60 going to 86 finally getting some cooling down. Lunch out today to celebrate our 50th anniversary!

PJ Happy Birthday Glad the Kidney Stones are behind you I have had that done 4 times in last 3 years!

I do have sd cards in mine and when they get to a certain point they overwrite the older data so no need to remove all the time.

I use Reolink also sends a tone on my phone whenever it is tripped and records a 1 minute video it can be set longer. I have 3 of these and can Pan and Tilt if desired also have Voice. Amazon.com

Scott before I forget checkout the Special Event we will be having in November Air Force Military Auxiliary Radio Systems (AFMARS)

Drew why not a small floor jack they have one that even has a case?

Can you raise it up and let it sit on the deck? On another piece of wood or decking?

Yes all can be had from the internet (free even) Along with FT8 you will need a program called Net Timesync to keep your PC time accurate. NetTime - Network Time Synchronization Tool (also free) I do not do much with coil type antennas all mine are just wire with a balun usually the shortest...

Scott you can get the Drivers needed from Icom and install them once that's done plug the USB cable to the radio and PC and you will see Com Port for the rig. Then you install the software you want to try (FT8) set it up with the Com port that was created in the PC. I use AnyDesk software for...

I guess my main problem with the "All in One" stations is you cannot mount them according to the suggested site installations. Typically rain gauge for 4 to 6 feet above clear open space and the anemometer ideally at 33ft above ground.

Glad it works for you!

I like PopG have both and maybe if I didn't have my Web site for all to see I could get by with the Tempest BUT they are no where near the same for me. You get what you pay for as they say. IMO

The voice procedure is just give call sign basically to acknowledge contact. The digital is automatic you make the connection and then disconnect. Been many years they may have changed that procedure now not sure. The digital required no involvement on their part it was thru a TNC/Radio setup.

Drew over the years I have 3 contacts made with the ISS. One voice and 2 digital (packet radio)

Davis Vantage Pro 2 is what I suggest like others here I have had mine well over 15 years now. If you shop the web you can get them below MSRP.

Gladhand is the connector on the end of the airline hoses on a semi.

Scott you didn't by chance work W7W this weekend did you? That was the club call we were using for the event. Also check out our event coming this fall. https://community.apan.org/wg/afmars/air-force-mars-77th-special-event/

53 going to 87 today should be another nice day. Scott nothing fancy on the Delta Loop I used a Balun Design 4:1 Balun and attatched to a pole on barn roof went out to 2 points from there not symetrical at all but somewhat triangle shaped! Works great. I also have a 204ft dipole that does not...

Sorry but I'm partial to my 380ft Delta Loop!!

55 going to 93 today! Everyone have a good day.

Urologist Appt. Also?

Hey great I guess maybe I should revisit CW i use mostly digital modes with FLDigi usually PSK31 and 5 watts.

Drew I am an AFMARS member. I remember years ago going into an EOC for disaster relief while there the commander in charge asked what entity I was from and not thinking just said I'm from MARS. They almost escorted me out the door until I showed my card! :)

Nice see if he wants to come to idaho! I use my drone to put wire antennas up. I have a 380ft Delta Loop for Transmit and a 780ft Beverage antenna for Receive.

Good Deal hope you get what you want! CW? Clear Weather ;-)

Scott_VT CONGRATULATIONS KC1WUZ Now get on the Air!

Strange we collect the fees at the testing!

Drew what are you going to tow behind the Lexus?

Hey Great news! Amateur Advanced would be good and get you back on HF! IC-7300 is a great radio make sure to connect it via a USB cable to your PC for digital modes. The 7300 has a builtin sound card so software is all you need for your desired flavor of digital.

Well Take the General test while you are there it doesn't cost any extra and you can at least see what you are up against. I am a VE and when we suggest they take the General test also we have about a 50% that pass that one as well even without studying! Good Luck Sir!

Sounds good you will find out there are many digital modes now that involve a sound card and a PC connected to your radio. I am mostly involved in Emergency Comms side of radio.

I am a Ham Operator let me know if I can help! Licensing is much easier now with no Morse Code requirement. Is there something specific about the hobby you are interested in?

Been there done that 4 times last year! Get better

Mostly sorry for your loss

Drew can't you reuse some of that when you get the trailer?

When I travel South for 2 months during the winter my neighbor drives my driveway everyday to keep an eye on my place! Can't get any better neighbors.

Check out laser printers are cheap now and ink doesn't dry up!

Drew I have the EAZ LIFT Recureve3 and love it has built in sway control also!

M7040 Sorry for your loss.

You could just install another dish on the garage and pay the $5 a month for the second receiver.

