2m Simplex (146.520 MHz) recordings for 2026-03-17

Right. 81 today up in Magalia. It's only 64 right now, though. Looks like the start of yet another Beautifully blue day. N6NTM Good morning.

I'm gonna run up to Red Bluff and drop the dodge off. Yeah me too. We'll be back up and back and I was looking for to see if there was better glasses I went to one site and they were called X106 Evolution Glasses. Oh expand Vision but it doesn't say HDLP on those ones 120% longer run time these ones last night even though it we started off with full charges didn't make it to the end of the movie so I don't, I don't while I can still take them back to Amazon. I don't know what to think about this Expand Vision the new improved SP X106 is because they have a whole different it says it covers all 3D stuff but it doesn't say the key words about the DLP link anyway and we got four chairs here so I probably should own four glasses so before I buy two more of what I got since I'm unhappy with the battery life Jay.

Speaker A: You cannot
Speaker B: because the charge cord plugs in between the lenses that right at your nose. I don't see anywhere where
Speaker A: this. Where they say this other one here. Anti theft tag. They don't tell you the price either. And I don't understand what it says. Frame rate frequency is 96 to 240 and the shutter frequency is 48 to 120. This is all new stuff to me.

Speaker A: Well, I'll be able to talk to you from the truck. I'm getting ready to jump in the truck. These are the first of the ones I looked up. I just googled what's the best ones. This is the first one I looked at Expand Vision,
Speaker B: And since they're not listing the price,
Speaker A: I'll bet you it's out of this world.

Cuz you come running back. N6 ntm where's that wip? We're already up here. We didn't take the truck. We dropped off the truck. Otherwise you'd have been hearing me all the way back. She took the Hellcat. I don't know how many highway patrol and police officers she outran. But we made it home. It's got it. They got to be the worst watched car ever from all those Charger back east. And almost 95% colored people trying to get away from the cops in them. And they just don't drive good enough. The car can do it just. They're too powerful for a beginner. But anyway, yeah, we. We didn't just go up there then. Then we continued on up. We came back to Red Bluff which is only one exit away. But I thought that Camping World place was just around the corner when you leave Red Bluff. But it ain't. It's clean up in Anderson. So we went up there anyway and I got one of those deals you put on the water faucet. A regulator adjustable from 1 from 1 pound to 60 I think. But anyway, it's got a nice gauge on it. 33 bucks. And I wanted to get one of those things you can spray out the hole inside of the black tank from the drain. You know, it's that corner, it's the elbow, clear elbow that has a shut off valve on it. And then it's got a sealed place where you can slide that hose in straight in and. And it, it's. It spins and makes. Makes the whole circle. So you can do the roof of the black water tank and the sides and the bottom all at the same time. Yeah, it doesn't do the roof. Cool. Well, that's the reason why it's so clean. Oh well, I didn't get it. I wanted to get it. I got another water filter came with a little short hose for the regulator. With the regulator. So that I wouldn't mind having a 90 degree though so that you're not hanging the hose or bending the hose coming off the inlet. What else do we get? I got those little banana shaped things that you back up on. Goes from a half inch up to 4 inches the height. And eventually someday I need to back up on some stuff and see how high one of the wheels has to be off the ground until the other wheels off the ground. You ever try that?

Speaker A: Yeah, I filled it up a couple times. I just didn't recognize it. Yeah, when I went out to John, she had the regulator on that end. His regulator, he had a big old gargantuous one. I got a neat looking one. Doesn't take up much space and doesn't weigh anything, but. And then I don't. How old is your
Speaker B: dump hose. Anyway? I, I, the one that
Speaker A: John had was the best one I ever saw, really. And then I seen a couple of things. You got four of them. They make a bridge from the bottom of your trailer over to wherever your dump is. So you can make, make a bridge in case they got a curb or anything in the way. So it's downhill all the way. I would have liked to add that, but I didn't get that. I didn't get the one that you drive up on one of the tires and it lifts the other one off the ground. Because I want to see if that works with your kind of suspension. They had a lot of neat stuff. We got a, we got a bag. I did get the other water filter though, and the regulator and the little things you back up on. And then for $37 or something, you get 10, 10 cents off every gallon of gas you buy if you become a member of that camper world. And you get $10 off every national park or something that you go into, which mine are free anyway, but. And you get 10 automatic 10% off at any of the camping worlds you go into. And they give us $10 off right away and a big old phone book looking thing with all the places that have camper worlds and all that kind of information. Yeah. So we had a little bit of fun. Spent $200 there. We'll get that back after a year of roaming around now.

Speaker A: They fix it. But not entirely free. Huh? What it was. That was the $89 deal. That'd be cool. I
Speaker B: mean, they had a whole selection of washer and dryers that fit in most RVs. But the bigger ones. But the bigger ones, we're not going to. We're not going to do that. But I could probably make room for at least a washing machine and hang stuff out. I wouldn't mind having one of those little washing machines, you know, at the. At the kitchen table area.

Yeah. Now, wouldn't be too bad, but I. I just don't picture you. You're washing your clothes, and somebody else's washes their clothes, you know? You know, that's like loaning your comforter out.

