Well hey Bill, this is Justin, KK7QES. I'm doing great, thank you, and hope you're well tonight. Radio waves to Rich if he's out there somewhere. We had a really nice day today. So some back story, my wife's family hosted an exchange student from Japan named Megumi. She said five times over the course of her childhood. She came back and stayed with them. She was a student at Bellevue College. So the first time that she came to the U.S., my wife was five years old. I think the last time she'd been here was when my wife was maybe 12 or 13. So today we got to connect with her, for my wife, reconnect with her and meet her for the first time. She is visiting here with her two college-aged children. So they've been staying with my wife's parents the last few days down in Olympia and seeing the South Sound area and stuff like that. And then they came up to Kirkland today and hung out with us. And we spent the afternoon at Juanita Beach and we got fish and chips over at Spuds and just hung out and kind of walked in the park and stuff. And then came back to our place and did a little gift exchange and all that. It was a really nice time meeting them and just hanging out. So tomorrow is going to be more fun. We are renting an electric boat. I think it's called the Lake Union Electric Boat Company or something like that. We have rented boats from them several times over the years. And it's super fun and a really well-run operation. So we are taking Megumi and her kids out on an electric boat with my in-laws and my sister-in-law and her husband are joining and all that stuff. So we will be out on the water seeing the city from a different vantage point. And just kind of, I don't know, we are all looking forward to being tourists in our own city. We are going to go to the Space Needle. I haven't done that since I was in high school probably. And then we are going to go to the Chichulis Museum. Yeah, just showing them around town. They are staying at an Airbnb somewhere over in Ballard. I think they are going to experience a little bit of Ballard and stuff like that over the next few days. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Seeing my wife and her sister and her parents just kind of rekindling this connection they had with someone. It was pretty special. And then for my girls to get to meet her and her kids too. Pretty cool. That's what's going on over here. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. This is KK7QES back to Net 2.
