[MENTION=137555]Sleeter[/MENTION] and T4R Family...

What's up.. Longtime no talk. Sorry i had to disappear. Dad was diagnosed with PCNS Lymphoma brain cancer after my accident and I am his full time caregiver and taking full responsibility for him. He is responding well to the chemotherapy so far and I am hoping he will be in remission during the month of April. Put me down as tentatively in! I need to get away from all this stress and craziness. He is one of the toughest men I have ever known, a veteran, former US Army Sniper. Hoping he will beat this $hit.

Hope your dad is doing well and has gotten a clean bill. Cancer just sucks...

I'm out for this one. My truck is not ready- no radio or lights, but also have some doctor appointments I can't reschedule. Hope everyone has a fantastic time, sure going to miss hanging with you guys!
 
Sorry gang, it pains me to say I cant make it :cry2: I'll be camping out at Memorial Sloan Kettering instead. Horrible, cant wait for it to be over.

Thanks yellowdog, his cancer is 99% gone, waiting for the treatments to end, then he goes for immune therapy which boosts platelet/white blood cell counts.

Cancer does suck, especially when its in the brain because it effects your motor skills and cognitive functions. Its terrible.
 
Communications update:
Added second repeater to the communications plan.

Primary freqency: 146.580 (4WD4)
GMRS freqency: Channel 20 (462.6750)
Talk in (Primary) repeater: W3GA Downlink: 146.7600 Uplink: 146.1600 Offset: -0.6 MHz Uplink Tone: 146.2 Downlink Tone: 146.2 (Secondary) repeater: W3YA Downlink: 146.8500 Uplink: 146.2500 Offset:-0.6 MHz Uplink Tone: 146.2 Downlink Tone: 146.2

Additionally I suggest those with HAM upload the following simplex freqs.
4WD1 146.430
4WD2 146.460
4WD3 146.490
4WD4 146.580
4WD5 147.420
4WD6 147.450
4WD7 147.480
4WD8 147.540
4WD9 147.570

Weather is looking like less percipitation but more cold... buy those buddy heaters NOW and bring extra propane.

Sorry AP... I can't like this post. Bummer for real. I hope we'll see you in Colorado in July.

This should say *she* doesn’t like me...

I completely understand Corey (I wouldn’t like this post either). Ultimately this is a good thing at work, but I really needed this trip as a break. July is way too far away.

Agree on Colorado, just hoping the dates line up.

Hope you have a great trip this week and congrats again on the new garage, err... house!

Well that sucks! Bummed you're missing out and have to work...



Look forward to catching up with you again at some point. Hope all is well.

Me too bud. I was looking forward to catching up over one of your now-famous tacos :). Hopefully will see you sooner rather than later.

No worries my friend. We will catch up sometime in the future. I have to bow out as well as I have to go to Illinois and house hunt for our move this May.

Agreed. Sorry to hear you’re out too, but sounds like important stuff going on in your world. Congrats on the move and hope it’s a sign of good stuff going on with you.

I just uploaded all that so I should be ready to go..

I'm also seriously considering buying a heater and having it sent to the State College Amazon locker, haha.
