Kilo Kilo 7, Fox Kilo Bravo, Tree. Hey, good afternoon, Tree. I've got you on the list. Hey, let's go back to Harmon and say hello. Harmon, how are you? KM-7AWB. Hello, everyone. I'm back in Seattle here, enjoying the rain like everybody else. I've been getting over a little bit of jet lag from having the opportunity to spend a few days with family in the London area this past month. I had kind of an interesting, maybe fun fact to share. I was in the Richmond area by London, which everybody probably knows is the location of the fictional Premier League soccer team coached by Ted Lasso, the Richmond Greyhounds. But a more truthful story is that it's also the location where George Vancouver wrote his journals after he returned from this part of the country, and it's also where he is married and I had the chance to visit his grey site. He passed away about two years after he returned to England, and so a lot of what came to pass from his voyage was well known then, so his grey site is just kind of a nondescript single grey. But given the fact that he was the fellow that was named Mount Rainier and Whippy Island and Puget Sound and on and on up the coast, I thought it might be something to be interesting to know that he's buried in St. Peter's Church just by the Richmond area. With that, I think I'll send it back to the net. KM-7AWB, Harmon. Alright, that sounds like a fantastic vacation. I just have time to get out and see various things in the London area, visit with family, and then go to the grave of George Vancouver. And I believe that those journals, I'm just trying to look that up, I think they are already on the, uh, I got that translated. I think this, well, there's a number of things about the Northwest on Project Gutenberg, but I think that Vancouver journals are there now. I'm trying to look that up, and I think that these are them. But of course, they are available. Oh, that's great, that is really cool. Well, welcome back, good to hear you, and I didn't even know you were over there. I had no idea, so that's fantastic. Alright, next time, we'll talk to you soon, I hope. Okay, let's see who is next. I think it's James WQ-7H. Hi James, what's going on this afternoon? WQ-7H, I'm James, good afternoon Jack and everyone. It's always good to hear Michael. We have waste management going through the neighborhood, so Hazel's very excited to see her friends, which means that she's missed sparks a lot. I've been back in the cave here, taking care of business. Taking care of business! And so I'm just about finished up here. And then I'm going to have a little lunch, and try to run. I want to do something. I need to thank Gregor, he's the guy with good eyes. I was having troubles with a shell script last night, and I had a parenthesis in the wrong spot. And by golly, he took about five seconds to spot it. So thanks to Gregor, the man with the good eyes. So he sure helped out a lot. That was a big help. Big, big, big, big, big help. Thank you Gregor. And that's kind of what's going on. Tomorrow I'm going to run down to VEDCO and pick up a 1-8 inch, is that the size? Smaller plug. My key has a ginormous quarter inch audio plug on it. On my paddles. And the new radio doesn't take that. I don't want to use an adapter. So we're going to go down and get the correct plug, the little mini plug. And swap that out so that I can use my paddles to practice. Practice, practice, practice. And probably stop by the fruit market and pick up some stuff. I have one onion left. And there it is. Get ready for the weekend. WQ7H back to Jack. Alright James, have fun at VEDCO. Well, you know like any kind of fun store like that, where they have so much stuff. You go in there, hey do you guys have this? I just need a little 1-8 inch plug of some sort for your key. Oh yeah, it's right here. Here you go sir. And you get that and then you're like, okay thank you. Let's see, how much is that? And then you see something in the case. Then you see something off to the side and you say, could you just hold onto that for me? I'll be back in just a few minutes. I see a couple of things I may want or actually you think you need them but you probably don't. But it's just so cool you got to have it right? Have you ever had that experience at VEDCO?
