New Site, Same Idtios

Hello and welcome. I'm going to try this again, a site based around myself and the people I love in my life that I call the Usual Idiots.

What can you hope and expect to see in this space? Stories, reviews, pictures! All the fun shit. Also cursing. I think the next big post will be this Thursday, I am expecting quite the cigar haul, very exciting. Other upcoming things, a reunion of the college crew down south somewhere, a graduation party for a cousin out West. A wedding and more! Also rants, I'm going to take a shot at putting out some quality rants.

That's all for now,
Mikey

We had a meet up of Idiots this last weekend and it was grand. Spencer, Chad, Reginald IV, and Todd all hit up the wine trails. Bottles drank, laughs had, business deals struck. Video on the way. You can also expect some photos from the weekend  to be shared by Mikey. Also plans for a weekly podcast adventure. Stay foolish, The Idiots

Holy shit it's about time I got these photos up! Come on, that shit is clever. The talismans of our past, We'll get a post together later detailing their origins. Where I got my first pipe, and where we used to get our cigars.  We were not able to make a visit this time around. The picture is a bit blurry because it was dark out and I had my flash off. I made a choice early in the trip that I was going to put forth some effort to photo document this weekend. I didn't want to go selfie crazy, this wasn't for instagram or any of that shit. So when I snapped the first photo of the evening in a bar I quickly decided to turn the flash off. Nobody wants that bright fucking light in their face, and I don't want to announce to the bar "LOOK AT ME, I'M TAKING PICTURES!" Start of the evening Scotch and Cigars Scott shares with us his winnings. The plan was, give him a dollar each. Then he'll take that to the slot machine

slim jim ladder line for 2 meter

Hurray antenna build! This isn't my first, but it was the smallest. The other antennas I've built have been for CB, 11 meters. This one was for frequencies on the 2 meter band. I found some directions here . They served me very well and I had the foresight to take photos as I made the thing. I've been planning to make a larger 2m J-pole antenna out of 1/2" copper pipe for awhile now. This is not that. I was wanting a better antenna for chatting on the 2m net in my area. Last week I had to drop out because my little handheld just wasn't getting out like it needed to. The J-Pole I want to build will be larger, about 8' tall. When that goes up I want it to be in a more permanent way. So something for the intermediate, ahh yes I have a bunch of 450ohm ladder line in the garage! Some quick googling and reading in my new antenna building book and boom a design is ready to try. See the earlier link. Behold! Ladder line Step one I stripped the
