Speaker 3: He's your man.
Speaker 1: So dude's a trooper. But yeah, the weather's been pretty good.
Speaker 1: We've been chilling out here for the last couple hours
Speaker 1: something like that and just having a good time at
Speaker 1: him Kashion. We've got a good group here tonight.
Speaker 10: We've got probably twenty here so far. I mean we've
Speaker 10: had thirty to forty yeah easily. Yeah, in the little
Speaker 10: the compound here and.
Speaker 1: We're using the fire ring, which we this is the
Speaker 1: first time I've ever used that. There's the fire ring,
Speaker 1: right there and spin this around. This is the group. Here,
Speaker 1: there's Bill, so there's Kyle. Again, spin this around the
Speaker 1: other way. This is our group that we've here tonight.
Speaker 1: A few people went out for dinner tonight for apparently
Speaker 1: there's some holiday today called Valentine's Day. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that's about.
Speaker 10: A lot of talk about that.
Speaker 1: My wife and I rarely go out on Valentine's Day
Speaker 1: just because the restaurants are so crowded, so we'll usually
Speaker 1: go out like the day before, the day after, the
Speaker 1: next week or smart.
Speaker 7: So yeah, smart, So it's not a huge deal.
Speaker 1: I do wish she was here with me, and I
Speaker 1: expect to see her in the chat shortly, but I
Speaker 1: haven't seen her yet. So so I'm going to get
Speaker 1: as many people as we can to sit down and
Speaker 1: and sit in the hot seat. And the question I
Speaker 1: want to ask everybody is what did you get this weekend?
Speaker 1: Any if you've got anything, or what did you see
Speaker 1: that you thought was really cool?
Speaker 10: Oh jeez, what did I see that was really cool?
Speaker 10: You know, I spent I'm gonna pivot on you, Okay.
Speaker 10: I didn't spend a lot of time at the ham.
Speaker 1: Fast you were here most of the time I was.
Speaker 1: I was here in the compound. Kyle was playing camp
Speaker 1: post cooking.
Speaker 10: We cooked four meals, five meals throughout the weekend. I
Speaker 10: probably spent I was here for Wednesday through Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Speaker 10: I'll be here five days and I will probably spend
Speaker 10: a total of maybe four or five hours at the
Speaker 10: am Fest something.
Speaker 13: Like that something.
Speaker 1: But we ate pretty good this week, Yes, yes we did.
Speaker 1: We had a smoked pork butt tonight from Ken and
Speaker 1: Jess that was tasty. Frank's beans made an appearance tonight
Speaker 1: and we'll make an appearance later too, And we figured
Speaker 1: out the formula for that. Yeah, yes, for some people,
Speaker 1: for people without Texas gut, yes, yeah. But so the
Speaker 1: formula is Frank makes all the beans at home and
Speaker 1: puts them in a ziplock bag and puts them in
Speaker 1: the fridge in my truck and brings him and just
Speaker 1: reheats them instead of bringing the big pot and all
Speaker 1: the ingredients and cooking them here and making a big mess.
Speaker 1: So that worked out much better that way.
Speaker 10: Yeah, But so, and we had Chipotle chicken tacos on Thursday.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, those were good.
Speaker 10: We had, Uh, when do we have Friday nights?
Speaker 1: Friday night taco soup? Hangta steaks?
Speaker 11: I was confusing.
Speaker 10: On Thursday, we had taco soup on Friday nights. Sebastian
Speaker 10: over here from Ham to k got a a what
Speaker 10: what was the Sebastian pekana Azilian American, Brazilian, Africa African
Speaker 10: South American cut of steak where he then seared it
Speaker 10: on both sides and then sliced it and then cut
Speaker 10: it to cooked it to perfection on each slice, and
Speaker 10: he brined it in salt for ten hours. It was
Speaker 10: absolutely amazing. And then Jason over here did a bunch
Speaker 10: of steaks that were great also, so we ate like
Speaker 10: kings on Friday night.
Speaker 1: That's right, Yeah, it was. It was really good. Yep,
Speaker 1: very good. To Thursday night was the taco soup by
Speaker 1: Todd's wife yep. And then today we had roasted or
Speaker 1: slow slow roasted pork button yeah, from Ken and Jess
Speaker 1: and that was good too.
Speaker 10: And then we had burgers and dogs for lunch.
Speaker 11: So we've been eating pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: That is.
Speaker 10: That is the great thing about coming together in these
Speaker 10: hamfests is whenever you've got the resources yeah.
Speaker 11: It's all.
Speaker 5: It's good to cook and eat.
Speaker 1: Well, absolutely, yeah, but you didn't buy anything this weekend.
Speaker 10: Well, I bought a bunch of twelve fuses fuse holders,
Speaker 10: you know where you can put the power poles on
Speaker 10: each side.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, so I bought those for the trailer.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, those are probably for your hikers.
Speaker 5: That's for the trailer.
Speaker 14: Okay, I need to fuse a lot more.
Speaker 10: Stuff because yeah, but yeah, I didn't buy anything. I

