just a couple. What do you have Uh, I've got an Omega and I've got a, uh, generic three eighty, or four eighty-six machine. Oh, yeah? Yeah, it's very, very generic. What did you do, put it together? Yeah, and, and, uh, upgraded it and put things in there and dibbled and dabbled and now, now it's, now it's a fast machin...
Oh, yeah? What kind of programs do you, Uh, anything Okay, I mean like business programs or, Man. Uh, I've done business programming, you know, scientific applications like, you know, petroleum science stuff and, Uh, uh, test equipment and I did the, I, I did one that was, the demonstration of a touch, touch screen for...
It's like slow out the Yep, that will, that will, slow you up Huh? Well, I, I do, uh, uh, programming for C N C turret presses and uh, cat cam system type things Uh-huh. and, uh, really need a faster system. Uh, I got a new line that I, I sell metal fabricating equipment, and cat cam systems, and tooling, et cetera. Uh...
Uh-huh. And as they, And as they go to the next one I just keep the, Oh, that works. that's why I have so many different levels of P C around at the moment. Uh, here it is. A T S Computers. A T S? Uh-huh. And where are they at? Uh, do you know where, uh, Custer is? Oh, yeah. Okay, he's, uh, uh, south of Renner on, on C...
that's about Lookout there, I think, isn't it. Right, it's, it's, it's just south of there. Yeah. It's a little place, looks like a castle. Yeah. Kind of, uh, little guy in there. He, he, uh, gives reasonable prices. Oh. Like I, I traded my, uh, three eighty-six for the four eighty-six for about six hundred. Really? We...
Uh-huh, yeah. I used to, when I was putting shop floor computers together for guys, I'd go and get their units and put them together and go and interface the stuff with our systems. Uh-huh. Haven't been doing much of that for the last year or so. So I, I don't know where those guys are at these days. But I, , Uh, they,...
I, And boy that thing screams now. Yeah, I was kind of surprised how rapidly they bypassed, the three eighty-six. That wasn't alive for but maybe two years. Uh-huh. Well, I thought was funny that they kept pushing the three eighty-six S X even though the, the price difference is about ten dollars. Is that right? That's...
Uh. It wasn't one of those, it started out as a Sunday project Uh-huh and by, by the next Sunday it was done. It wasn't a one dayer. Believe me. Boy, that sounds like, uh, course, uh, I don't know, once you get it done, then you probably won't have that problem again. Yeah, it's good for another thirty years. Um, you'v...
Yes. and nothing wanted to go, so it was like I had to go all the way back to the main drain and start all over. And just start at square one. Really. Uh. That was an all day job, just to get it plumbed. Well, and then if you do it wrong Fortunately, I was very fortunate, uh, in the fact that, uh, when I made the insta...
All worked out all right, huh. How about you? Well, um, well probably the last thing I did was, uh, paint and wallpaper kids room Uh-huh. and, uh, I learned to, I used the wrong kind of paint. This wasn't, must have not been a very good quality, because it just hasn't stood up very well. What kind of paint? It was a la...
but it just kind of is, is, so, you know, so it's supposed to wash, you're supposed to be able to wash it Uh-huh. but it, um, just looks dingy. I don't know how else to explain it. What color is it? It's pink. Pink, okay. It's kind of got, uh, oh, just kind of a worn look to it. I don't know even how to say, just didn'...
We did, uh, oh, you do mix the color as far as you start with, uh, white and then they add the color. Uh-huh. Yeah. You know what I'm saying but, Yeah. But you only had one can of paint that you did the entire room with. Yes. Right. And then I wall papered a couple of walls, and, uh. How'd that go? Well, that was the f...
first of all it takes quite a few rolls, even a small room, if you're trying to match a design. Repeating patterns is what you have to check for when you, when you buy your paper. Yes. That's what I needed, and I didn't think about that. I got a Mickey Mouse print is what I got. Yeah. And so a lot is wasted. Normally i...
