Two years back we got this beautiful, it said like eight or nine seats in a duck town sectional. And it was really quite nice except for one thing, it took up just all of our living room to the point that it's just that narrow walkways to get in and out. And it kind of blocked off, you know, it's open, but that kind of closed off. And so we decided to get rid of half of it and I set about creating a plan to extract it out of there and then move another piece to where the one that we were moving was going to be gone. And it was just very heavy, so I brought, took out the old reciprocal saw and cut that sucker down into eight individual liftable pieces and that was quite fulfilling. So anyway, that's all loaded in my trailer and it's going to make it run to the dump tomorrow probably. Let me pause. And on Friday we've been waiting for it. We had gotten a 3D printer that's called an Ender 3 Pro that's kind of just a basic one and that got us totally addicted into it. And then we got another model called an Anycubic Cobra S1 and that kind of failed within the first day or so and it was a panda clone. Panda is like the Cadillac of them all. And we set that back and on Friday received delivery of our new Panda Labs P1S. And it's just a phenomenal printer. It's twelve times faster than the old one that we had. And we're just having so much fun with it. I've got probably 200 hours worth of printing to do just to make some cool accessories for the P1S. And so we're having a riot doing all those things and picking them out and then building them and that's consuming my time. So that's all I've got. It's Magoo, Kilo Kilo 7s and the Bubba Juliet. Back to Ned. I was just trying to picture you hacking the sectional into eight pieces like they're methodically loading it up. Yeah, good on you. Sounds like a lot of work there but probably satisfying there. And yeah, congrats on that new 3D printer. It sounds like you did get the Cadillac of sorts. So like the other one crapped out on you very quickly there. So have fun with all that 3D printing. Definitely want to see some of the stuff that you're making there. So very cool. Thanks for the check in. We'll catch you down a lot. Alright, three more on this round. I am Brian, KE7KZH. This is the 9 o'clock net on the PSRG repeater in Seattle, Washington. Dean, you're going to be up next. KG7ODB. How are you tonight, Dean? Please give us a report. Good evening Brian and everybody on the net. This is Dean, KG7ODB. Doing well tonight. It was a nice day today. Went over to the Rain or Shine at, or I should say the Ice Cream Social at Green Lake. And I saw a lot of people there. As usual, I don't want to mention everybody's name because I know I'll forget somebody. But I did want to mention John KG7WOI was there. And that was a great thing because there were a number of people. Cami had never met him before. So that was really exciting. But also, so if you ever check into the Saturday morning net, there's always this ongoing thing where John always checks in late in the net, like right around 10-10. And sometimes it's like clockwork. And so the interesting thing is apparently, Theresa and Dana met John today for the very first time. Even though he's been this integral part of their net for years. So anyway, it's always good to see him. And also of course all the other people. One person who wasn't there was Sean, who checked in earlier. KJ70XM. And the problem was, so I stopped off and bought donuts for everybody. Well, the PSRT paid for them. But I always get extra maple bars because that's kind of the humorous mnemonic that came out of Sean's call sign. So there were all these extra maple bars. But I think they were well consumed. So they didn't go to waste. But anyway, I don't really have too much more to add. But yeah, maybe I'll see you at the next one. The next one, really, the antique radio show is almost a rain or shine. So it's like Cammie and Robert are doing their net. And I think Jack's going to be there. So you got the, I don't know, the pieces. So anyway, KJ70DB, back to that. Oh, we should put that on the announcement there that the next, that rain or shine over at Shoreline Community College, August 17th, Sunday. Actually, I already know I will not be able to be there. I have a gig up on one of the islands this weekend. And it's going to be an overnighter. There's no way I'll make the ferry back in time for that. But that does sound like a good time there. So hey, glad to be able to meet John, KJ70WOI. I met him over a decade ago. I know that. But I'm not sure if I've seen him since. So anyway, glad KJ70WOI was there. And it sounds like it was a fun time at the rain or shine ice cream social event there. So very cool. And we'll see each other soon there, Dean. But hey, thanks for the check in. And you have a good night there. All right. Two more on this round. Next up, Michael up in Yukon. So I got to ask, you know, when it's cold all the time, do you eat as much ice cream as the rest of us? How goes that? Michael, Victor Yankee One, Mike Golf Sierra, how are you? Please give us a report.
