You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control for those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children can be your leader. Send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children fear and be a slave? the republic arise. Then the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, preserve our great republic and each god given right. Pray to God as I awoke he vanished in the mist for once he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now his parents trampled each god given right. We only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? the Hallmark Network on the Eastern Seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida, from the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico headed to Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to ink the recall state and preparing for war, of course, which is what they promised to do. Great job. Any other companies need to get the hell away from Denver and the associated Soviet areas and into security and be prepared to stay mobile. leave their sorry hind end behind. Anyway, uh, left coast, state of Jefferson, along with the rest of the occupied zones, which of course with the stench, the debris from the Steinism creates a dark across the landscape, the uh, hoodie trash, what they do, wherever they plot. Occupation there on the left coast, gonna have to fight through that and get on to uh, shoveling them off into the Pacific. We'll do our part from this end, you do yours. Turning back to the east, by the way, talking about this end of the country, we sweep across the plains, we'll leap over the extra wide banks of the Mississippi, mildly contaminated from what's going on up there in West Virginia through the Ohio River, fly us to Blue Ridge where the rest of the grammar team's OK teams and the Ma Bell Grammar Consortium over tired telecommunications workers bring us, make polite work a million Peddicoat Junction operators, continue to function when everything else. That means all of you need to participate though and to make it happen. Well, it is a beautiful bright day out there. We've got clear skies that cleared up over the evening. It was mildly dusting a little bit of really great lake effect. We had lake effects, no, first time we've had it in a few weeks. Most of our stuff is high altitude that we've had. This is the happy ski snow resort snow, the big lake effect fluffy and it's about all puffed up to an inch and a quarter, maybe an inch and a half worth of accumulation on top of a slicky slippery crusty icy snow. Oh god help if you're on skis. But actually if you're on downhill slope, you're very exciting skiing when the time comes. Painful though if you hit the ground because you don't have enough padding and a few knee pads here and there. So 21st of January it is the fifth year of open, oh forgive me, the sixth year of open, maybe in the social Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a 2014 Old Earth Calendar or Mayan Crazy Town Crazy busy month to say the least. We're already, well let's put it this way. If it's the 21st that means we've had three of survived thus far. You know what's really fun? Let me give you an example of doofies, you know the doofs that are like nothing we've ever seen. global war bang cooling cool punch up pictures last night I did this uh... for a man to kiss denigrate no nagar waterfalls partially frozen sometimes it gets fully frozen yeah but we're seeing what that truck guys looks like and well do a search here's a simple one communist google go to com block google and do a google search in images for nagar falls frozen over well one of the first pictures of pops in the middle of the screen the top of the many little columns you get including pictures are totally unrelated niger paul which is typically will stupid search okay uh... is uh... sure from nineteen eleven nineteen ten nineteen eleven freeze no it couldn't be possible that they have cameras back a hundred years ago is going out with the old anyway the point is a hundred years ago and all by the way the thirties uh... nagar balls because of all bitter but cold it up here in the north you know what there's no tomorrow it's not the new pictures because the new pictures really aren't well worked their cold or at least batch of way look what happened here but there are pictures with these people walking right out on the lower areas impact no point is for the water really cool with all the uh... the uh... ice build up the way it is and given such here but you would you're lucky just that one time we're out here in the year finally broke off with just enough stress because there were six people who decided to stand on that one piece of crusty ice that really cool fish are not so bitter but cold that there's plenty of ice there to stand on though but ice is a persnickety thing and the water underneath it is what sculpts when it's in motion when it's a always remember that there's ice here it's pretty thick let me bounce up and down to show you how strong it is see how embarrassing that is and because it's running water where you fall through it's isn't where you are in the next 3, 6, 10, 20, 30 seconds. You hold rapid water for a reason. The holes back there are 50 yards from where you fell in and you're going farther downstream. You better pray for a broken ice downrange real quick. Don't worry, your metabolism slows down when you're in cold water. So anyway, um, aren't new, but there are some pretty cool pictures so you can take a look at my egg, row, you know, my inch as we creep out onto the ice. I don't think so. Anyway, uh, projects. We're working on some micro-FM projects right now. I'm trying to get some stuff plugged in there. The new regimen, I understand we also had, I'll give you more on that. We've