1. Family 2. Work 3. Friends 4. RUclips tell the jerk that complained that these are your priorities and get his own channel. 👍
Yep, 4 is so entitled 🤨 we are getting top tier content for free here
Thanks, I am sure he meant know harm in the comment. But some of the others were quite rude. They are now on the outside looking in :)
Your personal life and issues and family come first! I appreciate every video you create and upload. You have taught me so much. Thank You!
Glad I can ,make a difference. Thanks!
That kitty 🐈⬛ is a good judge of character 😊
Agreed!!!🐈
Quality is far more important than quantity. I’ve learned a lot from your channel. Your life and your family come first! I appreciate your channel.
Hang in there Buddy. I sure enjoy the videos WHENEVER they come out. Life has a habit of getting in the way of hobbies and other interests, and that will continue even after retirement. I found that out.I am glad you are feeling better and getting over some of the effects of the hurricane. Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences. Try to take time for yourself and family. Regards, another senior.
Most appreciated Bill and thanks for watching
Very good video and audio quality with a very small system. It's a keeper.
Your cat really likes you. 'Nothing wrong with that. I volunteer at a cat shelter and try to make 'em like yours.
Don't worry about us. We'll wait and we really enjoy your videos. Living rural like I do, I know what you mean. I had eight very old oak trees uproot last winter and I'm still working on them. Free heat though 🙂 I retired a while ago from one of "those computer companies". 'Love it. Don't fear retirement. It opens up a new world.
73's.
Great to hear you’re feeling better. Take care of yourself and your family.
Will do and thank you
Good video Buddy. One a little off the beaten path . I enjoyed it. I too have 15 months to retirement. But I'm retiring at 62. God's speed !
Thanks, nice to just do something a little different at times. May do more of these. Good to hear about the retirement! Good on ya !
It is all good Buddy. You stay healthy and we are not going anywhere.
Thanks you
ALTON, What you do to help others out, your knowledge is priceless. The time it takes to do a video and then edit the video takes a lot of time. Reading and answering the hundreds of emails takes time. Thank you, RUclips is a side option, family and your health comes first. God Bless. Eddie kj4fgi
Just glad you're okay, take care of yourself before anything. Will just wait for transceiver repairs when they come...
Most appreciate the comment. Thanks
Good to see you out and about Buddy. I completely understand how you feel about being the age you are. I'll be 72 in December, but in my mind nothing has really changed since I was much younger. Other than typical old people aches and pains, I really can't complain too much. Hope things will get better for you soon. :)
I feel the same, in the mind lol. But still able to get stuff done. I would have never thought you were 72. Thanks for the comment.
A senior coke?!A life changing event! LOL Been there and understand. So very sorry you've been unwell. It not only effects your abilities, it changes your attitude about everything around you. Buddy, all the best from your friends!
Yep, senior coke, Funny it tasted the same as the regular lol. thanks for commenting.
Being sick is not fun. Glad to have you back
Very true. Thanks
Glad you are feeling better now Buddy!! We have missed ya, but, take care of yourself and family first! Thanks for the update!!
Thanks Scott
Hope you're feeling better Buddy! we enjoy your videos! Had the same problems with my roof and put back a metal one.
I think the metal one will be less work for maintenance. Sure is easy to install. Thanks
Thanks for the update..... i know how it is i'm 67 going to be 68 in december .. not much of a talker take your time get well...
Thanks for stopping in and commenting.
Good to see you again Buddy. Glad you're helathy now! Wish I could say the same...
Thanks, Hope you get better my friend. Take care of yourself.
Retired when I was 65 from electrical maintenance and then started my one man electrical contracting business. Now 71 and still working part time. Have to do something and keep busy. Nice place you have there and great job on the roof.
Good to hear you are still at it and moving along. I just hope I make it that long 🙂 I think I will have plenty to do. Thanks for stopping in.
Hey Buddy, my dad always use to tell me " it's hell getting old, but it sure beats the alternative. hope you feel 100% real soon. The video quality is great, and yes the mic is directional, however the audio is so clear, I could tell what type of tires the cars driving by were rolling on. Beautiful roof.
Glad you are healing up well. The roof looks great, expect a few neighbors to request an estimate to repair their roof 😂. Producing a RUclips video is more work than some people think. Keep the second channel, it's not going to disappear if you don't post to it.
