On My Terms and I quite enjoy bantering back and forth. We also enjoy various forms of communication. A while back we considered installing landlines and having that be our primary form of communication. Fortunately, On My Terms found a lovely avocado green rotary wall phone for me. Unfortunately, the cost to wire her house for a landline was more than she wanted to spend.
So, yesterday, On My Terms came up with a solution: two-way radios. “We could say stuff like ‘yo, what’s your 20?’ or ’10-4,’ even ‘over and out,'” she excitedly told me. I immediately agreed to the idea, “I love ten code. We’ll need a handle.” “I’m already Moods of Mae,” she replied. After much thought, I decided on “Okey Dokey.”
Today, I sent On My Terms a link to radios with a 16-mile radius. She did a little research and ended up purchasing radios with a 27-mile radius. Game on. “I have such an excited feeling about these walkie talkies! I just cannot freaking wait! It’s going to be awesome,” she told me. Within minutes she sent me a link to the ten-code and I sent her an instructional video, “How to Operate a CB Radio.” Unfortunately, there were no “How to Operate Walkie Talkies” videos. Fortunately, in less than a week, we’ll have the tools and the skills to make an instructional video on the stoop. As they say in the two-way radio business, we are 10-76 to some good times.
