Okay, this is N0BF November 0, bravo, Foxtrot. And let's see, boy, a lot of stuff to talk about here. Well, I did, I guess I'll report in, I did my Morse code fix, which I'm really glad I'm able to get that, using my portable POTUS station, 10 watts, and I did work all over the United States, Texas and coast to coast, Virginia and Oregon. Anyway, my Morse code is completely satisfied today. I didn't do any single side dad, but I am talking here. So, but I do have a little set up for a portable operation that works great in the house here, until we move. The last cell is going to move, good luck on that. We're moving from Colorado to Ohio. Anyway, so, kind of going through that myself. Let's see what else to say. We're going to go play some music today over at the memory care place, assisted living, and hopefully have a good time doing that. So, anyway, back over to you there, Kevin. Please keep me on the list. I'll see if I can learn something. I did finish up breakfast number one and number two, and I'll wait for my wife to get done doing her chores, and then we'll have breakfast number three, I think, today. This is N0BF, back in that. Yeah, I'll certainly do that. I'll certainly do that. No problem, Steve. You're in the building. And Bentley's next in a second. So, yeah, a lot of times, too, I've been sold, like, at the Metro Mart. It's kind of like a ghetto sort of convenience store that's close to here. And so, I think there was that one time they sold me this big thing of oatmeal and told me it was cereal. They were trying to buy cereal. So, I thought that was funny. I mean, that worked, but it wasn't what I asked for. And then, I don't know, typically I don't really buy cereal either, so it really depends. You know why? It's a waste of milk. You use a lot of milk when you eat cereal. Whereas, I could buy, like, we buy bags of milk in Canada, right? Bags of milk would be about five or six of those cartons of milk that you can also get, too. And they just last so long when you're not wasting it on that junk. All right, so thanks, and the next station is Bentley. Over to you. VE3FBX. Good morning, everybody. Best of luck with the two fellas who are moving. I just moved last year into my little place here. Moving sucks. No other way to describe it. In Canada, so not in Canada, we buy milk in bags. It's an Ontario thing. I've lived almost coast to coast, and the only place I've found milk in bags is here in Ontario. Today is going to be a quiet one. I'm working on a case for my sherry to get it into the rack, so I can keep it up a little more, and then I can be able to wander around in the yard and in the house with the handheld and stay on Echo Link. That'll be nice. Other than that, just sipping on coffee number one and smoke number three. Going to be a decent day up here in the north, I hope. It looks like it. They're talking in the 20s, so not too terribly hot. It should be just a nice fall morning. 73. Back to you for now, Kevin. Well, I'll be in B.C. before the weekend of Thanksgiving, which is America's Columbus Day. They have their Columbus Day on the weekend of our Thanksgiving, and I plan to go a few days before them. I'll tell you if they come in bags there. I thought they did. I thought a lot of things they have in Ontario, they have in B.C. too. They just don't call it the same thing like there. The stupid LCBO is some kind of like B.C. wine. It's a different name. And then the TGC is called something else there. So there are certain things like that that don't match. But one thing that does match is the unclosed officers that get on the bus and they tell you they're there to make sure that you have proof of pay. And they'll run you in if you don't. But the way they get in the bus is the way you would get in if you're hopping. So you'd see a couple of guys sneaking onto the back, obviously waiting their turn to go out of their way to go into the back of the bus. And then you're thinking, okay, is somebody hopping? It isn't. It's somebody that's waiting to catch somebody that's hopping. And they figure anyone that's sitting in those seats, the closest seats, they check those people right away because they're the ones... That's what you would do if you hopped on. You wouldn't just hop on and then run right to the front where the driver is at. You'd hop on. It depends where you hop on. If it's in that big, long middle, then you try to get the seats there. Or if you hop on to the very, very back, you try to get the little long seat in the very back. And so those people are checked the most. And then of course, the funniest thing, being blind, being handicapped, there are also places you get chucked to. Like I could be in the front, pay for my fare, and then the driver will say, well hey, take those seats in the back. It'll be convenient for you. Yeah, convenient for me being one of the first people your stupid officers check. Because I don't know if you know this, and I don't tell the driver that. I think they should know. I'm thinking in my head, I don't know if you know this, but you got these hall monitors that get on as riders. They gotta know, right? I'm sure they know. Vancouver has a lot of that too. But way more. It's way more intense. Just multiply how you're treated in Toronto times a million. And that's pretty much Vancouver. A lot of times they make fun of us, right? Like they'll say, you guys are bringing in all your trash here. You know that, right? Kinda, kinda sorry. But if you want to keep any money, you avoid all those places, right? Like I don't imagine a young student is motivated to live in any of those places, right? Like we go through them because we have to. But I don't imagine a 15 year old is dreaming to go to Vancouver, or in Vancouver, dreaming to go to Toronto, right? In fact, everyone in Vancouver is migrating, right? Like a lot of them are going to Alberta and other places. So it's just, it's just overcrowdedness. It's everywhere. So just picture, if any complaint that you have about Toronto, no parking, the buses, it's 10 times worse in Vancouver. So there you go. Alright, we will get back to Benny. Looks like he's in the building. Next station I have, I got two more in here. Next station I have is Josh. Over to you, Josh.
