We did get something from Marie there, just for a second. But she didn't say anything. So we will go back to the top of the list and we'll go on to the next question. I was looking for something, I was sitting on the couch looking for something that is common to all people. Or most people. In the way of food. I want to try and ask a food question every Monday. And this one is about meatloaf. And I want to know, do you like meatloaf? Do you make it? And how do you make it? And what's your favorite kind? So tell me all you know about meatloaf. And we're going to start with Gerald, V01UKZ. Over to you Gerald, tell me all about your meatloaf. Hey, I gotta confess man. I was just watching a video and I was caught up in it. Can you guys get blueberry pie Oreos in the States? I just searched online, apparently they're not in Canada yet. But apparently they are a thing. I just saw someone eating them in a short video and they looked absolutely delicious. They've got like the white Oreo in the cookie part instead of the black one. And they got blueberry pie filling cream on the inside of these sons of guns. And they look fantastic. But what were you asking about meatloaf? Oh, not sequitur, okay. Yeah, do you make meatloaf? Do you have a favorite kind of meatloaf? How does your mom make meatloaf? We're finding all things meatloaf this morning. So over to you, V01UKZ. And I actually met Meatloaf back in the day. Back in the, I guess about 10 or 11 years old. And he was doing a concert here. It's not the Meatloaf you're talking about, but. And I ran into him and two of his backup singers. The female one and the male one. They used to go on tour with him. And I got to meet him, shake his hand, say hello. And I knew who he was back in the day because I grew up in the Meatloaf. My parents were big fans. But the meaty Meatloaf, the protein loaf that you're talking about. Buddy, I absolutely love it. And I make it the same way my mom makes it. With onions, green peppers, and red peppers. And grated mushrooms. They got to be grated because they got to be like fine in there. You don't want chunks of mushroom. Instead of using ketchup, a lot of people use ketchup as a binder. They use mustard and barbecue sauce instead of ketchup. And you got to bake it just that little bit extra longer on broil at the end of it. Because you got to get that nice crispy part on the top. You know, I haven't had Meatloaf in a while and my mouth is watering now just thinking about it. And since I started cooking everything in the air fryer, I'm wondering if I laid out a loaf in the air fryer, how well would that cook? Well, I might just have to find out, Gray. But how do you like your Meatloaf, man? Fill us in. Alright, D01UKZ, this is KC2PKG. I tend to make it, when I make it, I make it the way my mom did. Which is, you know, there's bread in it. And that becomes very important for the chew. That's what the bread is in there. And to absorb a lot of the fluid that comes out of it. And I could go on for hours about Meatloaf. And there's so many different kinds too. If you like donairs, that's a kind of sliced Meatloaf. Gyros, same thing. It's kind of a sliced Meatloaf. We're going to move on to D. D, I bet you know what we're talking about here. We're talking Meatloaf. How do you make it? Do you like it? So what do you do? KM4LBF. Well, this is KM4LBF. This is D. When it comes to Meatloaf, I have to make it for my husband. He's a Meatloaf mashed potato man. And the way I make Meatloaf, I make it very simple and fast. I even use ground meat, beef, or turkey. Depending on what's on sale. And I put breadcrumbs. Not egg, egg substitute. And my seasoning. I put different seasonings, different things to make it stick together. And I put it in the glass cookware. The same glass cookware where I make my lasagna in the grill. I use that also to make Meatloaf in the grill. And that's what I do. But when I do it in the house, I actually don't put it in the oven. I put it 4 to 5 minutes in the microwave and it just comes out just as good. And it's much quicker. So that's what I do for Meatloaf. KM4LBF, I'm going to have to say my 73 is great. Back to you. KM4LBF, this is KC2PKG. Well, we'll miss you. But we'll let you go and talk to you tomorrow, I hope. And you make it on the barbecue. On the grill. That's pretty cool. That's a good idea. AA4HO. Chuck, Meatloaf, do you like it? Do you ever make it? How do you make it? This is KC2PKG. Over to you. AA4HO. Oh, this is going to Ron. This is going to Ron, sorry. AA4HO. Meatloaf, do you like it? Do you make it? It's over to you, man. This is KC2PKG. Yeah, I'm definitely a fan, Greg. I like shepherd's pie. That's pretty cool. I haven't mastered making that, though. I usually have to eat it. You know, when somebody else made it. Though I will have mashed potatoes with my meatloaf. I tend to add a lot of fillers, like bread. Oatmeal. And then I'll put egg in it. So that it holds it together better. So when you slice it, you actually get a slice and it doesn't crumble. I add stuff like an onion soup mix with it. If not, I'll add liquid smoke. Some... Beef stock. Or bone broth. Beef bone broth. To enhance the flavor. Because I'll buy it pretty lean. And that kind of takes away from the flavor. So I'll have to use flavor enhancers with it. And bulk it up with stuff that... You know, I have to watch what I eat. Because I can't eat anything I want. And I put weight on it. So I'll fill it with lower calorie stuff. The good stuff that enhances the flavor. I even had a meat grinder around here. Where I ground my own hamburger up. So this way I knew how much fat was actually ground up with it. Instead of being so trusting and buying it from the supermarket. The ground sirloin is usually from the supermarket, not too bad. Ground sirloin doesn't really have a lot of flavor though. So I usually go get ground chuck or ground ground hamburger. If I'm going to be making meatloaf. And bake it. I've made it good in the microwave before. And actually I don't see much difference either way. So that's how I've been doing the meatloaf. When I get the urge. AA4HO Ron, you're on the start of that degree of negative control. AA4HO, thanks Ron. Yeah, you know it's interesting. I have settled on 80% ground beef. You know, try and get the 90 or 95 and it just ends up tasteless too much. So the 80% has got enough fat for real taste to it. Alright, I've got to fix a couple of things here. Alan had a comment and I want him to go ahead with his comment. Hope you can still remember it Alan. W0GL, over to you for a comment.

They're down in the boathouse, they like to sleep late, which is okay with me, so I'm not dealing with guests first thing in the morning. I get to do the net in the quiet of my own home. Saturday was sort of a down day for everybody, and we sent them off on their own to entertain themselves. And then yesterday we went out to lunch in Canada, and I was not arrested at the border, which I was worried about. And then we went to the supermarket, and then we came home and went out to dinner.

You see one thing on the register and what you end up paying is as long as the dollar is stolen, much less. So I don't know if it's a bargain though or not. I didn't analyze it that carefully.

I went back to it saying, I wonder if it's improved or what they've done. They had an Astro for business and it's being discontinued. I don't know if the Astro for home and it's a little three-wheeled robot with a screen that moves and has periscope with a camera on it so it can see on top of the counter and stuff like that but it didn't fly off the shelves.

They're getting rid of 14,000 lower corporate end jobs from their offices and replacing them with AI. What do you think about that and what kinds of things can we do to make that easier on the people? When I was a manager, 80% of the cost of any project was people and we're always trying to do it with less but people are expensive as George pointed out. They go on vacation, they have medical expenses, usually another 30 to 40% on top of their salary is the medical side, the insurance side, that kind of stuff. What can we do about that?