Speaker 1: and they never loaded the ham Cason firmware. That's all
Speaker 1: right whatever. Yeah, but I had some of each, so
Speaker 1: I would pop back and forth and chat with people
Speaker 1: on both sides. So it's a definitely well represented.
Speaker 6: Yeah.

Speaker 12: was I had a PC running with Mesh Sense from
Speaker 12: a firm Attech, Yeah, and an SDR running where I
Speaker 12: could actually we could visually see the signals coming through.
Speaker 3: Okay, and because.
Speaker 12: It's short term, but it was very it was just
Speaker 12: basically a line going across the waterfall, right, okay, But
Speaker 12: there was points today where it was just line line line, line, line, line, line, line, line, line,
Speaker 12: constant traffic, constant communication. I wasn't able to look at
Speaker 12: my phone as much, but I would go to look
Speaker 12: at my phone and there'd be one hundred and twenty
Speaker 12: one hundred and thirty messages right.
Speaker 3: Right, people, you all three channels. There was a lot
Speaker 3: of swap net stuff.
Speaker 12: A lot of people testing nodes use the note chat
Speaker 12: for that.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it was just it was really great.
Speaker 1: Plus it's just a great ham Fest absolutely. Yeah, this

Speaker 1: videos with. Is there a special root topic for handcashire?
Speaker 1: Not really in your head?
Speaker 9: Right?
Speaker 1: No tents are allowed in Florida, that's true, m case
Speaker 1: didn't allow tense. That's a that's an Orlando thing. Let's
Speaker 1: see a web RTC stream. No, I don't think so
Speaker 1: k K m RD is not right, Mike. Sorry. Basically yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I said, Johnson has a message about streaming device. I
Speaker 1: need dats everybody, I said, I mentioned this at the beginning,
Speaker 1: and now everybody wants to know about it. Can you
Speaker 1: share them my link? Yeah?
Speaker 7: I mean I don't have your link, but yes, I
Speaker 7: would put it.
Speaker 1: I would put it in the description. Absolutely.
Speaker 12: So there.
Speaker 7: There's kind of an interesting story with this. You already
Speaker 7: hold it up or no?
Speaker 1: I did not? So this is it. It's a five
Speaker 1: G hotspot.
Speaker 17: So a while back, Sprint and T Mobile had a
Speaker 17: class action lawsuit put against them for shroddling hotspots like
Speaker 17: deep prioritizing the traffic right, And so out of that,
Speaker 17: a non profit or not for profit I don't know
Speaker 17: what it is actually called the Calyx Institute, which I
Speaker 17: think is like cl y ix or something like that,
Speaker 17: was created and you can buy a membership for seven
Speaker 17: hundred dollars and they'll send you this and give you
Speaker 17: unlimited data for one year and it's like two hundred
Speaker 17: and fifty gigs in a month, and then they kind
Speaker 17: of like dial it a little bit back. Yeah, and
Speaker 17: then it's five hundred dollars every subsequent month.
Speaker 11: Year.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, that would be bad. Subsequent year.
Speaker 17: I'm sitting we can see the team OBI one TENNA
Speaker 17: from here, but this is getting like one hundred and
Speaker 17: fifty up and down right now.
Speaker 1: Just solved rock solid I live stream for two.
Speaker 17: And a half hours today, yesterday yesterday in the buildings,
Speaker 17: every building all aluminum, you know, buildings outside everywhere.
Speaker 1: No problem with it.
Speaker 17: It is T Mobile Sprint, So if you've got bad
Speaker 17: network in that area for that service provider, then it's
Speaker 17: it's not gonna it's not gonna do great. But yeah,
Speaker 17: it's it's working really well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's honestly, this stream right now is working
