Well, on Wednesday I drove down, I didn't drive, but I rode down with some friends to Portland. And early, by nearly Thursday morning we went to the free open source software yearly conference which was happening at Portland State University. Thursday through today. Today is the last day. And I just walked into my house and jumped on the net here. We made amazing time back from Portland today with about three and a half hours. I've never done that before. I feel like I should go buy a lottery ticket or something. The universe seems to be in my favor today. It was a great conference. It gets put on every year by the Software Freedom Conservancy non-profit group. And a lot of really great talks, met a lot of really nice people. Learned a lot even more about the open source community and all the things that everyone's engaged with. And yeah, I plan to go next year which is going to be in Vancouver, B.C. next year. They're switching it up a little bit. So with that I think it's lunch time. And I wish everybody a great rest of your day. Take care. KK7, Fox Kilo Bravo, back to net. Well that sounds fantastic. It's always nice to make the quick trip back from the Oregon area there. I love going down there. It's a whole lot of fun. And let's see, I'm going to go multitask here. Where's my mouse? Oh, I'm going to go up here. The way it's shut up here. So thank you for stopping by. I very much appreciate you. And hope you're having a fantastic day. You traveled straight there. Well, it sounds like you traveled straight. You got home already. So that's fantastic. And great for me. It's great to hear from you. Next on the list we've got... It looks like Will from Oklahoma City. KJ5, BWM. How are you doing, my friend? Good afternoon, Robert. Will here, KJ5, Del footsteps, Kino Oliver. Get ready to celebrate my birthday tomorrow. I'm not doing anything, but I am getting a year older. I'll be 54 tomorrow. So I'm going to go out with some friends of mine. Help with a little bit of summer biking early. And not doing anything else other than that. So anyway, back over to you, Robert. This is KJ5, Del for Kino Oliver. Boy, happy early Thursday to you, my friend. That is fantastic. And there's... it's definitely nice to sit down and relax and have a fantastic day. I hope you and your friends have a great afternoon or evening. And you should stay safe there. And make sure you make it to your birthday there, my friend. That's fantastic. And toast to Kino from all of us here on the Cesar Sound area. Great. Thank you for stopping by. Next on the list is... Everyone's there. Victor, Victor. How are you doing, my friend? Actually doing pretty good. I spent yesterday down at the Seattle Electric Bike Shop in Bapu playing with the dog. I like to get down there every once in a while and play with him. He's an older dog and doesn't play much anymore, but he loves to play fetch. Spent some time there giving him a little bit of exercise and walking around the building and stuff like that. Keeping myself busy. Any day they say that I'm above the grass is a good one. Doing some more research into APRS. Still looking for a trike and all that other fun stuff. It sounds like you guys are having a fun time over at that truck event. Bright sunny day for that, I guess. Alright, that's pretty much all I've got. So I'll turn it back to you. Kilo Delta 7. Yankee Victor Victor. Everyone stream at 4.

Alright, well you have a great week ahead there, Tariq. Great to hear you, and thank you very much for the update on the conference. Very cool, very cool. And I hope you are inspired. Well, let's go out and talk to Skipper. Skipper, now that all that downed wood and so forth on the neighbor's property is all done, what's that keep doing with yourself now? KJ7, or sorry, KJ7. KM7AJM. Skipper, good morning to you. Good morning, Jack and everybody on the net. Well, we got the neighbors done, so now we're working on the big log pile we took from them. And ours, but we took Saturday off and drove out 530 and 20 out to Marble Mountain to visit our daughter who's working at a coffee stand out there while she waits for her next quarter of classes. She's going to school to be a pharmacy technician. So we had a nice Saturday, a nice drive out there, and yesterday we hit the log pile again, started cutting up logs and stacking rounds, and today we'll probably be out there splitting. Other than that, just enjoying this cooler weather, looking forward to having the nice weather this week and being able to get some work done. Hope everybody has a good week. KM7, KJM, back to you, Jack. Alright, never a dull moment around the back 40 apparently. That's great, well it's great to keep busy, that's for sure. Hey, on the log splitter, so do you have a solar log splitter, gas powered? Is it a gravity device? Just by what means are the logs split when you're doing the round? We've got a 37-ton log splitter with a four-way head, so it splits them up in a hurry. KM7, KJM, back to net. You have the greatest tools and devices out there, that is amazing, I've never even heard of that. Oh my goodness, where does one get something like that? Can you get one at Fred Meyer? No, we ordered it from Northern Tool, they shipped it up in pieces, but their shipping department wasn't very good. Their pallets came apart, luckily the shipping company picked up all the pieces, put it in three pallets, and I assembled it when I got here, but it's a fantastic splitter. Back to you, Jack. Oh, that is amazing, oh man, I bet those rounds they don't even have a chance, not even a chance. How would it do? Okay, one last crazy question, but you know, I do want to know these things because I think of them, right? So, hey, you got the person who knows or could answer the question on the line, why not ask them? So if you had something like, okay, Cherrywood, I know that's really Dancer Teague, things like that, I mean, again, no prob, right, 37 tons? Well Cherrywood, I use in the smoker, it's great in teak wood, it's good to make furniture and things like that out of, I wouldn't put either one in the wood stove. Back to you, Jack. Alright, well that's a good use of materials right there. Alright, yeah, that's great. Hey, thank you so much, you have a great day, have a great weekend, good to hear you on the morning net.