already been kind of, we're looking at it now, we're going to test some equipment and see what it does. But if it works out as expected, I'm pretty sure it will. A couple other micro-broadcasting technology solutions are going to be quite useful for everybody out there. A question last night, actually we were discussing the Antron 99s. about that and I will point out again guys the entron 99 if you've got one or somebody's given one away or wants to get rid of one grab them they're a simple radio mass but they're very well built very fiberglass resilient I've had one up for 20 years it got taken down in the tornado it survived the tornado which is amazing it was at the end of the house and the most interesting thing is the fact that the end of the mast which obviously would have been whipping you know when it was flat by the storm I think what it probably did with whatever hundreds or you know several hundred miles of velocity when it slapped the antenna it smacked something in the debris field as it started to move. The top of the mast, the last section exploded in all directions from the inside. I had to do the excavation here to work through the debris field to you know eventually get down to you know the driveway. It was gone but it turns out no the coax was there eventually found the coax to the mast, the mast was laying there. And other than having to go to the truck stop, actually, I didn't have one or two little fixtures of nuts screws, forgive me nuts, format nut for the base to replace one, it was oxidized, I just wanna leave it on it. I'll clean that one up and it goes into the spares, gets greased and goes into the spares, but I put a new one on. Other than that, I had a whole bucket of mast antenna components for different UHFDA extensions, the whole, Well I had a couple of end pieces exactly with the length of what I needed to replace what was on the tip that had shattered. And so the old one, which of course got to be careful, that was Fiberglass City Kids, Roddy, Stick You and Bite You and Poke You Shrapnel, put in the new one and already tested it and she works beautifully. The Entron 99s for what they are, they've been around a long time, they are kind of a CB legend. definitely worth the money for all of you out there who are looking at looking for a cb antenna that's going to be kind of a utility work antenna yes it can and that's the antron 99 so investment we're looking for that base station uh... single antenna that you know does everything for the most part that'll become in white i don't think they even offered them in black for a while uh... it's your choice if you want to camel a little bit not would be a bad idea of gray uh... battleship gray out there and maybe go with gray, green or green, take your pick. From above looking down, tree spike or tree spine color is a good idea. But remember also that you may be looking at from across or horizontally so you pick a color that's going to make sense for the environment. That's why the battleship grays or the utility grays aren't bad either in that it'll disrupt and create a fading effect with regard to how the eye catches it. Some places, just going to be a black silhouette, just can't help that. But the antenna itself, very Remember coax is everything to inspect your gun going up. Just way to armor coax. If you can't afford to buy the more expensive stuff. Half inch China Sport 10 foot sections of PVC pipe and joiners. Way to keep it safe. Zip ties you can use connector clamps you can use all kinds of things to go up the antenna pull whatever you got. To armor it. Half inch. Simple and ridiculous. If you're a smaller smelter, if you've got a bunch of them that's laying around. Well whatever floats your boat is cheap. Well, notice I'm very flexible on that because it's improvised, adapted, overcome. The money you save there, if you've got a whole pile of certain type, you maybe got for free the construction, business, sales, and the Antron 99, yes, that is a very happy camper thing. Take advantage of it. Now the other thing we're going to have to look at too, in addition to the Antron radios and antennas for the CB, was YAGGIs. You know, of course we call them YAGGIs. In CB jargon they're called BEANS. CB Yagi antenna array is a much bigger deal. I know everybody, I had several questions in the sent us emails here. Well, what about a Yagi antenna for CB? Well, we do have it. You've already heard about them. They're called beams. But because of the nature of AM radio guys and long wave, what we call a beam or what is it, tight little fixture looks like a little ladder with a single pole in the middle and lots and lots of little perpendicular bars. much much much much bigger when we're looking at CB. So you might want to do a little investigative research. No, there's not really any way we can compress those down a whole lot. But again, there are antennas out there. The A, the Yaesu, anybody who makes antennas typically will make a set of beams or makes at least one model of a set of four CB systems out there. However, there's also a lot of custom cutters that do antennas too. and many of them are famous but you know have come and gone so if you see somebody with a set of beams or maybe a house that's for sale uh... it would be who view especially leaving or moving out they're not knocking down or disassembling that antenna would be who view you see if you can have that a lot of times people really really we don't want them around or don't know what to do with them the same is true with satellite we've gotten hundreds of free satellite dish antennas those people bottom of the house and they just left them because they have to wait and they're not really worried about them although they would like to see them gone because they don't know what they're