Speaker 1: better than my Thursday livestream did on starlink so well.
Speaker 17: I mean, I like starlink, but there's latency, yes, right,
Speaker 17: you'll get dropouts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this seems.
Speaker 17: To be a little bit smoother, but it's yeah, it's terrestrial, right,
Speaker 17: so we're closer to it.
Speaker 7: If you've got bad team mobile, it's not going to
Speaker 7: go good for you.
Speaker 12: Right.
Speaker 1: But considering how long I've been.
Speaker 17: Doing live streams at the show, this felt like such
Speaker 17: a win. I'm so happy about how well this went.
Speaker 17: So yes, so I'm giving everybody my little link. Thank
Speaker 17: you very much for sharing it with everybody. But yeah,
Speaker 17: did you talk about what everybody got?
Speaker 1: Is that what the other's That's the question that I'm
Speaker 1: asking everybody. So what did you see? What did you buy?
Speaker 1: So and what did you see?
Speaker 17: That you a lot of a lot of a lot
Speaker 17: of what I got yesterday I put back in the
Speaker 17: hotel room. So it's it's not here, but I found
Speaker 17: a very rare radio.
Speaker 1: This is a Hendrix what is it? PF p F
Speaker 1: R three band.
Speaker 17: So you guys are looking at this right now and
Speaker 17: some of you are like, oh, that's very mountain topper.
Speaker 17: Yeah looking and so it's it's three bands. It does
Speaker 17: ten thirty and forty. It's a five watt CW radio.
Speaker 17: It's much bigger than a mountaintopper because it has an
Speaker 17: internal tuner oh and internal batteries and it will handle
Speaker 17: either a balanced feed line for like a DOUBLET.
Speaker 7: It'll tune a DOUBLET oh well, and it'll do.
Speaker 1: B and C. Okay. I picked this up for a
Speaker 1: one hundred.
Speaker 17: And fifty dollars, which is insane, yeah that is.
Speaker 1: And then I got.
Speaker 17: And then I got a think Pad T for eighty
Speaker 17: which I was talking about on my Linux video that
Speaker 17: I very much wanted. So I found one of those
Speaker 17: and I got rammed for that today.
Speaker 1: And then I got the where's Kyle?
Speaker 13: Where's Kyle?
Speaker 1: He just walked away.
Speaker 17: I got the Kyle, what's the the Azel satellite thing
Speaker 17: that I got?

Speaker 10: from W A four h W A four m c M.
Speaker 17: W M four A four four W A four m
Speaker 17: c M And he has a website. Yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 17: what is that to How how much was it three
Speaker 17: hundred bucks?
Speaker 7: It's an as L roader for an elk or an arrow.
Speaker 7: You gotta let him know which one.
Speaker 17: But I bought the little adapter plate for both, and
Speaker 17: which is great because it's it's pretty close to backpack portable,
Speaker 17: particularly that SAT controller, and because we've been doing a
Speaker 17: lot of campouts with the scouts, I thought that would
Speaker 17: be perfect. So bring that out with the scouts, set
Speaker 17: it up and work some satellite contacts.
Speaker 1: So, oh, here, I'm gonna hold it out. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: that's that's what it looks like. Kyle did a live
Speaker 1: stream about that a couple of months ago.
Speaker 17: On come on, oh my god, it's hold on, hold please, hope, please,
Speaker 17: Oh jesus, how do you duck the bright?
Speaker 1: I figured it out? Now that didn't do it? There
Speaker 1: we go like that. Yeah, he Dave has one in
Speaker 1: the troller. He says, well, just set it up behind us.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, is there any content to get back? Background
Speaker 1: back here? Uh yeah, that's about it.
Speaker 7: A lawful swag from the people we saw.

