Okay. I picked you, wj.

Speaker A: Fly Mobile here in Reno, Nevada. System 21 late off.
Speaker B: Okay, i6VWJ. I heard that station there in Reno. How's the prognosis with this snow.
Speaker A: Static here? So I wasn't getting your false time. This is Timo Juliet 6, you know, and all day long it's been a 5050 mix of rain and slush. So they say that by 3am tomorrow we should be getting something that actually no kidding, looks built like snow but it's cold. It's been freezing cold all night.
Speaker B: Thanks for the comeback, Dave. Kilo India 6 Victor Whiskey Juliet here just not too far from you in Auburn, California and we're getting lots and lots of rain. No snow, no snow here projecting maybe update with Colfax on Thursday. So that tracks.
Speaker A: You and I are both looking at different sides of the mountain. The TV news stations have been centering around the chain controls and things like that. So I think you and I both know that it's usually a mess up there on top and I don't know why anybody would want to go over the path now unless it was absolutely eventual. It's okay to get out and about here, it's wet but I wouldn't, you know, it's not a good day to get out and hike or do anything outdoors.
Speaker B: Affirmative. Yeah. A week ago and the day we were headed back from South Lake we had gone up Wednesday and Thursday, stayed at the GSR there in Reno and then drove over to South Lake. My wife and I celebrating 44 years.
Speaker A: Those are a lot of years and to be able to make it this far. Obviously this works well for you. I congratulate you sir. My wife and I are 22, 23 and yeah, we both fly together and it's not a gasp. I gotta jump out of the truck here. I'm sorry. Every time I get on the radio I have to get off the radio but I'm sitting here in my Chevrolet Silverado with a. What is this thing? It's a YAESU dual band and I've got it on a normal mount and the coffee cup and so it's very handy and I'm able to read it. Well the diamond antenna is. Sound is on the forward driver side fender there and that is you or anybody else. Again, the name is Dave here in the call is kilo Juliet 69 o'. Clock.
Speaker B: Okay, Day six US EJF or something.
Speaker A: I didn't quite catch the last part but.
Speaker B: Dave, thanks again for the cubicle. Allen here Ki6BWJ on a Yaesu dual band in my Ford Explorer with a diamond magnetic mount right in the center
Speaker A: of the top and headed over to help my father in law. You have A great day, sir. 73, Sir. And let's. Let's just sit back and have a cup of coffee and see what the next couple days breaks in.

Speaker A: Hello, Ralph, this is JK7DVI. How you doing? Just hitting all fours or did you work today?
Speaker B: Hey, Ken. No, I'm just leaving the er. My mom's back in the hospital. She had another. Another bad fall today and I went up there and of course she told the ambulance she didn't want to go to the hospital. By the time I got up there, they were already gone. So I called them back. So just got her set up in a room and got her resting. So I'm heading back to the house.
Speaker A: Well, that don't sound good. Is it bad enough that you had to go to the hospital or didn't
Speaker B: feel like it was. No, it's.
Speaker A: It's.
Speaker B: It's really bad. So anyway, she just take headaches? Didn't think it was fine, but yeah, she's. They're trying to get her stabilized but they're not sure if they're gonna be able to do it, so we'll see.
Speaker A: Too bad, Ralph. I hate to hear that. I know when you get old, start falling down, that ain't good. Usually they break something that don't heal back very good.
Speaker B: Yeah, like I. But it's all related back to her heart failure. Now she's in kidney failure. So anyways. And we're starting to get a little bit of rain here. That stuff from the People's Republic of Cali has finally pushed far enough east. Mountains are big time. Stockton start getting bit of rain here in the valley now.
Speaker A: That's good. We sure need all the rain we can get. The moisture we can get from this year, we sure haven't had any up here is the same way. It's supposed to start raining good at 6 o', clock, but I'm down in the basement. I can't hear or see it if it is. Winds here been blowing hard up here.
Speaker B: Yeah, it's. I mean I've been inside all day. I just get going. But yeah, it looks like it's. Yeah, I've seen a flag at one of those gas stations. It's pretty much horizontal, so. Yeah, it looks like it's kind of breezy here too. And I just checked telemetry on the mountaintop I'm talking into with 25 up there. So I guess we're getting some snow, so I guess that's all good anyways. What you been doing today,
Speaker A: Honey? Dude. Doing what? Errands. My wife wants. She had a full leak in her tire. I had to take it out and get it fixed, but just staying in out of the wind mostly.
Speaker B: Yeah. I picked up a screw in one of my tires a while ago. It was like a really. A really slow leak. It was like maybe a pound or so a day. And anyways, got that taken care of. Good old discount tire companies. That's usually where I get all my tires at. But they always replace. I'm sorry. They always fix flat for free. So they always good about that.
Speaker A: That's exactly what hers was. It was just a real small screw and it just leaking, you know, a pound here and there and. But I didn't get it for free. They wanted $25 to fix that fly. Oh, wow.
Speaker B: Yeah, Discount tires. Known for that. I remember a long time ago, I used to go to Big O tires. I stopped going with those guys. I had a really bad experience. But anyways, I got a flat car and what am I gonna do? So I went down a discount tire and I said, hey, I didn't buy these tires here. Well, you know, I got flat. He goes, we don't care where you buy them from. We always pick flats for free. And he goes, our business model is. I figure, you know, if we take care of you, you'll remember that and you'll be a customer. And I've been a customer of theirs ever since.
Speaker A: Yeah, they're right by that. I quite believer of that. I know a lot of. When I was younger and working at stations, we used to fix them a lot of times for free and then. And they had that idea there that you fixed them for three, they would come back and use your service. And they sure did. A lot of them sure did.
Speaker B: Okay, switch to a different repeater here. The other one was getting choppy. Yeah, no, like I said, it worked. It worked for me. So tell you what, I'm gonna put down the microphone, man. I'm in the middle of rush hour here and starting to rain. People are driving crazy. So I'll get out of here. Good to talk to you, Ken. Thanks for the shout. N17D Las Vegas.

W. It.

Speaker A: Somebody mobile check your mic. Somebody mobile, please check the microphone. Get off of it. Wd6axa,
Speaker B: this is KN6WX. Oh, hi, Guy. How's it going? Pretty good, Dave. How are you doing? I haven't talked to you in a while. Yeah, it's been a while. It's been quite a bit. Been busy. How about you? I've been busy. You know, I've got two jobs I'm doing and family to take care of and all kinds of fun stuff. But hey, you know, I'm surprised to hear you're busy because you should be retired now. There's always stuff to do, trust me. So, in fact, I got to get back to it at dinner here, but we'll catch you a little bit later on. So, WD6AXM, it's good to hear your voice again and thank you for the comeback.