about and they think they're witch doctor science because educated in the public. Sadly enough that creates a very working knowledge. The tool has many of those viable tools stations all over the country. The bigger the antenna the better the collection. Certainly agree that if you got the Rick satellite that's great. You have a five foot, six foot, twelve foot satellite dish in the yard. It would behoove you. You could do the exact same thing with that big butt dish. You buy everything you need from Rick's satellite to get the job done. Whatever you might need. In fact, information even. Well, I've got this thing. We'll get the information on it, and then we'll go from there to find out what it's all about. Some of the equipment, and in most cases, you'll probably just need a box and some coax. The station in the Howardee Coast, perhaps, and the coax is actually the item. You've got to run three different lines of coax, but the tri-line coax has motor control. monitor the world so to speak. There are so many things that you can do with that, that are just once you pick it up. If you got it, if you got it online, you'll find out what I'm talking about. You can peruse the world and see things that nobody else will see. Bad guys are up to. Before we go to the bottom of the hour, I just got to put this in here. Henry from thetrenchesworldreport.com, from thetrenchesworldreport.com, from thetrenchesworldreport.com. I think it's still in the scroll here. Just wanted to go to this one because, well, things. It turns out, they're like, well, you know, there's a lot of people that have unique speech patterns and they're just like, well, you can't miss them, you know, but quick there is, you know, but they're up to. It's a combination of something like they want to be pushy while they're being a victim. Boy, I'm a victim. Give me your money. I'm a victim. It turns out that study men starting to talk like girls. Number one New World Order exerted from the BBC News. more young men in california rise in pitch at the end of their sentences when talking new research shows processes known as up top or all the good enough all veligrope omg like for sure like for sure and has in the past been associated with young female only omg like for sure uh... typically from california or omg ogle Well, now it turns out, I guess there's enough poofs that have been properly promoted through the, again, public pool system, guys. But now, a team says that this way of speaking is becoming more frequent among men. No way! Like for Thor. I'm a god. Well anyway, oh my goodness, I like... Oh, what a bar. Well anyway, the findings were presented at the meeting of the Acoustical Society of America in California. In California, huh? We found, let's see, found use of UpTalk in all our speakers, despite their diverse backgrounds in socioeconomic status, ethnicity, bilingualism, and gender. So the limp Pooka talk is going to be the norm, like we told you and warned you about, with California. Like, oh, oh, like, well, of course, like, we're special, like, don't you know? Well, let's let Amanda Richard, a linguist at the University of California, who led the research. See, we believe that Uptalk is becoming more prevalent and systematic in its use for the younger generations in Southern California, mostly queers a three-dollar bill. The team recorded the analysis and analyzed, forgive me, the voices of 23 native Californians aged 8. Well, stop here. There's tens of millions of people out here. This means you went to a certain part of the community, one part of the Faggot community, or one niche. 23 native Californians. 23? Best you could do. Okay, that's not a study. That's like a cursory butt scratch of the outer surface of a pimple on an elephant signed in. Between 18 and 22, we're not able to do a language pattern for Californians, this whole population. Sounding ditzy. Well, yes, it is true. They are sounding more ditzy every day. People who speak up talk are often misunderstood to be insecure, shallow or slightly down, according to the team, who say this was not necessarily the case. Speaking to the BBC's Inside Science programme, well this ain't much of an Inside Science programme and whoever the hell authorised this, this little significance, I'm sorry, 83 native Californians between the age of 18 and 22, that sounds like you went to a party! You went to a party! Okay granted, they do have poop to talk extreme and probably was a party in San Francisco. Like for sure. Oh my god. And it was a bunch of poops, they're all standing around and these male poops were all, oh my god, like for sure, and dressed or trying to do the cross-dress thing or trying to do the full she-fee or she-fee for the parasite on the shed that had negative connotations which made men less likely to admit to using it. Oh my god. And what was clear was that it was spreading, oh it did, through the party that night. We used all through that party with all of this together who, oh god, no, oh my, you know, oh my goodness, oh my god. Anyway, all I know about San Francisco is, well, confirmed in a 23 person study, a 23 person study. uh... this is what i talk about what i talk about which doctor science it's like and you surveyed you surveyed thousands of people right we've got a lot of the party we interview the people are really good to be doing ash oil if you know both enough and i i think i had four five red lines and then they broke up a really good bond and we all were like stone iron a car and on top of that well we were all what what a cross-section that would be you know so yes the uh... effeminate who goes around and sent a physical and other key locations with a sweet public pool system, yes, I'm sure it's getting worse, but a 23-person native Californian study, not a study, that's a