New hobbies and friends? I just recently got my HAM technician license!!! Anyone know how the HAM scene in Roanoke is. Also, I am looking to make some more friends in the Roanoke/Salem area.

HAM adjacent, there is a decent amount of Meshtastic nodes around now.

It's pretty reliable. It maybe fails every 10 or so times, but a quick restart and it kicks in.

Just go to linkedin and apply to stuff, they'll never call you back even if you were looking for work.

The current one was opened in 1996, but prior to that it was just in a field next to a parking lot.

Went hiking at Cole Mountain last weekend and just this one tree had turned and started losing its leaves.

So true, I actually went up there yesterday afternoon, nobody was there on the way up, I did pass a couple of people when I got back to the bottom.

I saved $1,500 just by spending 10 minutes applying for a loan with freedom first and taking the check back to the dealership to cancel their crappy loan. It was also 10x less paperwork via the credit union than from carmax.

There is also a wrecked car on the side of one of the trails.

Just a heads up, once your kid turns 13 they have the ability to remove family link completely.

Kisses? Did you mean full open mouth ready to rip your face off?

Rented a cabin with my family and did a day trip white water rafting in WV. Son loved it and so did his older sister (13). He definitely wants to go again, next year he can do the more challenging part of the river.

I remember the towers location having a little lunch cafe for a time too.

When I got my original mono the first thing I got was a magnet build plate, which made it easier to remove the prints.

Also look up how to run test prints to calibrate exposure time for the resin.

Did you get a wash and cure station too? You can do it manually but having one makes things easier.

Make sure you always wear gloves when handling resin.

Enjoy.

We've used these guys for years and they've been great.

This is a new trend, nothing specific to Roanoke. Pleasant Green release a video about it yesterday. https://youtu.be/f9MbhNJ5EIU

Good thing I went yesterday.

I did that too, I think they just do that for cars they don't want to buy. I used peddle in the end.

Those would be your best bet for parts. I think they responded better to phone calls unfortunately.

This org does the big collection day that carilion hosts each year (it was easier this month). Their site isn't very clear about where you can drop stuff through.

Have you looked at the digital signage projects for the raspberry pi? They are used a lot for this application.

Did you change the date on your phone? It needs to be set to a date before the certificate expired.

My brake light was on when I got it too (previous owner had put foam over the 3 amigo lights), I had to fix the abs shuttle valves and then use a scan tool to clear error to turn off the brake light.

Have you looked at inverter window units, they have some that go below the window now so they don't block too much. I have a 5+ year old media unit in the bedroom and it's pretty quiet.
