And like you know, we were talking about robot vacuum cleaners and stuff earlier on. I mean, these are robots, you know, out here and grab the stuff off the front porch. And then I got to thinking, well maybe if I just had the robot dog that would go out and bark at people, maybe that would work. Stand over your package and bear his teeth and threaten people like, oh yeah, oh they have real dogs for them too. Yeah, we don't have a real dog, don't want a real dog for the Chinese. Anyway, if we were to go to a good, clear, good site, there's a place about, I don't know, maybe 30 miles west of here, maybe a little more than that, where a lot of people like to go, you know, where the light pollution isn't as bad. But as for me, I don't go anywhere. I don't drive. And so I got back into the hobby mainly because I saw that we had technology that would allow me to do this for the city, which was totally impossible back in the day. So yeah, I walked just a few feet out into my backyard and yes, I got security out there, the locked gate, motion detectors, cameras and all that stuff. And stuff that goes off if anybody walks out there. But yeah, just a little science experiment up in my yard.

But, yeah, it caught fire and it was melting. Did you see it melting? And as we went through the high temperature, the highest temperature point on the entry, you could see it sort of, if you watched it very, very closely, you could see it sort of, the metal solidifying again. And it still was. But, when I went up to it, they actually said that they removed some of the heat tiles off the heat shield at critical points, you know, along some fuel lines or something along that, at critical points to see if, you know, how much it would actually candle, you know, if there was an accident or whatever in real space flight, going to Mars and stuff like that. I call it near destructive testing myself. But, they use a couple of other words that meant exactly the same thing. But, yeah, did you, I think, did you see that? That's with the cameras.

I know Declan lost his phone once, not too long ago, and we went to search absolutely everywhere for it. When we were looking for our new car in the showroom, that was the only place it could have been. The kind of long story short, we were in the showroom pretty late in the evening, so they were not too far from closing up. We looked at all the way that sat in all the cars in the showroom kind of thing, that kind of stuff, before we decided on what we were going to purchase. So anyway, I walked in, I went soon as they opened, I went in and I tell what happened, any chance of having a look around? Yeah, no problems at all. So we went in all the cars, one by one, looking for the phone. And what had actually happened, I found it lodged between the seat, the passenger seat, on the left hand side, and the door pillar, between the front and the rear, sort of the left hand side doors. It was lodged in there. And obviously, when it sat down, the actual phone launched itself out of the pocket and landed by there. So we got it back. But yeah, we were lucky with that one. But yeah, some strange things happened. But I hope you managed to find it when you're not looking for it, because that's what normally happens. When I give up looking for something, you know, a couple of days later, or a couple of weeks later for that matter, oh, there it is, I moved something and there it is. I've been looking for like days deliberately looking for it and not finding it. And when you're not looking for it, it just pops up. And hope that happens for you anyway there, Ray. Okay, do you have anything further before I move along there, Ray? And hope you have a great rest of your day also. N9KGC from TW8SZL. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven, November, Quebec, November. Oh, well, thanks, Dave. I'm glad you found Declan's phone. That was pretty good going back to the dealer and finding it in the car. That was really good. Yeah, I'm going to see if mine pops up somewhere. If it does, I'll let you know. If it doesn't, then I guess it was gone for good. We'll see. No, nothing else. Nothing else much. I'm going to be here for a little bit yet before I leave. So I'll give this back to you. I'll probably talk to you next week or maybe before that. You never know. We'll be in touch. And our 7-3 there, Dave, from N9KGC." } ] }
