Good evening Mike and I wanted everybody to talk about milkshakes and ice cream and what not. Now I really want some and it's getting pretty late. Probably too late for me to have that kind of stuff but wow. I wish I had some ice cream in the freezer. I think I have some popsicles in there though. Mike your signal was fading in and out a bit. You started off a little bit scratchy and then you know it would get pretty clean. And then get a little bit scratchy again. I was watching the microscope and you were pretty strong on I think it was magnolia. And then it would seem not very strong on magnolia. I'm not sure if you were moving around or if there was something that was causing your signal to come in and out. But I got your whole report and I just wanted to give you that feedback on the signal. So there you go. I hope that you have a great rest of your evening or night I guess it is. And 73 to you all of the members I hope to see you at the ice cream social coming up as well. And I'll talk about that more in a little bit when I do some announcements. Next up we have for Gulf India November Yankee Sierra. Come ahead how are you? Thank you very much for controlling. Good evening there in Seattle Washington and good afternoon from here in the Philippines. This is a station at for Gulf 1 November Yankee Sierra. For G1 and YS my name is Steven. You can sit here in the kind of city Philippines. Five minutes before one or three in the afternoon here of last day. And weather conditions are quite overcast and expecting of some rain here in my location. Just coming up and supporting the Puget Sound repeater net. Several of these to all of you. And my special thanks also to Joan, to Brooks, to Megan and everybody else for doing very very well in handling the social nets three times a day. The routine is out. Send it back to control for G1 and YS. Well it's great to hear from you all the way from the Philippines. Thanks for staying up and to come and check in with us to say hello. And thank you for your kind words. I hope that you take care, seven three and have a great rest of your night. Next up we have Dean, KJ7 ODD. How are you doing Dean? Good evening Cami and Robert and everyone on the net. I think Robert is asleep. Say hello to him for me. I hope everything is ok with Paul and Moxie. Normally I wouldn't say this but he never misses a net. It's very rare. I hope he's on a vacation or something like that. When you mention the Pyrex, I immediately went and grabbed this Pyrex measuring cup. It's funny because the lines only go up to one cup but you can easily fill it to two cups. I assumed I probably had an old one because it is old. I bought this thing probably in the early 90s. I remember originally buying it for doing photography for darkroom stuff. It's got the lower case logo on it. The upper case, the real vintage ones must be pre 1993 or something like that. Other than that, all this ice cream talk. Now I'm really hungry for ice cream. The other day I went to Molly Moon up on Capitol Hill with Rebecca and Matt. He had flown up from Oregon for seafare. It was kind of a jumbled trip for him because they wouldn't allow him to land at Boyne Field. He had to go to Auburn and Rebecca picked him up. He was still able to get together with a couple of us. For Rebecca and I, it was great seeing him. I hope it was worth the trip for him. Other than that, I look forward to the ice cream social. That should be a lot of fun. I remember the one a few years ago. KG7 ODB, back to that. It's always great to hear your voice. I've never been to Molly Moon before. I know exactly where it is and the one you're talking about. For whatever reason, I've just never been there. Let me ask you this. Have you ever gone to the Salt and Straw that's up there on Capitol Hill? I think they might have a couple of other locations as well. Back over to you, KG7 ODB. No, I have not been there. I've heard of it. But I don't believe. I'm trying to remember. I did go to an ice cream place. If you know where Pneumo's is, it's almost an alley. There's an inn there. I remember my sister and her husband and I about a year ago had ice cream in there. I can't remember if that was the name of the place. Anyway, I would suspect that Capitol Hill has so much good food up there and different places you can go. But you all have to look that up. Maybe it's good that there isn't a good ice cream place right near me. I was actually thinking, oh God, Joan lives like a block away. It must be really tough for her. In fact, she's probably going to run out and grab some ice cream now. I don't know if they're still open. They probably are. Anyway, back to you, KG7 ODB. Well, you'll definitely have to try the Salt and Straw. They have some pretty unconventional flavors of ice cream. I'll just leave it at that. They always have really good stuff. Then that made me think of Snow Goose that's up here near La Conner. It's