I'm still on vacation, so I'm going back to work on Friday. And so I think that's a good day to go back. And then just kinda, we have these things called no meetings Fridays.

Anyway, it's all fun stuff. Back to you, K3OE. Okay, thank you, Reg. Yeah, I think you're right. You can make an antenna out of almost anything. Anything to get the RF out of the radio and into the ether. And you can do okay. Get a little higher power, you got some concerns about RF getting, you personally, and that's not a good thing. But at these power levels, that's not a concern, really. So, yeah. I'm tuned to antenna. We'll get you a lot further. All right, thank you, Reg. But you don't need to do that for this. Thank you.

Hey, good afternoon, Tree. I've got you on the list. Hey, let's go back to Harmon and say hello. Harmon, how are you? KM-7AWB. Hello, everyone. I'm back in Seattle here, enjoying the rain like everybody else. I've been getting over a little bit of jet lag from having the opportunity to spend a few days with family in the London area this past month. I had kind of an interesting, maybe fun fact to share. I was in the Richmond area by London, which everybody probably knows is the location of the fictional Premier League soccer team coached by Ted Lasso, the Richmond Greyhounds. But a more truthful story is that it's also the location where George Vancouver wrote his journals after he returned from this part of the country, and it's also where he is married and I had the chance to visit his grey site. He passed away about two years after he returned to England, and so a lot of what came to pass from his voyage was well known then, so his grey site is just kind of a nondescript single grey. But given the fact that he was the fellow that was named Mount Rainier and Whippy Island and Puget Sound and on and on up the coast, I thought it might be something to be interesting to know that he's buried in St. Peter's Church just by the Richmond area. With that, I think I'll send it back to the net. KM-7AWB, Harmon. Alright, that sounds like a fantastic vacation. I just have time to get out and see various things in the London area, visit with family, and then go to the grave of George Vancouver. And I believe that those journals, I'm just trying to look that up, I think they are already on the, uh, I got that translated. I think this, well, there's a number of things about the Northwest on Project Gutenberg, but I think that Vancouver journals are there now. I'm trying to look that up, and I think that these are them. But of course, they are available. Oh, that's great, that is really cool. Well, welcome back, good to hear you, and I didn't even know you were over there. I had no idea, so that's fantastic. Alright, next time, we'll talk to you soon, I hope. Okay, let's see who is next. I think it's James WQ-7H. Hi James, what's going on this afternoon? WQ-7H, I'm James, good afternoon Jack and everyone. It's always good to hear Michael. We have waste management going through the neighborhood, so Hazel's very excited to see her friends, which means that she's missed sparks a lot. I've been back in the cave here, taking care of business. Taking care of business! And so I'm just about finished up here. And then I'm going to have a little lunch, and try to run. I want to do something. I need to thank Gregor, he's the guy with good eyes. I was having troubles with a shell script last night, and I had a parenthesis in the wrong spot. And by golly, he took about five seconds to spot it. So thanks to Gregor, the man with the good eyes. So he sure helped out a lot. That was a big help. Big, big, big, big, big help. Thank you Gregor. And that's kind of what's going on. Tomorrow I'm going to run down to VEDCO and pick up a 1-8 inch, is that the size? Smaller plug. My key has a ginormous quarter inch audio plug on it. On my paddles. And the new radio doesn't take that. I don't want to use an adapter. So we're going to go down and get the correct plug, the little mini plug. And swap that out so that I can use my paddles to practice. Practice, practice, practice. And probably stop by the fruit market and pick up some stuff. I have one onion left. And there it is. Get ready for the weekend. WQ7H back to Jack. Alright James, have fun at VEDCO. Well, you know like any kind of fun store like that, where they have so much stuff. You go in there, hey do you guys have this? I just need a little 1-8 inch plug of some sort for your key. Oh yeah, it's right here. Here you go sir. And you get that and then you're like, okay thank you. Let's see, how much is that? And then you see something in the case. Then you see something off to the side and you say, could you just hold onto that for me? I'll be back in just a few minutes. I see a couple of things I may want or actually you think you need them but you probably don't. But it's just so cool you got to have it right?