Speaker A: 7 kju on state line, nevada.
Speaker B: Come back again. Where was that at in Nevada
Speaker A: state line. Name is Matthew. I just had the wrong setting on my radio here. I tried to come right back to you there and heard you from Las Vegas. Pretty nice connection. And I think the one the unit I'm getting into is up off Echo summit. Where Highway 50 comes into Lake Tahoe. Go ahead. Am I making it?
Speaker B: We have down here in the Spring mountains. Received about 5 inches of snow today from the first wave that's come through. How are you folks doing with the weather?
Speaker A: I got about an inch and a half on my top of my hot tub here. I'm at 6464. A little over 64. Yeah. 64, 52 elevation. Very nice.
Speaker B: Are you expecting more to be coming through? We're expecting another 14 inches. Tomorrow night.
Speaker A: We're going to get probably another foot. Foot is expected Tuesday about foot. I've got to drive to Reno from Lake Tahoe Wednesday. I'm only supposed to about an inch or two on that day. So that's probably good. But yeah, we need the moist.
Speaker B: That is true. We do need the moisture. Are you in a place where you don't have to get out tomorrow or anything like that. So you can just stay hunkered down? We definitely are.
Speaker A: Look at that.
Speaker B: I missed that last transmission. Are you able to stay where you're at so you don't have to go anywhere tomorrow so you can enjoy being snowed in?
Speaker A: Got out of the Navy in spring of 65. Came up to trial in 1965. I've been out there for quite a few years. And I've been a ham for about 72 years. So I'm getting used to it a little bit.
Speaker B: Well, I'm very much a noob, comparably speaking. I've only had my ham ticket for a couple of years now. But it's been very nice chatting with you there. For me here at 8500, I'm using the repeater on Angel Peak. That it connects to the California repeater system.
Speaker A: Which is where right after chit chatting with you there. I don't know, something came up and came on and took you out.
Speaker B: I'll transmit again. I don't know if you received that, but I got my ham ticket two years ago. But the repeater I'm using here from the mountain is on Angel Peak. Which connects to the CARLA system in California. Which I believe is what we are talking on.
Speaker A: Yeah, it is the Carlos system. It's a pretty, pretty nice system.
Speaker B: Well, enjoy your hot tub. Good getting a chance to meet you again. My name is Jimmy over here, and My sign is KK7QPS. That's Kilo. Kilo 7, Quebec. Papa.
Speaker A: Sierra. Sierra, nice talking with you. You take care and be safe here. I got a good friend of mine that lives down there in Las Vegas. So, anyway, 73s and the.

Speaker A: Hi, good morning mates. Welcome to the coffee breaknet on the W6ek repeater located in Auburn, California. The coffee break Net, where the sun is always shinin', the birds are singin' and the fish are jumpin'. This net is sponsored by the Sierra Foothills Amateur Radio Club in Northern California. We're here every day of the week from 7:30 to 10:00 Pacific Time. Please welcome your net control host and conversation facilitator for today's Coffee break net, Brian AI6 us checking in from beautiful Meadow Vista, California. Let's get the coffee breaknet underway. Good morning everybody.
Speaker B: Hey, Good morning. Brian AI6 us here. What an interesting start to the morning. We're just waiting for the local RF connection backup system to come online and so I had to put out a couple of couple of alerts to people and switch the system over. Yes, indeed, we are having a couple technical difficulties that are random and so we're trying to track it down. Appreciate everybody's patience while we do this. Good morning. Today is Tuesday and it is March 17, 2025, 2026. Let's go ahead and check out what the national days are. Today is National Public Science Day. Today is National Cabbage Day. Cabbage. One of my, you know, sometimes it's really delicious just to cut a slab out, steam it up and slather it with butter and salt and pepper. But you know, my favorite way is St. Patty's Day served up with a little bit of maybe even a non St. Patty's Day with a little roast beef. Let's see, today is Faschnacht Day. Delicious pastry Origins of Germany. And today is Random act of Kindness day. You know, maybe today is where you just see a neighbor who needs some help or maybe pick up the tab on somebody's coffee that's not as cheap as it used to be, is it? Good morning.
Speaker C: Let's see.
Speaker B: I'm not sure if the RF system is up yet. Let me check it and then we'll start with some check ins standby. All right, looks like the RF system is up. So system right now. So just kind of a heads up to everybody. The RF system into the W6EK repeater is on backup right now. We are not on the voter system. Hey, good morning. Let's go ahead and take regular check ins quick in and out check ins this morning. And let's start with, let's go ahead and start with Internet and then we'll take RF after that. Good morning.
Speaker D: Coffee.
Speaker B: Quick in and outs.