Well I have a dish Tailgater and a second receiver and when I am not in the RV I use it in the shop cost $5 a month extra on my account for extra receiver.

Drew we love out Grand Design Imagine model 2020

Ham Op here also Extra class.

I also have the same Davis and sent it in last year for a Reman. they replaced everything that was not in spec. and it was 15 years old cost me $225 for the service way cheaper than a new one.

32000

Well Drew hope you have better luck than I did with Ford and the Cam Phasers noisy at startup sounded like a diesel. They would not fix under warranty said it was normal! No more Ford's for me.

Don it appears they have the salt trucks ready to go when needed..

Happy New Year to all! Snowing lightly here today and 29 not much snow expected.

Put Anydesk on 2 PC's you will have a number give the number to someone you want to log into your PC then they try and connect and you must accept them before they are allowed into your PC. Same as Remote Desktop for the most part and it's free. I use to train and help folks daily!

Works fine for me when I am home have 4 PC's running headless in the radio room. Away from home Anydesk works great!

I use Real VNC Viewer and Server to connect headless same as have all hardware connected !

Eddie Look at the Wifi on the tablet and see if yours shows up maybe all you need is to connect it?

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Drew maybe some overload shocks on the rear of the car and add the big hitch!! :p

I installed the same unit and it does have a muffler.

There is a muffler on this Generator all you need is the flex pipe to route the fumes outside! take off the short piece already on the generator and buy a longer one that will reach the wall.(napa)

I use AdGuard and see no adds!

Glad to hear the report so far!

He asked this nothing about your trucks rusting?"Any opinions on the new 2025 Ram 1500 with the standard hurricane inline 6cly.with twin turbos?I currently have a 2022 Ram 1500 with the 5.7 hemi.Thinking about trading up to a 2025."

Coobie does this road salt stuff affect the new Hurricane engine? Boy this thread went off the rails quick.

AMERICAN TAXPAYERS TIED TO POTENTIAL FUNDING OF $7.5B LOAN WASHINGTON DC – American taxpayers may provide a loan of more than $7.5 billion to a joint venture involving automaker Chrysler that plans to build electric vehicle batteries in Indiana. On Monday, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Loan...

Drew are trailer did that ended up being the 02 sensor went bad!

Ron curious where you went when you went south for Winter?

Wngsprd, so sorry for your loss

Many good things to see in Idaho just depends on the area you are in! Hell's Half Acre Lava Field | U.S. Geological Survey near Idaho Falls

One thing we noticed last month on our trip to TN from ID is we really would rather travel with our own Bed and meals rather than eating out all the time! Not to mention having your own rest room behind you! We used to motel all the time not so much now with an RV.

Sure why not maybe let the Postal service take over the Ports!!

Drew are you going to be anywhere near Tucson?

Yes GMRS requires a license BUT no test required just pay the I believe $30 fee good for 10 years.

I am not sure I have not had any CB stuff for years all Ham now.

CB's do not need a license only Ham radio and power does not matter you need a license for all on Ham. CB are "supposedly" only 5 watts on AM and 12 watts on SSB but alot of folks bump them up for more range. Even a Base CB will be 5 watts on AM BUT the base mounted antenna will help quite a bit...

Radiator Cap not venting?

Drew just take some dryer sheets they work great for removing Bugs!!

Eddie Costco flyer in today's mail they have the DJI Mini 3 Drone on sale for $100 off now $299.99

Eddie I have the DJI Mini 2 Series About half the price if you can do without the 4K video still takes great videos for viewing on the Web or PC. And due to size no license required and pretty much fail safe for beginners!

Setup Windows to sign in as a Local Account and not Microsoft and then disable One Drive.

Well I can say I fix more problems caused by 3rd party anti virus software than the software itself fixes. But then again that's only 35 yrs in IT.

Drew why do you need more than Windows provides? Never had a problem well except fighting with 3rd party Anti Virus software.

Lock Screw for 3 point height adjust?

He is going to have a second story I think is why the lower head room

My roll ups are above my door opening these pictures they show not so much..

The only thing I see is these appear to take up quite a bit of head space when open?

Don I believe it would be the Black cable on the Router that would go to the Modem.

Top right Screw is not correct just sayin..

Drew the last 3 days we have been unable to have our HF Nets as we could not hear anyone on the air! Propagation is terrible.

BEF I woke last night to the sound of thunder How far off I sat and wondered Started humming a song from nineteen sixty-two

Drew sorry you have to cancel your RV trip.

Drew, Any update on the Hot Tub?

Maybe it's time to block her from your site?

Drew email them to yourself?