It's kind of strange to go back on a Thursday and a Friday, or a Friday, I kind of agree with that, so I decided to extend my vacation. Um, and yes, I feel very lucky I could do that. Um, my nephew is going to college next week, first semester of college, majoring in journalism. Um, and so I had this book that I bought when I was in college, it's like a cartoon novel, um, that chronicles the life of this guy from birth through college. They're getting a job and everything, it's called Sunnyside Down by Lev Yilmaz, and um, there's a great chapter on it, um, where he goes to college and all the interesting, like, thoughts you have when you're a young person, uh, going to university for the first time. So, I'm going to send that to him as a welcome to college, here's a funny book for you. Uh, plus, you know, it clears out my closet a little bit, so win-win.

Um, and the, uh, career in journalism, uh, boy, journalism sure changed from when I was in college. Um, I, uh, took that, um, well, they were all kind of tied together when I started. Uh, speech and journalism and television production and all of that was all tied together. By the time I graduated, they had separated them, and I, I, uh, followed the course of television production. And, borjened that for a goodly amount of time. Anyway, good luck to them.

I'm gonna be up for about the next three, four hours probably. So, we'll see what happens. Um, it's funny I was thinking about you today. Um, because I remember, this was probably a year ago now, maybe more than that, where you had said that you had purchased a, uh, a 1.25 meter or 220 radio, like a tri-band radio. Um, not a handheld. And I was curious what kind that was because I'm kind of looking for one in the mar- I might be in the market for one. I wanna kinda put it up on my, uh, my antenna and just see what I can hear. I know there's a 220 net in this area, so I'm gonna break for a second. But yeah, I've been thinking about 220 a lot and, uh, interested in one of those cheaper radios. I think there's those QYT and then there's a TYT and, uh, maybe a few others. I was just curious what kind you had. So, um, other than that, uh, I'm just gonna hang out and enjoy listening to the rest of the net. It's been pretty fun so far. So, take care everybody. Sending out positive energy to everybody.

He just sort of hand waves over things that are technically off limits according to the agreement of the lease.

And of course, you know, you walk into someone's home, you know they have a cat and it's like how the house usually smells. So I hope they did something and they got away with it. Fingers crossed, you know. Knock on wood. But today was a nice day. We went down to central Washington to do some socializing with family and some friends. And then just got back a little while ago and just enjoying this nice cool air. I wish it could last but I guess it's going to heat up here pretty soon. So it goes. But summer is starting to wind down and I'm looking forward to that. So anyway, I'll stop rambling but thank you. Thank you both for running the net as always. You do a great job.

