And I got mad in there KJ7WQI. That makes a healthy list. So let's go back to the top and chat with Amy KB9IQX33. Amy, how was your day? Well, 33 to you Megan. 73 to Brooks. Thank you for doing the net. 70 howdy! And 73 to everybody on the net. I'm doing pretty I'm doing pretty well even if you're a stickler for a very precise grammar. I'm here curbside. Which I realize this summer is something I have not done as much as previous summers. I have not just, you know, been curbside outside here in my shop, my garage, my driveway. Just ending the day and enjoying the net. And it feels nice. It's a nice summery thing to do. So I'm doing well. Let's see, I had a pretty fun day at work. I was not out in the field. I was actually doing data monkey work all the time. Which then I was like, ah! That's one reason I really love my job. Because some days I get to, you know, you know, put on the grubby work clothes, put on the high-vis vest, have my clipboard and hard hat. And you know, I get to drive around the city and I get to drill holes in the street and pound nails in. Which is cool. And nowadays I get to kick back in the air conditioning, wear masks with people, professionals, have meetings with people, do some desk work. The variety that I enjoy. I love you all. And then I was talking to KJ7NUW just before the net on a different repeater. And it was fun because she was at home and I was kind of roving around within a few block radius of the neighborhood. I checked out this part in the high-tension power line. And I was like, oh, I'm going to go home. I'm going to go home. And I checked out this part in the high-tension power line right away where it looks like some neighbors are getting together and building a little park area. And it was really cool. And then I walked over and I saw, like, I was peering into some of the houses that were for sale in the neighborhood. So I kind of felt like, you know, she was at ops, you know, monitoring field agents. And I was out in the field and, you know, maintaining radio communication, maintaining comms. I think this qualifies as comms with a Z. And, you know, reflecting back, making sure that I completed the mission. So I felt very engaging and like now that I'm listening to the net. I hope everybody had a great day. I hope everybody has a wonderful tomorrow. KB9 IQX. Well, Amy, that is super fun. Curbside at your home QTH. Yeah, that's always fun in the summertime. We always forget how fast summer goes and then we don't get around to all the things we had planned to do this summer, which is always such a bummer. But I guess there's always next summer? I don't know. It's almost like you have to plan it out before it even gets here and then it's here and gone and you're like, wait, but I didn't get to everything. I know what you mean there, Amy. It's hard to get to it all. But glad you got to hang out in the air conditioning today. Well, I guess you didn't really need the air conditioning, but it was nice to be out of the rain, I bet. So that's kind of fun. You get to be in the office and out in the field. That makes it kind of exciting and a little more interesting. It's never the same old, same old, which is always my favorite thing. That's so boring. Glad to hear you got to talk to Madeline, KJ7 and UW before the net. Hope she's doing well. Hopefully we'll get to see you at the ice cream social this weekend at Green Lake on Sunday. You take care, Amy. Have a great rest of your work week and hopefully we'll see you soon. All right, it is 907 p.m. I'm K9MLR Megan. Now we're going to go talk to Ann, K89, EHB33. To you, Ann. Good evening. To the rest of the team. Hey, what's going on? It's an interesting night. My husband had a more interesting time than I did. I'm having a harder time dealing with picnics these days. This one with its spotty seating and rather irregular seats. The layout was more exhausting than I really wanted to deal with. We walked back home and then my husband went back. I guess they're developing little emergency clusters around here and looking for ham radio operators. That's interesting. I don't know anything more about it than that. That was interesting last night. Today I worked on some stories and I'm getting ready to practice some harp and listen to a radio show that I sometimes like. Tomorrow I'll work on some more stuff and do more harp. On Friday I'll be back up at the gallery. That's about all that's happening in my life. I'm less than a week away from Worldcon now so I'm making a list of all the stuff I have to do to get ready for the next one. Including assembling a little actual military costume. I've got to work on that tomorrow. Anyway, that's about all the news at IS News. 73, 33, 88, oh the numbers. Thanks, Megan and Brooks for doing the net. Thank you all for listening. I love you all. This is KA90HB back to net.