Speaker 17: tastic device. So literally run a Cat five cable, assuming
Speaker 17: you can inject POE power into a little thing about
Speaker 17: that big a nice high gain antenna.
Speaker 7: Looks like an old ubiquity yeah, bullet device.
Speaker 17: Yeah, So you put that outside on the roof, run,
Speaker 17: run your networking cable to it to your network, and
Speaker 17: then you just can connect to it and over the
Speaker 17: network and do whatever you need to do.
Speaker 1: That's really cool. That was like one hundred and twenty bucks. Yeah.
Speaker 15: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Then Rockland who.

Speaker 1: Did you get it?
Speaker 18: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I got No, I have not show. He'll make a video. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that one's cool because it has a type end connector,
Speaker 1: so people, that's why I bought. Yeah, because it had
Speaker 1: the type end connector unlike all the other ones.
Speaker 17: Yeah, and what else A lot of that. There's actually
Speaker 17: there's actually a wild amount of people selling mestastics here.
Speaker 17: There's probably at least five vendors, and they're all kind
Speaker 17: of unique. So it didn't it didn't feel like too much.
Speaker 17: But I can quickly see how we're getting to a
Speaker 17: saturation point.
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, it's starting to get a little too much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so but yeah, it was good. It was good. And
Speaker 1: get you already said.
Speaker 5: What you got?
Speaker 1: I got No, I didn't say what I got yet.
Speaker 1: I got a couple of new mestastic devices. I've got
Speaker 1: a the Buddy Heck's Mini was new. Yeah. Did you
Speaker 1: get one? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I got one. Okay, so, uh,
Speaker 1: six ten and twelve meters with a two meter add on,
Speaker 1: and there's a there's a two meter sideband net in
Speaker 1: my area that happens every Wednesday night. There you go, like,
Speaker 1: but you already have the buddy Hecks.
Speaker 13: What do you need the MENI for?
Speaker 1: But I guess it's pretty quick to set up. It's
Speaker 1: it's it's faster set up, more portable, more compact, whatnot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah, it's it's just in time for the solar
Speaker 1: cycle to end.
Speaker 8: Kids.
Speaker 1: We got a ten meter. That's true.
Speaker 7: We still got a couple of years. Alpha Antenna had
Speaker 7: a couple of new antenna's.
Speaker 1: I got a video with him this morning. The Mini
Speaker 1: mag Loop Yep, yep, that one and new hoa buster.
Speaker 1: So although I don't I don't. I don't think that
Speaker 1: one's that new, but he was. He was pushing it though,
Speaker 1: like it was on. That's like a little cone top.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, yeah, he's had that for a little while.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but it's still it's still HOA. Intenna's are
Speaker 1: always a popular topic.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, so I think most of the people I talked to,
Speaker 7: I'll ask me the same question, what do I do
Speaker 7: for an h or hey I live in h A.
Speaker 1: Look what I sat up? And they show me a
Speaker 1: picture like yeah, yeah, that's that's yeah, that's good. But
Speaker 1: that's a yeah. I mean, there was no big the
Speaker 1: icon i'd fifty two hundred was not revealed, and the
Speaker 1: new Kinwood was not revealed. So Kenwood was not here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and sadly we do yep, but hopefully by him vention
Speaker 1: for those two. But we'll see. I don't know. Oh,
Speaker 1: the CWD coder, yeah, thank you.
Speaker 17: The it's not the nomad, but effecially, the prep com
Speaker 17: pro to the prep comma that if it can promise
Speaker 17: most of what their claims are, that's actually going to
Speaker 17: be pretty cool. So hypothetically it creates like a little
Speaker 17: web server almost. You connect your radio to it for
Speaker 17: audio in and key out, and you can just go
Speaker 17: to it at a network device with a browser. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 17: and then it pulls up a website and in just
Speaker 17: a codes. And the cool thing that they can do
Speaker 17: with that is they can now use combination characters to
Speaker 17: represent other characters that aren't in Morse code, so like
Speaker 17: you can send emojis over Morse code with this thing
Speaker 17: right and there, And that's the example they gave. Nice
Speaker 17: that that was like, you know, yeah, okay, yeah, I
Speaker 17: love the dream of PrepCom.
Speaker 1: I I know that I have not.
Speaker 17: I've reviewed two of their devices and for me it
Speaker 17: didn't work out that well.
Speaker 1: But I like the vision.
Speaker 17: I like to see where they're going, and it sounds
Speaker 17: like they've got something that could be really cool. And
Speaker 17: it sounds like they're going to take that CW DOCOE
Speaker 17: technology on that little box and apply it to all
Speaker 17: their other products, and.
Speaker 1: So that would be great. I would like to see
Speaker 1: that yeah, yeah, that's good. I try to go by
Speaker 1: their boot today. They had so many people over there.
Speaker 1: I didn't like toot. People complained about them. I don't

