2m Simplex (146.520 MHz) recordings for 2026-02-20

Speaker A: Are you bothering people.
Speaker B: That called CQ and I wasn't prepared to say anything to him, but anyway, sounds like he might have
Speaker A: went away.
Speaker C: Could be your voice n6ntm.
Speaker A: Okay. Well, yeah, you got
Speaker B: me there.
Speaker A: Name is Steve. How you doing this evening? Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker B: Supposed to be a nice couple days coming up here, so that's good. Had an interesting morning out here. Yep. Weather wise, anyways. Yep. Yeah. You got any plans for the weekend?

Oh, yeah. No, it shouldn't be. Yeah, I was getting pictures and stuff. Some of my friends up there in paradise and little snow here, too, but it didn't stick here at all. That's always fun. I've been playing around with some meshtastic devices and just built one right now. Had a little frustrating spot there. I thought I might have burned it, but looks like it's working okay. Yep. How are you familiar with meshtastic?

Yeah. Taking a hold. Pretty good group up there. And us, you know, some of us down here in Chico area been pretty involved in it and establishing the map pretty good. I think we've got about 20 nodes or so in paradise area now. Got really good connections into the bay at this point with that. And then they come down here and hit the search and rescue buildings. And also several of us down here in Chico. Although I have a hard time, there's only one guy up there that I can kind of talk to on a most regular basis through mesh, anyway.

Speaker A: Well, you seem pretty good, you know. Hard for me to tell on the last generation I got. Before then, it didn't seem like you were,
Speaker B: you
Speaker A: know, you were having any issues at all. So, anyway, I see where you're located. I'll see if I
Speaker B: can figure out how far away you are from me.
Speaker A: That's a cool thing in case people want to get some other fashion.

It doesn't tell me how. Of course I could see now that it looks like January 1st so that's cool. Congratulations on your ticket. Anyway there's a few of us that meet up on Thursdays and Fridays and clubs and things like that. Thursdays 10 o' clock at Barnes and Noble in the coffee shop there there's usually six people sitting around there. You always can tell who the ham radio guys are for a couple reasons but one is they generally have radios at their table anyway and then on Friday So tomorrow at 10am at 7 Bucks in paradise, oh usually half a dozen or eight people, something like that usually hang out and have some coffee. Good place to get some real information from. Solid people that have been around for sometimes multiple decades and be very helpful too. Like you know, if you're studying, if you're general and you have questions and you want to talk to Some experienced people kn6MGK.

There's another guy who lives across the channel from me here, and Chris. You may have met him at the Gears meeting. Good guy. Anyway, he and I collaborate on things sometimes, but he does a lot of antenna building and stuff like that. We do some PODA stuff. Parks on the air. Kind of fun. So anyway, I think he's learning from cw. I'm learning from. Although I've taken a little bit of a break here for about a month. I just bought another key, so I'll be getting back into that real soon. But nevertheless, you know, like myself, another guy named Pat will go over to Chico Panera and have a cup of coffee. We're a member of that sip club, so get it kind of free, pretty much the monthly fee, I guess. But anyway, shoot the bull on a few different subjects because we have more interest than just radio over.

