Okay, Brad, that is a good topic and it's something that I used to be involved with quite a bit years ago, but I've been full-time RVer now, ever since 2012. And it's kind of hard to get involved with the emergency communications. Operations are all pretty much local. And since I'm never local, it's kind of hard for me to be involved with them. Used to do a lot of not only just the emergency communications, and that's kind of stuff to stay up to speed with that. But we used to do a lot of public service along with it, a lot of public service events. Where you exercise a lot of the same talents, you need to be able to work with others in an orderly fashion and keep the radio well-structured. And that was good training as well. Not purely emergency communications, but it follows a lot of the same protocols. So it was helpful for people as well. All right, let me get on to my rag-chew here. I had a list of topics on here. The first one I'll talk about is my laptop. I bought a new laptop two years ago. I paid a pretty penny for it. Within six months, the keycaps had worn off where you couldn't see the letters. And yeah, I got most of them memorized, but every now and then you just need to find that letter on a keyboard. And that's a really royal painting. And one six months later, some of them started cracking and actually falling apart. And this is an expensive laptop. It's an HP laptop. It's ridiculous the quality that they make these things anymore. And it's had a number of other bugs as well, but I kind of blame most of them on Windows, not so much on the laptop itself. But anyway, it finally given up the ghost more or less. It still works. But it's just too much trouble to use. So I've got it folded up and running. And I have added other mouse keyboard and mouse. And I never liked the laptop. Never used the pad on the computer. Anyway, the mouse pad or the finger pad or keypad, whatever you call it. I never could get used to those. But anyway, I've got the external monitor and external keyboard now. So the laptop's sitting over there burning away and doing a good job of it. And I've got a bigger screen and a good keyboard. It's not quite as what I'd like, but it's just what I'm not used to. It's all that's wrong with the keyboard. It's a Logitech keyboard. It's a pretty good keyboard. That's my first one. So let's go on down to George, A, B, 2, I, H, and see what you want to talk about from K4HM.