Speaker 1: when from now on, every trip we do from now on,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to cook those at home and give
Speaker 1: them to me. I put them in the freeze.
Speaker 18: When you said that Saturday, I was like, that makes sense.
Speaker 9: Sense.
Speaker 1: I thought you didn't do that because you didn't like
Speaker 1: the way they reheated. But actually I.
Speaker 8: Enjoy cooking and serving as one thing.
Speaker 18: Well yeah, and they're serving it fresh, and I really
Speaker 18: and that's been a big thing when I cook, I
Speaker 18: love deserving it fresh. But after I cook all the
Speaker 18: beans at the hunts Mill and things, there is another
Speaker 18: twenty to thirty minutes to clean up that I don't
Speaker 18: want to do. I don't want to dishanssle with it,
Speaker 18: and it's come to hassle. But once you said Saturday,
Speaker 18: why don't you just cook them and I'll just reheat
Speaker 18: them somehow.
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I was bored Sunday. I was like, all right,
Speaker 8: I'm gonna do let's do that.
Speaker 1: Why not? Oh gosh, they were really good, Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you having them here, even reheated, and like you said,
Speaker 1: after they sit for a while, they kind of soak.
Speaker 8: Up more of the the flavor's kind of yellow ow.
Speaker 1: And but I think they were hotter though.
Speaker 8: I think they did get.
Speaker 1: Hot because they sat in the Halopeno and the aubun
Speaker 1: Euro juices a little.
Speaker 8: Bit longer, So that might be a thing.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 1: Well, the beans making the parance it more that. Hell,
Speaker 1: he'll Billy Haam wants to know, we'll make that happen.
Speaker 5: We can do that.
Speaker 8: Is that an official request? I want to see that?

Speaker 1: A couple of new Alpha antennas were cool. A lot
Speaker 1: of Mestastic Dealers stuff out here.
Speaker 8: I wish the Buddy he's had twenty meters on it.
Speaker 1: The Mini well, the of well, the Mini is the
Speaker 1: longest wire. So the point of the mini was to
Speaker 1: make it smaller.
Speaker 8: Which switch, Matt, you have to remind me of? And
Speaker 8: I was like, that does make sense?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but.
Speaker 8: That that was pretty cool.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 8: The Mesh dealers are out in force.
Speaker 18: One new one that had a he did a custom
Speaker 18: case and custom hardware, custom firmware, and that looks very interesting.
Speaker 18: I want to see if I could talk to him
Speaker 18: or man. When I was talking to that guy, some
Speaker 18: people at these handfests, just don't.
Speaker 8: Know, like just just common sense.
Speaker 18: I mean, a deep conversation with this guy and someone
Speaker 18: comes up, excuse me, excuse me, I can't connect a
Speaker 18: Bluetooth on this device. And the guy's like, okay, can

Speaker 8: was pretty much done anyways. Yeah, I just come on people.

