Brian,

 BK> Hahahah...that's awesome. Several years ago there was a QRP contest
 BK> called "Run For the Border", yup, you had to be operating from a Taco
 BK> Bell parking lot. There were over 100 logs turned in! Just proves all
 BK> most hams need for a road trip and outdoors operation, is an excuse, no
 BK> matter how silly it is.

  I saw a meme that noted Taco Bell was replacing their regular chairs
with toilet seats. :P And, another one noted "I got gas for 99 cents
yesterday...but it was from Taco Bell" (hi hi).

 BK> We used to have a diner near here called "The Knuckle Sandwich"...they
 BK> had a 1950's rock n roll motif, and served all kinds of delicious fried
 BK> foods.  Some of the guys would meet there and call "The Knuckle Net" on
 BK> the local repeater.  It always brought more hams to the "table" so to
 BK> speak.

  I've heard on more than one occasion, where a ham tells what his XYL is
making for dinner. Right after he unkeys, another ham asks "What's your
address?? I'll be there in 5 minutes" (hi hi).

  On the third Saturday of each month, I do "The Food Net" on the QuadNet
Array. I've been to some Field Day events or club banquets...and man,
never mind their on the air workings...they can put out a spread of food!!

 BK> I write up my POTA adventures and put them on my website, if you ever
 BK> want to take a look just go to https://kb9bvn.net

  I love hearing the alternate phonetics for ham radio callsigns. There
was one with a suffix of PBJ -- it stood for (what else??) peanut butter
and jelly (hi hi).
