and talk about hurricanes, because I get worried about my family in Maryland. So, that's scary. Alright Woody, well you have a wonderful day. Now let's go talk to Jim, W-A-8-H-U-B. Good morning. Good morning Missy, KC7FMW. This is W-A-8-H-U-B. I have an explanation for why the W-8-D-T-N repeater doesn't show up anymore. One of our members of the club, I belong to the club that owns the repeater, went out to the site and there is no internet there, zero. So anything that depended on internet is not there at all, which means that, I mean it isn't there at all. So anything that depended on internet, like an I-R-O-P into the Michigan complex, can happen. And that's, there's no good, there's no explanation why this happened, but it's, anything inside the tower that used internet, and we have, there are several repeaters up there, they no longer have internet available at all. So that's pretty much it. Thank you. And Larry, that's what happened. John went out and looked it over, and he sent out a message, and that's the deal. Oh, K-C-F-N, K-C-7-F-M-W-W-8-A-T-U-B. I hope they fix it for you guys, because let me tell you what, I miss our I-R-L-P, we have I-R-L-P here, but we had a repeater that broadcasted this net for years, and I missed that repeater so bad, because I'd love to broadcast the net on my radio, oh man, that would be the best thing ever, because that could ever happen. So I wish it could, because I'd love being able to do that. So anyway, alright, well you have a good day Jim, and we'll talk at you later. Now let's go talk to Quinn, K-6-T-K-R. Good morning to you. Good morning Missy, everybody else on the net, I hope everything's going well there for you. You've got a lot of cheering in your voice this morning, which is great. I've got this gun on, so I missed the rabbit or the buddy story from Joe, so it must have been a good one. But anyway, yesterday out at the hangar, the fuselage has a fairly big curve in it as it comes up toward the engine, and so we had to soak and bend some of the parts to make that happen. And so hopefully by Saturday when all the students show up, all the curvatures will be in and they can put in all the support struts and brackets and things like that, and it's going to start to look like an airplane. So really excited about that. And I also pulled the rings on the pistons of this 100-year-old engine, and it's going to make putting the cylinders back on again. And perhaps even down the line we might kind of get an electric motor that will rotate the propeller at a slow speed for people to see how that all works. But not sure about that yet, but kind of preparing for it. And of course the rings will be archived and stored away so that they will never be separated from that engine. So anyway, it was a great day. Looks like I've got a pretty quiet one today, so I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do, but it's going to be fun no matter what. So with that, Glennon Irvine, K6TKR, back to net. Glenn, you know, I find it fascinating all that you do with airplanes and your students and stuff. I think that's so cool that you do all of that. And so I think that's awesome. I miss flying. I mean, I never flew, obviously, but being able to get in an airplane and fly somewhere, and I was supposed to do it on the third of September, and not going to. So before I turn the net to Kerry, because I am going to give Kerry that it's his turn in a minute, but I'm going to have Joe... Oh, oh, um... Hold on. Looks like you guys...