Is that how you're supposed to do? I started at one edge and went over, then you had to cut around the closet and cut around a window Uh-huh. Uh-huh. but, uh, I've had my best luck in papering when I start in the middle of a wall, and I'll start with a plumb line. And start in the middle of the wall, and, and go from t...
and, uh, they're five and three and nineteen months. Oh. So we kind of got different ball game but, uh. Right What, uh, do you feel like you have any time, to spend with them? Well. They're probably at an age where they don't want to spend any time with their parents. That's true You actually, of course, spend less tim...
and he, um, and then they, the school district hires an aide, you know, to work for me. Sure. Well, my son is my aide. Oh, well, that's nice. So, two nights a week for four hours we're stuck together You're stuck together. and there's usually not very much business. No. I mean, some nights it's just real, real quiet. S...
Gives him a little bit of that individual time. But, but it is hard, once they get that age, I mean, their friends are the most important thing there is. Right, and they want to be able to spend, uh. That's right. Well, I've even noticed that with my five year old. She started kindergarten this year, and every day that...
the kitchen needs to be cleaned Uh-huh. this needs to be done, and and I need to remind myself to slow down Uh-huh. and it'll still be there tomorrow. Right. Yeah, that's true. But that's kind of hard to do, you know. Yes, it is hard to do, right, yeah. You don't see yourself getting. Well, if you're kind of a person t...
It's, um, I think one of the nice things about holidays is that, you know, it does give you the opportunity to spend more time yeah, with family. Slow down a little bit. We have, we often go to Illinois for Christmas, Oh, uh-huh. and we're not this year, and it's just really nice because we can do, you know, the things...
Right. Of of course. but, you know, but every now and then, I mean, he's got a lot of those technic, those hard kind, you know, and he wants to be an engineer, so he still likes all that kind of building stuff Oh, yeah. and, um, we have the train, and we haven't had that Lego train together for years, and, um, so he sa...
right. those kinds of things never happen No but. no. In fact in, I think if people would learn to turn off the T V and Uh-huh. Yeah. I think that's a lot of the breakdown of the communication and the communication that would take place in a family, Yes, yeah. Which is, usually people are not sitting in front of that. ...
That's right. Whereas, uh, I'm the type of person, I could not sit, well, I shouldn't say I could not, but be very hard for me to sit down and watch a program all the way through without doing something. Yeah, yeah, me too. Yeah, Because they talk so much, isn't that the, they talk about T V shows, and I, huh, you know...
all set, then. Uh, what do you think about it? Uh, I think it's a real good concept. Uh, drug testing procedures would have to be refined. Uh-huh. From what I've seen on the news there's a, a pretty good size problem with poor accuracy, poor procedure in, uh, drug testing. Oh, I didn't realize that. Yeah. Uh, there hav...
uh, I don't remember what they call it, sort of like a positive, negatives or some, some kind of word they use when a, uh, you get a, uh, a positive indication of drugs, but there's not really, there weren't really any there. Yeah. Uh, every now and then there's an error and people are really upset about that when it c...
but I guess you're always on call for it. Yeah, I not very long ago worked for Wal-Mart Uh-huh. and about a year and a half ago they instituted a, uh, a, uh, drug testing program, uh, well drug and alcohol testing program. It's, it's not a random Uh-huh. through the it, as each employee comes in part of the hiring proc...
Make sure it's a lot safer because a couple of people are going to be discriminated against unfairly or whatever. Yeah, I I, I tend to agree with you David. Yeah. Yeah, my brother, uh, brother used to work for Wal-Mart and then, I don't know if he still does or what because I don't know if Sam's is actually part of it,...
Company's, that was a great place to work. so. Uh-huh. It's good news Yeah, they got to had two or three years in with them you can start buying stock and you have a, have a little taken out of your check each, each payday to put against, uh, uh, stock portfolio. Uh, not portfolio, just, you know, against Wal-Mart stoc...
Uh, do you have any idea, uh, let's see, you were, you were tested for drugs as you got into T, as, as you got into T I? Right, uh, everyone coming in gets, goes through the drug test. Yeah. Uh, now, uh, were you asked to wait before starting to work until the drug test came through or, Uh, no, well, let me think about...
Maybe it was during the interview. I came up a couple times for an interview, so it's hard for me to remember where I was when all that happened. But, uh, I guess, just like other companies, other friends I've been hearing about that have been moving around, it's, it's before. They have to wait for the drug test to com...