Most of the time you get full signal here. So you've been kind of wavering in and out a couple times. But I live in the northern, I'm going to say the northwestern part of town. So you know I'll give you like say East Avenue and the Esplanade. That's pretty close, you know that's going to be a little bit to the east of me. But anyway, so that gives you an idea. I saw your address, I have to look it up because it's not ringing the bell where that is. But anyway, friends that live East Chico and North Chico and so forth so you know you're probably doing well for everybody. There's a neighborhood here about 7:30 if you're interested in taking a listen at least on the same frequency and that gentleman's more downtown area, the net control you could take and see how many other folks around the area. Maybe kp, you know, Elk Creek, guy in Elk Creek, gentleman in Magalia there and so forth you might take a listen to see who you can hear. Dad, did you, did you just hear Blake? He's in Magalia. Did you hear him? Yeah, there you go. So yeah, 7:30 and you know we used to have about a dozen check ins but lately it's been between 6 and 10 or so check ins but we always want more. So it's a weekly Net Thursday at 7:30. It's called the North Valley Simplex Net run by. His name's Jim KJ6PKQ. He's an older gentleman but really fun and he makes it fun when he can but he'd certainly like a little more people to get involved again. That would be so fun. Yeah, yeah. So are you familiar with the CARLA system? California, California area, you know, California Amateur Radio Linking Association. Get it right. California Amateur Radio Linking Association. Anyway, that's where I kind of hang out for repeater. I've been a member of Gears. I was until this year for about four years straight a member of gars. Right now I am a current member of pars which is a paradise group who have YAESU repeaters and they are also C4FM potential. What kind of a YAESU radio do you have right now? Okay, yeah, well I think that's a newer model so I'm not so familiar but a lot of us have the FTM3 hundreds. I think the new one's the 310 500. The 510S. I'm on the FTM400. Anyway, C4FM capabilities which is a digital mode sounds really good. It doesn't sound as good as fm, of course, I think, but pretty close anyway. And it's a good little option to have digital modes, and then you can even talk to people through wires. X all around the world, really, you know, on Wirezec. So that's what makes C4FM kind of interesting. KN6MGK.

Speaker A: Yeah. So if you go to carlaradio.net that's Carla C A R L A radio.net you'll see a listing of over 30 repeaters. And the one that we typically around here is Carla 36 and it's at 146115 with a tone of 1, 2, 3. I don't expect you to write that down, but maybe if you've got time, you can look it up on the Internet there and then figure is a dual PL tone system because it's a link system on one tone. It's just local where you won't get yourself into too much trouble. But if you use the link, use a different tone for link. Well, you can talk to all of California and parts of. Well, almost all of California. I always say it that way. Almost all of California and parts of Nevada, like Reno and Las Vegas.
Speaker B: All the repeaters link together that way. Yeah, a little scratchy now, but anyway, you come in pretty good for the most part there. What type of antenna do you have? You might check out Meshtastic.
Speaker A: Also, a lot of us are buying these Heltech V4 nodes. The one I just bought after tax came to $25, so not a big deal. You can spend more money on antennas and stuff like that, or solar if you want it to be solar and stuff. But anyway, run off little batteries and stuff. Anyway, if you're anywhere near over by that search and rescue building at all, you got great coverage into the mesh on that. So just a thought. Seven through eight. Hopefully we'll
Speaker B: hear you
Speaker A: later. Kilo November 6th Mike Golf Kilo.

Speaker A: There he is. Yeah. Frequency is awake now. Just for you. We were out here talking to Ko6LUM.
Speaker B: His name is Matt. And Chico, a new technician, so that's all I know. But he did put his out there. I think John did. Two one time. So we're awake out there and good to hear you back on. Hope all went well in Chico.

