Good evening. I assume I'm going to drop here in a second. My intermittent antenna connection, I'm on the 50-volt setting. And it was coming in with low noise, so I'll drop and see if I'm okay there. Okay, that's good. So let's see. I picked up a, I think it's a Pi4B Jeff at K9LKU. I have lunch with him a lot. And Kip Anderson, the photographer who did 20% of the Rainier Bear movie shoots. So I have plenty to talk to there with another ham. And a cinematographer at the table for lunch where I've worked in broadcasting. So there's plenty of lights and crew and grip and stage and theater and talent and all kinds of interesting war stories to trade. Oh, Kip Anderson survived a helicopter crash. Nobody survives helicopter crashes. Ask a Coast Guard person. A Coastie will tell you how many bodies they've picked up and how many survivors of helicopter crashes they've saved. There aren't very many. So yeah, there's some good stories there. We trade stories of broadcasting and cinematography. And the Rainier Bear movie is going to play Thursday at the Blue Mouse. I saw it last week at the Edmonds Theater. And then two days later, because they had a trailer for the Phoenician's Game, I saw that, a classic Wes Anderson film. Love that. And Blue Mouse in Tacoma for Thursday is sold out for the Rainier Bear movie. It plays next weekend at the Rose in Port Townsend for three days during Labor Day weekend. So much for the ferry trip to do that. And it might play, it's playing at Friday Harbor in October sometimes. So maybe I'll see it there again if I see it again. But I'll go to Tacoma to pick up the poster I ordered rather than ship it for six bucks up here and talk to them. Maybe they got Blu-rays of that movie. It's worth it. It is a supreme movie about local stuff. And all the locations are in the scenes for like the frog shoot. They've got the lat-long of any shot for where the location shot they have the lat-long reading. So you can go visit and see what it looks like today after 50 years later of shooting these commercials. Anyways, enough of that. The Rainier Bear movie is good and so is Phoenician's Game. And we'll see what else I see. Movies are cheap these days if they want us. KJ7VEU, thanks.
