Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice with vacuum talk

That could’ve been ugly. Good catch!

 

Thanks! Saved it to Google maps as a restaurant to check out.

Is that the Chippewa River? Anytime I'm on HWY 70 in that area, I always look over at the river and think about how nice that area would be for kayaking.

Man, I need to do more fishing this year!

 

North fork of the mighty Flambeau, a mile or so upstream from the fun rapids.

 

I get so paranoid about forgetting to tighten something, that I usually go back 3 or 4 times after and still feel like I forgot something.

 

Same here and yet I still forget some!

 

Yeah, I’ve gotten that sense that many ham operators are “unique.”
I suspect some would only help out if you can provide a sworn notarized statement that you’ve never used a GMRS radio without a license. But in the end, if there’s actually a need, I’m sure most would be happy to rise to the occasion.

 

FIFY

 

Forgot what?

 

Just smile and nod.

 

I do that a lot these days.

 

Quick and easy installation of this today. I didn't drill into the dash, just used strong velcro as I'm not certain about the position yet.



The antenna is a bit bigger than I was expecting. Not sure about this position either, but the mount came with a LOT of extra cable, so I have options. Someday when I get a roof rack I'm sure it will go up there.





Now I hafta do some learnin'! Read something about tuning the antenna, so I'm gonna check on that first and then start creeping on the airwaves.

 

Huh?

 

After being in bands for 20 years, I have to do this occasionally as well.

 

Damn is that ever a great looking hood!

 

For now I have the antenna on the roof and the cable out the back window.

Nothing is permanent. Tuck and go with the wires.
I'll hardwire it later.

 

That’s how I roll.

 

I re-routed my antenna cable this afternoon...meant to do it since I put the external antenna on and, well, never got around to it. My DMM has slots to route wires (USB/antenna) nice and neatly. So now, all you see of my external antenna cable is about 3" right by my cradle. And since I have a 3D printer, this evening I think I'll CAD me up a mount for the USB power adapter to mount it next to the head unit, behind the bezel, so that will be all neat too.

 

You and your fancy toy! 3d CAD!
