I've been to all those on the west coast. I'm a former soldier, was stationed at Fort Lewis and briefly in the 70s and I just like to get in there. I'm here a small star. And you know, just seeing if I could be lucky enough to talk to Puget Sound again, as I did a couple times this week. And basically, I just want to say hello and everyone have a good safe weekend. G-E-A-T-U-F-T, back to you. This is repeater station 27. Well, Fred, I hope that you come back and visit us again next day, 9 a.m. noon and 9 p.m. all pacific time. You're welcome to come back. Save us in your favorites. Our all star node is 2462. We're a really active repeater as well. So even if you're, you know, homing and hawing and bored after dinner, just throw your call star out and there's always someone that's there and ready to care, ready to beg too. So well Fred, have a wonderful, wonderful weekend and I hope to hear from you again. And yeah, that was probably exactly the same. Honestly. 7-3 Fred. All right, next is Doug, who is a new agent off grid, KF7, okay. Come ahead with your report Doug. Thank you, thank you for hosting the net, KF7 okay. And I am on grid in my home in Linwood. I have hot and cold running water. I have indoor toilet, okay. I have heat if I need it, not that it's really neat this time of year. I have air conditioning, right. Home cooked meals and all that sort of thing. You know, the things that everybody takes for granted, you know, it does give you perspective. I gotta tell you when you are off grid, right, and you learn to make yourself comfortable off grid, you get a different kind of awareness, if you wanna call it that, because you become very self-sufficient. You learn how to fix things. You learn how to make lists and bring what you need next time. And you get very well organized. If you're not, you just wouldn't do very well off grid. Yeah, but I'm back, you know, probably back in a few weeks or so. And I'm still cutting the wood that I brought back. This is all wild cherry. Wild cherry is very difficult to split by hand. It's kind of like the fibers are epoxy together, you know. It's not like maple or alder where you smack it with a maul and it just flies apart, you know, or anything else like that. But I'm definitely in a city living on grid like most of you people. But as I say, I become very aware of the creature comforts that everybody takes for granted. And so, you know, it's cool. I can't wait to get out there again. KF-7, okay, back to you. Thanks.