party. So just a reminder, don't be surprised that if you don't hear any more of the California Girl Talk coming from people that you look at them a second time, find their light in the loafers and go, I'm really not surprised. Sun's shiny here, we got the sun breaking over the trees, we are headed towards the bottom of the hour break here in a minute or two. I'll remind you that for everybody out there, take the time and plug in to themicroeffect.com, themicroeffect.com, and the web page is worked on progressively over the weekend as we speak, so you should check out the page and then go right through the whole inventory there, guys. It's a new look, it's a little different page, and also added a few things in terms of broad, and you will find some interesting things you might want to check out and participate in, depending upon who you are and what kind of technology you have out there. So themicroeffect.com, themicroeffect.com. effect that is in motion here. More on that a little bit but just a heads up you might want to know where to pick up a KU band satellite dish from. And so when you do go to the micro effect, come take the time and plug into Rick's satellite. Go to the link and if you have any questions about satellite systems you may already have on the yard. Maybe you didn't know you moved in. Well I don't know about Mark. I don't know. Well a lot of people don't satellite. You know it's coming gone and coming gone. It's you know it had peaks of interest. like CB. So, take the time, get over to Rick's satellite, and guess what? Rick's satellite, that's what they do. So the cool thing is that you'll be able to talk to them and plug into satellite. Of course, welcome a call. You can also talk to them if you have questions. You want to talk to the man. That's what you want to do. Solution, and find the best price that meets your needs per wallet and the money available. And I know how that works too. You've got to come up with a system that makes sense for you in terms of expense. We appreciate that. Another thing again if you would like to send donations to the micro effect comm of course you can go to the donate key on the Micro effect comm or you can send the donation by snail mail the Joe McNeil PO box 164 Kami I Idaho 853 Joe McNeil PO box 164 Kami I Idaho 835 36 164 Kami I Idaho 833 to keep up and on the air this morning by the way. Roads are not really nasty here in Michigan. It's pretty cold. We've got cold dry out there right now. We make it a little bit of melt if it peaks up a little today but we've got cold air combined with clear sky so I think the temperature will be about equal to what they were yesterday. You see black on the road, it's ice. Figure that. You see black on the road. Something's gonna spill, we could have been a nice melt with some salt that's re-melted. You know that now, it's winter, it's been winter. There isn't anybody that can claim, this is us through a winter! We were caught off guard! Why? How were you caught off guard? You know, stupid that sounds, we were caught off guard. No, only stupid people who were in a box and had their head up their arse, good pop. Hey Janet, where are ya? I'm back in the bedroom. What in tarnation are you doing in the bedroom you're closed on? We got a train to catch. Aw man, I can't get motivated. I'm gonna slip 10 more minutes. Oh well, I figured I'd need this.

Everything that you've got that is typical electronic runs two ways. It runs off a wall socket. It runs off a mobile battery pack or power pack of some kind. Now they might be seen to be a little, shall we say, conspicuous when you have a power plug fixture, guys. This example is again the standard ashtray fixture has become the norm for actually hundreds and hundreds of different, you know the design engineer cycle and offshoots of this is common but you've got multi plugs, you've got multi gang jacks, you've got plug fixtures that allow for three or four of those ashtrays to be mounted into one ashtray or dash mount station. A lot of your vehicles like the old Dakotas and I don't know if the new ones do this, they should. fixture virtually in the dash where you lift up the latch. Congratulations you have a other fixture right there this little cover for it you have a fixture for a 12 volt ash tray type connector. Who of you to make up a bat kit a bat belt bag? Well if you're going to be using that type of equipment or into that might be kind of handy. You've only got one fixture one plug and you're not ready for it. A simple little utility bag with either big wall from the find fixtures some of the dollar, nicer dollar stores. They have a very extensive 12 volt connector system or along with television and telephone connectors you'll find that many of the independent stores but the independent dollars and they dig around and try to find what they can and amazingly enough if you go through there you'll find multi connectors. The 12 volt systems, extensions, converters from one system to the next which is also cool. might be useful to have in the kit just looking for a handful of either pennies at the dollar store or a few dollars at the dollar store or a handful of pennies at a yard sale if you keep patiently collecting. You have a pretty decent fixture system in place. Extend the distance from the dash to another part of the car or support equipment as you run into the material and support that might be handy for yet other purchases, other sales, whatever you run into. Male and female In addition to that, if you do put a kit like that together, let me remind you, a cheapy dollar store of snippers slash needle nose, bowls of electrical tape, a handful of, and literally a handful of mixed sizes of wire nuts, small and large. Now the reason large, well, the big ones you throw will work. I'm not gonna