Well, we'll keep it at this nice small round and I may do a check-in at the end. So we're going to go over to Matt, KJ7WQI for a recheck. Well, hey there, Dean. I wanted to pop in here quickly and consider how can you give me a signal report real quick. K-67, go ahead and try. Oh, there's a little noise, but you're perfectly readable, much better than you were before. Over to you. Perfect. Before I was in the parking lot of the North Cape Park in Ryerson, I had to pick up Anna. We had our ties moved and now we're back at the house. These are ties moved by my mountain for a full day on fire and I have a flooding which is a really good tie for your son. I have a built in the area, but as tight as I am, right there across from the base where you can see it, and I can see it from the front yard over there and the front hill is really good. It's very, very crazy. I got to go for three minutes, but if you use this place, what will I hear up there? I wanted to pop back in and actually hopefully be heard now that I'm back at the CH. I will throw it back to you, lovely area, and we'll get up and run around that fair and recheck. Hopefully we'll be able to get back to KJ7WQI. Alright, thanks a lot Matt. Well, the good news and the bad news. The good news is, I'm really glad you checked in. The bad news is you mentioned Thai food and I am now hungry. So, anyway, hopefully see you tomorrow at the Ice Cream Social. So next we have from Florida, Elaine, M3OMO. How are you tonight? Hello Dean, this is M3OMO, aka Oink Blue Oink. I'm doing very well, thank you. It was about 102 today. We had a very strong thunderstorm this afternoon. One of the neighborhoods not too far from us, the electricity went out. Ours blinked on and off, but that was it. Which brings me to my next subject. I had decided, my brother and I, my brother who lives with me, Rob, and I had decided that we would get a Generex generator. Charlie called me and told me he's had one for about five years and it's absolutely wonderful. And then when my brother went to his church's rehearsal for the band for tomorrow morning, he found out that the lead guitarist also has a Generex generator. And I do think that it's important, in Florida in particular, during this hurricane season, that we have something that will keep us cool and keep the lights on and keep the freezer and refrigerator cold. And protect the animals as well as ourselves. So anyway, on Monday I'm going to call and ask about that and ask the propane guy that I get propane from what it would entail to get an extra tank so the Generex can run off of that. I do not have natural gas like some people do, but we can certainly run it off of propane. So that's my next investment and I think it will be a very, very good one. So everyone have a great day tomorrow. Enjoy all the ice cream. I wish I could be there. But it's a little far from Florida to, I believe, Washington. We're a three hour difference here too. It's almost 1 a.m. So 73's everybody. Have a great night, a good day. Have extra ice cream for me. Take care everyone. November 3. Oscar Mike Oscar. Well thanks Elaine. I'm going to maybe bribe Meghan into giving me your ticket so I can have some extra ice cream. Anyway, I appreciate all the talk about generators. It's always great to have extra power. Well especially if you live in a place where you've got hurricanes and other forms of natural disasters. Of course, out here we've got volcanoes and earthquakes and occasional wind storms. But when you look at the price of backup power, it's becoming pretty negligible. Also keeping the refrigerator going. Madeline, KJ7NUW was talking recently about how she would put her refrigerator on her power backup. And how efficient the refrigerator is and how little power it uses. So it's a really good thing to have. Anyway, I appreciate you checking in. I'm also looking forward over the next several weeks hearing some football reports from you. I don't know if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have played yet. But Charlie is coming up and maybe he has some. I know he always talks about his Eagles. So actually over to you Charlie. How are you tonight? Thanks for watching!
