Hey Robert, this is Justin kk7 QES and glad you're functioning still nice to hear you and Tammy calling the net tonight And a wave to Brian. I hope he's well too and Paul. Thank you Thank you for the rabbit hole about optical media and and the little PSA about The situation with optical drives. I am going to pass that along to my father who is Yeah, much like you it got same kind of situation and he will not be happy if he his tribes fail and he can't Consume his media the way he enjoys consuming it. Anyway, I Wanted to say I really do share and sentiment about how streaming services are not so great at compensating artists and It's it's a challenge for independent artists about eight years back I was a much more active musician and even then it was really a kind of a headcratcher For my band as to how best to Get our music into the hands of folks that came to our shows and wanted to listen to recordings and just to support us and at the time we still got CDs produced and They never sold that well we found that Folks really preferred like we'd sell a sticker for $8 or something like that. It would come with the Code for a digital download and that worked at the time. I have no idea if that still Would work for independent artists at all. But yes, it's tough and in so many ways, but anyway I don't know why I just always enjoy talking about Dying media formats. It's fascinating to me Today was super fun. My family took the girls for a bike ride on the Centennial Trail out in Snohomish That was their first time on a proper bike bike path and they did awesome. I probably overly coached on Situational awareness and navigating passing people and stuff like that, but they did great. It was really cool to see I was on rollerblades which was just about the perfect pace to Yes, sort of be the pace car for all of us. Anyway, we had a blast not too hot and we stopped for lunch at trails and There yeah, it was a really really nice day Thanks for running the night again, Robert and Tammy and I'll send it back.