Good morning, Frank.
Speaker E: Good morning, Brian. And that hopefully I'm making it out. I'll keep it under the eight timer limit for you, Brian, because that's how quick I'm gonna be this morning. Hope the repeater gets all resolved. And you're not the only one with issues this morning. I got a text here a few minutes ago from my watcher of the live stream control saying that the Internet side is a little bit funky at home with the All Star connect and the YouTube. Apparently YouTube's drone fits too. So it's just your casual Taco Tuesday here on the Coffee Break Net, Brian. Other than that, not much else going on. Oh, did I mention we're live on the YouTubes? Yeah, there you go. And then Thursday North House swap and Friday with Fridays with Frank. There you go, Brian. That's about all I have for you. I'm about to head to bed and dream sweet, sweet dreams. Hopefully AI6US in the coffee break net. Good morning, KG6NL.
Speaker B: All right, Frank. Yes. Checked out your last evening and yeah, very, very good. Very good presentation. Quite a visual dashboard. So very, very interesting. Well done. So, yep, hopefully we'll get. We'll get a lot of the bugs out of the systems and really appreciate everything you're doing. You have a wonderful day. Thanks for checking in this morning, Frank.KG6NLWI6US73
Speaker E: Just to give you an idea there, Brian, he dropped out for me about three different times through that one transmission. And I'm on a decent lifeline network, you know, Starbucks is nice. Anyway, have a good day. KG6NLW player.
Speaker B: All right, we may issue. Yeah, I'm seeing that standby. Thank you. Okay. Yeah, Frank, if you could give me some feedback. If I go in directly through All Star, am I having the same dropout?
Speaker F: Negative.
Speaker E: Solid copy on the All Star side. You know, all start All Star. You're fine. It's RF coming back in that's dropping out on you.
Speaker G: KK 6am
Speaker B: everything is being ingested through. Yeah, I'm seeing some drops even coming into the RF here. All right, thank you very much, Frank. We'll. We'll go with. See what we can do here. And I'm sure that Doug and Tom are monitoring what's going on here. Might be an Internet issue in the vault. Good morning. Let's see. KN6WQU. Good morning, Dan. What do you have for the net this morning?
Speaker C: Good morning, Brian. It is wet, wet, wet, wet outside. This is a day that I do not. Do not want to be outside. This is KN6W key. I'm debating if I'm going to go to work today. Yesterday I threw on a rain suit and tread through it a little bit. Made a little bit better than none at all. I guess today when the rain comes down sideways, it just makes a complete mess out of everything. Before you know it, you're soaking wet and then you get soaking and you're
Speaker B: down for a week.
Speaker C: So that's the kind that you just stay home and just enjoy the nice raindrops hitting the rooftop there. Anyway, that's all I got. This is kn6wt
Speaker B: something how rain will modify our activities. Well, you have a wonderful day there, Dan, and thanks for checking in. Always. Pleasure to have you drop by in the mornings. KN6WQU.ai6US Coffee Breakdown and good morning, Mark. KC8F QV what do you have for the net this morning?
Speaker F: All right. Yep.
Speaker B: Good morning.
Speaker F: Case qb yeah. When you first came saying, well, we have. You know, when you were keying up, it almost sounded like something over on the Internet that someone was. Had two things connected to the same connection and they were creating loop out there. I know that happens. You know, someone disconnects from one thing, they connect to another thing and they don't disconnect what they were connected to. But yeah, we got. We're pretty decent out today. Outside the sun's out. Most all the snow's gone already. Well, I was going to just ask you what Frank's call was. KG 6:00am or I am. I just didn't catch it quick enough. But anyway, I was going good. Yeah, I listened to the net last night over there on the mode net and we have issues sometimes we have a couple of repeaters that are here locally and issue sometimes, you know, because home. Sometimes they borrow someone's services. You know, they. Because we don't really need a lot of bandwidth and some of Them connections that they get into the sites now they got enough bandwidth to piggyback on sometimes but we'll send it back to Net. But yeah, I was just curious what Frank said so I could go and look at his site and go get into the YouTube deal and just see all the stuff he just talked about. Case C8FQV back to net control.
Speaker B: Yes, Frank's call signed as Kilo Golf 6 November Lima Whiskey and yeah K KG6L. Excuse me. KG6NLW.
Speaker D: All right.
Speaker B: Well Mark, you have a wonderful day. Yeah, I'm starting to get some reports back here that this doesn't seem to be just our system. I'm kind of bypassing a lot of infrastructure right now using Starlink and so. Yeah, but seems like maybe AT and T is having a system issue as being reported by others. So we'll find out. You have a wonderful day there, Frank. Excuse me Mark. And thanks for checking in this morning. We'll catch you another time. 7.
Speaker E: Comment.
Speaker B: Yeah, Frank, yeah, go ahead with your comment. I'd love to work through this list.
Speaker E: Yeah, last comment. Don't worry, I'm going to bed after this. That makes sense because I'm on at&t. Good night, Brian.
Speaker B: All right. Yes, looks like a couple reports of AT and T. So yeah, we'll, we'll dig into this more. You have a great day. Thanks, Frank. Good morning, Carl. Ckv.
Speaker H: Good morning Brian and everyone else out there. Hope I'm making it. Yeah, I just got to do a little bit more on my taxes and I've got Smud coming to change the meters.
Speaker B: I don't know why they want to
Speaker H: do it but they want to change the meters. So I'm going to be out of
Speaker B: power for a little bit.
Speaker H: Other than that we're going to have a wet day. Thanks for that, Brian.
Speaker B: All right, Carl. Yeah, I was thinking that they had come out a few weeks ago. Maybe that appointment got pushed forward on you. Well, let's hope that this doesn't bigger issues for you and the meter change out goes well. Good morning to you and good morning to Ruth. Have an absolutely wonderful day ahead. It looks like it's going to be a wet one.
Speaker H: Okay, 73 everyone have a good Tuesday. Mzckv
Speaker B: good morning, carl. You have a great day. Good morning, will. Kj5 car golf whiskey november. Kj 5 golf whiskey november. Are you there, will?
Speaker D: Yes, I am and I got some results on my meal prep. My meal prep are going to be express shipped to me by Thursday so I should have some meals On Thursday there Brian. Keep this one short and sweet. I got a doctor's appointment in 30 minutes so this is KJ5 Golf Whiskey. Back to you.
Speaker B: Well good. I'm glad that they're acting on those missing on wheel shipment and this whole thing. I sure learned a lot about how meals and wheels are delivered in parts of the country. Had no idea that FedEx and the UPS would be involved in that process. Hey, have a wonderful day. Thanks for dropping in this morning Will and good luck at your doctor's appointment. KJ5 Golf Whiskey November AIC and let's check in with Ray Kkam. Good morning Ray.
Speaker G: Good morning. I've got another data for you maybe. I was kind of waiting. RF stations come along. How am I getting in?
Speaker E: Right now
Speaker B: you're having some drops that we're observing drops at and T. It's pretty much across the country right now so we're trying to narrow it down. Okay.
Speaker G: Because I noticed this must be coincidence you dropped when the wind gusts came through here. So maybe another point of some useless information.
Speaker B: I'm sorry, we. We dropped what? When did you say when the wind came through Heavy this morning.
Speaker G: Continues to have guests at the moment.
Speaker B: Ah, understood. Yeah, you're. You're dropping in and out as well. So yeah I think we're yeah. Might be related at and team. Of course we're on fire fiber in the vault but I know that Patrick are trying to see if they can do some ping tests and that sort of thing to kind of narrow down if there's anything on our end. Well good morning to you there Ray. Anything else for us this morning?
Speaker G: But like I said, I noticed when you dropped was when the bigger guest came through. So anyway, 73kk 6am
Speaker B: alrighty. Yeah I am going direct into All Star right now. Yeah I am seeing quite a bit of RF variation indicating there is one heck of a windstorm going on. You have a wonderful day Ray. Thanks for the point. Good morning Robert. KO6KMR
Speaker I: Good morning Brian. Sorry about all the problems with the
Speaker B: equipment but
Speaker I: things do happen otherwise I'm going to be studying up, doing a little refresher on the extra class that's tonight so looking forward to that. And then this weekend we're going to have an on site meeting so haven't got the details on that yet but I'm sure that'll be coming and looking forward to that. Otherwise probably head to the gym at some point today and try to stay out of the rain.
Speaker B: Over. Yes, I do know that the extra class is having a lab session, getting out in the field and setting up a portable system at a local park. And that's on Saturday. I think you said Sunday, but I typically have it on Saturday. Maybe it was moved this, this, this time. But I do know that they are also looking for Elmer's to help out. So hopefully some more information comes out.
Speaker I: Gotcha. Yeah, it's Saturday. I may have said Sunday, but it is Saturday and haven't got all the information yet as to locations particularly yet. But I'm sure that's coming over
Speaker B: okay. Yeah, that's kind of so excellent. Yeah, I know that it's a very good lab session for each one of them. It doesn't matter which class that they're taking. They offer several labs for each one of the classes and I know it's very, very well attended and quite a bit of fun. So something to look forward to. Well, you have a wonderful day today, Robert, and thanks for checking in. Yes, sir, you too.
Speaker I: And on that, I'm going to turn it back over to the vet. Kilohasker, six kilo Mike Romeo. And I'm just probably going to drink my coffee and listen from now on over.
Speaker B: All right, Robert? Yeah. I'm not sure, you know how long.

