and you know, people who have gone to the Oregon coast to retire. One guy at work in fact, he retired. And we all said goodbye to him and then a year or so later he's back at work. And I think a lot of it just had to do with he got really, really bored. Because like you say, he's very isolated. It's wonderful to live in a beautiful place, but there's not much going on. You can only enjoy the view so much before you start getting kind of bored. When I was out in that little town where I grew up, I had to go back out there, family business, parents and stuff like that. So I was out there for, I don't know, about off and on, not full time, but out there off and on for about four years. I remember how sometimes I would just sit there and I remember sitting in my grandpa's chair. He was long gone by this time. I remember sitting there in my grandpa's chair going, I've been surfing, he's Facebook, literally for four hours. I've been sitting here in his chair just surfing and surfing and hitting like and surfing. Yeah, that was a sign of true boredom. Had I been a little smarter, I would have gotten back into ham radio and or astronomy back then in 2011. I think I was a little bit happier. Oh, I know, I didn't have any money. That's why I didn't have any money back then. About the time I started having some money, I wasn't out there anymore, so it didn't work out. Too bad, too. We had little darker skies and a lot more room to put up antennas. By that time, my long wire had been taken down, which is too bad. We used to have this long wire that was on like 150 feet long, went from the house out to some tree. I transmitted with it and stuff too. That was a good antenna. By the time I was out there for about four years, that was long gone too. I think that's the best way to survive in a place like that. Get hobbies like that.