Ham Radio Still Works

Verizon still working here Tucson,AZ

Drew will that last a week?

Drew I have one of these and they work great been using it for years.. https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Heater-A323000-Buddy/dp/B00AAJM6PS

Mac Linux? They all have their problems IMO. Are you by the Naval Air Station?

Cold Today

Eddie if it will help I can send my Old Boss your way he was great at spreading this!

Happy New Year to all the GM crew.

Merry Christmas to All. 18 degrees here and Frosty white.

Drew YouTube Premium no adds

Adguard Adblocker works here now adds it is a Firefox extension.

So you are saying we really do not have a shipping issue?

Nice way to pay it forward Drew the next 3 people to wash won't need to add soap! :)

Don a common software used for emergency comms is Winlink "RMS Express" this allows "emails" to be sent over the radio when the normal internet system is down. There are so many different things that can be done with the hobby is you wish to pursue them. I also enjoy building some of my own...

Don feel free to ask away I have been a ham for over 30 years. I am mostly involved in the Emergency Comms side of it. SHARES/AFMARS and Ham gateways.

Replace It

Are you going to stream music or radio station? I use a Bluetooth speaker as well can move it around to where I'm working. What part of North Idaho?

sorry for your loss Mostly

Drew on mine I need to hold the button down for a few seconds like I do to take off. You should have the RTH on the phone screen and also the button on the Remote.

Drew I have 4 machines here running 11 with no issues on any of them. A little learning curve but not much.

Drew no wonder your mileage is bad put a bigger exhaust on that V10. :)

I don't have the meter but I get a power bill an that Herz

Drew any update on your hot tub leak?

Drew on the screen you should have a button on the left you tap that and a window opens up with an option to "LandNow" and "Return to Home" hold that for a few seconds and it should work. DO NOT use Land Now of course.

Drew what is happening with the Hot Tub?

Drew I bought the insurance with mine it was cheap and offers full replacement if you lose it in the river or anywhere actually.

Clearwater Paper now.

Drew have you set your auto RTH altitude? And then update your home point?

So are these same Dogs adding to this manure pile that the OP is being sued for?

The Ford was aluminum body not sure if the new ones still are.

I would have to look to be sure but I believe it is around 6600#

Drew here are the specs on my Gas rig. The 6.4L HEMI® V-8 OHV engine with VCT technology that powers the 2022 Ram 2500 series can produce up to 410 horsepower. The engine also generates 429 lb. -ft. of torque, which allows the Ram 2500 to tow up to 17,540 lbs

I use dryer fabric sheets work great when wet to get the bugs off easy.

Drew any word on the leak in the hot tub?

Drew I towed my 30ft Grand Design with my 3.5L Ecoboost no problem had more than enough power. Stopping was a different story but doable with the trailer brakes adjusted properly and a good weight distribution hitch. My Ecoboost had the cam tensioner rattle real bad and Ford would not repair...

Condolences

Drew I have the DJI mini II SE 2.4k video compared to the mini II which is 4k. I didn't see the need for 4k as the file sizes are huge and my videio's are mostly viewed on the web anyways. Super simple to fly. My .02

Drew ebrake on??

Problem solved have them put in a nuclear plant instead of a solar farm I'm sure the neighbors would prefer this!

That is usually found in USB properties under power management. Rigby is about 7.5 hours from here. It is nice country around here.

buckeyefarmer have you checked device manager and properties make sure this is not checked.

Drew here is the pressure washer I bought for my foam cannon works good RYOBI 1800 PSI 1.2 GPM Cold Water Corded Electric Pressure Washer RY141802 - The Home Depot

Drew can you not change tips on your pressure washer?

Drew what about putting a couple Bicycle whips with the orange flags on your trailer to help see it?

Drew hopefully it won't keep cracking up above where there is a crack now.

Thread creeps?

I'm really not seeing what any of this has to do with the Topic Fighting 'Solar Farm' Installation

Drew what was the issue with the RV breaker?

If their property values went to nothing I would think their taxes would do the same and the neighbors would be quiet?

My wife looks pretty stable on mine! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Peter good question I used the voice search on my phone but I sure can't find anything using google. when I search PEX AB it comes up with radiant heat information and most point to Pex B

PEX AB is a type of cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe that is made from a blend of PEX A and PEX B materials. It is designed to offer the best of both worlds, combining the high temperature resistance of PEX A with the flexibility and ease of installation of PEX B. PEX AB is often used in hot...

Don sorry for your loss.

Camera for what?

Happy Birthday Drew! 🎂

Drew NAPA has a 2 part plastic repair that we used all the time to repair plastic pieces on forklifts worked very well and held up nice.

