Well, good morning and good afternoon everybody. WW7KN out here in beautiful Newport, Washington. You know the last couple of days have been pretty nice. You know not in the 90s. We had I think 87 yesterday, maybe 85 today. Still a little warm. I'm still out there trying to get stuff done in the morning. We climbed my tower yesterday and took down one of my antennas and got that new GP9 up and it's added quite a bit of gain to my transmission. So when I'm doing my Sunday night net that I do every Sunday for the Northwest traffic net, maybe I'll have a little bit better reception and everyone says the sound is great. So hey, that project is off the list. We'll have to take down the antenna tower and all to put up the new antenna but I still need some mounting plates made and I can see that being a few weeks or maybe the next year. You never know. But Pam and I went out this morning and we ventured around the neighborhood here and the side by side and stopped by an up and coming garage sale. They just were putting items out. They're going to have it tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday. Of course we picked up a few items, you know, lamps, a table, a couple of things for the house. You know, I never dragged Pam with me. But yeah, we got the items home and kind of sent them around the house and then we're getting ready to take the pets to the vet today for their annual shots and checkup. So I'm sure they're going to be happy with that. So with that Jack, no, another beautiful Thursday out here in Newport. And yeah, back to you. W7KN, Ken Newport. Back to you, Jack.
