Okay, Robert, good to hear you tonight. Your audio fills the room. You've got terrific audio tonight. It sounds very good. Very rich tone to it. Anyway, I'm glad to have you with us. And yeah, you've got as many hand fests there as I go to. I used to go to a lot of hand fests from 2001 through 2008. Yeah, 2001 through 2008. I carried the Raleigh hand fest. And while I was doing that, I went to every hand fest that we did drive and do three-hour drive. And I went to Dayton every year, which was a much longer drive. Went up to, what's it, New Jersey, I think it was, one year. One of our club members was involved, well, actually, his brother was involved with a big hand fest up there. So I put some miles on, that was before we started RVing. But since we started RVing, we, if we're near a hand fest, I sometimes only go to it. But it's like I said, Sweden's not particularly interested, so we don't do a lot of that anymore. The ones that I've gone to in the past, where we have, we'll have friends in North Carolina, that there's a couple of hand fests that we'd still like to go to if we're in town. It seems like anymore now we're never in town. So that's just the way it is. Really good to have you with us tonight. And that's the bottom of the list. I don't see anybody else on here. So is there anybody else out there that wants to check in before we head up to the lightning round? Please call K4HM. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November Quebec November. All star node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. All right, somebody commented, it looks like there's going to be a short next night. I guess it is. I will say I'm not particularly discouraged about that. I have come down with COVID for the first time. Never had it before. And it's a very mild case right now, but it's uncomfortable. So at least I'm not coughing now. I was coughing something terribly yesterday, and my wife has been really big about coughing. We cast it around all the workers here, all the staff here. That last week or so, or a couple weeks, I guess, have cast it around. And I was the last one on the totem pole, so I got it yesterday and didn't cast it. I was coming down with something. Anyway, right now it's not bad, but I know it's there. I got a little runny nose, chills, muscle aches and pains, and just all that kind of stuff. So I don't have anything else to add to the conversation. I don't get to go to the Dayton AmfST Mortar Physics before we get up here. There is another big event that we do go to, though, I want to mention. It used to be for diesel pushers only. Now they have opened it up to all motorized RVs. So we now are expanding that event, and I've been on the staff for it for a number of years now. But it's a big event about learning about your equipment in your motor home and how to maintain it, how to check it out, how to determine what's wrong when something doesn't work right. If there's service people there that will do swell, I say some will do work at cost. Some will charge wholesale for the parts. Some charge retail price for the parts. I think they all, those kind of service people, I don't think they have to get included by service charge per se. There's also some product guys there that do charge for it's where they work, but they're very reasonable priced or they're getting a lot of business in one place. So they lower their prices. There's over 100 seminars going on, easily over 100, probably several hundred seminars that go on, they go on about six wide, sometimes wider than that. And you have to pick and choose which ones you're going to go to. A lot of them repeat, so you could get there two at the same time. You want to go to both of them, you go to one at one time and the other one another time. So it's a big event, and we go to that every year. So all right, let's head back over to George, ADTIH from K4HM.
