Hey, Joe, and this is Chris, QLW5, Lima Zulu Romeo. This is actually the third time I've actually been on a net, so I'm fairly new to all this. I just got licensed, my technician license back on July 3rd. And right now I'm talking to you through an all-star node that I built, and I'm on a little Baofeng radio traveling in a semi-truck, I'm a truck driver, pulling a set of doubles, traveling from San Antonio to Houston back to San Antonio, about a 400-mile round trip. It's currently 84 degrees Fahrenheit. And yeah, so I didn't know what the net was about, so I just jumped in. Thought I'd give it a try, see how things are going. I'll tell you a little bit about myself also. I was in a Texas country band for about 10 years. I'm a bass player, originally was a guitar player, started my music career back in middle school playing French horn. And from then just kind of learned how to play everything, so keyboards, drums, guitar, bass. I do a little singing during 2020. The COVID quarantine stuff, I put out an album on Spotify with my daughter, and just instrumental stuff. My artist name is Smidgy, S-M-I-D-G-E-Y. The album is Life 2020. It's just instrumental, just a bunch of ideas that I decided to put out of there, just because I felt like I needed to put some music out. Other than that, I've been a truck driver for about 21 years now, and just enjoy life and enjoying the ham radio art and the hobby. So with that, I'll say 73 and back to net. Kilo, Juliet 5, Limazulu, Romeo, and I'll be clear.
