Thank you, KF7OK. Doug near Linwood. I just got off grid a couple of hours ago. I just came back after a weekend and chopped a lot of wood, loaded my truck, came back. It's all dirty looking. It's funny because people come up to me and say, I really like your truck. What year is it? And they go, oh, OK. Well, it's 30 years old. 31 years old. Bought it new. But they look at it and say, wow, it needs a wash. Yeah. Anyway, that was kind of cool. Anyway, I've known this for a while. But cutting wood and then having to pick up the pieces and go uphill with it is the best aerobic workout that I know of. And I'm a gym rat. You go crazy trying to get the most ultimate workout. And then I've been doing that. And so I got a load of wood home. And I think I'm going to have one more for the year. I'm going to do one more for the year. I try to get about six or seven or so and one more for the year. And I think I'll be done and stuff. And I did some other odd ins around there. And I was on the radio a little bit while I was out there. But what I was finding is it was kind of dark. And I wasn't getting the solar charge from the sun like I normally do. And so I'm thinking I'm going to have to replace the batteries. Normally the batteries, when they're newer, can tolerate several days of no solar and my operating on the radio. But that wasn't the case this time. I could kind of tell that it was struggling. So I kind of kept in my check-in short and kind of turned the power down if I was able to do that. And then if I wasn't, if I was just listening all day like I normally do and have it loud for my whole property so I can hear, I can hear everybody. I just turn everything loud. I didn't do that this time because I just didn't have the power to do it. So anyway, I'll fix that too eventually. So KF7OK, back to you.