Uh-huh. Well, I'll tell you, I used to do a lot more repairs when cars were easy to work on, than I do now. Okay. I do, uh, I do the easy stuff now. I change oil, uh, and then what some people would consider a little more difficult, I, I'll change spark plugs and I'll change, you know, points and, you, you know, do air...
Uh-huh. But, uh, have you had any major repairs recently? Well, um, on this car I've got now, no, but I had a van before, and it was only two years old, and it had transmission go out on it. Oh. But fortunately that was covered under the warranty. Okay. Well, you should be, feel very fortunate. I had to have a transmis...
well, I have a very comfortable car and I have a health problem that I need a large comfortable car. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. So, um, anyway, I have a new transmission, and I'm sure that any of them would have cost or charged me almost the same amount. But Yeah. it hurts, it hurts real bad. Did you take it to a dealership? No, ...
Right. and that's. Anyway, it's fixed, it's running, and I pray that I get my thirteen hundred dollars out of it. Oh, gosh. Uh-huh. It's going to run for a for a while yet. Oh, I know it. It certainly is frightening. What work are you in? Uh, I, I work for T I. Oh. I, I work in the networking area. Okay, okay. Do you w...
No, I have just retired from, um, the Southwest Medical Center. Oh. Yeah, where there are a lot of people down there that could help me with my car, but they're all too busy. So. Yeah. I have to do it the other way, and that's find someone and pay them to do it. Yeah, yeah. So I certainly hope you have a nice New Year....
that's true. I'm, well, we're starting out a new one, so let's make it a good one. Yeah, I'm going to try and plan on it. Okay. All right, well, I enjoyed the conversation. Thank you. All right, thank you. Bye. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Okay, what, um, do you watch much T V or, you know. Um, no, I don't watch much T V. Sometim...
yeah. But I don't think of that every day, even. Uh-huh. Um, I think I get most of my current events, well, I get them from everywhere. I sometimes watch T V if I, I guess I watch T V if I haven't read the paper that day. We don't get a paper but I work, um, at a, I teach a college class and, uh Oh, uh-huh. there's a, ...
yeah. Now I also, I get it from all over. I watch the news every day, and I we have a news, you know, we get the newspaper, and, uh um, magazines, anything. Uh-huh. You know, I'm, I read a lot, so I get, um, you know, I'm, I'm really up on, uh, current affairs. I get, you know the news and, and everything. Uh-huh. Yeah...
Uh-huh. but, um, you know, as, as I said, I do, it's, uh, it's easy to keep up on current you know on you know, especially when you, um you know, you get a paper every day. Yeah. Yeah, we've got. Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And, uh. Are you satisfied with the quality of coverage? Uh, I don't know Is there anything mis...
you know, I, uh, I guess I, I, you know, I'm satisfied. I mean, I, uh, you know, they, they're supposedly covering everything that happens, so Yeah, yeah. you know. Well, I do feel like, a little bit like, being from California and wanting to hear like I've heard through the grapevine sometimes that there's been an ear...
Yeah But, uh. yeah, yeah. I sometimes feel like, um, the Dallas paper and the DALLAS NEWS, um, the top headlines are always a murder, you know. Oh, well. That's what sells papers. That that's because there's a high crime rate. Yeah. Yeah. That's, um, that's been like that since they, the first newspaper, you know Yea...
We don't get a, you know. That's true. We certainly get enough coverage. I mean, we, we can get news, you know, I mean, there's even the C N N channel where we can get world news twenty-four hours a day. Oh, yeah, I was going to. Sure, yeah. Sometimes you don't even want to be bothered with the news because it's all so...
Yeah, it's just whenever we're, um. Oh, is it really? Yeah. Have you always gone until the recording? Well, yeah, I don't, I don't, uh, Uh-huh. I guess we're not supposed to I don't know, we're I guess we're supposed to wait or I don't know. Yeah. Uh-huh. I, you know, like one, uh, well, was it last week, we were suppo...
and it happened to be my friend who lives a few blocks away. Oh, really. Yeah, and it was really. We were laughing, I mean. But, you know, we don't really do any gardening, so like, that took like a minute Uh-huh. and then we just talked about, you know, whatever, I mean. Uh-huh. Interesting. Yeah. You know, I mean, so...
