Sigh, and all I had was a CB 1/4 wave ...... My father put up an obnoxious CB antenna on a mast that stood on the ground and ran up the side of the house. I took it down while putting on a new roof, left it lying behind the house, and one day it just disappeared. Someone probably stole it for the aluminum. [edit] It probably would have been useful with that 10M mobile, but I doubt I'd ever use it even with an antenna, and it made a lot of noise in heavy winds.

Back in 1975 or 76 I got my CB license. FCC was strict as the dickens back then to. Its been so long since then I cant remember my call sign. I might have the paperwork somewhere. Back inbetween layoffs at another job I drove the big rigs. Late at night CB radio was the only thing that kept me awake. It was a hoot talking to other truckers. The beer tastes good tonight. One of the machines that normaly is well behaved acted up. I dont know if it was temperature flucuations or an insert holder getting sloppy. [/quote] Old James |

The wires in the trucks are much better and Julie drinks finer beer.:)) Here I am talking about her when she taking the weekend off. :)) Here I am fighting windows 8 which I think sucks trying to go back to 7 that is a real trip. |

My father's call was KBBK1741. (Amazing how I can remember that 35+ years after it became unnecessary.) His handle was the Jolly Green Giant. I was the Chattanooga Kid. My grandmother was Groovy Granny. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Great Job Zappy, it took me 15 months to turn out 1 million. My 4 core machine worked it butt off. If everything goes right I sould break 2 million by next Feb sometime. Mine runs 24/7 so it really has to work. :)) Now if I can teach it how to crack open the beers I'll be all set. :)) Cheers |

Sorry Julie and all you folks since I don't see all these my type"O's" are many and I don't see them these days, but I will limp through it. :)) My old machine worked a whole year and turned out about 85,000 and thought wow your cooking but looking at others? it's like looking at a pimple at 10 feet. :)) Julie, I have to pay someone to bring me a beer, if you don't? your darn lucky. :)) But I'll drink with anyone that brings me one ... Cheers |

I started with a P1. Thought Id gone to rac heaven when I bought a P4 in 2003. Ran that machine right up to May of 2013. We crunch what we can afford. I too look at other macines and go WOW wish I could do that. Id love to build another machine, But thats off for 3 more years or winning the lotto. But heres a toast to all you for crunching.

After relocating my youngest son down the hill (near the Uni that he'll be attending this year) yesterday and spend some quality time with a lady friend I'm finally back home. I did stop in at the bottom pub for a driver reviver, but now I'm home it's Rum O'clock time before an early night. Cheers. |
