Speaker 1: You know what, I there's there's merit to that. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. But some mornings I actually made
Speaker 1: myself a cup of coffee. This is Carlos's coffee this morning,
Speaker 1: and I have it in a K five at a mug.
Speaker 1: So I'm very Ham friendly this morning.
Speaker 2: I need to put something in my mug. I don't
Speaker 2: know what I got around.
Speaker 1: Starting starting with the whiskey already this morning, Frank.
Speaker 2: I don't know it's the Santa's Go juice, Santa's Go juice?
Speaker 2: How is he think he stays warm on this?
Speaker 1: I know it. Yeah, yeah, I'm with you. Is it
Speaker 1: just me? Or is there no picture?
Speaker 2: I think it's just you picture. It looks fine on
Speaker 2: my end.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's just you. But everyone else would
Speaker 1: have been uh griping about it if to my, to my,
Speaker 1: everyone else would have said something which I would have
Speaker 1: appreciated if there was actually no picture.
Speaker 2: So there would have been a clamor yeah, yeah, clamor
Speaker 2: I could I help it? I could I help it? Oh? Man,
Speaker 2: go ahead?
Speaker 1: Okay, So so N five s k T. He's he's
Speaker 1: he's given a he's doing some uh foreshadowing for me
Speaker 1: only t for me. Jay Christina is a big tea guy.
Speaker 1: And the reason he's talking about Joseph Christina is because
Speaker 1: I interviewed Joe about Starlink. We sat down and did
Speaker 1: about an hour long interview about Starlink and that video
Speaker 1: will post on this channel tomorrow B but it's up
Speaker 1: early for my patrons, so patrons and YouTube channel members,
Speaker 1: So if you haven't seen that, go check that out.
Speaker 1: And it is a good He has a lot of
Speaker 1: inside information. I don't know how inside it is. He's
Speaker 1: just well researched. Uh. With starlink. He was talking about
Speaker 1: several things that I didn't I didn't know about. So
Speaker 1: starlink is as actually for what it is for some
Speaker 1: of their new stuff. It's actually a quite useful off
Speaker 1: grid tool, is it.
Speaker 2: Are you talking about the starlink that you can make
Speaker 2: cell phone calls from?
Speaker 1: Yes, that we talk about that aspect of it, among
Speaker 1: other things. Yes, yeah, correct, it's called direct direct to sell.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's that's pretty cool. But I wonder how
Speaker 2: much of an issue because you know how we had
Speaker 2: starlink over in the Granny Canyon and we didn't quite
Speaker 2: have a clear guy. So we had it for like
Speaker 2: ten minutes and then there'll be a two minute drop
Speaker 2: and then ten minutes drop.
Speaker 1: We had a perfectly clear sky, had a perfectly clear sky.
Speaker 1: It was Yellowstone, yellow Yellowstone. Oh you said, you said
Speaker 1: Grand Canyon.
Speaker 2: I misspoke. I apologize, well.
Speaker 1: But you're correct because Grand canyons where we had the
Speaker 1: tree cover much like Montesano in Huntsville, and it doesn't
Speaker 1: really it doesn't really work out there. But in Yellowstone
Speaker 1: we had clear sky and it would still drop and
Speaker 1: we talk about that. He and I talked about that.
Speaker 1: He had a theory which I don't really think I
Speaker 1: buy into a whole lot. He thought it was my
Speaker 1: app and I'm like, dude, I was just using the phone. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think me and you both were trying to use
Speaker 2: the data at the same time, and when you went down,
Speaker 2: I went down also, like.
Speaker 1: It was Yeah, both of us were like, it was
Speaker 1: not very it was not very stable in Yellowstone for
Speaker 1: being a satellite internet, which which is okay. You know,
Speaker 1: starlink is not the end all, be all answer to
Speaker 1: everything like some people. Some people claim, oh, it just
Speaker 1: gets starlink. No, it's not the end all. Maybe it
Speaker 1: will be in fun five years. I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 1: it will. They're deploying new satellites all the time.
Speaker 2: But it's certainly at evolving technology right, kind of cool
Speaker 2: to have. It's just based on that experience. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I will use it as my defacto. This is what
Speaker 2: I'm defaulting.
Speaker 1: To, right right, Yeah, agreed, agreed. So anyway, we talk
Speaker 1: about that for a good hour. That video will post
Speaker 1: tomorrow publicly. It's up.
Speaker 2: It's up.
Speaker 1: It's up now. Yeah, it's up now for patrons and
Speaker 1: YouTube channel members. I shared it with you guys. Go
Speaker 1: check that out and uh more stuff. I've got a
Speaker 1: couple more Starlink videos upcoming as well, because I got
Speaker 1: a Starlink Mini dish and which runs off of USB
Speaker 1: C so I plugged it into one of my standardized
Speaker 1: battery packs that I've been pushing off my Amazon store
Speaker 1: for the last month. When I was at the Hunting
Speaker 1: Lease a couple of weekends ago, and I ran it
Speaker 1: for solid two hours on a battery pack this big
Speaker 1: oh wow. So it was that's that's the most off
Speaker 1: grid in if that I mean, that's an oxymoron obviously,
Speaker 1: but that's the most off grid Internet you could possibly get.
Speaker 1: So it was fun.
Speaker 2: It was I'm glad they probably have a battery system
Speaker 2: for those things.
Speaker 1: You know, Well, it's not their battery system. It just
Speaker 1: runs off a USBC. Should just plug it into whatever.
Speaker 2: Ooh but yeah nice, nice, Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's just standard USBC. So the new one is so yeah,
Speaker 1: good deal, awesome, awesome, awesome. So, speaking of that, a
Speaker 1: couple other things I and I am on let's see
Speaker 1: pull up this screen out. I am I'm doing some
Speaker 1: uh well, nobody answered my CQ that time. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: doing some forty meter FT eight. I've made three or
Speaker 1: four contacts already this morning, so that's where we're at
Speaker 1: right now. If you guys are on FT eight, it
Speaker 1: looks like it was kind of lively a minute ago.
Speaker 1: It looks like it's dying down sadly. The last couple
Speaker 1: of years that winners rolled around, I've been seeing some
Speaker 1: Asian stations, some Juliet Alpha, Juliet Fox Trot stations, Japanese
Speaker 1: stations on forty ft eight, which was really fun to
Speaker 1: work those guys. Not really seeing anything like that this morning,
Speaker 1: but there are some US stations out there. There was
Speaker 1: a one out there from Cuba earlier I think I saw,
Speaker 1: and somebody from Europe. I can't remember where it was
Speaker 1: right now, but but forty meters is kind of kind
Speaker 1: of a live Right now with FT eight, do twenty
Speaker 1: meter FT eight. Maybe I'll switch to twenty in a minute.
Speaker 1: I was doing ten meters yesterday. It was lit up.
Speaker 1: Ten meters was lit up yesterday and it has been
Speaker 1: for a while, so excellent, excellent time to go out
Speaker 1: and do some ten meter poda if you guys are