do any industrial house wiring. Well, that may not be as far fetched or crazy as you might think, because if you look under the hood, to do any reconnecting or if you've got something you need to splice or if you've got something you might want to hook up to another existing wire fixture. You've got some pretty good gauge wire under the hood you didn't necessarily realize and you bring two of those together in a conventional gauge wire nut for the larger gauge wire, probably going to be a good idea. So having it and not needing it is not a problem. That doesn't mean a Mr. Electrical tape and twister doesn't work. why not make it a tad more secure and reliable so that when the car is bouncing around it doesn't disassemble or come apart. Now, needless to say, you can also, for those who are going to say, oh Mark, oh I saw everything, well fantastic, get to it, that'll be great. But, you and I both know that in the field, something may go wrong or something may need to be adapted and having the parts and pieces there is really, really, really a good thing. Now, there's also, if you still can find these, and they're not as common as they used to be, belt connectors. the old bell telephone system when it was copper wire. There are a lot of scabbard slash push fixture types that will bring smaller gauge wires together quite comfortably. This is especially cool because there are three-way and four-way splitters that allow you to do a lot of unique things with power supply, especially with 12-volt. Keep in mind that if you pay attention, look around. These are fast fittings. In other words, you put the end of the wire in one station uh... one spot you laid in their pocket in their actually poke the other two and push down and you know snap the uh... picture together and what it does it bear everything books are going together great for the trying to put together a trailer and uh... maybe a radio rig in the process they radio no communications i've got a total of our supplies can be shared with question you know total batteries from the car the power from under the hood uh... bigger the truck more likely doesn't have one battery got to matching up we still the m trucks with the old, the M880s and the 890s, batteries under the hood, the motor, designed for the purpose of, that's right, to create the energy for the radio rig in the back. All of it was, you know, rounded down to prevent any background noise, etc. Just mimic what's already been built, you don't have to try to figure out how do I do this. Take a look at some of the other equipment. In fact, if you're really curious about this stuff and you go, Mark, I can't afford an old military truck or like an M880 or an 890 or an M770. What you have to do is go any of these meetups or military events where you have reenactors. So good for you, you can look at them all day and go, hmm, I can do that. Or hey, that does make sense, that wasn't that hard to figure out. And amazingly enough, one of the things I really used to laugh at was with the M890 trucks guys is that you could jump yourself. If your battery on your operating side for the truck went down, you had two more 12 volt batteries on the other side of the inside the engine compartment and you literally could run a jump over to the other battery and get yourself started back up and at least get down the road. So again kind of cool there in that respect and plenty of transport space under the hood with the older trucks especially because well you didn't have all the pollution thrown on it some, but most military trucks, all that was cold. So the systems work efficiently and offer a lot of space. If you match what they've been doing, amazingly enough, you can do the same thing in a very short period of time. And in fact, you can even buy the fixtures of the belts and everything else off the shelf or the original US military variants, much complication at all. For mobile power supply, for all that radio equipment or for all those rigs you wanted to hook up. Also again, a lot of the new, new stuff I will point out most anybody's going, well Mark, why federally, well all the older gear, well you know why you should even say that. But if you go with the newer equipment, the more efficient radios as far as for more consumption, needless to say, you can still have all these joiners connectors, but not really have to do more supply. Other than make sure you've got a clean output and again, a deeper battery, a deeper cell battery so that you've got the ability to put out more when the time comes if you start using all your equipment left, right, up and down. something that needs to be remembered too. So, not keyed up from constantly using once you start actually applying these things to replace communications for local civilian operations, be putting all these radios online, we're not going to be isolated. In fact, at Hallmark and the Golden Spike projects, we hardline with copper wire casing fiber optic, the first generation fiber optic, piles of the stuff around. for instance microwave, point to point communications, laser, there are even guys who have experimented with them and played with laser. That's again one of the, that's a temporary bridge because laser has some thermal people don't talk about but because it sounds cool for Star Wars and for Space Age technology but the equipment itself is what actually is going to build up calories. Everything does. I don't care what it is, it's electronic. Using it nonstop, remember you are going to have to shed calories. You're going to have to shed heat. Pay attention to some of the ideas from people already come up with where they've demonstrated. Then you're not going to have a problem running equipment nonstop. Now one cool thing is a lot of the data streaming technology that's out there