Speaker 18: hangout area that we had so far.
Speaker 8: Yeah. A lot of people. Yeah, a lot of people
Speaker 8: came by say hi, yeah.
Speaker 1: And yeah it was this. This is a good area.
Speaker 12: We like.

Speaker 7: Somebody heard that on the live stream the other night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody said that, and people in the chat were like, oh,
Speaker 1: my god, you said that out loud. I've never heard
Speaker 1: that before.
Speaker 7: I'm like, dude, that's been a thing for like two years.
Speaker 8: Johns was just like really started this is like Frank, Dad.

Speaker 1: that weekend, which it doesn't usually get rented during that week,
Speaker 1: but it is this time.
Speaker 15: Sorry.
Speaker 1: In the hot seat. Are the campsites on location have
Speaker 1: electric kokpuk only electric and water? They have electric and water,
Speaker 1: and most of the poles have about five thirty ant
Speaker 1: breakers and two fifty ant breakers, so you can so
Speaker 1: what They all have one water spigot, which seems odd,
Speaker 1: but so you've got the possibility of seven campers connected
Speaker 1: to this pole with only one one water spigot. So
Speaker 1: what we did is we just each filled our fresh
Speaker 1: water tanks and used the water pump and if we
Speaker 1: ran out, we'll just refilm again. So everybody switching hoses around.
Speaker 1: It worked out fine, It's fine. What's up? Man?
Speaker 14: Has anyone else noticed you give the guests the lower chair?
Speaker 1: I did. That was not on purpose, but that was
Speaker 1: just the chair that Kyle was sitting in and that
Speaker 1: you're chair. No. I don't think it was putting all right,
Speaker 1: but it's just like it's just a Sunday Kyle was
Speaker 1: sitting in when this started. So so okay, man, So

Speaker 16: so I leave them.
Speaker 13: But I keep going back and looking and listening.
Speaker 16: Stand on the side and I listened to him explained
Speaker 16: the product, and I looked at the product. So this
Speaker 16: time I was I finally pulled the trigger on that
Speaker 16: antenna controller.
Speaker 13: And the name of the company flips my mind.
Speaker 9: Right across from Tar Hills.
Speaker 7: Oh, yes, count the screwdriver control.
Speaker 16: He's from Calflorida, And I'm sorry I can't remember. Yeah,
Speaker 16: but anyway, so I bought it and I installed it
Speaker 16: in the truck while.
Speaker 1: I was here installed it.
Speaker 16: Yeah, I was missing a cable, but it still worked,
Speaker 16: so I can use it manually. And so and just

