Yeah, good morning Ron, happy Friday and happy Friday to the Net. We're in Kent and there's no clouds out here at all. It's sunny, comfortable temperature here. I'm at a place right now where they just go ahead and unloading me and then I'm going to go two or three warehouses over. So this is kind of like warehouse land. Everywhere you go there's a lot of warehouses here. And there's probably room to build more. So anyway, glad it's Friday. We had a really busy week. A couple of times I was going to check in and had too much going on so I just kind of listened. And let's see, what else? Oh, you mentioned your All Star node. Yeah, I actually threw one together using an AIOC connector and a Raspberry Pi Zero and two Boofangs and it actually worked. So the only problem is if you listen on the Net, that Boofang, one of them gets heated up real fast with the transmit, even on low power. So it was kind of a new project to throw it together so we can say we own an All Star link. Next thing I'm going to try is I'm going to take that Zero or another one, a Raspberry Pi Zero, and I'm going to see if I can build an APRS node with it and try that just for a fun little project. I have an APRS radio that has GPS built in and everything like that. It's all self-contained. But it's kind of neat to see if I can just throw one together with really cheap parts. It's kind of my fun hobby thing to do. Anyway, that's about it. We're glad it's Friday. Good to hear you're on as always. Hope everything's going good down there. And everyone have a good afternoon. Greetings from sunny Kent, KB8, BNY. Sunny Kent is mostly sunny Seattle. Today's going to be a good day going up to about 74. Looks like a perfect... You know in September? Don't they say in September we have one last blast of summer? Usually you have two weeks of clouds and then all of a sudden you have a second summer where it kicks in for a little bit for a few days and you think summer's kind of bad but it's really not. Anyway, thanks Mike for that. I'm Ron and R7O. This is 9 o'clock. Let's do an internet round. Internet only. I'm going to clear my throat. Hang on.