Yeah, I just wanted to toss out some information about the Seattle GNU Linux Conference, which is happening this November 7th and 8th at the University of Washington. If you cannot attend in person, it will also be broadcast streamed online. So yeah, free software, open source software, free as in speech, not as in beer. Unfortunately, it would be great if it was free as in beer, but it's free as in speech. I really enjoy these open source conferences, particularly this one being the local one that's just down the street from my house. I don't know if I'm speaking this year actually. I did submit a proposal for a talk, which was the Introduction to Network Programming. But they haven't yet announced what talks they've selected yet. They're a little bit behind. But it's a really great conference. There's free snacks and food and lots of people who want to talk about really just taking control of your life through taking control of the machines that you use every day. And you don't even have to sign up or register. You just come as you are. So you are your identity and your privacy are completely your own. You decide your level of engagement. But yeah, it's a wonderful thing. I love being a part of the community and I would love to bring in new people and I'd love to see all of you there. So that's my spiel. With that, I will send it back to all of you. Take care. Good evening. KK7SKB. Back to Matt. Well, Tri, thank you for making us aware of that. I know you had last year. And I know Rich has talked about it. Well, I know he's talked to you about Linux and I'm pretty sure he's been to that conference. He may come back and tell us a little more. Tri, can you give us a good reliable way to find out more info? Is it a website or something you can direct us to? Yes, of course. Thanks for having me. Yes, it is. This is Schole.org S-E-A-G-L.org. Back to you, KK7SKB. S-E-A-G-L.org. Wonderful. Thank you. I think like a lot of hams who've fooled around with digital voice modes and stuff and Reserae Pi, I've been exposed to Linux. I know the very most basics, but I still don't get it. And just the other day I decided, well, this year I'm going to try and really get it. I set up one of those, what do you call it, NotebookLM, which is that branch of Gemini that lets you have an AI system that only looks at vetted information. And I threw a bunch of Linux links into it and I'm going to use it to be my Linux tutor. So I might actually get there on November 7th and 8th and learn something. Well, thanks so much, Tree, for bringing us up to date on that. Jack, how are you doing this evening? KI7RMU, come ahead."},{"callsign_confidence":0.94,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-17T22:22:10+00:00","id":18369,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":18368,"text":" KK7, FOX Kilo Bravo, Tree."},{"callsign_confidence":0.94,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-17T22:50:04+00:00","id":18385,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":18384,"text":" Hello everybody, good evening, hope everyone's doing well. It's been a pretty good weekend, kind of eventful really. Yesterday we went down to Castle Rock to visit my wife's mom for a little while, got a couple hours of visiting in. And then we went to sort of a social event, it was a reunion type event for a coffee shop that was in Chehalis, Washington for many, many years. It was called The Matrix. And they also had a stage and pretty much if you played an instrument and you were willing to go up on stage and play music, they would let you do it. And they ran that coffee shop through the 90s, I think it closed around 2017. But they had sort of a reunion for all the people who loved that place. It was at a grange in Centralia. So it was a nice event. And then today just kind of, you know, putz its around home a little bit. I was on call for a couple hours to cover for my manager. And just worked on a coding project that I've been kind of hacking away at for a while. And yeah, things are starting to wind down. I'm sort of getting the sleepies and probably going to crawl into bed with a book and fall asleep and then wake up and go do the job thing tomorrow. But yeah, that's my report. Sending out positive energy to everybody. Have a great week. KK7, FKB.

