Oh, man, I got real... I'm just... You know, that's another thing that really got me going. They just... Trying to get my food delivered, and they... You know, they just don't get it sometimes. And a lot of time it's a language barrier, which I hate to use that, but this time it was. And half my order got delivered, and the other half got delivered to the front of the building, which is... I don't know how they did that. Anyway, then the ball game, and you know, just like it can be frustrating sometimes. And annoying. Let's see what else I was going to say here. Anyway, I'm too distracted. Back to you, John. AB6MB. Sorry, Jeff, you caught me chewing on a pickle. I take two jars... I bought two jars of pickles today, and little ones. And as per my normal MO, I swap. I get one regular dill, kosher dill, and the other, you know, like sweet pickles, but I swap the vinegar juices between them to make an in-between. And I have... I just put another piece of my mouse. Why did I do that? Anyway, Jeff, sorry having DoorDash difficulties. I solved the potential problem of dealing with DoorDash by never using it. Take care, Jeff, and hope everything is there in sunny middle California. Here's the boundary. We've reached the boundary between the first round and one Roman numeral to the second round. But before I start another... ask for some more stations, I am going to do the announcements. My point of reference for the announcements is going to the psrg.org home page for the Puget Sound Repeater Group. We're also in social media, PSRG discussion group in Facebook, and the PSRG Discord server in Discord. And the special notices that are on the home page where the most important ones are... ...is there are some pics. Jack posted some of the panoramic pictures of us. And it looks like he was... It's really small. I need stronger reading glasses to see these photographs. Go take a look, folks. I have to move past the microphone. My strongest glasses on. It does look as though Jack is opposite right on the... Is that Jack on the right on the first one? Jack is in different places in each one. All right. Switch back to the medium strength reading glasses. And get back on mic. I have my MacBook in the windowsill to my left. And I have one of the iPads with the scripts curved to the right. And then another iPad in the middle. I have a messenger chat. Anyway, here we go. PSRG board meeting Saturday, August 9th. That is this coming weekend. And the details are there. And there'll be a Zoom link posted on our home page. And anyone is invited to attend and comment, but only board members will vote. And then also coming up next weekend... Oh, no, wait. The day after on Sunday, yes, this weekend is also the PSRG season 7 episode 5 rain or shine new net and ice cream social. That's August 10th. And you can find all the details on the PSRG.org home page, but I'll read a bit of text here. It's going to be on the east side of Green Lake. Folks who've been there before, it's going to be in the same place it's been the other times we've been on Green Lake, which is north of the Paddleboke Rentals and Green Lake Cafe on the eastern side of the lake. Cammie and Robert are going to be running the net. Stop by the net tables and pick up your ice cream ticket before you go to the cafe concession stand. I believe we all have tickets for a complimentary ice cream of some sort. And let's see... Bring a folding chair, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, electric bike. I've got the word this evening that another person, and yet another person is joining our electric bicycle pool in the club and will be showing up. And then of course the ZeroTries Digital Conference September 13th in Everett. And I'll read some of the blurb here. Plans, presentations and demonstrations will be designed to enhance the skills and knowledge of the participants with topics such as, but not limited to, the IP400 networking project, M17 digital voice data system, MMDVMTNC data system, and many other things, you know, VPN software, Define Radio, and HamWAN, one of my favorite topics, which is about microwave networking. Not only do we have a microwave network, a 5 gig microwave network here, Western Washington is also up in the East Coast somewhere, but it's an open microwave network. It's not closed like a commercial net. And so the HamConnect program for New Hams is also a list of hot links to the different hotspots for that, different meetings and stuff. All right, and then again the events to consider on the sidebar, again is the PSRG board meeting on Zoom and the PSRG new net and ice cream social on Sunday, et cetera. Those are the announcements. Let me bring my other windows to the front. And I'm picking up my pencil, taking a sip of my delicious Joan Brew coffee. Mmm, she is coming in. Now starting a second round, a middle round.