Speaker 1: Some people are saying no audio, but other people are
Speaker 1: saying the audio is good. So's the audio.
Speaker 22: I think it's okay. Hello, one, two, how's my audio?
Speaker 22: Forty five says he has audio. If I unmute myself
Speaker 22: on the laptop i'm watching on I can hear it.
Speaker 13: So gotcha select and.
Speaker 1: Audio to video. Well, that's because we're in a field.
Speaker 1: Can't can't help that.
Speaker 13: They say, have audio.
Speaker 1: So that's what went man, line of sight.
Speaker 16: Okay, okay, And this year we perfected the circling the wagons.
Speaker 13: Yes, we have this little compound.
Speaker 16: I've heard that there was this drone shot from Bump.
Speaker 13: I don't know anything about that. I don't know anything
Speaker 13: about that. You can neither confirm or deny.
Speaker 16: But it's been pretty cool hanging out with people, meeting
Speaker 16: new people, and it always is.
Speaker 13: It's always great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's good. Good deal. Man. I appreciate
Speaker 1: you being here. It's great that you drove. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because I like that that way. You're a little bit
Speaker 1: more on your own timetable. Yeah so cool man, all right,
Speaker 1: so they'll get somebody, is that? The only thing you
Speaker 1: bought though, was the target controller.
Speaker 13: And a couple I went over to just a couple
Speaker 13: of little.
Speaker 16: Bits from the vendors that I bought, nothing important. I
Speaker 16: bought some Velcrow. I finally bought one of the name tags.
Speaker 16: So I bought some Velcrow, the ones that make over there.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 16: Yeah, it takes a day, so you make your order
Speaker 16: today and tomorrow you come pick it up. And I
Speaker 16: bought some Velco for the back of that, and I
Speaker 16: bought some ABR jumper okay.
Speaker 13: That were way more than I remember. So paying with
Speaker 13: cash is way different than paying.
Speaker 9: With the card.
Speaker 16: So usually I just order it, swipe the card, right,
Speaker 16: I probably don't pay that much attention.
Speaker 13: But when they asked for cash, because he said, oh, that'll.
Speaker 1: Be fifty two that, and I said, we.
Speaker 13: Like that's how they costs.
Speaker 5: But I'm not used to paying with cash.
Speaker 16: So but other than that, it's been a great time,
Speaker 16: had good hanging.

