Hi, five. That's four. Hey, Dedede, how you doing, Jeanette? I'm talking to regular Mike on the phone. I knew it was coming through, but my headset a few minutes ago, the little lady's voice came on and said, no battery. You know, it's interesting, though. You know, I like my toys that I liked over the last year when I got the wireless mic and the headset, you know, that I don't have so I can use on Echo Link. But the headset, you know, when you go into your settings, you know, you can find out how much power is left. I get a chuckle out of it because by the time it tells me it's time to recharge it, it's only got like 10% battery left. I get a kick out of that. I don't know, typical spring day here. Well, we started out like this morning. It was overcast with just like a few breaks. There was the possibility of it. I think just before I went out, we, well, a little bit, like maybe an hour before, it rained pretty hard, but only for like maybe 10 minutes. But you know, just looking at that in general, you know, this year being the way it's been, you know, that's an order. But here in my hometown, we really need more of it. I mean, it's going around us. It's going through us at times. But as it stands today, we are two inches below normal for this time of year, for this month. Just to give you an idea, there's areas of the grass. Everything's green, but you can tell it's a little dry in spots. So we really do need the rain. Let me reset. And I know you're returning, but I want to wish you a happy birthday. And boy, that's when you're lucky. It's coming on a Sunday. Now here's an interesting question for you. And I forgot to answer the other one. When you come back, what do you like better? Because boy, birthday cakes, oh man, are they good. And I haven't had one in years. Do you like the chocolate better? Or do you like the vanilla cake better? I like both, but as time went on, I settle on the vanilla. That icing, there's just nothing that can beat that icing. This is repeater spot, kilo, kilo seven, November, Quebec, November, November. As far as like what I used to do, you know, whatever, I'm pretty much the same as I've always been. But it's like, for one thing, like radio, I wouldn't go on a rooftop anymore to mess around with an antenna. But there's no reason for me to do that either because I'm in a condo now. But when I was younger, like in my novice days, I'd be up there, I used to like to put wires up and stuff and vertical, little vertical VHF, UHF antennas and stuff like that. But like Jay said, and I agree with that. I mean, I love the equipment and all that, but man, do I love antennas and transmission lines. I think that's where it's at. If it comes between a linear and an antenna, the antenna is the most important of the two. No question hands down. But what I would say, in general, I mean, you know how fans are, I am a dwarf, full of HD antennas. Let me reset one more time. And they do the returning. The first thing I would do, and I only have three of them, but the first thing I do, if I have a new HD, is take the stock antenna off, put it in the door, and then put a better antenna on it and like a diamond or something along those lines to get the maximum distance or quality out of it that I can do. That's one of the first things I do. So anyway, so come on back there, Jeanette, and tell me, what do you like better? Is it gonna be chocolate cake tomorrow, or is it gonna be vanilla? N-H-U-D-D, back to you.