Speaker 2: put the marshmallows on toast them, and everything would be
Speaker 2: hot and ready to go. So if you don't know,

Speaker 1: I got a I got a smoked cocktail set. In fact,
Speaker 1: I got a picture of it here. Let me uh,
Speaker 1: let me pull that up real quick, switch over here photos.
Speaker 1: I took a picture of it so I could share
Speaker 1: it here this morning. Uh, that's it right there? Boom,
Speaker 1: come on, stupid Google always wants to rotate it in
Speaker 1: the wrong direction, right yeah and it no, there we
Speaker 1: go save right yaw all right. So I told himly,
Speaker 1: I was like, that's a cigar lighter. She knows. She's like, no,
Speaker 1: it's a drink lder. I'm like, well, yeah, it's that too.
Speaker 1: Comes with its own little bottle of freaking but tane
Speaker 1: over there on the right. So it's got and each
Speaker 1: of those. So that's that's the up at the top left.
Speaker 1: That's the thing that you put so you fill your
Speaker 1: glass and whatnot. And the little book that you can't
Speaker 1: see that's at the top left is a little recipe book.
Speaker 1: It's got four or five mixed drink recipes in there.
Speaker 1: And Jake, one of my hunting buddies, he had one
Speaker 1: of these that not this fancy. He had one of
Speaker 1: these out at the dear Least a couple of years
Speaker 1: ago and we smoked some some scotch and that was
Speaker 1: that was tasty. But these four where it says charred peach, hickory, cherry.
Speaker 1: And there's another one up over there on the right
Speaker 1: that's actually there's actually two in each of those slots,
Speaker 1: there's one little and those are wood chips. So there's
Speaker 1: there's eight different flavors of wood chips. You got apple
Speaker 1: in there and mesquite and uh, I forget what else
Speaker 1: oak in there? I think and uh and then you
Speaker 1: so you put your wood chips in that little screen
Speaker 1: thing and then you light it on fire and it
Speaker 1: uh and it smokes your your cocktail for you. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to uh, we're gonna have to do
Speaker 1: some of that. So we have to test We're gonna
Speaker 1: have to test this out, Frank, you and I are
Speaker 1: gonna have to test this out on my patio. So
Speaker 1: we make sure it works correctly before we take it
Speaker 1: to winter Field Day next month. How's that?
Speaker 2: I love everything about.
Speaker 1: This, that's right?
Speaker 2: Yeah? See, I would love because what I do that
Speaker 2: audio podcast at Texas Ham's. Yeah, and I would love somehow
Speaker 2: to set up you know, cameras and we'd just all
Speaker 2: sit around to talk. But the hardest part is how
Speaker 2: do you put a camera on each guy and then
Speaker 2: mic everyone up and just kind of do that hang
Speaker 2: out and talk with each other. It's just difficult to
Speaker 2: do that with all in person. But that would be
Speaker 2: the perfect thing for that.
Speaker 1: I would, yes, it would be, but I would just
Speaker 1: use a I would just use the wireless mic system. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You do you have the dual mic or do you
Speaker 1: have a single mic?
Speaker 2: I have the duel mics. Okay, I have two sets
Speaker 2: of the duel mics because I lost one of the receivers,
Speaker 2: so I have one that's just the receipt transmitters. But
Speaker 2: you could put those in recording mode. And that's what
Speaker 2: I did, if you remember correctly, at Winterfield the summerfield
Speaker 2: Day last year, where we sat around and talked. I
Speaker 2: just liked everyone up and that worked pretty well. I
Speaker 2: just want to do that on video someday, and and
Speaker 2: that's gonna just be more working extra.
Speaker 1: You just have to pass the mic around. I think
Speaker 1: it'd be a fun thing to do. Still, do they
Speaker 1: have Jack Daniel whiskey Burrow chips for that drink smoke? Not? No,
Speaker 1: not in this specific set. There's no Jack Daniels chips
Speaker 1: in here. Jason Lockwood, how much is that was free?
Speaker 1: Because that was a Christmas gift for my wife. So
Speaker 1: I don't care how much. I don't know how much
Speaker 1: you paid for it, so but yeah, it was. That
Speaker 1: was my Christmas gift that I got this morning.
Speaker 2: Okay, I got no gifts because it's just me in
Speaker 2: the house, just.

Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think it came out before Fat Man,
Speaker 1: if I. I just watched Fat Man for the first
Speaker 1: time this year, and that was pretty good, but Violent
Speaker 1: Knight was. It's at least two years old, it might
Speaker 1: be older, and I don't remember exactly when it came out,
Speaker 1: but yeah, definitely. Uh yeah, Bruce Willis says it's not
Speaker 1: a Christmas movie. Well he's wrong. Then Bruce Willis didn't
Speaker 1: write or direct die Hard, he just started it.
Speaker 2: So did you do you watch the movies that make us? No?
Speaker 2: I no, no, there's one that they were talking about
Speaker 2: die Hard and everything going in like they're trying to
Speaker 2: make that movie. So apparently they were still writing actively
Speaker 2: writing that movie when they started shooting it. So when
Speaker 2: they started shooting it, they did not know how what
Speaker 2: the ending was going to be, so they were kind
Speaker 2: of just like really shooting and writing at the same time.
Speaker 1: Huh, that's interesting. I don't know it was.

Speaker 1: A lot of Christmas. Yeah, no, no, I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think I think I think it is.
Speaker 1: I think it's totally a Christmas movie myself. But the
Speaker 1: uh yeah, you know, the first Lethal Weapons starts that way,
Speaker 1: starts with jingle bell Rock, but it kind of progresses,
Speaker 1: you know, for several weeks after the fact and whatnot.
Speaker 1: But Diehard all happens in the same night. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a to me, that's a Christmas movie. But I
Speaker 1: can't find that meme I shared. Now, oh there it
Speaker 1: is right there, there, it is right there. Okay, see,

Speaker 1: Right, I did. H I sold my Nintendo NES, my
Speaker 1: original Nintendo, and and I think we got a Sega
Speaker 1: Genesis that we and this is still when we were kids,
Speaker 1: and it was Yeah, it was a Sega Genesis and
Speaker 1: we had that for a while. And then when I
Speaker 1: when I kind of got out on my own, I
Speaker 1: bought a Nintendo sixty four and I liked two or
Speaker 1: three games. GoldenEye was one of the really good games
Speaker 1: on that system. I still have my Nintendo sixty four.
Speaker 1: And a few years back I went up to games
Speaker 1: This is back when game Stop was actually good. I
Speaker 1: went up to Game Stop and I got an original
Speaker 1: Nintendo again. So I have one around here somewhere. I
Speaker 1: think it's in that bag right there actually, and I
Speaker 1: can't remember what game. I think I only have the
Speaker 1: only game I have for a Super Mario. But I
Speaker 1: mean that was like my favorite game anyway with Super Mario.
Speaker 2: You remember before they bought them out, Funko.
Speaker 1: Land, uh, vaguely.
Speaker 2: Funko Land was awesome because Funko Land would allow you
Speaker 2: to Back in the day, they had a certain game.