Ugh, the truck engine rebuild will be fun. The video and audio are fine. Yes, you will get used to senior discounts really quick 😎🍻
Thanks Mr B. And already has one ask about the roof help. Another stopped by and said "I did not know you did roofs", I said I dont lol. Appreciate the feedback my friend.
Well.... my friend I thought about this overnight before I posted this so...... We are very fortunate to share some of your life challenges or rather adventures.. Weather it being radio or cars. I'm sure there's a lot more..... We pray that you find the energy to continue... Stay well my friend .
Thanks for the very kind comment, many blessings!
Good talk. Nice to hear from you.
Thanks
All the best to you and family, Buddy! Nice video! 73 de Olaf, Germany!
Completely understandable, Buddy. I don’t know how you manage to crank out any RUclips stuff working your real job as much as you do. The quality of your content is excellent so when you are finally able to retire RUclips should make a very nice supplement to your retirement. Hang in there.
Thanks you sir. Yep life is busy. You know I have many videos I never posted because they just did not come out like I wanted them to. Quality is key for a good video. Thanks
Nice lil walk around the yard .... I thought I was older than you , ahhh you only got me by a couple few years..... Take Care Mon Ami..
Audio is real good, Nice tonal response on the mike,, nice warm sound! Video quality is nice and crisp good color rendition also!!! The metal roof is the best way to go and will last a lot longer!
Good to see you feeling better !! Hope to see you soon again. 73's from John at KC2UVN !!
Thanks for the report John. This is what I like to hear. I am going to play around with several mics on this setup. I like the shotgun mic because it does not pick up a lot of back ground noise, but I have to remember it is very directional. Thanks again,
Good update. I have a 2008 Xterra and starting to have similar problems as well. Really enjoy your channel as I am trying to learn radio repair.
Mine has 200k on it and is a 2005. This is my third one, I like them. Honestly have not had much trouble with this one until recently. Thanks
Doing a roof that size by yourself is pretty impressive, great job 👌
And now rebuilding an engine? Nice
Not bad for an old man huh lol. Thanks, It has taken me several weeks to get this far but only work on it a few hours at a time.
@@____________________________.x Yep, I cannot count how many I have rebuilt My biggest was a 1100 HP race engine. If you go back on my videos about two plus years I did a series on rebuilding the transmission in the mustang. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the update. I hope you're all better now. I've heard it said that Nissan's have head gasket problems when they get some miles on 'em. God bless ya. Cheers from eastern TN
Thanks my friend. Yep heard the same as this engine is used in the pathfinder also.
It's the first time I got to see you after so many years of watching your videos, and to me... you look very much like Robert De Niro! BTW, I love your videos anytime you upload them, thank you!
That roof will make a nice ground plane :)
I agree, plus it is a steel roof and not aluminum.
I know where you're coming from about not having time. I'm in my 60s and had to retire because of health problems. I don't know how I got anything done when I was working. I have so many projects I want to do, but don't have time. Something is always more important. Hope your roof is done now. I've been working on our vehicles trying to get them ready for winter.
73,
KX3WXU
It takes a lot of time from working which pays the bills, being ill ( glad you're better now), doing a roof ( holy cr*p) and all
at a time of life when you should get some time to sit back a relax a bit. You shouldn't worry about your viewers needs but
your own Buddy. Just set up one channel with subdivided video sections like Unboxing Goodies, Product Reviews, Radio
Repairs, Mechanical Work, etc. Sorry about the old Nissan SUV needing a rebuild on the engine. Heck of a good flap! Stay
well man . Steve
Thanks for that comment Steve! Seems I do I lot of different things but it is a good mix and keeps the mind sharp. Great suggestion!
Safety, Sanity, First!
Agreed!
Nice job on the roof!
Thank you
That was me that said I was disappointed that your videos were so far and in between.im fairly new to your channel but enjoy your videos very much. But I didn't realize you worked full time as well, I feel bad , and meant no disrespect And apologize for the poor wording of my comment, I'm 74 years old myself and I guess I just assume everyone else is retired as well, anyway looking forward to any videos you put up ,your friend from Canada. TERRY
Terry, It is all good so dont feel bad. I just used your comment since it was one of the nicer ones and not like some of the others I have recently read. Trust me if I had the time I would do several videos a week, but it is just not there. Even getting time to reply to comments takes a lot of time. Thanks for joining in and mostly for your comment.
