and everybody on the net. I have trouble as usual. I'm having to use my computer, which is not working properly. And I think our repeaters shut off because we're moving our clubhouse from one place to another. And the clubhouse has been there since, I think, about 76 or something. And anyway, so I'm having to use the computer. Anyway, let's see. Yesterday, I didn't get to check in because I was counting on being able to do it mobile. But since the computer was down, or the repeater was down, I couldn't do that. So anyway, I did get some work done outside yesterday. I'm building a form for some concrete I got to pour. And that's going to be fun. And there's heat. And it was fun working out there. I had to quit ever so often to come in and cool it out a little bit. It's already 78.6 out there and 73% humidity, sun shining naturally. But here this morning, we're having a picnic for our DARE Club, which is the Dayton Amateur Radio Association Club that puts on the ham invention. And it's going to be located in senior where the ham invention was. So I got to drive out there in a little while. So I'm looking forward to the picnic and eating some good food and seeing the company in the DARE Club. So with that, back to you, Gina. Everybody on it, have a great day. All right, family. We'll take you out to your picnic there with the radio club. And yeah, enjoy your Sunday. And yeah, I just want to let you know that you have inspired me in the past to make some pepper sauce. So I've got some of that going. Today I've got to check it, see how it's fermenting. And I'm excited to try that out. But you've always, in the past, made granule peppers and made your own hot sauces there. So I just wanted to let you know that your inspiration inspired me to try this recipe. So just a little side note there. So enjoy your Sunday again, and enjoy your picnic there. All right, next up, I've got Mel, KB7TVW from KB7GEC. And good morning, Mel. Well, good morning. I guess it's going to be a hot one today. Supposed to be in the upper 90s, 97 or so. Maybe some parts will probably get hotter. I don't know. But we have good. We just had a new air conditioner put in a couple months ago. So we're good. It's working fine unless we lose power. Anyway, bridge fell going on in Portland today. A couple thousand bicycles are going on. We're hanging over a lot of the bridges. We've got eight or nine bridges here in Portland. Most of them are going to be closed so the bicycles can go over them. That's a big deal. We used to do ham radio for them, but before COVID. And I don't know if they're still using hams or not. I'm going to check the local repeaters and see if they're still operating. And let's see. Going to get some garbage out before it gets too hot for tomorrow. And that's about it. Maybe have some breakfast here in a minute. KB7TVW, you're backing up. All right, Ben. Oh, yep. Good to get all those chores done before our heat comes in. We were worried about that. Our Portland Pickles and our baseball team is in the playoffs. And if they didn't win two of the three games in the series, they would be playing tonight. And thankfully, they closed them out last night, 12 to nothing. So didn't have to worry about attending a baseball game and the high heat that we're supposed to have there. So definitely stay cool. Enjoy your breakfast. And good to hear from you there, Mel. All right, next on the list, I've got Daryl, V01UKZ. Good morning. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November Quebec November, all star node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. Give a shot there again. Daryl, V01UKZ from KB7GTC in a minute. Beep. Oh, my apologies, Tina. I went to click on the PTT, and my AI came up instead. So not sure exactly what caused that, but it had its icons all over the screen. So I had to get rid of those and bring down the app and go back to Echo Link. So good morning to you and everybody else on board here. I just wanted to jump in and say hello this morning. I'm glad I got the opportunity. We just finished with the cowabunga net a little while ago, and jumped right over here. So glad to hear you out here this morning. From here on the rock, this is E01UKZ. Make sure you hit that button. Beep.
