Speaker A: funny bit about Dad is great, gives us chocolate cake. It has flour, it has milk, it has eggs. What's wrong with that for breakfast? Sounds like a great breakfast to me. Well, uh, and if— can't eat the cookies because our grandson was here, is here, and the cookies are gone.
Speaker B: All right, okay, you have a great day then. KB7DSP, Clark.
Speaker A: You too, Ken. Okay, I am going to say this has been the Coffee Break Net. The Coffee Break Net is sponsored by the Sierra Foothills Amateur Radio Club on the W6EK repeater, which is located in Auburn, California, where the sun is always shining, the birds are singing, and the fish are jumping. And that's definitely true today. Everyone have a lovely day. This is WA6EWF saying bye-bye.

Speaker A: WU6H, Eureka.
Speaker B: W6H, K6IJ, you are in Eureka or did you find gold?
Speaker A: Um, I'm in Eureka. There's absolutely no gold here in Eureka, just a lot of, uh, impoverished folks, people that are like 2, 3 deep on street corners. I mean, we thought it was bad in Sacramento. Oh my gosh.
Speaker B: Yeah, that's what I heard. Uh, the outlining states are getting bad. So how you doing today, my brother?
Speaker A: Doing all right. Last month when I came up here, it was there was snow on the ground and it was actively snowing. So I had to wait for the snow to melt just because of the icy roads. And last night coming in, oh, it was so foggy. You could barely see your hand out from in front of you, right? I'm like, "Aww, I miss that weather." But this morning, clear as a bell. Beautiful sunshine, not a cloud in the sky.
Speaker B: Yeah, we're kind of in trouble. I don't know if you watch the news, but last night we're watching all the ski resorts and it's like, oh, we're going to try to hold off for another month. You can see dirt on the hill. It's like, dude, there is no more snow up there. It's, it's, it's a weird— well, what is it? Tomorrow's the end of winter.
Speaker A: Yeah, that's nuts. Hopefully you have some like backup skis and don't bring your good ones if you're gonna ski down that trail. It's like, I went to Hawaii, played a couple rounds of golf. Once I actually took my clubs, but it just became such a pain in the butt, I might as well just rent some when I get there, right? So I rented this pair. They were brand new. Just all the grooves were perfect. Polished. It's like they had just taken the wrapper off of it, thrown it in the bag, and a guy goes, "Here you go, here's your clubs." So, hit a few errant, couple errant balls, you know, 'cause we're on vacation, right? And I'm like, "I can totally hit out of this." Well, it was over, it's not rough, but it's the lava rocks, the total lava that's out there, and the ball's sitting up on it. I said, "I can hit that." So, you know, get my wedge out and— whoosh! The bottom of the club just scrapes front to back. I'm like, "Oh man!" I take a towel, rub it out. Uh-uh. I totally destroyed that club. When you talk about skis on mud and stuff, that's the memory that comes to mind. Anyway, I just gave it back to him and he goes, "Thanks!" He didn't even look at the clubs. Whew!
Speaker B: Oh man, remind me not to let you borrow my car.
Speaker A: Oh my God. What do you mean that dent? That dent was already there.
Speaker B: This is true. Hey, be careful. I gotta step away for a minute. I got some company that just showed up. Be safe out there, like the cops say. I, I care for you, my man. K6I7-3.
Speaker A: I know you do, Larr Bear. I appreciate it. Me as well. 73, my guy. WU6H.
