I like the idea of teaching the proper etiquette. We taught our kids manners. We had four kids and we were real big on that. They go in the grocery store and get a free cookie and they ask for it. And when they ask me, can I please have a cookie, I'm like, okay, I'll have a cookie. And when they hand them the cookie, they have to say, thank you very much. Thank you. We just taught them those simple things to do better in life. And they taught their kids the same way, which is kind of cool. Yeah, I had a collision with an oil pump that failed. And probably not a good way to put it, but I had to get it. And probably not a good way to put it. But the oil pump had, my oil light came on in my car. And I said, okay, well, when I get home, I'll check it out. Well, I was quite a ways from home and basically my engine blew. And then my buddy told me home and got the engine rebuilt. So actually in a way it was better. It was a Slant Six. So a nice simple engine to work on. Let's see here. Oh yeah, today we have the great outdoor net on the Papa System. And what they had done last week is they had some, I don't know, about ten Papa members go out to the island off the coast of Los Angeles called Santa Cruz Island. There's some other islands there too. And so every night they would have a net from the island and talk about what they did and what went on there and everything. It was pretty cool actually. And I was handling the comms for them and I enjoyed doing that quite a bit because that way they had something happen. They had somebody always listening that could just jump on it. A simple phone call is no problem. Things get deeper. You need somebody to kind of run with it. So anyway, it worked out really, really well. Nothing bad happened. And everybody had a great time. But I think that maybe, I was talking to somebody else about this. It might have been Jack about maybe the PSRG had a camp out, a big camp out. And then they could do an evening net from there. And I think that would be really cool. You know, to do something like that because the range of the repeater is pretty darn big. And you could probably easily find a campground that would range out the repeater and then have a group camping, big making big nails, you know all that usual stuff. And I think especially the PSRG, I could see you guys doing that very easily. So anyway, the weather here today was 90 degrees. Yep, 90 degrees. I have my air conditioning going today. I'm very happy that I have that. It works great in this small apartment. So with that, I'll turn it back to the net to keep up the good work there, AB6MB.