I seen a T shirt today. It wasn't at Camping World. It was on one of them programs on keep your day dream style program. That said, just because I'm wandering around doesn't mean I'm lost.

Speaker A: So none of them. None of them have any used rims that for sale and you know why they sell used rim and somebody gets a blowout they're screwed. And they they want like 250 or more for for a new one So I guess I'm just gonna wait around unless we find some on marketplace or something. Who knows I'll just wait oh I'll go get a can of that chrome looking paint that'll look even dorkier
Speaker B: than white. I don't see a
Speaker A: place for hubcaps
Speaker B: huh.
Speaker A: And and they're not applin wheels so alpen wheel so huh. Yeah let me know I could
Speaker B: probably live with. Remember when
Speaker A: Lucy Ricardo they were touring around in that one that was like 40ft long way way back in the day Black and white show I love Lucy no
Speaker B: that was a camper. That had
Speaker A: to be every bit of 35 or 40ft and yep you know damn well the frame had to be heavy to be that long and I'm pretty sure as I remember it was only a two axle.

Speaker A: Check. Trevor says that all your files on the synology are compressed and it takes a bunch of bandwidth to watch them.
Speaker B: You don't think it'll work? Cool. And all his aren't
Speaker A: compressed, huh? So he's using up a bunch of hard drive space, huh?

I know which one you use. You use the new Scum compression and discard.

Speaker A: Well, I. I'm gonna run outside and take the plastic bags off the swamp cooler. Looks like we're getting close
Speaker B: to using it. That's what I was going to tell
Speaker A: you. Yeah, that's awesome. If it's too late in the day for you, don't sweat it. And if you feel
Speaker B: like it, you're welcome. Oh, yeah. If you were bringing
Speaker A: Blake, I could understand. But you're always welcome. You can break. You can bring Blake, too, whenever you want. He's welcome, too, but he's got to stay outside.

Speaker A: And then you put something bigger in between the slot. It's got to move everything
Speaker B: else down a little bit. Yeah, that doesn't sound good. They did something
Speaker A: at one of the modern libraries. They're all on a long track roller or something, so as they get more books, then there isn't any room, you know, between S and T, for instance. It just makes the whole line longer. Yeah, it's
Speaker B: pretty, pretty cool. Seems like
Speaker A: I remember you saying something using that term. Maybe it was you telling me that
Speaker B: when I drive. All right. Oh,
Speaker A: yeah. Hey, you put one of them swimming pool tablets in there and I don't do any of that stuff. No, nothing. Legionnaires disease. How much does that cost? Mmm. Yeah, well, we don't want to waste any of the water that goes out, the overflow, so we just. We just run that into the faucet for washing dishes.

Yeah, Mine's not on the roof anyway. And how I do it out in the garage. But I'm taking that system down as I set the swamp cooler right on that 55 gallon drum, the plastic kind, and I just let it overrun. Then I put a second pump. A second pump out of the bottom of the barrel that pumps up to the top of the swamp cooler, see? Yeah, that works out real good. That way you got some temperature capacity. Yeah. And works good in the garage. But the swamp cooler don't work good in the garage because it, you know, it needs to be outside. I just can't bring myself to cut a hole in the back of the garage. But I was telling Scott the other day that that's the only way it's going to work good. So I guess I'm cutting it probably this year.

Speaker A: Ice don't last long enough. We tried it, the 55 gallon drum underneath the trailer when we lived over in Forest Ranch. That worked fine because it was under the trailer where it stayed cooler longer in the morning than outside. And then that would carry over until most of the afternoon before that barrel warmed up. If you just had a few barrels, it probably last all day. All right,
Speaker B: I'm going to clean it. N6NTM See you, Blake. And 6 ntm.

Speaker A: N6wip kn6mgk. N6wip kn6mgk on 52. Okay to check your email to see if you got that back. I sent it back to you just now.
Speaker B: Yeah, not the
Speaker A: tuner, I think.
Speaker B: Anyway. Yeah, so LibreOffice opens up that file. No problem. Anyway, on my Linux. But you know, LibreOffice is like. I put it on my wife's when the Microsoft stuff ran out, I just put it on that and she's been using that ever since. And she's using it right now in LibreOffice. So it work on Microsoft systems too.

Speaker A: Okay, yeah. So, yeah, because if you have no program on your computer at all, you have an old Microsoft Windows, you know, it's going to say that of course, because you don't have current whatever registered copy, whatever they call current. But yeah, if you have another program like LibreOffice that you install on your computer instead of Microsoft Office, it has all that stuff, right. Just like you want. You don't, you know, your get rid of publisher. Well, LibreOffice has their version of the same thing, right. So, I mean, people are getting stuck just because, you know, you had it forever or whatever. You know what I mean? But yeah, there's alternatives out there. I'm just suggesting one. There's many alternatives, I'm sure. You don't have to have Microsoft Office. Haven't had to have it
Speaker B: 10 years, at least. Black. What's that mean? I don't know. I'm just looking at a spreadsheet. So
Speaker A: everything's white with black letters. So maybe that has something to do with the color scheme or something like that. I don't know. Take a picture of it on my, on my computer and I'll just text that to you.
Speaker B: I know there's
Speaker A: pictures when I do that, but.
