18:46 KI5DAY-ALLEN: man I have been noticed lately a lot of quick keying on the net,,, I think people think if they can just try and throw the call out quickly they wont be missed,,, I prefer the alphabetic and phonetic check in slowly cause its easy to hear those stations. I always check in now talking slow with alphabetic and phonetic.
18:47 KI5DAY-ALLEN: anyways,,,, probably not going to change anytime soon lol
18:49 KI5DAY-ALLEN: went to Luigi's in Skiatook today had some chicken fetticini alfredo,,, good stuff

18:51 KI5DAY-ALLEN: I have seen those new really small hardtops they make now that are about the size of a paper back novel. I might get one of those and get a second screen so I can have two screens in the music room like I used to have that is very nice
18:52 KI5DAY-ALLEN: funny how Microsoft made it inconvenient to be able to upgrade to Windows 11 on many pcs so you about have to buy a new one unless you are a computer guru who knows how to get past all that
18:53 KI5DAY-ALLEN: I really should find another pc source other than Windows,, Bill Gates is a real piece of work