Well, I just kind of built my own first node here. I did put mesht haptic on it to try it out where I just bought the $23 Celtic V4. And you know, it come with two antennas. I didn't realize that one was the Bluetooth antenna. But I figured it out once I got it booted up. And my Bluetooth was terrible, but it was working. And I go, this got to be this Bluetooth antenna. And I used the Bluetooth antenna. I used it for the regular antenna, so I had to switch it around. And there was another problem I had too, which was the. The other problem I had was the wire. I made up a battery with three 18,650s and I put the two leads to it. And then when I went to go plug it into the. To the board, all of a sudden it sizzled. Fry, burn up wires. I'm like, what the heck? I didn' I did anything wrong. But evidently I think I was just trying to push it in too hard and somehow, somehow they have. They had a direct short and anyway burnt them up. And boy, I couldn't get that battery out of my hand fast enough. Well, I definitely put my voltmeter on the. On the battery itself because I put them in parallel, you know, and so I knew that was right and I knew that I hook the red to the correct positive and black to the correct negative. But, you know, there's no way you're going to put any probes that I've got into the little connector that goes into the health tech v4 to be able to determine it. Yeah, I didn't really do anything wrong. I just pushed it into the board and then I wanted to get a little extra in there, I thought. So I put my needle nose to squeeze it and that's when. That's when the trouble happened. So that's the secret. Don't squeeze it tight. I know. I did the. I did. I knew where the right connector was for the antenna because I've already built a couple, but, you know, so that's where I put the button. I thought that the Bluetooth antenna was integrated into the board and it's not. So they say it kind of is. But there's actually an IPEX connector at the middle of the board where the Bluetooth antenna goes. And normally you'd have a screen. I think there's probably a screen OLED screen that might cover it up or something. I'm not sure how to look next time, but in the event. But I use the Bluetooth board, I'M sorry. I use the Bluetooth antenna in place of where the other antenna goes, thinking that that antenna looked like a dipole. That worked just fine. Anyway, I found out differently. Yeah, no, I have no problem with the unit was working. I even put a test out there using a Bluetooth antenna and got a comeback from the bay area. So, you know, it was. It was working my outside MGK4 node, so it was working. Anyway, ultimately I made, you know, changes in the mesh core. So I wanted to test it this way. Well, they're reclaimed batteries, so they're 2,000 milliamp hour batteries. So, I mean, I guess 6,000 milliamp hours is what I got here, but unfortunately, they probably are. You know, I picked. Of the ones I got, I picked out the ones that, I mean, I charged them quite a while ago, so they still had 4.04 volts in each of the batteries I selected. So when I put them together, we'll see how it goes. I have no idea how much battery life I'll get. I don't worry about those kind of things. I know some people do. They may want to make all these calculations and nerd out on it, but I'm not one of those guys.

Yeah, it's been sunny for a while. I mean, I guess we definitely had a couple hours of sun anyway down here. But it cleared off, you know, probably one ish or so from the rain, you know, and then we actually had a few bits of snow that was interesting, but nothing stuck, of course. It was just snowing for about 15 minutes anyway. So, yeah, no, then it kind of cleared out, saying one o' clock or so. No more rain since then, but then the sun came out.

Oh, really? I was seeing an update where they said the tower was going to be on for three days. No, I'm just kidding. I didn't hear nothing like that. I just wanted to see your reaction.

Well, since you put that generator in, it wouldn't be because of a lack of time. Probably have the time to do it.

Speaker A: Well, I'm still cleaning up here and building this from building this node and I don't know, looking at this thing that Dan gave me, you know, that converts 12 volts to 5 volts, I might hook up a couple wires to it or something and try to figure it out, see if I can figure how it works or something that's sitting in front of me. I've got another battery to build. Also got one of these Amazon fire sticks I want to hook up and see if it works still and see what it does or what
Speaker B: it can do for me, if anything. Well, this is an old generation one. So anyway,
Speaker A: so how do you do you ever watch, like, say, Fox News, and if so, how do you watch it?

Speaker A: For sure. Yeah, I don't, I don't care about that so much, but I was liking watching the business channel in the morning for about half hour anyway, maybe an hour. Stuart Varney, and sometimes if I woke up early, Maria Bartiroma, anyway, I like her. But nevertheless. Yeah, when you get rid of your services here, I don't have that ability. I do have the YouTube stuff and I did pay I did decide to pay for the YouTube Premium. So they don't get ads now. But that cost, I guess, another $14 a month,
Speaker B: which that seems ridiculous, but it is what it is. Yeah. Well, so are you paying for that or not? Or do you get you get to watch the commercials? Not commercial to add. Yeah. Well, on the regular TV that sometimes is 30 seconds or something, not 5 seconds.

Yeah. So does Linda like it all that way, too?

Okay. Yeah. Well, anyway. KN6NGK. Yeah, it's something different here. But the wife used to, like, you know, we DVR everything pretty much. So, like, if she wanted to watch a show, it could even be Gunsmoke or something like that. She could just go sit there and put it on, and there she goes and be able to watch the one that could have been running, you know, four days ago. You know, whatever. You can actually pick through the episodes and decide which one you want to watch.