Enjoy your videos, glad you're feeling Better! Don't push yourself, take your time with videos .Looking forward when you can retire and go into RUclips maybe a little more! GOD Bless!
Most appreciated
Good to see you Buddy and thanks for the update. 73 - Dino KLØS
Thanks for stopping in Dino, ready for that long coffee break!
Thanks for your update anyone with half a brain knows that sometimes things sorta come up at once and we get to hunker down and circle the wagons! Good luck and make it a good day73's for now de WT0V
Audio and video both good!
Thanks You
Video quality was good, audio in the first few moments was lacking but then came up and wasn't bad at all. Have to say you have a nice place. Buddy I'm always looking for your next video and know that life is busy so I wait silently and am excited when you post a video because you are a top notch radio repairman
Thanks for the report. Have to remember just how directional this mic is. Thanks for the kind words, constantly working to make it look better.
Glad you're feeling better Buddy and making progress. Personally I'm always excited when you post a video, those of us who also juggle our hobby with our life fully understand when things come up and you can't be as regular as you'd like. Just keep doing what you're doing, whever life lets you do it, and your loyal subscribers will be here ready to lap it all up. Just one question - was that your antenna in the background when you were by the car? Maybe you can do another walkabout and tell us about that?
Thanks my friend. The big antenna is the HyGain TH6DX. There is also a Butternut laying on top of the shop. The 50 foot tower holds a 10 through 80 meter dipoles, on the top is a 10/15/20 meter rotatable dipole , a 10/11 meter vertical, and a broken 6 element 6 meter beam. There is also a 2 meter and 70 cm Texas potatoes masher up there. I have various antennas laying on the roof, 12 element VHF for oscar, 60 element UHF with folded dipoles for oscar. Plus many more. Will have to video all that one day.
NICE place.
Well thank you
Glad to hear you are on the mend after that flu bug gotcha. Retired when I was 68 and been loving every minute of the day since then. I'm sure you will find the same thing. 73 de K7RMJ Frank.
PS... Used to have a cat exactly like yours. She was also a "socks Tabby" and was also named Miss Kitty after the character Amanda Blake played on the old Gunsmoke TV series. We won't go into why here, though LOL.
Thanks for the comment Frank. Don't want to rush it but ready to retire. Miss Kitty. I can only imagine lol. Take care my friend
Take it easy Buddy, or you ain't gonna see retirement friend.
Take time for your self.👍
My mind thinks I am still young. Thanks
Feel better
Feeling much better now thanks
Hi buddy!
Hope all is well. Hey you once told me that a dummy load would work as a receive antenna for a 2nd bench radio to test over the air. Was that just a 50 ohm dry dummy load no oil?
Your microphone is very directional. The audio was good as long as you kept the mic pointed directly at you. When you pointed the mic away from you, the audio volume dropped off significantly.
Thanks for the feed back. I like the mic but going to try a few more. Thanks
Buddy the audio is good
Thanks
my sister has the same xterra and had exactly the same problems as you, bad head gasket and head was warped
I used a bore scope to look in the cylinders. It exactly what I thought it was. After reading this is a common problem with high milage Xterra's. Thanks for sharing.
You’re like me. You have to do everything yourself. There is no help
Funny I had many folks said sure I will help.....cricets lol.
man, you are quite photogenic, look a bit like De Niro... no offense, lol
Well thanks and No offence taken!. If I had a dollar for every time I heard that...... Was in a Chinese restaurant one day and the two guys were pointing at me and talking to one another. They finally came up to me and said the same thing. My wife laughed lol.
hi
Hello
Do you sell radios what your number im looking for a used rig thanks
no way a person should just show up. wow..
Yep, I was surprised. But it has only been one time.
yeah well i would like my TS 940 updated but would never just show up. lol.. hope all is well. love the 101 series too. never had one. but a friend did. back in the CB days lol
@@TheRadioShop
Nissan makes CRAP! Just as my daughter. As you mentioned, that mic. is way to directional.
Guess I have been lucky. My daughter had a nissan that was crap. This is my third Xterra and have to say they did ok. Fist two traded at 75k, had this one since 2005. Going to try a few different mic
