Testing more stuff and Cars again – MDW384

00:00:01,060 --> 00:00:03,160
Hey, it's a beautiful,

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,880
sunny summer day with puffy white clouds.

3
00:00:09,650 --> 00:00:14,640
Or maybe it's dark gray
clouds, maybe it's raining,

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,120
maybe it's hailing where you are.

5
00:00:17,170 --> 00:00:17,840
Thunder.

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:18,673
And lightning.

7
00:00:20,970 --> 00:00:23,370
Maybe you're being torn apart by cats

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,930
regardless of your personal situation.

9
00:00:27,930 --> 00:00:30,290
Thank you for listening
to Mike Dell's world.

10
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:45,010
Good morning, good evening, good
afternoon, whatever the case may be.

11
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,410
It's been a while. I say that
every time, don't I, ? Well,

12
00:00:50,410 --> 00:00:54,650
anyway, it's uh, January 24th, 2023.

13
00:00:55,740 --> 00:00:58,890
If I haven't said it before, happy
New Year. Of course, I haven't,

14
00:00:58,890 --> 00:01:03,730
I haven't podcasted in a while. .
Anyway, just a couple of things.

15
00:01:03,730 --> 00:01:07,490
I I really am putting this out
to test a couple of things,

16
00:01:07,740 --> 00:01:12,490
so let me know how the sound is and also,

17
00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:16,210
uh, couple other things. If you ever, uh,

18
00:01:16,250 --> 00:01:20,690
heard of value for value, that's a, uh,

19
00:01:20,810 --> 00:01:25,530
streaming SATs, streaming
Bitcoin thing, ,

20
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,850
it's pretty complicated, but at work,

21
00:01:28,850 --> 00:01:32,410
we're working on it and I'm
actually testing it out here.

22
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:38,290
So if you are enabled
with a modern podcast app,

23
00:01:38,540 --> 00:01:41,610
uh, go check out new podcast apps.com.

24
00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:46,810
I personally recommend pod verse or, uh,

25
00:01:47,010 --> 00:01:51,850
fountain. Those two are, uh,
pretty easy to deal with. And, uh,

26
00:01:51,850 --> 00:01:56,810
check out some of the new features
that, uh, that's going on in podcasting.

27
00:01:57,700 --> 00:02:00,890
So it's all through
the podcast 2.0 project

28
00:02:01,300 --> 00:02:05,810
or@podcastindex.org. And of course,

29
00:02:05,810 --> 00:02:10,570
podcast index.social. For
those of you on Mastodon,

30
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,010
I know I'm getting way
geeky. Uh, let's see.

31
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,770
I gotta answer a Slack message.
Anyway, uh, I just wanna make a short,

32
00:02:20,010 --> 00:02:23,930
quick update episode here and,
uh, just let you know that, uh,

33
00:02:23,930 --> 00:02:28,770
I am playing with new stuff, so I'll
probably have a couple more episodes here,

34
00:02:29,540 --> 00:02:34,010
uh, of just experimenting
with things. Uh, I,

35
00:02:34,010 --> 00:02:38,210
I do promise I will eventually start
doing some more podcasting here,

36
00:02:38,210 --> 00:02:42,490
but always seems that, uh, things get
in the way. So, hmm, , you know,

37
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:47,440
same old excuse. Uh,
everything's going good.

38
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,880
The winter's been fairly easy so far.

39
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,920
We've had two big blizzards and then
right afterwards, all the snow melted.

40
00:02:54,970 --> 00:02:58,600
So we're not dealing with as
much snow as we normally do,

41
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,440
although the temperatures are staying,
uh, you know, freezing or a little below,

42
00:03:04,370 --> 00:03:09,200
uh, most of the time. So that's
all going good. And of course,

43
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,440
I always have to talk about cars. Uh,

44
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,800
got a new to
us car. Uh, Kathy, uh,

45
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,480
found a rock and deal on
a, uh, Toyota Highlander.

46
00:03:21,690 --> 00:03:22,960
So she's got a,

47
00:03:22,990 --> 00:03:27,800
a 2012 Highlander and only had

48
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,160
70,000 miles on it and,
uh, looks like brand new,

49
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,640
lived in a garage and was,
was very, uh, well kept.

50
00:03:35,810 --> 00:03:39,400
So we're gonna hopefully continue that.

51
00:03:39,450 --> 00:03:43,200
So now she's back into a four-wheel
drive. So even if it is snowing a lot,

52
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,960
we don't have to worry about doing
the driveways much because no problem

53
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,400
getting, uh, her car in and
out or my truck in and out.

54
00:03:52,220 --> 00:03:56,600
And the little Toyota Corolla that I
bought, I put in storage for the winter.

55
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,920
I'm gonna play with it
this spring. But, uh,

56
00:03:59,590 --> 00:04:02,840
didn't need four cars sitting
around here. Still have the van,

57
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,240
although I don't know
why. Specifically .

58
00:04:08,270 --> 00:04:12,610
And, uh, I put a, uh, CarPlay
radio in my truck, uh,

59
00:04:12,610 --> 00:04:14,570
a wireless CarPlay radio.

60
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:20,130
It's a Chinese thing
called a Toto. And yeah,

61
00:04:20,130 --> 00:04:24,490
it was cheap and, but it does
the job. So it's what I'm, uh,

62
00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:26,570
rocking in the truck now.

63
00:04:26,580 --> 00:04:30,210
So now I don't even have to take the
phone out of my pocket and I can listen to

64
00:04:30,210 --> 00:04:33,650
podcasts again when I
go somewhere, cuz, uh,

65
00:04:33,650 --> 00:04:38,130
before I had to plug it in and,
and it was a pain. And, you know,

66
00:04:38,130 --> 00:04:43,050
it was one of the old, uh, stereo
systems in the truck and all that, but

67
00:04:44,930 --> 00:04:45,600
so be it.

68
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,560
I had Bluetooth in the Corolla and
we got CarPlay that you have to plug

69
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,240
in, in the van. And the Toyota's
got its own system, the Highlander.

70
00:04:55,410 --> 00:04:58,120
So we're, uh, wired for sound.

71
00:04:59,230 --> 00:05:03,840
I know that's all boring. Anyway, I
really just wanna test out this, uh,

72
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:08,800
value for value thing. So check
out if you, if you're already, uh,

73
00:05:08,890 --> 00:05:12,240
enabled to send me a boosto
gram, that way I can, uh,

74
00:05:12,860 --> 00:05:17,840
see your comment and, uh, you know,
cost you a few pennies, uh, in, uh,

75
00:05:18,030 --> 00:05:22,880
Satoshis, which are 10 millionths of
a Bitcoin or a hundred Millionths,

76
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,000
I don't remember now. But anyway,

77
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,880
check it out and hopefully this will, uh,

78
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:33,600
get everything running in the right
direction, uh, this new episode here.

79
00:05:33,690 --> 00:05:38,440
So rather than just a boring me,
blah, blah, lying again, let's, uh,

80
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:39,920
get this out on the street.

81
00:05:40,130 --> 00:05:43,480
So catch me later.