D.

I would say we are officially snowing in 6 mtm.

Speaker A: I finally got through to them people on the screen. They said between 9:30 and 3. I said, well, make me first. We're supposed to be snowing, but it won't stick. So I think it will, though, because the deck still got ice on it from earlier this morning at
Speaker B: 4:30 or whatever. He said they had a facility up here. I don't believe them. Lori took the truck.
Speaker A: So I can't even go down and get it if they call back saying
Speaker C: it's snowing.
Speaker A: I know. And all you guys got is a little
Speaker B: Fiat Brat? I don't think so.
Speaker A: Well, you don't have a G icon, but that's awful cold air for a long way up there in the sky. Almost 2,000 miles. That's a lot of coal there.
Speaker B: Russia is doing it. Mine says 34. Just meant a 35.

Speaker A: We're going to be staying around today. We are having some fairly significant issues here with the Internet and right now we're kind of bypassing the whole rf. But yeah, you're making it in this morning and really glad that you stopped by. You have a wonderful one. K06KMR AI6US73. Good morning Northern California getting swept by some storms. I don't think it's related but seems like the. Well it might be. The Internet has taken some wonky turns today being reported. It's kind of a regional thing it seems like. So we'll find out more. Good morning, I'm Brian AI62 beautiful Meadow Vista, California where the trees tops our and it is just a wild weather morning. Let's go ahead and take another round of quick in and outs as you start your day. Just a reminder we are on a backup receiver for our repeater system so local RF stations you may need to use a little bit more power to get in this morning. So let's see who's out there. One more round of quick in and outs as we start our morning. Welcome to the Coffee breaknet Mike.
Speaker B: W8lbt k6tcl morning

Good morning Greg Ko6th Good morning Anna KD3 Good morning Larry K06I Jay Good morning Jimmy N6fMD Good morning to Dave K6DCL and good morning to Tim W8LDT and let's see, starting us off there, would somebody start ending with the letter M? That's all we got on your check in Mike. Okay, there is a local RF station trying to get in but you might try it one more time. We did not catch that. All right, we will go with the list as we have it here. So starting off with Tim W L dt Good morning. Good morning Brian. Hopefully I'm making it into your into your repeater. Just wanted to jump in here and say good morning. I'm on my way to my normal lunch and I wanted to jump in and say hello. I'm glad you stopped by this morning and took a little time out of your day. So let's see if you are in Michigan. So are you getting blessed with a little break from this winter weather or how is your conditions back there? I think we reached up to about 60 yesterday or 55 or 60. Right now it's 46 blue skies, see too much sun, but definitely got blue skies and partly cloudy. So definitely enjoying the weather out here right now. Yeah, we know that yesterday Illinois, Chicago area was going to possibly break some records. Sounded like you guys actually have a nice little respite from the winter weather, but I'm sure it's going to return. Well, you have a safe outing there. Have an enjoyable early lunch or late breakfast or brunch. I'm not sure what you're headed to right now, but you guys have a wonderful day. Well YouTube, glad you're out here this morning even with all your. I'm getting a lot of dropping in and out so But I can copy most of it. So with that I will send it back to you and I will clear and sit back and listen ai6us w8ldt. I'll be clear seven three all right, very good. Thanks for checking in this morning Tim. I'm going to do before I move down the list, Patrick or Tom are either one of you on frequency just for a quick consult. Yeah:nn6h yeah, good morning. I am having excessive packet loss off the system. I'm just wondering if we might want to just do a quick asterisk. I didn't want to do it and disrupt anything you and Patrick are working on but I was just wondering if we should do a quick reboot on asterisk. We can be on the. We can do a reboot on the domain node. Yes, I had to log into it. Okay. Yes, I can, I can go ahead and take care of it right here but I just didn't want to do anything that is going to disrupt you. So at the end of this list of check ins I'm going to go ahead and I'll just cycle the server. Okay. Right now looking at the boater server right now. So you go ahead and do that to the master if you want and then fixation. All right. Thank you very much and appreciate what you and Patrick are doing behind the scenes right now. Morning everyone. Just kind of an update. We're having some issues we're not sure a wider area Internet issue because we seem to be having a lot of pack buffs both on RF and it's taken out our voter system as well. So just kind of appreciate your patience. Let's see, moving down the list, quick in and outs here. K6DCL Good morning Dave.
Speaker B: Hey, good morning Brian. Good to hear you. Happy Tuesday. Happy it's not raining as much if at all right now down here in Jamestown I think we had two and A half inches yesterday, midnight to midnight. So we had a good amount of rain and I think we had more than than Valley Springs had where my son lives. So other than that, the repeaters scan that we scan for police and fire. Very active today. So I want to say have a great day. Have a great, great day. We'll talk to you tomorrow. We'll make this1 short.k67 3.
Speaker A: Oh, it's great to have you check in and say good morning. Yeah, looks like so far since 10 o' clock the night before, we are up to five and a half inches of rain so far. Just crazy, crazy amount of rain. Well, you have a wonderful day ahead and please, please pass our best on to Lucy and yeah, you guys stay on the dry side of the door and hopefully that's indoors. Seven, three, Dave. And let's move down the list. Up next will be Jimmy in FMD for quick in and out. Good morning. I don't know if you're transmitting, but I think we're having. Whatever the issues that are going on, you're not able to get in. One more quick transmission. See if you're making it now. Jimmy in 6FMD. AI62s coffee breaknet. All right, nothing heard. Let's just see if Larry is able to get into the system. K06IHJ. Good morning, Larry. Good morning, Brian. Morning. Cos braid neck. Can you hear me? Young? We can copy you there. K06IHJ. Go ahead. Good morning. Good morning, Brian. Good morning. Coffee breakneck. KO6ISJ. I'll be a real quick here because it's gonna be resetting. It's raining. Hope everybody got everything stuffed around covered up and dry because it's coming down. I'm gonna stand the inside of the dry side of the door today and work on that hidden reamplifier and a couple other projects other than that. It's just going to be a hammy day. I'm going to send it back to you, Brian, so we can get to this list quick. Thank you for running that and having the patience and doing what you do. K06IH73 Before I let you go is the status I know on that Henry 2K floor model. Beautiful. By the way, somebody appears to have taken good cosmetic care of it. But are you figuring out what the issue is? Is it a bad amp meter or something else? Now I have the proper schematic and I can run down things. It's a common issue on a switch. So I got to figure out why the one switch does the multi function meter and the guest trio where it's getting its power for the common on that multimeter. So yeah, it's, it's in my grasp now. Spray. It's in my grasp. I got it. It's right here in my hand and it'll be up and running today, I guarantee it. Well, good luck on that. Yeah, As I recall, WA8 MPA Jim had actually, I think disassembled the. They are multi, multi layer wafer rotational switches. And as I recall, he actually took those apart and rebuilt a few of them. So good luck, sir. Thank you very much. All right, let's get on to the next one. K6 ice J next.
Speaker B: Next.

