All right, Darryl, so I have a question. Now, you said you don't watch the news. However, I know that Environment Canada probably sends out bulletins and weather, regular weather reports all the time. They probably have a number of different ways that they do it. Probably send out text as well. Can you fill us in on that? How are you going to change how you're listening to the media or, you know, internet services for information like that for emergency situations? And how are you situated for alternative energy if you lose power? Back to you, PO1 UKZ. Well, Jack, we've got a couple of generators here, gasoline generators. And last night, we went down to the gas station and filled up three 20-gallon gas tanks, you know, like jerrycans, the big red ones. We filled those up, made sure the generators were all topped up. We've got two big ones and a small one. So that should be enough to get us through with freezers and things like that to get those powered. We won't need to, fortunately, because, you know, it's close to 30 degrees Celsius here for the last week or so. That's about 75, 80 degrees, 85 degrees maybe. So, you know, we'll be okay without heat. But, yeah, that's about it, man. We're good to go with generators, but that's about it. You know, that'll keep us good for maybe a week, possibly a week and a half. Because if the whole city goes dark, there'll be no pump and gas, there'll be none of that. Everything will be shut down completely. You know, gas stations require electricity as well. So if they're not able to pump out additional gas... The last time we had a big blackout was in the winter. The power is completely gone for the whole city for five days. And it was in the death of winter. And what they would do was the city would bring a generator to a gas station or two so they could get powered up so they could pump gas. And there'd be, you know, lines a mile long or two miles long for each of those gas stations. But they did try that the last time there was a blackout. So the fact that it's summertime, you know, makes electricity loss a little less detrimental. But we'll see how it goes. Back over to you, P-O-1 to you, Casey. Alright, Darrell, will you be careful there? You start monitoring Environment Canada reports. You want to know when something's going to happen. And you might have to get out so that you take care and do keep us in touch with what the current conditions are. And over there in Alaska, in Juneau, they're having to evacuate as well because there's a flood alert from the Mendenhall Glacier. So, boy, oh, boy, just crazy situations all over the place. Alright, well anyway, you take care, Darrell. And like I say, keep in touch with us as best you can, okay? Alright, we have an I-O from Paul there, KAJ7 BNF. Nice to hear from him. And let's see, time is 12, 20, 20 minutes past how they are. Let's go figure out where Rich is, WBE7J. I think he's headed toward Mexico. He might already be there. Rich, what say you? Go ahead. Hey, Jack, WBE7J here. You are so close. You're within hours of being right. I'm actually on a flight, you know, leaving SeaTac around 5 a.m. So I'll be up around 2 a.m. heading to SeaTac. And, yep, headed to Mexico. I mean, at the moment, I'm in Tuyallup. Jack, I'm kind of jazzed. I've got a trip coming up to France. I just booked a round-trip ticket to France. France wasn't really on my list. South America was kind of on my list. But I met a lady who was a dual French citizen, U.S. citizen. And she talked me into going with her. So I'll be doing that. And Christine, she's in San Miguel as well. Leaving the CAT here for next month and a half while I go to Mexico and then go to France. I'll come back and pick her up. In the meantime, playing Tetris with my suitcase. Jack, thanks so much for the great job that you do. WP7J.