Well, I'm pretty sure that, like John up there, he must have some sort of service or something he's watching in the mornings anyway, for his news.

If he has a Starlink, then somebody ought to get with him like you and get a Starlink Mini. They give them to him for free. But then, you know, if you want the 100 gig service, it's 25 bucks a month. So anyway, I think that's what Jeremy is doing, something like that because he has a Starlink. So anyway, if you already have a Storm Ink and offering that to people instead we have to pay. Like if I wanted to go get a Starlink mini, it'd be $200.

Speaker A: Unless that's what he's got. Maybe he's got a Starlink. Is he? Okay, so he didn't get the. He doesn't have a home service. He has the Mini. Okay. Okay, so there you go.
Speaker B: That's what I was trying to say. Okay, so he has both. He has the home unit that's stationary,
Speaker A: and then he has the Mini you can take with him. Okay, Well, maybe you can borrow the Mini
Speaker B: sometime. If you ask him nicely. So you can go out someplace where there's no Internet at all and still run FT8 by using the Starlink minis timing.

I flirted with the idea of getting just a Starlink mini because that would be great for taking it out portable. You know, you only have to keep it on the $5 a month plan, so that might do just enough. According to what I read, you can do texting and wi fi calling with it, and maybe it throttles your Internet way, way, way down, and that's fine. I don't need any Internet, so. Not when you're out doing digital like JS8FP8. You just need to time your machine. You just want to be able to get on there and be able to get its GPS and so forth so the timing will be right.

Speaker A: I wonder if Dan has a way of testing this like we tested the heltech output. I wonder if he can test the output of my T
Speaker B: beam if I bring it up there. Kn6mdk.

Hey, man. That little device he took over there? I'll have to just ask him if he can bring that along and test it. This has the SMA connectors anyway, so I could see the output of the C beam and decide which I'd prefer to use as a mesh core repeater.

Remember, we're supposed to go to breakfast at 8:30. It's cozy, right?

Speaker A: Well, we better cancel then.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker A: I better text. Better text Dan.
Speaker B: I know he was planning on meeting up there. Yep. Was he going to make it
Speaker A: to the coffee tomorrow?

Speaker A: W6lnd. Jeremy over in orland. I'll be in and out.
Speaker B: Thanks for doing the net, jim. Kc6ufe, santa fe. I
Speaker A: have no excuse, so check me in, put me on the list.

Speaker A: Well, jim, I almost tried to check in on the wrong frequency, but here I am. Kn6mgk. N6NTM.
Speaker B: Jonathan Magalia. Well, I've heard a kapoop and I've heard of kabang. That guy must live in California. Capay,
Speaker A: huh?
Speaker B: Yeah, I don't. I don't really have anything for the net, Gemma. And half the time I end up getting up before you get back around to me. So I'll be in and out, me and Doug. N6 NTM.

I say I him. Patrick out there said he's got some snow about a thousand feet from the house. So. Anyway, that sounds pretty interesting. I heard him okay, enough. Anyway, I think. Thank you, but that's what I got. I think he was in and out kn6mgk.

Dc6ufe bail in cafe. Well, I think Johnson was too much. It was in a wild blizzard conditions around here at least, you know, California style. Anyway, so. But noon sun came out and burned right off. But I think actually put my hand on the snow shovel, so I figured that counts. We'll see how next couple days back to HP6UFE.

Okay. Yeah. I was waiting on you to give me permission to come ahead there. I copied everything Bob said. He was 5, 9 plus 10, I would say, on the last transmission. And it was perfectly clear to me. So I'm probably in a different position than you are, Jim, but anyway. And I will get in touch with you one way or the other, Bob, and we'll figure it out. And that's what I've been working on today, by the way. Meshtastic and Mesh Core. So I think there's benefits to both of them. They use the same devices. But the guys up in paradise are just starting on Mesh Core, so might be a little while. It took us a couple of months to get going on the Meshtastic, so it'll probably take us at least that on the mesh core also to get up to speed on that. But anyway, yeah, the note I made today cost me about $25. I just bought one board, but it has no screen on it. I can't see the stupid screen anyway. So anyway. But it's working. I have it up right now and it's communicating to the network. Being in Elk Creek, I'd be real interested in how it would work. I'd probably want to take a trip up there just to try it out, to make sure it's worthwhile to. I think so if he has a good line into the Sutter Buttes, a good pathway somehow, because I think that's where the information, the traffic is coming from that would get into Elk Creek. But anyway, Mesh Networks and Meshtastic, that's kind of something I've been working on here the last couple of months. That's all I got. Thank you for doing the net, Jim, and nice hearing your voice. GN6MGK.