Speaker C: Good morning, Brian and everyone else on the net this morning. Well, I just wanted to know if you skip the whole month because you said March 17th and it's only February 17th and did you give us the days for. For the cabbage, like for St. Patrick's Day?
Speaker A: Man, if I said March, it was because this morning was pretty hellacious as we started out. I'd probably get wanted to skip forward a month. No. Yes, thank you very much. February 17, 2026. And I did give you the correct for February 17. So, yes, today is National Public Science Day, National Cabbage Day, Fastnat Day and Random act of Kindness Day. So pass it forward. Thanks for catching. Hopefully I didn't, you know, get somebody on a new medication schedule because of that calendar mistake.
Speaker C: No, I just was curious because I. You were skipping my birthday because today it's my birthday and I thought maybe we were a month ahead and I had forgotten about it.
Speaker A: Well, good morning, Ana and happy birthday to you. I know we're having some system issues today, but let's go ahead, everyone grab their microphones and let's make a big kerfuffle and wish Anna a very, very happy birthday. Happy birthday AI6US. Everyone join in.

They're pretty close in frequency because I do a 9.9meg split on my. On my duplex node. So I'll have to go in there and fix that. Yep, no worries. As long as we know what it is. I was scratching my. Yeah, I thought I moved it far enough, but I guess not. So I'll draw my. I'll drop my duplex node down into the 430s, and that'll be away from everything. So I guess they were having issues with the coffee net this morning. The. Their repeater system there, I think the hard repeater system, the RF part. Take a crap. Yeah, I was looking at the stats page and it looked like their node rebooted 40, probably now 55 minutes ago. So, yeah, I know they were having problems yesterday. Or was it Sunday? Their voter went out and they were running an alternate, so they brought the voter. I don't know, maybe. Maybe the voter screwed up again. When I connected back in, it was. It was running normally again. Their big issue is they have it. It's growing. A lot of people are connecting to it, and there's a lot of loose nodes out there. Keying. Yeah. So as I mentioned in text, there's another group that connects up. It's called the Fireside Chat. Fireside something or other. And I know they bring in a lot of echo link stations, and I think they also bridge into dmr. And I know they've had problems in the past, but. Yeah, that's. That's a problem. You get these networks that connect in and they bring, you know, hundreds of nodes with them, and you essentially, you know, your span of control is crazy because you can't control those guys. You just have to drop the main link. Let's see. Fire call coming in. So. Yeah. Yeah, that net's huge now. Are you saying that my $39 bo bang with my $29 raspberry PI is not sound equipment to connect it to this nationwide net? Right. Yeah. Yeah, it's amazing. That's why I stopped using dmr. I don't know if you're active on DMR or not, but a lot of these. A lot of these folks who buy the Chinese portables, the audio is just all over the place. You know, I would listen on my. I had an XDR 7550 and, you know, I'd Leave it at mid level for the most part. It's good. Works fine. But then there's these stations that come in here and they're just, Their audio is just, oh, my God, so loud. And then they're like, oh, yeah, I'm on a Baofeng dm, whatever, blah, blah, blah. Or the, the APX clone. I forget what it is now. So then you start adjusting the audio, you turn it down, and it's just, it's crazy. There's no, just, you know, no standard audio. It's just all over the place. Can you tell me how my $7 microphone sounds? Oh, it sounds worse. Oh, let me keep playing with it for like four hours and you can keep telling me it sounds bad. Yeah, it sounds like you're sitting on it and then talking really loudly. So, yeah, it's, it's crazy. You know, I think bridging, Bridging modes is cool, but if you're gonna do that, I think you need to make sure that your audio is, you know, you take the time to set your audio properly. It goes with the same, you know, I, I do a lot on the P25 size of ham. MMDVM. And now it's, you know, people are bridging in All Star and other things, and it's just half the time they blow noise into the, into the reflector and you're just like, can you, can you take the 20 minutes to ensure that your, your station operates properly instead of whatever. So. Oh, well, You gotta love it. I have a guy coming over to do some countertop measuring here, so I need to go prepare for him. I will talk to you later this evening if you're around. W6GRC. I will be here. Unless I float away. Catch you later. Have a good one. K6jw. All right, have a good day, w6grc.