Speaker 2: store and you're like, oh, I can I try you know,
Speaker 2: Super Mario Brothers three, And they'll put it into the
Speaker 2: game station, allowed to play it, and so you can
Speaker 2: test the game out before you buy it. But I

Speaker 2: hour or so. Mom got her here.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's cool.

Speaker 1: play the heck out of Mortal Mortal com Original Mortal Kombat,
Speaker 1: uh was kind of low res, but like Mortal Kombat

Speaker 2: I still feel like they're button smashers instead of really skilled.
Speaker 1: No, you never played one correctly. Well, you never played
Speaker 1: Mortal Kombat correctly because you had to. You had to
Speaker 1: do something. I mean you could learn like kind of

Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, no, you just get instead of if you
Speaker 1: need to get rid of get rid of radios, just
Speaker 1: leave them in your car at Chicago O'Hare. Apparently that
Speaker 1: that takes care of the problem. We're teasing you, Mike,
Speaker 1: you know that, but.
Speaker 2: You're so sad. The worst in.
Speaker 1: My mind, the worst about that story is that he
Speaker 1: was coming here to do Winterfield Day with us when
Speaker 1: all that happened. I'm like, geez, seriously, but oh boy,
Speaker 1: But anyway, what was I saying, Oh, I get my
Speaker 1: patio set up and get some heaters going out there,
Speaker 1: and then uh, and then I even have a I
Speaker 1: have a TV that I mount out there, I take
Speaker 1: it down when it rains, like it's been raining for
Speaker 1: the last day or two. But you know, I can
Speaker 1: watch myself on the TV. I can play YouTube on
Speaker 1: the TV and have a cigar and do a live
Speaker 1: stream from out there. So I want to do that
Speaker 1: because it's just a good place to do it. But
Speaker 1: I just gotta get some I gotta get some better.
Speaker 1: I gotta get some some shades and some screens put
Speaker 1: up on one side or both sides of the place
Speaker 1: to try to keep the heat in a little bit
Speaker 1: from the heaters. No.
Speaker 2: I've been thinking lately because I always wanted to do
Speaker 2: the to cover my patio, and I'm getting ready to
Speaker 2: start trying to get contact contractors to do that. But
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I looked downstairs last night and I
Speaker 2: saw mike carpet. I was like, oh, the carpet's about
Speaker 2: eight years old now, and that kind of needs to replace.
Speaker 2: So now, you know, do the tiles in the house
Speaker 2: instead of the patio because the tiles will probably you know,
Speaker 2: keep stay keep up the value better than a covered patio.
Speaker 1: Have you had your carpets cleaned?
Speaker 2: No? And that's the other thing I was thinking about
Speaker 2: maybe I should so call a clean service too.
Speaker 1: I've got a really really good I've got a really
Speaker 1: really good cleaning sir, carpet cleaning guy, and he does
Speaker 1: he does an excellent job. I don't use him anymore
Speaker 1: because we replaced all our carpet years ago with hardwood floors.
Speaker 1: When you have dogs, carpet is a bad idea mm hmm.
Speaker 1: And but so so we have all Harvard, so I
Speaker 1: haven't used him, but I'm fairly certain he's still in business.
Speaker 1: He's out of like Arlington or no, like Crowley or
Speaker 1: something like that. But but yeah, he's good dude. I'll
Speaker 1: give you his number. But yeah, have your carpets cleaned?
Speaker 1: You may not, I mean eight years old, if you've
Speaker 1: taken care of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's might be in the hallways they're they're really
Speaker 2: really worn.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean if they're worn or starting to frey,
Speaker 1: then yeah, that's one thing. If they're just dirty, that
Speaker 1: can usually be cleaned up pretty good.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm just trying to think of like, well
Speaker 2: that that will you know, increase the house value a
Speaker 2: bit more than just covering the patio. To covering the patio,
Speaker 2: I don't think it will add too much or help
Speaker 2: it retain the value. But you know you put tiled down.
Speaker 2: I was thinking that wood wooden look tile. Yes, I
Speaker 2: really love that.
Speaker 1: My folks have that. It looks good in their house.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's a good idea. Here's Kevin Lopoda. I'm
Speaker 1: saying your name right. I've only had my gmrized license
Speaker 1: for less than a month and I only have eleven
Speaker 1: hts and I feel like I don't have enough radios. Lol. Dude,
Speaker 1: you are a Ham radio operator in the making. You
Speaker 1: are absolutely on a Ham radio operator in the making.
Speaker 1: You have you it's in your blood. You have the skill.
Speaker 1: Go get your hand radio licensese.
Speaker 2: Yes, well, then you get more distance, you can use
Speaker 2: the Ham radio repeaters and then.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean just because he's he's out there buying
Speaker 1: radios and he still doesn't have enough. He is a
Speaker 1: Ham and whether he knows it or not, that's good.
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 2: Don finish your hamsat Frank.