Yeah, we did. He said it was kind of cold up there and he's got a little bit of a garden going. He thanked me for onions because I did give him some onion starts. And hey, Patrick, my onions are doing okay, too, but they sure could use a little bit more greenery on them, so they need to have a little bit more warmth. My garlic is going okay, too, and brassicas. So I have some cauliflower I've been eating on and broccoli coming real soon. So anyway. But yeah, Patrick, back to you. Jim. Jim, you got a young lady trying to get in just before Steve jumps on it.

Speaker A: W6js. Little better late than never. Hey, Bob from,
Speaker B: I guess, Elk Creek. You're booming in here too. It's five, nine. I think you maybe got the wrong antenna up there, Jim, because everybody else is pretty much booming in. I'm sitting in my hamshack with my car hurt, Jack and I. It's so cold out here. This isn't fun this summer. I'll be sweating in the winter waiting for the snow. We had snow here in downtown Chico, across from Denny's, across the freeway where I am, but didn't stick on the ground. But Paradise. Oh, boy. There's a bunch up there. We got a guy rent store up there and they took pictures of it. It's almost like a foot and a half, two feet of snow. That's all I got. This is Tom, W6JS. Sorry about being late.

One more thing, Jim. I miss you by an hour at Country Waffle on Monday. So I was looking for you but I didn't see you already left and had breakfast. This is Tom W. 6Js, we're clear. About 10, about 10:15 I think it was. I took my sister in law to a doctor over, Dr. Sluf, I think his name is, and had a waiter in a car and said let's go have breakfast. We went over there, but I missed you. You had just gone about an hour before that older lady told me. You know the guy named Jim Said yeah, I know the ham operator. Yeah, we know him. You're a legend.

Speaker A: When I used to live up in Centerville before I got burned out, I used to go there probably almost every day or every other day. The first booth on the as you walk in was my favorite booth and I'd sit there and watch the waitresses and they got to know quite well. I got really friendly, I guess, with the two daughters and the mother. I used to work with the mother at Enloe but I guess they're not around anymore. They must have moved on and did something else because I was asking about them. Yeah, I used to go there quite a bit but it's at the wrong end of town for me now. I go to Cozy's or any other places
Speaker B: over this way. Yeah, I know who
Speaker A: Andrea is. Yeah, there used to be another lady, a waitress, and I think she lived on a boat, one of the lakes around here. I remember she's talking about a houseboat her and her husband lived on.

Speaker A: Yeah, well,
Speaker B: it happens.
Speaker A: My wife is going to be forced retired in a week and she's not looking forward to it. I'm not looking forward to either. I don't want to entertain her. So that's the way it goes for ID
Speaker B: W6Js. Yeah.
Speaker A: She made really good money. We're gonna miss that, but we'll be okay. We're still waiting on the last of the fire money, but the last I heard, we're only gonna see, like, 1%, and it's still ow is 30%. That's a big difference between 1 and 30. Yeah, but that's the way it goes.

Speaker A: Yeah. Someone's saying, is there a net tonight? Well, he just closed it,
Speaker B: but
Speaker A: we might be able to get you in. What was your call sign and your name?
Speaker B: Okay, well, nothing. Kn6mgk.

