So back in June, I was out in my shack that I'm still working on. Got a laptop set up up there. I don't have any antennas up yet, so no radio hooked up yet. But I do have solar up, do have my battery ready. I'm getting close. But I was sitting out in my shack looking something up on the internet, and all of a sudden I looked over and there's this big fat pregnant mama raccoon standing in the door of the shack just looking at me. And I'm like, hello, what do you want? And I just happened to have some peanuts with me. So I gave her a couple peanuts, and she was very grateful and she toddled off. And then the next night I happened to be in the backyard about the same time just before sunset, and she came back. I gave her more peanuts. Well, that started a tradition. Every night just before, just after sunset, she came by for some peanuts. Then in July she quit coming for a couple weeks, came back, she wasn't pregnant anymore. Sorry about that. Let her drop on accident. So I gave her some more peanuts a couple times, but she didn't come as frequently because clearly she had a litter to take care of. And then when I got back from Texas, I sat out there a few nights every night about that time, and she wasn't coming back. And I thought, oh, she just figured I wasn't reliable anymore and she's not going to come back. And then a couple nights ago, I looked over and there was this big raccoon butt bumbling away from me. And behind her were three other little raccoon butts bumbling away from me. And I couldn't get my phone fast enough, but fortunately my security cam caught it, and I got footage of them over on the side of the house. So that was fun. I got to see her and her babies, and it was very exciting for me. I love critters. Anyway, that's all I got. I went on way too long. I'll talk to you guys later. KG7, QQL. Comment. All right, hold on there. Comment. I think that was Michael. All right, well, Beach, thank you very much for the baby story and the mama raccoon. That is cute. Yeah, maybe get a picture of the little babies going for a peanut once they're ready for those. All right, you take care. Great to hear you, and nice to have you back. And, boy, your dad, he is a real trooper, 93. That's fantastic. Well, they make him tough in Texas. Hey, who was the comment? Name and call, please. Jack, Whiskey, Alpha 7, Alpha Delta, you know my voice. It's quick. I just walked out while Grossie was talking in and out. It's warm. It's Chinook out there. The wind is so warm, it's a Chinook coming in. That's why it's going to be so warm today. So I'll be turning off the radio now and quit bothering you. But I had to tell you that it is the wind. I just walked outside. Wow. Back to you, sir. Whiskey, Alpha 7, Alpha Delta.
