And Jeanette and the rest of the net N5AQM might care in West Chandler, Pat Chandler, same thing, Arizona. Right outside of Phoenix, we're due south of Tempe. Tempe City border is about a mile and a half north of me at this location. It kind of wiggles around, it goes a little further north, but uh, and to the west, goes all the way out to I-10. I-10 is an annexed sub-division called Awatukee, which is now part of Phoenix, and we're also due south of Mesa, and Gilbert borders us on the east side, and it's Indian Reservation to the south. The res line is the 202 freeway, and it's about a half a mile south of where I live here. I don't know what Chandler's famous for, I've lived here 42 years, I'm still trying to figure it out. You know, um, there's a lot of history here, the San Marcos Hotel in downtown Chandler is a historical, it's on the historical register, I think that's what they call it. And it's been there since 1890 or something like that, way before Arizona was a state. But uh, yeah, this morning, beautiful, man, we are having, we were all talking about it out at the flying field this morning, that maybe, you have to comment if you've actually seen it from the air, um, when I showed you where it was at there on the map. Let me reset. This is what you're seeing? Um, man, it's been beautiful, this morning it was like 75, really dry, I liked this the last four mornings, so I'm out there at the crap of dawn every morning, with some airplanes, and everybody's coming out early, but it's just been delightful, the weather's been really great. We're having the coolest, uh, summer that without anybody remembers, it's not been blistering hot, we've had a couple days of 115, 116, it's gonna be 110 tomorrow, but that's like at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. You know, tomorrow morning it's been 75 again, and right at the first daybreak, man, there's actually a chill in the air because it's so dry right now, I'm waiting to get some rain, but that's another story. Um, but yeah, beautiful flying weather, just did calm, cool, and a big crowd this morning at the flying field, it was packed, I'm glad I got my flying in early when I got there early, because it was getting to be quite a circus of airplanes in the sky. Um, let me reset again, and I'll tell you a little bit about my past.