The answer is really simple A: move to Group B neighborhood or B: Cancel your subscription. Us complaining over and over again will not fix the problem.

Drew did you turn on the stove first to get air out of the lines then try the heat again?

Thanks Folks good info!

So if I was to get Starlink for Home can I still take when I am in the RV as well?

Drew why not a small motorhome and tow your car?

There is no purging the lines on Mr. Cool they are pre charge you just connect them open the allen screws on each line and you are ready to run!

I Ordered both of mine thru Amazon!

Boy I don't know Drew I can't imagine spending a lot of time in the bad weather in this awful small.

Merry Christmas to all the GM crew!!

Good Morning All 5 degrees here this AM still dropping with a high of 13 degrees today predicted.

Those must be the navigation lights on the balloons? :)

I did this I used regular insulation and 5/8 sheetrock to quiet our laundry room adjacent to our living room works great!

Drew it could have been worse it could have been the woman that did that!! :)

Happy Thanksgiving to the GM Group!

PJ will homeowners cover your losses?

You could pull the injectors and crank it over see if anything comes out. If it sucked water in there is a good chance it will not turn over now! By the picture it didn't appear to be much water where the tractor was sitting?

Depending on your climate you might consider a Mini Split you would get both heat and air that way and they are easy to install yourself.

Heck your single Drew bring the car inside for the winter!! :cool:

Drew maybe a Kubota BX series is what you need you could also get the mower deck.

RIP Roy prayers for the family.

Davis VP2 Also you could add the 6100 WeatherLink Live to the system if desired.

Good choice Drew fake plants and Fake Fish too those should last forever!

They say it will go down for 2023 about $5 along with the COLA of 8.7%

RIP Randy.

Drew I have been looking at this model also most seem to like it well enough.

Here ya go!! https://www.amazon.com/SCENIC-ROAD-Bucket-Hook-Latch/dp/B004CXE5DE/ref=asc_df_B004CXE5DE/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167147486560&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=446660665679346304&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9029529&hvtargid=pla-312053737356&psc=1

Drew you need to install a small mini split then you would have heat and air in one unit and pretty cheap to run!

So Drew are you suggesting use musicians come up with a solar plan to power our systems? Can't imagine starting the day without music to get you going!! From a few years back back still gets me up and moving!!

Drew what could go wrong!! (keep the phone handy) :-)

Drew what brand battery is that and do they hold up well?

Drew I'm sure it can be done. Checkout John's electric ride. He's a forklift mechanic.

Eddie My thinking is if it wasn't big enough it would have been slipping and not caused your issue?

My son was a LEO in Olympia and he walked away when all the defunding started back to be a mechanic!

What city is this about?

Drew would building 2 small ramps to back car up on help with the pitch?

Sorry for your families loss Kyle.

Not misspelled just my mind trying to auto correct I guess!

Great progress! Everytime I see this title I wonder what a 1973 Buick farmhouse looks like! :)

Have you been watching the Starlink thread they were talking about how to access the router via your browser I believe. Starlink

Still think your hose bib has a crack or something causing eveything to leak!

Sounds like a "bib" issue to me.. "I checked out the end of the bib and there seems to be no problem with that either. Seems everything I attach to it leaks."

Not sure but I did just find this panel just a shut off I think would work fine. It says non fuseable. Amazon.com: Cutler-Hammer DPU222RP Non-Fusible A/C Disconnect Switch, Gray : Industrial & Scientific

Quick question for those who know. I am installing a 110v unit it is on a 20 amp breaker having a hard time finding a disconnect with 20 amps most are 30 and 60? Would it matter if the panel is fused correctly @ 20 amps?

My dealer called and my Implements have finally showed up can't wait for delivery. (5 months later)

I have a card in mine and can download if needed but I just leave it go and when the card is full it overwrites the oldest saved info with new so no need to erase the card. Mine is Wifi only.

Try Reolink been very happy with them you can use via Wifi or you can get the cell option as well. I have the Wifi and they use a solar panel for charging so no wires at all mine is 500ft from the house and works great.

I disagree I like to watch the different styles.

It's on back order expected due date 60 days.

Drew are you thinking of buyer the same brand car again? With the dealers approach at solving your problem yesterday I would scratch that off my list just sayin..

State Population density 8.52sm My county 1.9sm we are the largest county in the state.

According to my wife relocating is NOT the same as getting rid of junk! :p

I am waiting on a Grapple, Brush Hog and a Box Blade.

Well actually that was before they loaded it for delivery when it got here it was dirty from all the road spray. [emoji23]
