Wednesday 2M/Zoom Net - 28 September at 8 PM - SUMMARY
Hi,
We had eight attendees. One on 2M and 6 on Zoom. I was on both.
Good conversation and interesting stories.
The best joke (suitable for my grandkids).
A friend wrote a book about the wind.
but it was only a draft.
Others that I thought were amusing:
40 is the new 60
but 9 is the new midnight.
How do you milk sheep?
Make a new iPhone and charge $1,000 for it.
How to get rid of junk during the holidays.
Put into an Amazon box and leave on your front porch.
Guy went into a auto parts store and asked for a longer oil dipstick.
The counterman asked why.
Because the current dipstick did not reach the oil!
What do you call someone who saw a crime at an Apple Store?
An i-Witness.
That's all for this week.
Remember that next Wednesday is our in-person meeting at the Sheriff Substation in Sterling. Starts at 7.

Wednesday 2M/Zoom Net - 21 September at 8 PM - SUMMARY
Hi,
Ten people attended the meeting. One on 2M, the remainder on Zoom.
I cannot remember a good joke from the meeting. My piece of paper with the good ones written down on it has vanished. I do remember one, however, I am not sure I want to put it in this email.
Why did the duck cross the road?
It did not want to be called a chicken!

Wednesday 2M/Zoom Net - 14 September at 8 PM - SUMMARY
Good Net as always. 10 Zoom check ins. We did not have a 2 meter net controller (Paul was in West Virginia working on his driveway)
Some good jokes. Here is one that was not said last night but I am sure Gordon will tell this to his XYL:
I asked my dog what was 2 minus 2..........he said nothing"

Monthly Meeting Wednesday, 7 Sept, at 7 PM - SUMMARY
Hi,
Good meeting at the Sheriff Substation. Six attendees. We took a good two hours talking.
Unfortunately, the two soda bottles left over from the previous meeting were not opened and therefore will still be on the menu for the next meeting. HI HI
I think a lot of people missed a good time.

Monthly Meeting Wednesday, 7 Sept, at 7 PM
Hi,
It is time for our monthly meeting. In person at the Sheriff's Substation in Sterling. We start at 7 PM.
Refreshments will be provided by Gordon, NQ4K.
As in the past, our first meeting will be a "Show and Tell" and "Treasure Sale." Everyone should bring something to talk about. Maybe a piece of interesting equipment or something similar. If you have an item you want to sell, please bring that also. Maybe your junk is someone's must have treasure.
We have a few items of club business. We can review the 2020-2021 Activity Calendar. And we can discuss Sterlingfest Special Event Station.
We also could have a Tech-Ten-Talk at the end. But we need volunteer to talk for 5 minutes and answer questions for 5 minutes.
73, and see you at the meeting,
Gordon, NQ4K:

Hi,
Ten members and guests participated. 78 on Zoom. 2 on 2M repeater, and 1 on both.
My computer was giving me trouble so Kevin, W4KLS, took over net control half way through the meeting.
No good jokes, or at least no good jokes that I want to put into an email.
Remember next Wednesday is out monthly in-person meeting at the Sheriff's office.
