I gotta get somebody to eat real quick and then head over to the yard and see what the deal is with my truck. Hoping to get out of town today, get back on the road. Because when you're broke down, if you're out on the road, you get paid for that. But when you're home, you don't get paid because you're home. So I need to get back on the road and get to working. So yeah, that's the deal with my mom. So I'm going to have to talk to my brother again because he kind of scared her with all the talk of putting her in a nursing care facility and stuff like that. Because she's fully in control of her faculties. With all the stuff that she does and the life that she leads, she does not want to go back and live in Alabama. For the weather and for the situation at my brother's house, I think he's got like 15, 16 kids there at his house. Plus his mother-in-law. And every time my mom's running back to visit, it's really stressed her out. To the point, one time she had to come back early because she just couldn't handle the situation there. So happy with my trip yesterday. So that was Providence. The truck broke down and I got the opportunity to go out and talk to her. So it makes me feel better about being stuck here the extra two days. Much better. But magic, unexplained physics. Anything that's unexplained is magic until it gets explained. And like Kevin was saying, there's that kind of magic and then there's the sleight of hand magic that Penn and Teller and other musicians put out there. And I am of the Christian faith, but I think, again, there are things that are beyond our comprehension, i.e. unexplained physics. That are unexplained for us, but are noble and taken care of by Almighty. So, all right, let me go ahead and pass it back to you, Gray. Because I'm going off on tangents because I'm trying to get a lot of things done all at once. N9-O-F-U, back there. KC2-PKG. N9-O-F-U, this is KC2-PKG. Interesting answer. I think you could have stopped halfway through. When you said Providence, that was Providence. Is that different than magic? I don't know. I don't know. But, we also said that as soon as something is explained, it's not magic anymore. And I thought that was pretty wise. Jim, W-A-8-H-U-B, how was your weekend? How's your day going? And we're asking people whether they believe in some form of magic or not. This is KC2-PKG. Over to you, Jim. W-A-8-H-U-B. Good morning, Gray. This is W-A-8-H-U-B. And I live in Kettering, Ohio. And I don't believe in magic, but my tactic is music. I have radio, cell, my alps, and tunes that are tuned to one station. And that's the classical music station here in Dayton, Ohio area. Which is this year 40 years old, one year. But when I think about it, the composers in the past and even today, when they sit down, out of their minds comes this beautiful thing we call music. And to me that is magic. The fact that they can sit down and their mind works in such a way that they can produce this kind of... I'll call it magic and music. So anyway, that's my goal of it. Have to deliver some books, some crisps or containers to our clubhouse, current clubhouse, which we have to leave. And we're packing up all the radios and everything, so I'm donating or floating off some containers. And that's it for me today. I think maybe I checked in once before. I'm usually not on the internet this early, but hey, I had a good night's sleep, I woke up and I said, let's get moving. So here I am, just about finished with my breakfast too. And that is the song, magic is time of the morning. So that's it for me. Uh, P-C-Q-P-K-G-W-A-A-A-T-U-B. W-A-H-U-B. Uh, James, you want to stick around and we'll call on you again? P-C-Q-P-K-G. I'll stick around for a while. Yeah, I'll listen. I may have to run around the house a little bit, but I'll listen. And I'll probably, I'll certainly switch over to the visiting conference at 10. And I'm going to do a quick check in there today. I can, it's part of my routine anyway. Thank you, y'all. Stick around. Take care. W-A-H-U-B is back to the... W-A-H-H-U-B. And we'll be glad to have you. This is KC2PKG and now we're going to move on to the next question. Alright, so, um, the Cowabunga Net, the way I envision it, is a place where you can talk about anything you want. You have an opinion about this or an opinion about that. You know, you can express it here. And we will listen to you. We will receive whatever you want to send. And we don't have any limits on that. This got tested for me on the Saturday at Kevin's Net. When one of our trusty hams here sent some deeply offensive stuff, and I was like, wow. Wow. And I sat there. I thought about it all through Saturday. But by the way, that dinner party went off beautifully. I think we have 16 friends. Um, but I kept thinking about it, going, you know, do I have any right to call that guy up and say, hey dude, don't do that anymore. Um, and I'm very interested in what you guys think. Are there limits to things that we can say on the Cowabunga Net? I mean, we get to set our own limits. We talk about all sorts of things that you're not supposed to talk about in hand radio, but we do it anyway and we do it successfully. But are there limits to the things that you just shouldn't do or say on the Net? And with that, we will go to Gerald, who probably will have a lot to say about this. V01 UKZ, this is TC2 PKG. What shouldn't you say on the Net? And the second question, Graham, still looking. Stop talking, man. Are there things you should not say on the Cowabunga Net? That's the simplicity of the question there. We're not allowed to talk about anything, but are there things that we shouldn't say? This is TC2 PKG. Over to you. V01 UKZ. There absolutely is. Anything derogatory, directed at one of your fellow hams. We all tolerate that crap. Calling out someone for their sexuality, race, colour or creed will not tolerate that crap. Excessive swearing. That has to be nipped in the bud. I mean, I understand there are some words that are kind of grey area, like shit. That's not a terrible one. F words and C words and stuff like that, they're not fit. But, yeah, there are definitely some things you shouldn't say. Now, if some of the bleeding hearts had their way, all we would talk about is the weather and our ailments. And that's where this Net differentiates itself from the... Hang on, Graham. Just hang on one sec.
