Jack, did you say you'd worked at the Old Town Cafe in Bellingham? Would that be the one at 316 West Holly Street in Bellingham? According to Google, it says hip cozy bistro offering area source breakfast served all day and lunch in rusty cool digs. You worked at that place? What were you doing up in Bellingham? When was that? Anyway. So, busy day for me. I'm not muffled today because I'm at my home QTH here with my Icom mobile radio and the Icom boost net microphone with a fuzzy on it so that I don't make any breath-pumping noises. And I wanted to mention that it's kind of a follow-up on my car. I mentioned a couple of times that the rebate is supposed to have a $4,000 rebate for used EV and the dealership had called me and said, hey, you know, we need your Social Security card. And I go, Social Security card? No one's ever asked for that in my life and I'd have to get my mother and father's birth certificate to get a replacement card. Oh my gosh. So I went in there the other day and talked to the sales guy who had been calling me. I wasn't there, but I talked to the manager and I said, hey, you know, what's with this thing needing my Social Security number? And he goes, let me check on the IRS thing here. So he checks on the IRS webpage and he says, yeah, the problem is Social Security number. We need to have your Social Security number. And I said, you could have asked that on the phone. I would have given it, you know, Social Security number. So I read out my number and apparently someone on their end, the dealership's end, had typed in one number wrong and of course it was not going through. So he corrected the number and he says, okay, it's good. Yep, all done. $4,000 rebate, which isn't for me. It's for the dealership. So I don't know why they didn't pursue this a little more. Anyway, that's taken care of. And the other thing I wanted to mention is, oh, it's a cooler day today. Yes, I like that. I've been putting off doing serious house cleaning in my work because on the hot days it just gets too hot here when it's like 75, I'm sorry, 78, 80 degrees in my apartment. It's not much fun. I'm too lazy to turn on the air conditioner, I guess. But today it's nice and cool. I can't avoid it. I've been vacuuming with my replacement Eureka Mighty Mite vacuum. Yes, I misplaced my vacuum cleaner. I don't know where. And I got the new one, a replacement in the other day, exact duplicate. And it's working great. It's second grade. And we're all having a great day here on a Friday. Enjoy. KI7, CEI. Thank you for watching.