Speaker B: Do you copy? N6IWH0 this morning. Pete is my signal. Okay.
Speaker A: You sound good. How you been?
Speaker B: You know, still alive, breathing air and eating food. You know, like that. Dealing with life dramas and up and downs and, oh, the economy. I mean, blah, blah, blah, you know how it is. How are you doing?
Speaker A: Kind of say the same thing and
Speaker B: yeah, it's quite something this year, that's for sure. So what are you up to? You on your way to work? Home from work, out for lunch.
Speaker A: What we driving? Gonna go pick up a few supplements and some groceries and stuff like that.
Speaker B: When I go pick up Starbucks first
Speaker A: though, because I need a little bit of caffeine in my system. I don't do that very often anymore. But today I feel I need it.
Speaker B: I don't know why.
Speaker A: It's my day off today. I'm just getting a few errands done.
Speaker B: Sounds like a plan. Hey, I drink a pot of coffee every day. Trying to cut down, you know, I like the brood. You know, I like Pete, he's Zikaruda. But now it's Brazil. And I'll admit I should probably cut down,
Speaker A: cut down on caffeine a lot, especially within the past month. I used to have a monster energy drink almost every single day for like a decade. And I'll tell you, that's not good, good. So I've just stopped. I mean, that's a lot of money and just energy drink.
Speaker B: Oh yeah. But you know, my mind is strong, but my flesh is weak. I. I like coffee in the morning, you know, I mean just the whole sensual, you know, part of life. I mean, what else, what other perks are there? Can't have a Hershey's bar.
Speaker A: True. I mean, if it works for you. I'm not the biggest coffee drinker myself. I'll have one every once in a while. It usually takes a lot more caffeine actually get me fired up because I'm so, I guess, dependent on. On it and not really anymore. I'm getting away from that.
Speaker B: Well, you know, I watch my blood pressure, but it used to be drink a cup of coffee to wake up and get wired and, you know, go to work. Wow. Now I can drink a cup of coffee and fall asleep. So I don't know. I'm getting older. Hey, talk like this, I'm not kidding no more.
Speaker A: It typically takes about 200 milligrams of caffeine to actually wake me up. It leaves.
Speaker B: Do you drink sodas over?
Speaker A: Very rarely. Very Very rarely I'll drink fruit juice and water and energy drinks and not much else. Occasionally alcohol. I really curbed that down to almost zero. I mean, I'll buy like a six pack once in a very great while, but other than that, I'm mostly just drinking water or fruit juice nowadays, at least,
Speaker B: You know, back in the day, formative years I call it. I wouldn't touch a soda or fast food. McDonald's, no way. Jack in the box, forget it. You know. And I would always, you know, try to eat healthy. I was a vegetarian for a long time, vegan, by the way. You should know something about nutrition if you're going to be a vegetarian, really.
Speaker A: But
Speaker B: now show me a barbecued piece of meat and I start to growl.
Speaker A: I have a pretty balanced diet myself. It's more or less. I think I should probably start taking ashwagandha or something like that just to help drop my cortisol levels just from stress. This is long term period of time is chronic stress. It's not healthy. And that's actually what I'm going to be picking up today. I thought about it this morning. I looked at one of the bottles ashwagandha I had. It's like three years expired because I stopped taking it a long time ago. So I'm like, you know what? I'm gonna go buy a new Earth market and they have one here in New York City. I'm gonna go pick up the mash Wakanda, see what happens. That kind of mellows me out a bit and in a good way. And I think that's something that I need. It helps with like stress, anxiety and so on and so forth. It actually works too. It works on me. I just stop taking it.
Speaker B: Hey, if it works, you know, anything else really. But do you see a doctor on a regular basis to get blood tests and stuff?
Speaker A: Yeah. Okay.
Speaker B: And you're okay so far?
Speaker A: Yeah, I had a clean bill of health last time I did it. That last time I had my boat work done. I wish it was, was not long that, that long ago. It's just I. I mean I had to watch. That's a lot of stress that I've been under.
Speaker B: Wow. Well, I know the secret of life. Let me tell it to you. You know when people say getting old or getting older or. That really doesn't tell you what is going to happen. I mean physically a lot of times, you know, we have aches and pains, they get worse. You know, pretty soon we're talking to Jesus.
Speaker A: We're on borrowed time. Saying
Speaker B: I try to always keep that
Speaker A: in mind and just try to optimize the life that I have. You know, I feel that I need to do something without the stress. I want to improve the quality of life that I have because it's there to fix it and deal with it for the rest of my life.
Speaker B: Well, you know, I, I really resent when people tell you how to live. You know, do this, do that, you should, you shouldn't, blah blah blah. But you know, it's a really a mystery but why we're even here in the world. But learning how to live, you know, part of the, part of the program, learning how to keep on even keel, if you know what I mean.
Speaker A: It's all about just trying to understand ourselves through the waifong part process, understand our place in this world. That's something I'm always just constantly discovering and trying to fix issues and stuff like that. This just issue that I've been dealing with for a while and it's been a long couple of years really for me. I'm just tired. I'm worn out from it. It's just been such a drag, one thing after another. So I'm just doing what I can do at this point. I've been job searching a lot and that adds to stress. It's just because my income is just not where it needs to be at all. Not even close. I mean, at least picking up a second job, I'd be a little bit better off, but I could put like 50 applications in and talk to a whole bunch of employers and get literally nothing back. It's really rough in this particular area right now for jobs and it has been for quite a while. I was talking about it on the air the other day and yeah, it's been quite something. I. Out of the all the years that I have been job searching, I have never had this hard of a time even getting an interview. Normally I would get interviews pretty easily. I'm not getting anything right now. W E6A X N repeater
Speaker B: oh yeah. Hey, I remember those days in my life, you know, struggling with resumes and blah blah this and blah blah that. Terrible. But you know, I think in life we need some sort of a system. Now here's where I don't want to tell you how to live,
Speaker A: but some
Speaker B: sort of mechanism people use religion, you know, I mean, again, I'm not telling you. You know, I look to a higher power. I mean, there's something going on here in the universe, some sort of intelligent energy we call God.
Speaker A: But
Speaker B: you have to think things are going to work out, and they will. Two years from now, you're going to look back at this and laugh. I remember Iwa.
Speaker A: I do actually do that too. Like, there's some stuff that had happened to me a few years back that I just walked back now. I was like, well, I was. A warning wasn't fixed. What was I thinking? One of those just came to my mind as soon as I just thought about it. I'm like, oh, no, not that thought again. I don't want to talk about it over the air, but there's been a lot of things where I. Yeah, you're right. I mean, you're going to look back at it a couple of years later, I mean, hopefully, and just probably laugh at it. I mean, that's also one of the things, like, why am I stressing so hard? I guess because it's just the pressure in the moment that kind of gets to me, per se, and that's what's causing the stress is just I'm focused too much on, I guess you could call it almost anxiety in a way, because I'm just. I feel some degree of uncertainty.
Speaker B: Well, Buddhist monks believe in mind control using affirmation and, you know, mantras and stuff like that. But, you know, sometimes you just have to learn to relax, let things go. I started out with yoga, and back in the day there was this Maharishi, Mahesh, yogi. This was back in the hippie days. You know, don't worry, be happy. Love, Love is all you need.
Speaker A: Hey, yeah, that's what I'm really trying to do right now, especially today. I'm just like, kind of. Yeah, I'm going to get a few things done. So I'm just really trying to just relax today, not worry about anything, not really think about anything. Maybe pick up a few books and just read. I was thinking about going to the library a little bit later too, and just. Just sitting and relaxing. That's what I'm just trying to do is actually just focus on de stressing today. Not care about too much about finances and stuff like that. I mean, overall, I still have quite a bit of savings because I was smart when I did sales and I actually saved up quite a bit of that money. So I'm not. It's not like I'm in, like in the red financially, which is good. And it's okay because I'm still living with my parents because I had to move back home with them. So it's. I'm still paying them a Little bit for rent. But it could be a whole lot worse than it is actually is right now. For me. I have to count my blessings too. If same time. And that also is a little bit de stressing. I'm like, well, it could be worse. It'll always be worse.
Speaker B: Well, refer back to the old Buddhist monks. You know, they use mantra, you know, like a good one would be, I'm relaxed, I'm cool, I'm centered, I'm good. As soon as you start thinking about something that's negative or bad, just go, hey, no, I'm relaxed, I'm cool. I'm floating.
Speaker A: Yeah, I need to start really just kind of focusing on just controlling the breathing and just relaxing a bit. I mean. Yeah, you're right. I mean, that's, that's really what I need to start telling myself is and to just loosen up my shoulders a bit, I guess. I mean, loosen up a little bit. I guess it is a little bit too serious of a person too. I mean, I take stuff way too seriously. Me personally, with my own stuff, I'm very serious about. I, I have really high standards. I grew up with really, really high standards for myself and at the same time, also not high enough standards to other aspects of my life. I should really actually correct myself because, I mean, if I truly had 100% high standards for myself, I wouldn't have made certain mistakes over the few years of it to myself. But. Yeah, but you see where I'm going with it.
Speaker B: Oh, yeah. N6I. We all got a load, you know, baggage that we're carrying
Speaker A: now.
Speaker B: Me, I. I kind of. I wonder about our existence and think, whoa, this whole thing is a God frozen dream or something. I mean, you know, why are we here? What does it mean? What are we to learn? You know, I don't know. I just try to take it easy. Just sit around sometimes and do some relaxing entertainment, you know. Oh, man, there's somebody pulling up in my driveway. I'm gonna have to take a break.
Speaker A: It was nice talking with you. I'll probably talk to you a little bit later. I'll let you take care of that right now. I'm gonna go grab some sort of caffeine and then I'm gonna go into the store because the Starbucks is conveniently right next to where I need to go to. So I'm just gonna do both. I'll probably catch you on the air a little bit later. You take care now. Great chatting. 73Kn6WNR