It's hard to talk for five minutes on this Yeah So, um. Yeah. Well, I guess I can just say I, it bothers me that I hear a lot about, um, you know, on the news that, well, it seems like, I don't know, some things are sensationalized or some things are, um, you know, you'll hear one report and then you'll hear that it, y...
What about, What do you, with the psychic and everything? Uh-huh, yeah. Okay. Yeah, I like, uh, I like NORTHERN EXPOSURE and, uh, HOME IMPROVEMENT. Oh, I, well I haven't seen either of those You've never seen NORTHERN EXPOSURE? Huh-uh. Oh, it's a great show. Um, I also like to watch STAR TREK, but it's on so late here,...
but. So I haven't seen any of the movies, yet, but I. Oh, you haven't seen any of them. No. Oh, well, they're good, they're real good. They're, uh, they're getting rid of the old cast for the movies, though. Uh-huh. Which ones are you watching, the new ones? Yeah, I've seen quite a few of the older ones. I haven't seen...
Yeah, I do too. I have a brother-in-law who really likes the old ones a lot, I mean, he almost hates the new ones Really? Yeah, because he, he thinks the newer ones is like a soap opera and the other one isn't or something, but, I don't No. Not really. It's not really like a soap opera, Oh, I think, Yeah. but, but i...
Um, I like to watch COLOMBO because it's like a mystery thing. Yeah. That's sort of how Matlock is, but COLOMBO is way tricky Yeah. I mean he doesn't even try to let the person know he's getting onto them. Well, it seems like they always show COLOMBO, the same ones over and over, though you know what I'm saying, like ...
See, that was a rerun. Really? Oh, I guess I Yeah, I wondered if that's Huh. see I don't know if that's a, the movie of the week or, or what, but it seems like there's only about four or five different ones, and then, then they keep showing them over and over. Oh, I guess I've, I haven't seen it before. He was a movie ...
I like COLOMBO probably the best of any of those mystery things. Uh-huh. But, um, there's no, never anything good on Saturdays, though No kidding. I don't think so. Well, STAR TREK'S on at five, but I'm never home so, What is it that, there's something I watch, something I watch on Saturdays, and I can't remember what ...
that was a different soap opera. Oh. But, it was, it was a different type of show. Uh-huh. I didn't like the way it ended, though. Oh, did they end the whole series? Yeah. Oh. Yeah, they didn't, they only did it for, I think, two years. Oh. But it's all over now. Oh, another show I like to watch is MASH. So. How's your...
and they, unfortunately I bought them all three at the same time, when I bought my new house, and, uh, I really don't have any recourse, so I had to call and have them all repaired and that. Oh, wow. Yeah, it was a hassle. So you didn't get anything, even, all the, all the warranties were out? Yeah, the warranty on the...
Uh, watch out. Yeah, the only thing I've had problems with is, um, I buy a lot of wood working equipment through the mail Uh-huh. and I bought this paint stripper where they advertise that it's nontoxic and such, and when you get the product it ends up being toxic and all these warnings. So. Um. I didn't return it beca...
the dryer had to have a new heating element, so it was about, almost three hundred dollars for all three of them. And they all went out at the same time? Uh, within two days of each other. Or two days. Wow. I was, it wasn't a good week. I was pretty mad. And plus the place that I'd bought them all had gone out of busin...
I seem to have a real bad trouble with electric hair dryers, blow dryers. Uh-huh, they go out a lot? Yeah, I've had two or three of those go out. One was under warranty, and the other two weren't, but, I just, other than that, you know, T V and things like that, I haven't ever had any trouble with. I don't think produc...
We test everything after each assembly process, and so our testing is pretty thorough, but. Do you, do you test each individual one Um. or do you just test, like if you've got ten, you test one, and by the test results of the one you assume that the other nine are okay? Um, the tests that, well, we test every one elect...
Yeah. But I think it's a great idea. I'm, I'm, seems like all the good logical ideas take forever to come about but that. Well, they do the, all the testing that we have to do through the government, it's incredible how much testing they have to do. Oh, I'm sure they want to be thorough before they. But, uh, even, you ...