Nice to hear you're not Rebecca. I'm just kind of like relaxing this evening, taking it kind of easy. And um, yeah I got back earlier this week from a trip to New York where I stayed with some friends and ate some good food and I got to see one of my favorite new musical artists named Jacob Collier. He's from the UK and he's got, like he kind of made a name for himself on YouTube like making, like YouTube, like he would perform like little musical things on YouTube. And the guy is just so cool. He plays tons of different instruments and composes his own music of course. And he's kind of, like his style is kind of like rooted in like jazz and funk but he plays all kinds of stuff. So anyway, it was really cool to see him in person. He performed on the Central Park, like the Central Park stage. I forget exactly what they call it but anyway, it's like a small venue in Central Park and it was just so cool, like we lucked out with great weather, you know. And anyways, it's just such a cool venue to see like a person that I really am enjoying listening to right now. Yeah, so now I'm back and just working, you know, back to everyday life. And I am going to go to the Ice Cream Social which I am super excited about and of course I'll be attending the board meeting as well and I think that's going to be my update for this evening. Thanks for hosting Rebecca and a radio wave too. My friends out there and that's about it. KJ7 and UW, back to net. I love New York City. What a nice time of year that you get to go to. It's probably all warm and beautiful. Yeah, it's great. I'm glad that you got a getaway and got to see some music. Got to go out to the park. That's awesome. I'm glad that you take those trips. I love you. Work hard, play hard. 33, Madeline, 88, all the numbers. Thank you so much for checking in. Yeah, and have fun at the board meeting. Alright, this is Rebecca KK7 IJZ. Next on the list is Justin. KK7, QES, what's going on Justin? Well hey Rebecca, this is Justin KK7 QES. 73, hope that you are well. I'm having a very quiet week compared at least to the last few weeks. Me and my family are very much enjoying that. My wife and I like to say sometimes that we just need time to putter around the house. Which I think basically means working on various small projects of relatively little importance. Some that just need done, some that make us happy. But no time pressure to do any of it. So that's what we've been kind of doing this week. It's been nice. So tonight I worked in the garden for a bit. That was cool. My bush beans, which I got so many green beans from my bush beans this year. I had never grown them before. And they were so delicious and it's like one of my girls favorite foods. So they were happy. But they are just starting to tire out. But my pole beans are just starting to come in. So kind of perfect timing. I would say I planned it that way but it's just kind of luck. Anyway, what else? I've had a weather station just mounted on a fence post in my yard for a couple of years. And I've been meaning to put that on a mast on my shed. So I finally did that tonight. And I wanted to get that done because I'm planning to put a solar mesh-tastic node on that same mast. I guess that kicks me into gear to get that one thing done. And then I've been listening to the net and while I'm doing that I've been putting together a new set of radial wires for this portable vertical antenna that I bring with us when we go camping and stuff like that. The radial system that came with it was kind of weird. It was made from a ribbon cable, like a computer ribbon cable. Like the ones that ID drives would be connected to and things like that. Used for all sorts of things really. But it's this giant ribbon of super tiny wires and you had to separate them individually. Each individual strand and then they would break and tangle and just turn into a rat's nest. It was kind of an interesting concept. It didn't work very well in practice. So I'm making a set that will stand up to my clumsy antenna deployment. Anyway, that's what I've got going on here. I hope you're well. I hope everyone is doing great out there. KK7, QES, back to net. Well that sounds great. Well I mean you didn't plan it this year but next year you will plan it. Now that you know about the beans. Beans, beans, beans. It reminds me of this poem I once heard. It goes like this. Beans, beans, they're good for your heart. The more you eat, the more you... Um... Ah! I forget the rest. Darn! Ah, oh well. Maybe someone will remind me. But yeah. Well, thank you so much for your report Justin. I'm glad that you and your wife are taking time to put her around the house. And yeah, House's Never Ending Project. Houses, people, kids, gardens, all of the things. The Never Ending Project. And good luck with the mast. Have a great weekend Justin. Thank you so much for checking in and giving me your report. Last on this list we had an I.O. from Cody, AG7LR. And that was the end of that list. So I am going to... Uh, yeah. Let's make another list. Call, sign, and name, RF and internet. 4, call for a N.E.S. Hey Steven, why don't you go ahead with your report. Back to you. Okay, thank you very much Rebecca. This is 4G1NYS. My name is Steven. I'm here in Patanga City, Philippines. Three minutes after one in the afternoon here local time. Friday afternoon. Just coming up and supporting the Puget Sound over the internet. And looking forward to the weekend. And I'm going to be sure to get back to you. Well thank you so much for coming in and yeah, that's great. One o'clock in the afternoon. I love that. Well thank you so much and have a wonderful weekend in the Philippines. And I appreciate you supporting our nets and supporting the Puget Sound Repeater Group. I always love to hear from you Steven. 7-3. Alright, we'll go ahead and do last call. Let's do last call for the PSRG 9 PM net. Last call. Kilo Kilo 7, Fox Kilo Bravo, 3 with an I.O. Alright, I accept. I accept your I.O. Have fun on vacation. 733, more stations please.