at this fruit stand and we would drive by there. It would just be packed with cars. We would think, what in the world is going on here? I'm sure the produce is good, but is it really that good? There's that many cars just piled up at this fruit stand. One day we decided to stop. We decided we've got to go see what all the fuss is about about this produce stand. Well, come to find out, it's because they have an ice cream shop and not only an ice cream shop. They make the biggest ice cream cones I've ever seen. You see these grown-ups walking around with these scoops of ice cream that are about as big as their head. You can get more than one scoop and some people do. If we're able to lure you up north again, we'll take you up to Snow Goose. We can get ridiculously large ice cream cones. There's a pretty garden area where you can wander around and look at all the plants and stuff. Now I really, really, really want ice cream. There you go. Thanks so much for stopping by, Dean. I hope you have a great rest of your night. Next up and finishing us out on this round is Brian, PE-7KZ-8. How are you doing, Brian? Hey, you're giving me a candy and the rest of the net. You know, so you just gave me like, this is why I work from home most of the time. Because there is literally a salt and straw in the café of the building where my office is. So I have to walk by that all the time. You know, the funny thing is though, it closes early. It's only open at lunchtime. So honestly, when I'm there at lunch, I'm not likely to get ice cream. But like, kind of later in the day is when I would want it. And they're closed. So I guess that stops the temptation. Although I do tend to bring home, there's a Ticabella cupcake on the bottom floor there too. And I have brought home some cupcakes. But I can bring home and share with the wife and kids. Anyway, all right, Brian, PE-7KZ-8, huge preamble there. I just got back from Yellowstone and then down to Utah for a family reunion. Good times had by all. So, an excellent trip. It was kind of annoying. I've been on call for work. And I guess the good thing about that is the shift starts at 6 a.m. So I've already used to kind of getting up really early so even with the time change and stuff. And knowing we needed to get up early most of the days to like get into the park and all that good stuff. Just get on the road. That made it kind of easy and stuff. What wasn't easy is no one was covering my on-call shift Friday. So I had to do it from the road. Traveling through Idaho and Utah and I think part of Montana all while on call. And in a call for much of that. So thank you Starlink in the center of my car for making that happen. It worked quite well I must say. So anyway, let me reset real quick. Sorry, it's a long one tonight. I'm usually pretty quick. Anyway, it was a good trip. It was good to see a bunch of family down there in Utah. And went and visited the cemetery like where my, it must be my great great great grandpa. Oh man, there were a lot of really old graves there and stuff. We were wandering around and finding all the relatives and figuring out who's related to what. And all these people used different nicknames and so like who's Clement? Oh that was Bud. Oh, okay. I can't remember. Anyway, it was a good time. So I'm here at home and glad to be back and sleep in my own bed. Pretty exhausted. Still on call for work within all of this. So with that, that'll come nice and early tomorrow morning. So with that, I'll send it back. Thanks for picking up the net there. Chaney waves to Robert. It sounds like he's off to bed. And hopefully we can catch you all Sunday. I'm hoping to go. I'm hoping to go. Bye. Ice cream, ice cream. TZ7, TZ7, he's back to net. Brian, I would be doomed if there was a salt and straw anywhere near where I work or live. So it's probably a good thing that we don't have anything like that in Arlington. And even if we did, everything closes by six o'clock. So unlike Capitol Hill where there's a line out the door at 11 p.m., there's nothing like that here. But again, probably a good thing for me. And Marysville has a little bit more open a little bit later than we do here, but not nearly as much as they do in the city or Capitol Hill. And well, the traveling sounds fantastic. And what's up, multi-tasking, working and traveling? I'm glad that you're able to do that, though, so you're not, so you are able to go. That's great. And yeah, Robert's been asleep for some time. So it's way past his bedtime. He's got to get up really early and go to work. So do I, but I never sleep, so that works out pretty well for me. Great to hear from you, Brian. I hope that you do make it to the Ice Cream Social and then we can all have ice cream together. 7-3, thank you. All the numbers. You have a great day. Speaking of the Ice Cream Social, I could probably do some announcements. I'm going to reset and we'll go through the announcements.
