Subj : Re: VE To : Brian Rogers From : Daryl Stout Date : Sun May 30 2021 13:16:00 BR> Hello Daryl; Hi, Brian... BR> Nutmeg, which is our state's oldest VHF NTS net does indeed handle BR> formal NTS messages... into, out of, and through out the Nutmeg State. BR> There's a site done by the WMass group I think that explains it well. I know the Dallas/Fort Worth Net does handle NTS traffic as well. I'm not sure how many NTS nets there are. BR> I wonder if they're doing Boxboro this fall. That one is usually good BR> size and close to HRO in NH. Rob Macedo, KD1CY, usually goes to that one. He's the director of the VoIP Hurricane Net. Speaking of which, the 12z GFS run this morning (which goes out to 384 hours, which would be 12z June 15), is showing a potential hurricane along the Texas/Louisiana Gulf Coast region. That could mess up the Hurricane Conference planned for New Orleans in the following days. Now, some weather wishcasters (I can't stand these folks) will jump on this at this far out, and swear up and down that "this is what's going to happen!!". It has to get to 240 hours out (10 days) before the ECMWF will even consider it. Other models don't even go out that far. I use the F5 Weather site, mainly for comparison. I'm not a meteorologist, but an amateur weather enthusiast...but "I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!!" (hi hi). DS> To the insurance company, it's a catastrophe if they have to pay a DS> claim. BR> Of course! Lowers the company assets. And, if hurricane season really ramps up early (we've already had one storm in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific basin, but a lower than normal season is forecast in the central Pacific (Hawaii), that's going to tax them even more. These folks who live along the coast say "the danger with being hit by a hurricane, is part of the price you pay to live in paradise". To me, that's too great a price to pay. DS> Glad to contribute to your collection. BR> I'll let you add it to yours :) Now, I forgot what it was. I called a friend yesterday, and she asked me how my day was yesterday. I replied "It was Saturday, and that's all I remember". :P DS> And, for him, "oral sex" is when his wife screams "Screw You!!", he DS> yells "Bite Me!!". BR> Ahh yes! Have you seen the special he did in Ireland? He made a BR> character just for them... Baby Shaemus! Hysterical! No, I missed that one. I saw the one with Achmed and his son, and it was about the time Jeff was supposedly getting divorced. I don't know if he and his wife are still married, separated, or divorced. Peanut wanted to know how he got his wife pregnant at their age (he didn't think he had it in him, but I've read where some men are potent and fertile into their 80's (unless one has had their wings clipped). When Jeff said "I get to watch them take their first steps", Peanut laughingly retorted "And, they get to watch you take your last steps!!" :P BR> ROFL!! I'm sure the ventriloquist laughed as hard as the audience must BR> have. It's not as easy as it looks. Plus, you're constantly having to practice, and prepare new material. BR> Here... we say if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes. It's less than that in Arkansas...it's supposed to storm much of the week. That will mess up my nets and BBS work. And, as luck would have it, other things have gotten in the way of moving the BBS into the cloud. BR> ... Never say during sex: get off me, i'll do it myself!!!! Or the tagline below. Daryl .... How long do we have to practice sex before it's safe?? --- MultiMail/Win v0.52 þ Synchronet þ The Thunderbolt BBS - Little Rock, Arkansas .