Speaker C: Well, the new show that's coming out called, like, U.S. marshals or something, Something like that,
Speaker B: I haven't been alerted to. Seems like I've seen some type of advertisement for that name, though. See, we watched that one the other night. I thought that that was pretty fantastic. That was more up your alley, Jay. Called
Speaker A: Forgotten Figures. It's a true story.

Speaker A: This article published February 9, 2026. Casey Dutton may have moved on from Yellowstone Ranch, but the fan favorite Yellowstone character drama in Marshalls, the upcoming CBS original series from the world of Yellowstone. The show follows Casey as he joins the elite unit of U.S. marshalls in Montana. Anyway, I could move on but about it
Speaker B: check. Yeah, he's got, he's got at least six or eight guys and or gals that go from movie to movie with them like land, Land Man's cast and on and on. We could go.
Speaker A: Okay, so here it says creative team behind Marshalls. Marshalls is executive produced by Taylor Sheridan along with David C. Glasser, executive producing for 101 Studios. The role of John Linson, Art Linson, Spencer Hutt, Duke Grimes, Ron Burkhold, David Hutkin and Bob Yardy. So anyway, yeah, That's, that's all KN6MGK.
Speaker B: Yeah, he stars in all his own movies. Well, I don't know about all, but I see him in most of them. Taylor Sheridan, he's on Joe Rogan right now. You want to really see what a person is in his life. No showboating, no acting, no trying to profess any type of star stuff. Joe Rogan experience. You see a better real side of a person. He knows how to bring that out.
Speaker A: And first premiere date is Sunday March 6th. So a few weeks away. It's going to air weekly. It says channel CBS and streaming on Paramount Plus. So if you've got Paramount plus you'll be able to get it from guessing KM6MZK. Thank you.
Speaker B: Well, thank you is not going to cut it. You still got to pay.
Speaker A: Well, just listening to y' all as payment.
Speaker B: I don't know. Did, did Kamala teach you that? Stephen, I, I was unable to make sense of that comment.
Speaker A: You guys cost me more money out here than any other frequency on vhf. But every day you guys are talking about buying something different and I gotta go look it up, see if it's something I think I might need. Next thing you know I'm ordering it too.
Speaker B: You know, you wouldn't know what to do with a 150 inch screen.
Speaker A: Yeah, you know most the ham radio operators are out there. So. You're right. Any more of that? Yeah, you're right. And I turned off pretty much all my. All my TV service. So now I'm down to just whatever dream or whatever now. So that'll be interesting. My wife's not liking that.
Speaker B: Well, you knew all about Yellowstone
Speaker A: and
Speaker B: I remember when they wanted an outrageous price to buy it and I said It'll be free next year to Lori. And I didn't even remember any of that, that it was on and playing until you said how it ended.
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker B: Oh, well, some. Some things I am willing to pay for. You got to have it now. Got to have it now, but not very often.
Speaker A: What is it that you're expecting in a 10 foot box?
Speaker B: 150 inch movie screen. Yeah, that's diagonal. It's electric. You know, you push a button or a remote control and it comes down out of the ceiling. A screen that big, you got to be able to put it away.
Speaker A: Okay, so that rolls up in itself or something. That's what I'm expecting. I don't know.
Speaker B: Yeah, that's it. We have a freestanding one. It's 120 inches. I look small next to it.
Speaker A: Yeah, I'd almost think something like that might come in like a. You know, it might be a. Side of the box, maybe. I don't know. Yeah. But yeah, I'd be doing what you. I think I heard you say something about waiting to open it. Yeah, that might be a good, good idea.
Speaker B: Well, I'll open it right away. I'll make the guy, whoever delivers it, if and when they deliver it, if that box isn't 100% perfect, then I'll make them stay here until I unbox it. Otherwise you could just take it right back. Anyway, I like the MMA and UFC fights. When the. When the people are the same size as you, you get an idea of what's really going on. Floor to ceiling.