that's in wireless or radio and FM for instance and others, they were designed for nonstop streaming. I mean come on people, people are hooked up for games, they're hooked up for internet, they're running nonstop. It's a 24-7 thing. So the equipment actually is pretty durable. Will it limit? Will it run? Have they tested it until it Well, somebody has. What we need to do is more background on that. But again, if need be, we're going to be the ones testing to fail some of this other equipment. We're going to give you feedback and let you know, well, how well does this stuff, how effective is this at serving another purpose? I don't think there'll be any problem with that. Most all of the equipment that's presently been developed, the biggest issue is for as long as it runs and for out of the box, it's a reasonable price. When it's broken though, it'll probably be, that'll be finished. When something really bad goes wrong with it, simply because time and money. You have money for part, you know, the time it takes. Now, as we get poor and if the system goes, we're not gonna throw anything away. You can throw the microtech away. Because there's any possibility of salvaging it, it goes into a downbox, it gets marked for the problem, what happened to it. Back to it and resurrect it, fine, if not, see, you never know. It'd be also great to at least put on a dummy. If the piece of radio equipment doesn't work, put it up on that very realistic 89% correct dummy. going to be the bullet magnet that is going to be used for that's what we don't throw any old uniforms or old gear that you know is messed up or got burned or got warped or it's not pretty close up. When the time comes stuff it put it on the dummy put the ski mask on the dummy pair of razor glasses everybody has to wear nowadays and you know what I'm a long distance little candle for heat inside the torso of the uh... general creature you've created high confidence target that somebody will waste some time on little detail things are there to include radios and other things that are on the outside. Again, all Punky Junk stuff doesn't have to be real real super accurate guys. Just good enough so that they focus on the target. Yeah, it looks like a high-confidence fire. And that's ministerial they've wasted and they've exposed them and you go and deal with hunting them. So anyway. Other things about the power supply cables and such, remember, obviously some are more equal than others. China Sport has different grades of China Sport. You've known this for a long time. We always joke about their between Polytech and Norinko. Polytech is Oldsmobile. Norinko is Chevy Pontiac. They explain it. And communist China has different grades of junk. Even their junkiest junk can be made to work, but the idea is that, for instance, out of 100 pieces coming out of the box, 3 to 5 grade will not work well or not work at all grade one out of 10 or one out of 7 will not work. Everything from mini cool refrigerators to electrical cut out of the box. It's just the nature of the beast and so hard. They want to crank out the stuff because they want to set up and go to another project. So whatever they're doing, they minimize labor and they minimize the time so you don't get the best king at volume. One of the things to remember, this is why having backups to backups to backups That's why you pick up, if you're buying new and you get a real great price on something, buy three. What it is I've talked about on the air here, I'm quantifying the, and I'll qualify this, it's not that it's gonna be bad out of the box. For most of the work that we do, like scopes, and we talk about scopes and say, hey, buy three. If they're a China sport or Russia sport, Romanian sport, they're made by countries that are one step away from having, well, some of them have been away from slavery a little bit. Step on them and there's really not a whole lot of difference in terms of the quality. A lot of war-suppack quality stuff was higher because it was built like a brick-dog house and just heavy and crude. Not bad. Take heavy and crude, if crude works every time, and you can take a beating out in the field. But I'll still pick up three of them because I'm going to an environment where there won't be any more deliveries. No more UPS, no more FedEx. Nobody's going to show up to, hi, I'm going to risk my life to deliver this package. It's worth $3.49. That ain't going to happen. OK? so if you can buy a piece of equipment for twenty seven ninety five like uh... you know rifles go and if you buy three of them are nineteen ninety five not the same thinking object but you just saved almost ten dollars well it's worth it to buy the three because you know what the scopes because obviously what decided weapon abuse that weapon with that scope that built a lot of uh... experience time into that guys i've got muscle memory most of it's second nature you just automatically use a piece of equipment. Well if you have to change out to a totally different system then you have a lot of things you have to overcome with old memory versus new system technology. If you have three of the same scope you could and something happens to it or finally tires out or you want another weapon to the inventory all of your optical sensory processes are identical. That is a big plus over the idea that well I got this super 28 power and blah blah blah well anything off the enemy's corpse as I can find and I'll take whatever is given to us as a, you know, again, support by our allies. But I'll move that over into a special niche category, that super-duper scope, where the weapon system that I presently am using in that shooter have developed a level or a skill level with that particular system that has put them into the perfect niche. I want to keep them on that