with me, the three culprits on hf, they. They could have. They could have put a dent in my happiness. Only temporarily, though. Next time we have breakfast, I'll. I'll explain that one to you. If you remind me. I. I did file, But I don't want to talk about that out here. Not right away, anyway. But I'll wait for breakfast. I did. We did just file some paperwork for courts. That's how. When we're eating breakfast. If you tell me that, I'll. I'll remember. Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker B: What time are you guys taking off today? All right. I'll be right back. I could see the light on at the end of the hallway calling me.

All right. There was something else, thought it was court related, I was going to tell you about. I think it's political, so I won't worry about it. Something about old Jack Smith and they can't, they can't give it to us yet because the judge ordered it not to be. But we can see the motion to keep quiet. I forget what they call that when they put a, they put a keep quiet order. But yeah, from old Jack Smith against Trump. We won't hear about what that was, but it's him trying to squirm his way out of the aggregations or the charges he's fighting.

Speaker A: I like to see you busy. No doubt. Not. Not that you haven't been able to occupy yourself. Oh, yeah, well, that sounds like fun. I'm not a bit surprised. You know, you know how it is. Some of these people, they think they learned enough about something that they could go out and do something like what they did. He did. And. And if they know just enough, the buffalo, the person they're trying to sell on something, but not enough education to do a good job. I see it all the time. Not. Not in your line of work, but yeah. Anyway, my agenda, I was gonna jack up the vet and because I got a O2 sensor to put behind the cat on the passenger side. I got all that worked out. But check it out. I drive it all the way back home yesterday, out to John's, down to Durham and back out to John's and then all the way home and I still don't have no check engine light on. Yeah. So I. I could drive back down there today and say no and check engine light. But guess what? None of the auto Dr. Lifts will accept the Corvette. Even though there's no check engine light on. They should be able to do the smog. Yeah, I wish I had one. I wish I had one of those little. I'm gonna brain fart what they call them. You know, I could plug in an analytical deal in your. In your car right there. Tells you
Speaker B: what what's going on with some of that smog stuff. The end of the month.

Speaker A: Well, that's what it. That's what it was saying that they seen that code in there. But I think. I think back when, eight months ago, I already put an O2 sensor in. I couldn't. I couldn't see. Said you need a long socket, something in order to get over the top of it to tighten up the new one. And then you got the wire coming out of the end of the top of it. So I'm not sure, but the guy that I bought the sensor from said no. I've done a couple vets and lots of other cars. You can get a wrench on that. So I need to jack it up. And I remember now, vaguely in my memory back a year ago, I jacked it up and I looked at it, and you could definitely get a wrench on it. I think I might have already changed it. You know, I ran that racing fuel that I got get up in Oregon. It's like 95 or something like that, Octane and that. I don't think that O2
Speaker B: sensor liked it. Well, it's
Speaker A: got to be better than. I mean, you know, I'll tell you what. I can floor the car without any of that being mixed in with the gas because, you know, I mix it. I don't put that much in there. Maybe. Maybe six ounces of that kind of fuel, Racing fuel in. In a tank of gas. I can make the clutch slip where we're just running Chevron premium. I can put it to the floor, and it don't slip at all. So it adds
Speaker B: that much more power to it.

Wow. I went down there and talked to John Beck yesterday. They didn't. They were full. Their shop was full. Spencer's is two. Two and a half weeks out, but I. I can change it. Anyway, that's what's on my agenda. I'm thinking about going out there and. Good morning, sir. How you doing? I was going to say hi to Mike, but. Waiting on the thread to run. Good morning, Mike.

Anyway, that's something I could go do. One thing nice about Corvettes. You only need to put the jack in one place. That lifts up the whole side of the car, makes it easy to work on.

I know. Yeah, they look heavy. So yeah, I don't know if I'd like a one position stand. That's a pretty light. So yeah, I use a floor jack. But anyways I'm gonna at least jack it up before I take off. Otherwise if it looks like that's one I changed and it's still plugged in correctly and all that. I'm probably gonna head down to Chico and we. We got enough stuff done yesterday. John's pretty excited about being able to go at the little things. Aunt Jay being able to go in either side of his shop. Either the front of the back door and the light switch is right there for the three overhead lights like I got in this shop. Them bright ass suckers. And he just ordered six to finish off the. To put along the side. Three on each side as if one. Well, his shop isn't high enough so he doesn't get as wide as dispersion as I do off those lights. And he got the smaller one for the side and then I'll be just about done with it. I sure feel it in my fingers, Shay. Talk about getting old, huh? That much electrical work, bending the wires and fitting it and sub panels and all that stuff. I'm not used to doing it.

Speaker A: All right, sorry. I'm going to turn down the HF radio so that I don't get stuck in saying hi and goodbye. It's
Speaker B: almost seven o' clock anyway. What's the last thing you said, Jay? Not
Speaker A: full panels. I got two openings on number two and three and I did fill up the first sub panel and I put a main panel in too. So it's still a sub panel. But you know, coming from the house into the first shop, that was the big one that was in there. Mad thing was rusty. That's how old that was. And I got lucky. The spacing, the width wise spacing was the same. So it was easy to put it, you know, unhooked the big wires and scrap the big one, the old one used most of the accoutrements from the side. Let me see. I think there's six and six. Yeah. On the, on that mains sub panel. Boy, there's an oxymoron for you. And then the other ones are less. I think you can get three doubles. I made, made all of them 220 though, just so you could separate things. That John's a one man band so he's not going to be running a welder and a drill press and all the overhead lights, you know what I mean? So yeah, he gets the divide divided up pretty good with, without worry of overdoing stuff.

Speaker A: I was tempted to up the Geochron to the advanced or whatever their premium premium weather. You see the high pressure set in and pushed all that storm north and it looks like the next storm right behind that one's going to go too. But my little tempest isn't agreeing. They're saying Sunday rain, Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Wednesday. Yeah, they're showing, they're showing. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 days of rain starting Sunday.
Speaker B: Well,
Speaker A: the high pressures heat 3, 4, 3, 4, almost 500 miles out in the ocean pushed that storm north all the way up to Canada.
Speaker B: So
Speaker A: if this keeps up, none of that rain coming at us and there's 1, 2, 3, 4, 4 storms, good sized storms left China. We'll see. I'd like to have four or five days of rain.
Speaker B: No, we don't
Speaker A: actually. We're right there at our average 68 inches. So they lowered our inches average over the last years. But yeah, we're up there. 65 inches, 68 inches somewhere in that little area because some of my stuff wasn't accurate. But yeah, we don't need any more rain. I just like to have it some cold weather and some high altitude snow. That's, that's the stuff that banks
Speaker B: are aquifers. All right, well anyway, heck, you're getting close to getting ready time,
Speaker A: Jay and I've been yakinir. I got a half a cup of coffee right here. I probably shouldn't drink it, but
Speaker B: I'm gonna. Sweet. Well, good luck with all that. I'll definitely put a good word in for the both of you. Check. Good morning. N6mtm.