Uh-huh. Uh, uh-huh. In New Hampshire we have, uh, uh, no, no, what we call broad base taxes. No income tax and no sales tax. Huh. Uh, we tax business, uh, eight percent, businesses are taxed eight percent and we have what we call the five B s. Uh, for our taxes. Booze, uh, butts, cigarettes, beds, uh, hotel room tax be...
so I, I get a check back so Well that's nice. from, from taxes but, Nice, nice to get a refund. Yeah It is, but it's not much. So. Uh-huh. Do you think that, uh, for whatever taxes we do pay that, uh, we are getting value for it? No. Yeah. Uh, my, my opinion of taxes is that we just send money to Washington or to the s...
Uh, it, it really, uh, I should say one arm giving another arm a transfusion through a leaky tube because, Right because, uh, there's an old saying in amongst taxes and politicians that there's a fly paper effect Yeah. There you go and that is that money tends to stick where it lands first and when you send it to Wash...
I'm not really into politics, uh That it, I don't really understand it Uh-huh. but it's just you know Well, it does it, it does seem that the more taxes that are raised the more the politicians spend. Uh, it's almost like they will spend as much as the, they're allowed to collect. You know. Right. Uh, there is an inter...
and it would eliminate all these loop holes that the fat cats get away with. Yeah. The could be nice Yeah. Huh. I, I'd like to see something like that. I think it would be fairer and it would put a, you know, a lot of the tax attorneys our of business and I am sure they will fight it tooth and nail, but I really think ...
Right. Huh. I will agree to that. I think your taxes in Wisconsin are pretty high. I, I, if I am not mistaken, aren't they? I mean for your state. Uh, What is, do you know what your state income tax rate is? Um, no Twenty percent? I, I have no idea, I just. My dad does it all for me Just, you just pay it, huh I use, Yo...
She gets a refund check and, Okay. How do you keep up with current events? Um, well actually, usually, uh, in the mornings I am getting ready to either go to work, uh, usually catch the news in the morning. Yeah, what what channel do you watch or what station? Uh, N B C. That's the one I watch. I usually keep up with T...
Yeah. The radio doesn't really have much news sometimes. The stations I listen to are just mainly music. Yeah, I think you pretty much have to listen to all news station to get any news at all. Yeah. Do you think that T V is, uh, pretty accurate. I mean sometimes do you think it gets pretty commercialized or, Well, wha...
it's something wrong. Going, they're, looks like they're going more for ratings than for you know actual news. Uh-huh. I think, you know the probably the best source of just plain journalism would be newspapers Uh-huh. they typically have a better. I am from a small town too here in Texas and so that then like local ne...
Yeah. Well, in, uh, in Dallas, I don't know if you heard about the killing where the guy drove into Luby's and the story was, uh, Was that like he started shooting people, people in this cafeteria or something? Yeah. And the news covered it right, you know, hours after it happened Uh-huh. and they were taping people wh...
Uh-huh and they were showing people crying Uh-huh I mean just taking advantage of you know. Uh-huh. They are trying to get the, you know, most emotional response for, Yeah, it didn't seem like there was much coverage of the story, but just the play on people's emotions It's just gotten so, I mean, somewhere there's, it...
What did you think of the coverage of the war? Uh, I I found it very one sided. Did you? Uh, you know, it, it just seemed to lack any sort of debate. Yeah. Uh, you know, not saying that we that we actually should have been there or shouldn't have been there, but it just seemed like, you know. They kept just showing, yo...
Uh, I wish the government would operate on the same premise that, uh, businesses operate on and that is, uh you, you don't spend more than you, than you bring in. You spend what you have and, Yeah, I think that, the general idea is to you know, spend, uh, during a time of recession that, you know, for the deficit spend...
I agree with that. But, uh, then again, uh, it's the, hard to justify with all the wastefulness of money that the government spends on all levels of, of, uh, government, including municipalities as well as state and federal governments. I guess, I'm, I'm a student right now and I don't make a whole lot of money and, so...