track. Now, with regard to radio and signal communications, what we've talked about is replacement because of wear and tear and battle damage now wear and tear sounds weird because of the other market gets around behind the radio microphone while you're operating it no you're just moving but everything has only so many flexes in it and it dies now in some cases with cold solder and with the cheap processes that are used there are weak points this is something we've talked about like with microphones if i were going to be actually going to the field I'd probably, if I didn't have anything else, I'd break up Mr. Electrical Tape and any place where I have a fixture, I would give it an extra plug back along the line. Oh, that's a lot of work. Well, I'm a radio operator. It's my job to make sure all my equipment works. And if it doesn't work, I end up dead with the rest of my crew. So, you know, you'll get with the people I'm running with. So it would behoove me as an RO to make sure that I go over my equipment, also inspect all the coax, all the cable, brand new or used, and watch for cracks in the plastic or whatever. If I don't have any goop to actually go right over cracks or damage to lines, it will bond very easily. Now even if I use that in this day and age, I would still do a tight wrap electrical tape on that fixture. That's why. It's a weak spot. Something's wrong. I don't need the line compromise creating feed problems or creating a that's right at ground or something like that at the wrong time. But also again, remember if I'm bouncing a thing around in a vehicle, if I'm carrying it in a backpack, especially if I'm carrying a backpack or carrying it in my person and there's plugs, as I move, I am moving that piece of equipment. And if I move consistently the chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk, chunk, well, how many of those chunk, chunks do you do in one mile? How many of those chunk, chunks do you do in 10 miles? How much, how many repetitions? before you create some kind of wear or fracture or break take place. Not if, just will. It's a matter of things. Well, the idea is to minimize that by armoring or ruggedizing the equipment. There's a number of different ways that can be done. The little plastic goop stuff we've talked about before, if you don't have that, I'll tell you what, any place where you suspect a possible leak issue on upper surfaces, bathtub caulk is priceless. Bathtub caulk will get a lot of, you know, will cover a multitude of sins. A lot of you guys pick up solar equipment. Bathtub caulk, by the way, also comes in colors. So if you're going to be buying it, obviously the cheapest for the most is, but you know, you can get it in just like conventional caulk. You can get them in olive green. You can get them in earth brown. You can get them in savannah tan. You can get them in gray, almost any color you want. Which means you have tactical colors for all this cool stuff that's out there. Now, with the Bathtub Caulk it's no different. Why? Well, because there's different grouts and stuff that are involved. You can pick up a color that's gonna kind of stay subdued. You know, clear actually reflects a little bit. Like a cheapy, real light stick. Actually does, or can draw attention to something to think about. Whereas, where it's opaque and it's in a color, it blends in with the rest of your tactical support. and everything is fine. It'll work out just fine for you. So just something to think about there. And again, around solar panels, for instance, if you have a solar panel fixture that has a rubber mount or it's a hard plastic mount, I highly recommend that you do a bead right around that crack before you take yourself out into the field. Why? That's the most common compromise point, not only to your solar panel, but any other electrical support on that piece of equipment. Rugidizing is especially critical for all of you field radio operators or you individuals that are going to be retreating that helps to ensure your equipment will still function because you spent a lot of money on it. Okay, it's just that simple. You invest it quite a bit into the process. Make sure it's protected. We're at the top already. Okay, it's the first hour. Grab that cup of coffee smell. Taste. Yes, God bless the Republic. Just the New World. We're under Michelle Breville. Ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is on the run. We're in a march. Kick him in the slabs, beat him down hard, make sure your electronic equipment is properly protected, and make sure that you got backups and spares. We'll be back just a little bit. Second R's Intel report's coming up here in just a little bit. Meanwhile, be careful. If you've got to get out there on the road, it's... Ladies and gentlemen of the class of 97. Where? Sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. Long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice to enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they fail. But trust me, if you look back at photos of yourself, and when all in a way you can't grasp now, how possibility laid before you, and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are absolutely things that never crossed your world mind. Kinda blindsides you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing every day that scares you. Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people you're reckless with yours. Don't waste your time on television. Sometimes you're ahead. Waste as long. Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you're old love letters. Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40. Maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much. Or berate yourself if your choices are half chance. Or everybody else's. Enjoy your body. Don't be afraid of it.