Let's go ahead and run this round and go back up and talk to James. Wooski, Quebec Seven Hotel. Good morning, James. WQ 7H, this is James. Good morning, everyone, and listen, you guys. You guys! Thank you so much for doing the net this morning. It's great to hear everybody. Stone, ground, mustard. Boy, that sounds like a real treat. It's always wonderful being up in Canada, and it's been so long since I've been up there. I think the last time I was up there, I was in Kelowna. Boy, that is just such a lovely place. Of course, Vancouver. Love the aquarium. Man, oh man, oh man. Wonderful, wonderful place. November, Quebec, November. Fair enough. I am moving really slow this morning. I don't think I'm going to move fast today. I was out yesterday. Took care of some much needed stuff. Got my daughter's car scheduled for some maintenance next Wednesday. And there you go. So, I'm going to just kind of lay low. I did get some much needed refresh on my sweatpants that now fit. They're not falling off of me. That's what happens when you lose all this weight. So, there you go. I'm in much better shape. And with that, I will bid everyone adieu. Beautiful day. Don't burn. And RTFM. WQ7H back to net. Love your check in there, James. Thanks. Good to hear from you. My wife and I, that's where we met at NetManage. And we were, what would you say we were? We were doing developer support for a product that I don't think we knew of anybody who read the manual. So, we use that acronym all the time, RTFM. So, great to hear that. Again, throw back some memories there. And mustard. Hey, I didn't know you fermented mustard. I didn't know. I said, no, I didn't. I thought you just ground some seeds up in water. I don't think it works like that. But I've never done mustard. Hey, 73s, have a great weekend, James. Okay, up next is Brooks, K9, BDC. Good morning, Brooks. Good morning, Dana and Teresa and everyone on the net. K9, BDC, Brooks here in Newcastle. I'm going to be doing a little bit of a review of the product. Good morning, Dana and Teresa and everyone on the net. K9, BDC, Brooks here in Newcastle. Having a pretty good morning this morning. I'm just sitting here with some old brew coffee. And coming here, we are sitting out in the family room because the office, the office slash ham shack is completely empty. And the gentlemen are here taking the popcorn ceiling down to the last room of the house. So they're going to do that today. And then get that primed and they're going to come back in the morning and finish up the painting in there. So then I can assemble my new desks and get those put in place. So, yeah, that's all very exciting. Let's see, today we've got the board meeting coming up at about 30. And I'm looking forward to the rain or shine tomorrow. Tomorrow is a lot of fun. That's what we've got going on here. Tracy is all spread out on the couch. Just snoozing. Remy, I think, is on the floor right below her. And now we're just hanging out. Thanks for doing the net, 73. Dana, BDC. Hey, Brooks. Great to hear from you. I'm 63 at check-in. I'm 73-2. You have a great weekend. And I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. K9 BDC, KG7 CGP.

K9 MLR, Megan here at Pullman Newcastle. 33 TU bolts and gradu bolts are going to make it tomorrow. It'll be good to see you at the Rainer shine and Green Lake tomorrow. I just finished cutting out the ice cream tickets. They are all cut out and ready to go for tomorrow. And then my little brother is moving today. So I think I'm on duty to help move some boxes. Because I'm not going to be able to help moving the big heavy stuff. Because I'm just not going to do that stuff. But I guess I'm on call for that. I don't really know. They said they were picking up the moving truck at 9. And I haven't heard from them. So while I'm waiting to hear from them, I'm just going to relax and take it easy. Thank you both for doing the net. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. 73, that brought the K9 MLR. Hey, Megan. Thanks for your check-in this morning. Look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Hey, 73s. Have a great weekend. K9 MLR. Up next is tree, Kilo Kilo 7. Foxtrot Kilo Bravo. Good morning. Hey, good morning everybody. Wow, it is turning out to be a very beautiful day. It was also a very beautiful night as well. I woke up around 3.30 in the morning, just sort of wide awake. So I hung out, went outside a little bit. Howled at the moon. My neighbors were totally thrilled. Just kidding. But it was a really beautiful moon last night. And then I hacked on some code up until around 6.30 in the morning. And then I felt tired again so I went back to bed. And now I'm just kind of getting up and waiting for my coffee to finish brewing. Yeah, it's going to be one of those Saturdays. Other than that I just wanted to say hello. Take care everybody and have a fantastic day. K8K7 Foxtrot Kilo Bravo. Hey tree, great to hear from you. Make me laugh about howling at the moon. That was funny. Yeah, the moon was beautiful yesterday. So we're going to be doing, we just got a telescope for looking at the stars. We're doing some stargazing. And we did some stargazing the other night. It stayed up too late to really get up and work the next morning. So yeah, we're doing that these days. We're stargazing. So we're going to get our telescope out and check out the moon tomorrow. Or tonight, excuse me. Hey, have a great weekend. Hope to see you tomorrow. Kilo Kilo 7 Foxtrot Kilo Bravo. Okay, K8K7 CGP.

Okay, this is K8K7 CGP. I just have to say that I'm not going to turn it over to my lovely wife. I think I'm going to take a call to her. She's lost her uncle over this past few days. I think yesterday he passed. It was about a year after her father's passed. So she had to take a call with her aunt. So my condolences to K8K7 AII for her loss.