That was kind of boring, but the speech in Germany was good. Worthwhile to listen. Yeah. When. When Marco Rubio runs in 20, 28, it's going to be a tough match against him, I think.

Speaker A: Well, anyway, it looks like you guys got some cool temperatures next few days. Some potential for snow. Pretty. Maybe a pretty sight up there on Friday. I plan on coming up there Friday, check things out. I don't know if I'll go to Magalia, of course, but maybe if there's a lot of snow on the ground, it might be. I like going up there and taking a look at pictures.
Speaker B: Supposed to get down to 750ft.

Speaker A: So all my here. So I'll probably concentrate on it. The paradise is figuring a way to fill containers there with rainwater. That'd be a nice move anyway. Yeah, but the ones here in Chico are full. They filled up. Was using the water over the past month we had. When we were dry. So all my rainwater was gone. So. Got a new plant
Speaker B: there. I sent you a picture. Yeah, well, I mixed up the horse poop into the. Into the big pile of premium garden soil we got out there. It ought to spice things up quite a bit.
Speaker A: And horse manure.
Speaker B: The guy that I'm wiring his shops down there, guy I logged with for 26, 27 years just down in Chico. I've been down there doing the wiring and his next door neighbor's got two horses, premium fed. Oh, yeah. No weeds or nothing either in the pile of poop. Although the turkeys. The turkeys. There's plenty of turkey poop in there too, because they got big turkeys out there by the airport and. And these are good sized damn turkeys. Crazy. There's probably 20 of them or could be as many as 30. And they usually dig through that horse. Horse poop. Getting the giant red beetles and stuff. So I'm sure there's plenty of turkey poop in there too. That's pretty high nitrogen.
Speaker A: Yeah, well, don't want to burst your bubble too much. But boy, that dirt that I got from you that last time, it's alive. And that's a good thing. You know, it's growing. The one thing that grows a lot of is partially. About like, I'm gonna say three feet tall. I was cutting some of it down just for fun, you know. But yeah, I spread a little bit of that in some areas and threw some seed on it. Matted. It grew like crazy. So yeah, that was some good soil. Whatever. Horse manure in there. Well,
Speaker B: yep, he brought me about three yards, two to three yards. Now, I didn't mix that all in there because I didn't want it to be over poked, fluffy. I. I get a little bit of grass growing on that mound of dirt. But I turn it over every couple of weeks, but I'm not noticing anything strange growing out of it Now. Now, some of that dirt that I mixed in with that big pile came out of Orville and it was the field of weeds. That's why they have to cut all that off before they. Before they. That can't be a part of any of the foundation dirt, you know, because they do them radiation tests. But anyway, that pile of Dirt or over where it was. I do get. I do get a little bit different kind of growth out of it. But I back scrape it all the time because I don't. I don't want it growing around here. I'll dig a hole if I have to and put that stuff in there and then cover it up. Then it don't have a chance of coming through the dirt.
Speaker A: Do you guys have a rosemary bush? I forget.
Speaker B: I don't know if she does or don't.
Speaker A: Yeah. Just keep thinking about who I should give this one to. I've got several of them here that I propagated over the last couple years. And one's looking pretty darn healthy, you know, so I'll probably plant one myself up in paradise somewhere. I already planted one small one up there. But I like the rosemary bushes to bring in the pollinators. And if you ever needed a little bit of spice, you could just run out there and clip some off real quick and put it in your cooking, you know, I like herbs like that.
Speaker B: I don't do much of the cooking. Those are some pretty big flakes coming down there, Jake. So I'm not sure what she uses. I don't put rosemary in the couple of dishes that I make. It only lasted for about a minute.
Speaker A: We make a lot of soups around here. A little dash of some rosemary in there. That's a good little addition. If you're making some bread, you could put some rosemary in your bread for herbs. A lot of people do that. But a lot of poultry dishes you might make, whether it be turkey or chicken or whatever, you know, Rosemary is a fairly common herb for that. Springtime before I do now. And they're probably all gonna die.
Speaker B: Yeah. I don't think she's put anything new out. Everything that's out there in the garden now, you know, we got a couple covered things just in case it freezes. Seems like we always get colder towards March anyway. We'll see.
Speaker A: Yeah, we went from like the La Nina pattern into like a little bit of an El Nino pattern for probably about a month. So probably be wet like this for another couple weeks. I bet.
Speaker B: I'd rather have the snow. If we could get three feet here, that'd be 10 or 15ft up at the high lakes. That's the aquifer filling type of saturation that I look forward to. The future water table.
Speaker A: Yep. So we need it. But yeah, maybe.
Speaker B: No rag dump. Got six inches yesterday evening, not last night. But they got even more of them. Sure of it. Overnight last night and today so far. And I seen cars that came out of Sterling city that had 4 and 5 inches on it, so. Oh, yeah.
Speaker A: Well, it looks like a couple people passed away that Robert Duvall, the actor, he was like in his 90s, like 94 now. Jesse Jackson. So there's some more people.

Speaker A: How old did you say she was?
Speaker B: 87. She's just not. I don't know. She called me today morning out of the blue of this work and bottom line, without making too long of a story, she thought she was in Germany because I told her I was going to come see her today. She goes, well, you know, I don't want. She goes, you're not going to be able to get here in time. I said, what do you mean in time? She goes, well, I'm in Germany. I'm with the family, and we're getting ready to have a birthday party. And it's like, oh, okay.
Speaker A: Yeah. What do you think they got her on? I can tell you a story about my daughter. Big, isn't it? Well, what's that? That dog down there. Ain't that a big dog?
Speaker B: We double try again.
Speaker A: I was just telling you a story about my dad. They had him in gold stuff. And he was telling me, he says, look at that. I said, what? He said that right down there. He says, big, ain't it? What? And he says, that dog. Can you see that big dog down there? I was wondering what Eva's on.
Speaker B: No, they don't have her in anything like that. What it is, it's a function of the kidney shut. Her kidneys shutting down and a bunch of, you know, just bloodstream not getting all the toxins stuff there. It's not being cleaned out. Causing all kinds of hallucinations. They're trying to. They're trying to undo that. So we'll see. We'll see. I don't know. Not getting a straight answer right now. So hopefully when I get down there, I can talk to somebody.
Speaker A: Well, we'll be praying for her. Good luck, some of you. Ralph, this is KK7 DDR73.
Speaker B: All right. Kim. Yeah, same to you. I'll just get ready to get on the highway and hopefully trust. I'm trying to get out of here early so I don't. I can avoid rush hours. So we'll see how it turns out. Okay. N7C and.
