The TAZ 625 Thursday Night Net met on October 22, 2026, with WRNR761 (Andrew) steering the session as Net Control Operator, and all six check-ins were heard, so no one was left calling into the void. The topic was "What was something that you McGyvered together with what you had to make it work?" and it brought out some great resourcefulness, including Gary's trick of using a penny as a cold spot to keep thin sheet metal from blowing out while welding, and Mark's roadside fix of clamping a center carrier bearing on an old '62 Chevy with vise grips. Todd shared a story of tearing apart a finicky carburetor and rebuilding it with only the tools on hand to get himself home, while Gene touched on a quick data processing fix and wiring in a new board. Thanks to Grandpa Ron, Andrew, Gene, Gary, Mark, and Todd for checking in and swapping stories, and we hope to hear even more of your ingenuity at next Thursday's net!