Speaker 19: on a chair until everybody get.
Speaker 1: Out right, right? Yeah, So what'd you buy this weekend?
Speaker 18: So?
Speaker 19: I bought a Panasonic Tough Book tablet. Yes, story behind that,
Speaker 19: there is a story so there's a gentleman selling these
Speaker 19: things and they're from a some agency here surplus stuff
Speaker 19: that he had picked up and was reselling, and they're
Speaker 19: great for what we do where we go out and
Speaker 19: we can bang things up, and then the Panasonic and everything.
Speaker 19: Out of all of them, they were all still kind
Speaker 19: of maybe tied up with their mobile device properly wiped.
Speaker 1: Yeah, mine was factory reset.
Speaker 5: Mine was so.
Speaker 11: Out of the five of us that went up Autumn,
Speaker 11: I was the only one who was able to keep it.
Speaker 1: So yeah. So so Rob, myself, Frank, not Frank, Bill, Bill,
Speaker 1: and Ak and you. Five of us bottomed and Tim's
Speaker 1: worked and the rest of us didn't. So we all
Speaker 1: walked back up there together and got a refund. And
Speaker 1: the guy was cool about it. He was he was like, man,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I was like, no, man, we just want
Speaker 1: to get a refund. He's like, okay, yeah, here I'll
Speaker 1: give you. It is one hundred bucks for the tablet
Speaker 1: running Android. That's why it was appealing because it was
Speaker 1: running Android.
Speaker 11: Yes, and I've been over there playing with mine.
Speaker 3: I have no complaints with it.
Speaker 1: Good.
Speaker 19: Yeah, it's it's actually faster than the fairly new tablet
Speaker 19: that I purchased.
Speaker 1: Really well, I'm gonna have to go look those up
Speaker 1: online now. I think they go to two for two
Speaker 1: to two fifty online. And this guy had him for
Speaker 1: a hundred bucks. But if you can't get into him
Speaker 1: because they haven't been properly factory of reset then so
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's good that. I'm glad you'r's worked. Hell
Speaker 1: me too, anything else?
Speaker 19: So the low mesh fantastic, which were so I bought
Speaker 19: the outside node of the nice nice Okay, So I.
Speaker 11: Was under the impression.
Speaker 19: Rob was under the impression too that you could update
Speaker 19: the node up the internet cable.
Speaker 11: But I talked to him about it today and you cannot.
Speaker 11: That's it's purely power. So still not for my case,
Speaker 11: it's nothing.
Speaker 19: I'm not going to be I will be above a
Speaker 19: first story uh uh, you know, rough, but I won't
Speaker 19: be so far out of range that I won't.
Speaker 7: Be able to So you update it remotely with or
Speaker 7: you can bluetooth to it.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, yes, okay, some of them if you I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess it's not Wi Fi because so it's just
Speaker 1: power overneath the ethernet and that's all that's correct.
Speaker 11: Power over ethernetic.
Speaker 19: It comes in and gets stepped down to five bolts
Speaker 19: and then fed end of the What what I like
Speaker 19: about this guy, which is a little bit different than
Speaker 19: everybody else, is he's actually an engineer and he designs
Speaker 19: the board right right, So we were talking all kinds
Speaker 19: of different variations, and I think, what's.
Speaker 6: What with that?
Speaker 11: I mean, he'll he'll be able to take.
Speaker 19: That feedback and incorporate it any stuff, which, uh, the
Speaker 19: other companies are nothing against him, but I don't.
Speaker 11: I don't think they've got that, they have that ability.
Speaker 1: He's definitely. Yeah, he's definitely doing some things that no
Speaker 1: one else is doing. Yes, yeah, that's gonna be great
Speaker 1: to see. I think I like that. Yeah, totally.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I got a couple of his notes. I walked by
Speaker 1: and I bought one of his notes, and then I
Speaker 1: walked by later and you know, I talked to him
Speaker 1: for I don't know, five minutes the first time I
Speaker 1: walked by, and then I walked by later and he
Speaker 1: called me my name, and I'm like, kind of you
Speaker 1: know who I am.
Speaker 7: I'm just I was just talking to you yesterday, and.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know how that happened. But
Speaker 1: so he he's uh, he's interested. He's going to set
Speaker 1: up an affiliate program. Okay, but he hadn't done that yet.
Speaker 1: He's still knew. But he's here in Florida, so it's
Speaker 1: he's got Yeah, he's got custom firmware that meshes with
Speaker 1: everything else. But it's the company is low Mesh l
Speaker 1: o m E s h low mesh l o W
Speaker 1: is l o W. His sign on there said l
Speaker 1: O is it.
Speaker 3: L o It was l o W.
Speaker 1: Okay, well maybe it's l o W low mesh tontal
Speaker 1: fact check. Its US based, Oh yeah, l o W
Speaker 1: mash Yeah, l o W mass that's right there, so
Speaker 1: US based.
Speaker 7: Yep, that's him right there. Screenshot that and thanks man.
Speaker 11: But yeah, yeah, so so nothing overseas. Everything is right
Speaker 11: right right here in the United States.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is good America. It's fantastic, except for all
Speaker 1: the Chinese boards that are on the inside.
Speaker 11: But its.
Speaker 19: But so so something else that was interesting, Uh those
Speaker 19: cases that you had, those are injectionable. That they're not
Speaker 19: pretty printed, yes, correct, So they're injectionable, which is a
Speaker 19: little bit different.
Speaker 3: Everybody else is three D printed.
Speaker 11: The now the the appeal you know that one is
Speaker 11: three D printed, but it's.
Speaker 19: I'm not sure, I can't remember the it's it's some
Speaker 19: glass type filament.
Speaker 11: So it's it's not gonna go h melt away in
Speaker 11: the sun and anytime. So yeah, so.
Speaker 8: That that was really nice.
Speaker 11: And then, uh, the funny thing he was saying.
Speaker 19: He's like the whole YouTube thing and social media is
Speaker 19: kind of not new to him, and he's like he's
Speaker 19: he's driving home as somebody sends him a message you

Speaker 19: stuff with VM, where it was kind of the handle
Speaker 19: that I used was the other Tim Davis. There was
Speaker 19: another Tim Davis in the community, and uh, he was
Speaker 19: kind of established before I was, so as a as
Speaker 19: a joke, everybody just started calling me the other Tim Davis,