We don't regret paying taxes. We do think that, uh, sometimes, uh, we have a reverse of a regressive tax, a progressive tax. Uh-huh. And progressive tax, I think, uh, does not give people incentive to make more money, and what I mean by that, the more income you make, the more tax you pay. More taxes you pay. It should...
like when you buy a tire, you pay a federal excise tax. Uh-huh, there's a lot, yeah, lot of hidden taxes. You pay gasoline taxes every time you pump something into your, your tank. Uh-huh. The taxes that people don't think about that, yeah, the, the, the income tax is a lot more visible portion of the taxes you pay, I ...
Exactly. That's, because until, like eight, And so, Based on that, who do you think you're talking to, you're talking to an employer. Up until, like, eighty-five or something was the, Well, actually, uh, I, I don't think I'm in the, uh, majority of, in, in Texas I don't think I agree with, Oh really. No. You don't beli...
You sound a lot like a friend of mine. A a girl I hang out with. Uh-huh. She has very, very black and white opinions, you know. There's no gray in her opinions, you know. She, she probably would agree more with you but, but I don't know. I think I would rather a person go ahead and be put down than give them the opport...
but, uh, No it doesn't but, it costs less. Yeah. That, that's a factor. And, yeah, to me it is. I mean, I work and I pay my taxes and I lived out in Texas for a little while and they're and that's a pretty heavy state compared to Georgia I mean you guys are, are a lot more, uh, for to each his own even than we are in G...
Yeah. Well, I, the cost is something but it's, but I think it's relatively unimportant compared to what's the most effective way of, dealing with crime and I guess I would like, I don't know, the European countries certainly, uh, none of them have capital punishment and they they don't have a crime problem either. Oh,...
but, uh, I mean I, I'd hate to be the person to pull the switch, you know, I would never in a million years want that job Huh. but I do believe it's necessary and I, Yeah. On the one hand I, I guess I admire the person who has the guts to do it because I couldn't I couldn't stand behind a gun and shoot somebody for not...
Now I'm, I'm not so sure of that. I'm, I, I wouldn't vote against somebody just because it was for capital punishment and nor the other way around. What what's making you become more convinced that it might be a good way of punishing Uh, I guess I'm, I'm, my view of uh, my, I'm beginning to believe that some people a...
Throw them in the back. they sort of fit our requirement. Yeah, I have a, one of those, uh, pickups with the, uh, seat with a seat in the back. Cab. Oh, yeah? And so they just fit in there. When they get to be teenagers with long legs, it may not work. Yeah Right now, I can, right now, I can throw them all in the back...
So, I'm pretty happy. Yeah, you're looking at, I got a Toyota Four Runner. I wanted a truck that I, I wanted something that I could throw people in the back too, so I got a Four Runner. So I wouldn't hesitate to get another one. I, I never buy new so I wouldn't hesitate to get another used truck. You're just like me. I...
we might go again on a, on a van. We, we could probably do with a, a, something just a little bit larger than a compact in a sedan next time. I'm not sure. Yeah. We have to, we, we'll have to face it in a couple of years but, uh, I, I guess, we had a small Toyota wagon Right. and we were real happy with that because, ...
so I can tow everything and it, I can throw, I've had eleven people in it before Believe it or not. Uh-huh. And, uh, it's real reliable, I, I mean I've had it for almost four years now and up until, oh, say two weeks ago, it had never had anything wrong with it. Uh-huh. And then, of course, two weeks ago, it decided, I...
So it's not real early You didn't overheat it? No. Never overheated it. I smell, I smelled the, uh, I smelled the coolant Uh-huh. Went out and looked. Saw it was, saw where it was coming from. Drove it right to the shop and left it off. Huh. Well that was, , And that was it because I, I have that and then I have a, a K...
I have one colleague that, uh, commutes to work on one when it's not raining and, uh, uh, he's a, it's, he's pretty conservative guy. I don't think it's much of a sport for him. I guess, uh, I know but I bet you he really enjoys riding it. I'm sure he does, yeah. Yeah. So, you know, when was the last time you took out,...
uh, I would consider going to a, a non, to a normal pickup rather than a, a covered pickup like the one I've got. Just because there's a lot of times I wished I had, just an open bed to throw stuff in. Right. I'm sure, I'm sure that that's very, I mean you got one. It's, that's really convenient to be able to throw tha...
