Let's go to the East Coast first with Paul, KC1VQS. Hey, Paul. Yeah, good afternoon, Jack and everyone on the net. We've had a beautiful day here in Maine. It's 80 degrees. Yeah, it's 80. The sunny and calm wind and low humidity can't beat that. Yeah. And we haven't had any more Canadian smoke since the weekend. So that's a good thing. Monday, it was pretty bad. And I've kind of been off the radio more this past week because my wife took a spill. And she fractured three vertebrae and a rib. So she was home for a bit. So I was helping her. And she's able to go back to work in the last couple of days. So she's doing better. Still sore. The doctor said it's just rest. Take it easy. Don't list anything. Just favor it as much as you can. And she has a desk job. So she's patting her chair and stuff. So she's doing OK. Not perfect, but OK. Better than she was. So yeah, that was an unfortunate thing. But yeah, we're celebrating her birthday this weekend. So that'll cheer her up with a lobster dinner. That's what we're going to do. Anyway, we're going to enjoy the rest of the afternoon. Hope you do too, Jack. Have a great day. And we'll talk again soon. This is KC1DQS. All right, yeah, I think, no, I'm not sure you mentioned that your wife had the spill there. Oh, that's a bummer. Oh, boy. All right, so she's got the desk job. She's getting back to work. Or she had a limited schedule. Does she have the ability to take some personal time off if she needs? Yeah, she does have sick leave. And she did take some of that. She actually fell off our dock and landed on rocks. And that's what did the injury. And it was a wound shear. She put a little too much weight on it. And the chair gave way. And both of them ended up off the dock. So that was not fun. And she did take some time. But she's trying to save as much as she can. Because the end of the 23rd, she goes on vacation for two weeks. And she's trying not to cut into that time. Because she's not ever had two weeks in a row before. And she's really looking forward to this. So she says if she can grin and bear it, she's going to try to see it through. And the doctor said there's no limitations as long as you. Lifting is a bad thing. And not a lot of walking. That kind of bothers her. But sitting doesn't so much. And as long as she can tolerate that, the doctor said she's fine. So there's nothing that's going to come out of place. It's all just mostly cracks or fractures. And nothing is just lodged or anything. So anyway, hopefully that will help. And the only painkiller she's on is Tylenol. And she takes that regularly. And that does help. So yeah, it was one of those freak things that happened. And you never know. So back to you, Jack. KC1-VQS. Hey, I7RMU with the new net here on the PSR. Do you hear Peter in Seattle, Washington? Well, Paulie, you did mention that. Yes, indeed. Yeah, yeah. As soon as you mentioned the dock and the rocks, oh boy. It all came flooding back. Well, you take care of her. And boy, that's really something. She's really lucky that it's not worse. That's for sure. And she's still able to get out on her vacation. Just take it easy. Well, I guess take some books. Take your Kindle. Have your phone nearby. And maybe you can rent a pedal, one of those petticaps. That would be kind of fun. Or something similar to that. And you'd be able to take a run on that somehow. I don't know. Well, anyway, you'll let us know. And that's really great. I'm glad that she's able to still build. All right. Well, Paulie, you have a great afternoon. Thank you for coming by. And all the best to you and your wife, of course. K6PKL. Hey, Bill. What's happening with you? Oh, I'm just sitting here lounging right now. Bubba, I need to get up. I want to mention to you about, or you said 3 million internationally, about having a ham license. And you know, when I listened into the WorldNet on TalkGroup 91 on Saturday, we have Check-In now, which is up over 500. OK, so. And that's from all over the world. And what my register in my AnyTone now has about 220,000 users in there. And that means whenever they transmit, well, it comes up and it gives me information about their location, their name and all that stuff on the screen on the AnyTone. And that will hold 500,000. So I can see that we're seeing this. And as fast as I load in the new database in there, which takes probably about 5, 10 minutes. But anyway, generally, I come on there and within a few days, I see new Check-Ins because it will just show there are no call. You have to register a number. You probably know that in DMR to be able to even access the repeater. It won't even recognize you unless you have an ID number. So anyway, I thought I'd mention that. Yeah, our hobby continues to say really vibrant K6P Hill. Well, it truly is the hobby of the thousand, the hobbies as K7DRQ famously said. That's Quentin, of course. So yeah, it's really just amazing hobby. And it's a great service as well. So many different aspects. And we like them all, even though we haven't tried them. And sometimes we haven't even heard of them. But when we hear something new, you go, wait, what's that? I got to look that up. OK. Anyway, all right, Bill. You have a great afternoon. Thanks for checking in today. Let's see what else is out there. Let's do, let's see what time is it? 1252. I think I'll do last call then for the new net. I'm Jack KI7RM. You're on the PSR gear, two meter repeater here in Seattle, Washington. So command call sign name, last call. WFM. JFM. John. John, I've got you. Who's doubling with John, please?
