Hello, everyone! As always, it's been a while; life has been crazy. I am so glad, though, that I was able to get this up before the end of the year. I hope you enjoy! I know this has been a long-awaited video.
Hi, Ryan! Sorry to hear about how things have been going lately, and I wish you the best going into the end of this year and into 2023. I hope that things look up for you soon emotionally and with everything else, and I'm always here if you ever need anything. I haven't been doing the greatest just in terms of being rather lonely over here since I don't get out much, and not having much money at all right now but at least I should get my license soon. I'm glad that you have such caring and helpful coworkers and people in your life. We definitely will meet up sometime soon, but please make sure you take enough time for everything else first as I know you have a lot going on emotionally right now, not to mention your bus project and being so busy at work. Your fire alarm board is looking even better since I last saw it in our emails. For me it's more difficult as I live in a small house with a small room, and there just isn't the space to have everything on the wall. Awesome too with that steel cabinet, a great place to keep your collection. I cleaned my room a few weeks ago and got my small collection of devices stored in a few plastic bins under my bed. Great work with the panels. I still have to mess with that annunciator you gave me and see if I can fix the unresponsive membrane keys, as well as fix your old 4005 power supply ground fault so you have a spare, and do your power distribution board connector as well. That pesky 4005! I can't believe all the trouble it's given you. I know you will crack that code soon! If I'm ever over there I'll spend some time in front of it doing some codes for you as well, as there's a lot of codes to guess! If any of your friends aren't available and you ever need help going to pick up something or work on a project, I'd always be happy to help you out. I'm glad both your 4010s are working well as well as the annunciators. I still have plans to put to use my second 4010 that you gifted me. I will let my Simplex tech friend keep an eye out for any 4100s or 4020 panels and if I get my hands on one, I will definitely offer to gift one to you. I'm still supposed to be getting the 4020 with the bad power supply, as well as a 4100 classic top bay that I think works. One day I'd like to get all the parts to make a complete 4100 classic panel. If I get that going you'd be welcome to play around with it to try out your 4603, and anything else I find as I appreciate you keeping me in mind as well for anything you come across. You're always welcome to borrow any of my panels, and if the 4005 gets too annoying to work with you could always use my 4004 in place of it if you wanted to have the conventional part of your system working, although I'm not sure that 4602 annunciator works with a 4004. Anyways, this comment has gone on quite a long ways. By the way, if it's easier to reach me through my Facebook then feel free to message me there at any time. Take care and thanks for the fire alarm update. You and your family have a blessed thanksgiving! You're a really great friend to me and I appreciate it. I will check out your bus video next.
I love your videos I have adhd and like you I have several hobbies and interests your videos are great keep it up and you should do more gmrs videos I am learning how to work with the programming software you inspire me to want to do videos myself about my hobbies thank you for sharing hope things are going better for you
My Simplex 4005 is giving me trouble now as well. I need to Re-Cap the Power Supply. It's putting out FWR when it's not supposed to do that. If I can't fix it then I'll have to put up my Wheelock stuff.
Hi Ryan. Thanks for replying to my email. Rudy is doing okay and he had a birthday recently and turned 28. He's still mourning about his grandmother though. Maybe in the next video you make if you're able to do a shout-out to him. He needs it. He's been depressed and I'm worried about him.
Thank you very much for the kind comment, sir. Absolutely, you do, and I will be praying for you in whatever has been rough. I'm hoping for a good 2023 for all of us.
Shoot, I don't. I chucked them in the garbage figuring Silent Knight addressable systems are so uncommonly used and collected that the modules were basically worthless. However, I do have a couple more unaltered IDP pulls with the modules still in them.