Speaker A: Well, 7:00 in the morning. N6 ntm. 31 degrees in magalia today. Oh, yeah. Good
Speaker B: morning. N6 ntm. Yeah. I got straight out of
Speaker A: bed and out there in the dark, all bundled up with my headlight on and a handheld flashlight and a voltage detector and a pair of channel locks. Lori took a shower and
Speaker B: that was the end of the water. Oh, yeah, We've been on since yesterday afternoon. Well, yeah, So. But that other thing in the. And the. And the box and everything worked good.

Don't buy pipe wrenches. I probably got six of them, all different lengths and in thicknesses. Yeah. I want a waste of money. You'll probably be another 20 years before you need them.

Oh you're going all the way down to Chico. Oh yes it is the fellows day. Yeah I'm gonna pass. As much as I would. I'd love to go have breakfast but Lori's been taking the truck for three days so she didn't go to work yesterday. She didn't want a chance being out there with the idiots and wrecking the new truck. So anyway she took off already this morning. So anyway I think it's just the starting capacitor because she took a shower so you know the pipes aren't frozen. Pressure tanks out right out there a few feet from the well. There's electricity is all good out there. I took my little, my little voltage indicator. Yep both directions. There was two dead lizards in the, in the big breaker box. And of course there's a sub panel. It's got its own breaker or juice everywhere. So I took the pressure switch and just tapped both springs. But since I had that little plastic voltage testing tool I was able to manually do the relays. No spark. No spark. No there's power going right up to the. From the main. From the sub panel breaker. There's power. First thing I did is went to the main 300amp service right there and shut them all off one at a time and, and turned it back on. And then I went to the sub panel with the little tester and one of, one of the breakers in the big. The main panel was hard, hard to shut off and I thought ah that's what it's going to be. But I did it back and forth a couple of times and it if it's held normal but anyway I went to the sub panel there and flipped that one off and back on and I had voltage there. I just want to see how it felt. The only box I didn't know was the capacitor. You know the box. I'll be willing to bet you that's what it was. But in the sub panel was two dead lizards sitting right next to the breaker and they, they had been dead for a while. They weren't crispy but the moisture from the snow probably was enough to make them semi soft. They, they look like a couple of spoons. They were on top of each other probably trying to stay warm. But lizards are cold blooded. They don't, they don't generally care about that. Yeah, I'm thinking it's the cap anyway I do got my Amos. My, my fluke is down there John's house so I couldn't, I couldn't check for that. I know it Ain't frozen pipes. Because Lori took a shower this morning and then she came out and said the water just shut off. So I immediately went out. That was a rude awakening. Get straight out of bed and go play in the snow. I didn't want to unscrew that lid to that. But you know how they do that. You buy the whole box and then you just take the lid off and plug it onto your box. If I. If I don't, I don't. I don't think they. None of them. None of them stores will just sell you just the capacitor anymore. These the ones in Chico. They want to sell you the whole box. I don't know. It's 80ft, though. I know that. So she just put it in just before I worked pretty good met. So it's been in the. Been in the hole there. Lori's mom's been down in that well for almost 20 years. We had to put a starting capacitor on that, what, two years ago. Now. I shut the propane off to the hot water heater. It's full. And. And I. In the sub panel. I set the power off to that because I don't want it to just run. It probably will freeze that pipe. It's above ground. But it wasn't frozen because the pressure tank was empty. And. And she took a shower. So it had just happened. Got to be the. Yeah, Yeah. I had to manually operate. And there's no spark at the. At the contact? No. My fluke is. My fluke's down at John's house. The best I could do is my little voltage detector. Well, I. I had that little junk yellow one up till about a week ago that. Since the DC didn't work in it, I put it in the trash compactor. I got very little problems with AC out in the camper, so I wasn't putting it back out there. I got an Amos out. I got an Amos out in the garage. I hope I didn't take that down to John's too. It's got the. Got the amperage loop. That would be the next thing to know. You can have voltage. If it ain't. If it ain't. The capping ain't firing the. Well, you're never going to see the amps. The pump. If it ain't firing the pump. That's when you get the good spark. It's when the. Well, when the pump starts. No J. The flukes down at John. So I had to do it a third time just for fun. All right. The number is 91162.

Speaker A: Yeah, I betcha. And I just heard. Let me see. Where. Where is it? I just seen it on the news yesterday. There's one that gets you through to some type of emergency place, but it's
Speaker B: 81 1. It all came back to me. Yeah, that was you that was telling me about it, not the news.

I remember that whole thing. It was kind of a joke thing, but it was not a joke. He was standing in front of the camera.

Speaker A: Heck. Yeah, we got. We got several up here that got mammoth channels just where the earth fell in. And there's 10 foot by 10 foot of water running right there. Once they go in there, that's it. They get hung up someplace along the way or whatever. And, you know, the water department's always checking the channels, mammoth channels or, you know, underwater tribs that are just below the surface. They're always testing that first human remains.
Speaker B: They don't care a whole lot about
Speaker A: animal, but, yeah, they collect enough human remains and then they can. They know who's underneath there with DNA, if they're. If they're in the system.

Speaker A: You know that last guy that came out for Lori's mom's. Well, Derek's or something, Dillard's. He came out and said, it's the starting cap. You got juice right there at the pressure switch. He goes, let's just put a new cap in there. You know, I got the ladder sticking out of that well. It's like 70ft or something like that down to the water. And then there's 20ft of water. It's hand dug well, four and a half, five feet across. I don't think I ever opened the lid on that for you. That's scary. But the pressure tank is down in the opening there. It's got. They cemented the first 20ft something and, and they're. They made a little ledge there for the pressure tank to sit on. So that's where the damn pressure switch is. And he said, I, I can't go down in that hole. He was bigger, bigger guy, you know, 300 pounds or something. And so I went down in there. He goes, just, just open that cover right there and, and flip that out. I'll go get another capacitor. And I couldn't get it to open. He goes, well, it's the way it plugs in. You got, you got to really pry on and put a screwdriver in there or something to get it started. And then the whole thing will just hinge open and, and the capacitor will come out in
Speaker B: the
Speaker A: lid. And he handed me the new one after I did that. And you just put it back in there and close the lid and the caps in it. It came
Speaker B: on immediately. They finally plowed
Speaker A: the main road coming in here and I went back and forth on the driveway. So you won't have any problem getting in here. But I don't worry about that. I'll. As soon as it gets a
Speaker B: little warmer, it starts
Speaker A: beating the sun on the ground a little bit. I'll go out there with that anus I got and I'll get Scott next door to take me down to. Oh, heck. He's got that deal going today. He goes down there to the hostess place and brings back all this giveaway stuff for the church where you guys got your antenna. Well, I'll make it down there sometime today, I'm pretty sure. True value down there on the Pearson in Clark. Yep, I'm sure they got those. Even if I gotta buy the whole box if I can't find it just a capacitor.

Yeah, it's probably about 4 inches wide. 3 inches wide. And that's Lori's mom's. I don't remember what was in there, but, you know, it was probably 50 cent piece size at least.

Speaker A: Get them. The relay is good. Guarantee you. What are they? Why they call it 4060?
Speaker B: Oh, yeah. I just jacked ours up, what, maybe three months ago. The shower wasn't feeling that good. It's working good now. I think I took it right there to 60.

Speaker A: Maybe I just took it to 50. I don't remember. Yeah, I had to put a pressure switch at the end of the. I mean, I had to put a pressure gauge at the end of the spigot. No, I never put one
Speaker B: in over there. There's a filter right there, though. I mean, you know. Best I could do is the garden hose that I. What is that? Here, I'll be back.

Speaker A: That was the ice machine. Didn't sound like the gear engaged all the way.
Speaker B: It's got a metal transmission, but it didn't sound like plastic. It quit working here a while back. I took it all apart. It was the part where the ice comes up and then that thing rotates and breaks it off right there. And then it just falls down into the bucket. Yeah. Then the ice melts, goes down into the little tank right there, and it refreezes it again. Weirdest ice machine.

It hasn't got over the trees yet. Oh, I see it out in the front yard a little bit. Yeah, that'll be good. Make it easier if I got a chisel around some ice. All right. Say hi to the fellas.
