Good morning, Jack. Good morning, everyone. Good morning, Chase and Dana, if you're listening. Not much is going on yet. I ate breakfast. But I... it's been a while. I have been traveling. And I feel bad because, like, I don't feel comfortable announcing that I'm going to be, like, gone for a long time on ham radio. Like, I don't know, just... it's one of those... I think I have maybe, like, a higher privacy bar than some people. So now it's not on the air. It's not great. But then... and then I'm just gone. And so I've been gone for, like, maybe a month, maybe five weeks. Visiting family in California, taking advantage of being able to work remotely, and... And, yeah, just spending time with my folks and my nieces and nephews and Jesse's folks. And it was really great. I went with the intention of, like, all right, I got Droidstar set up and, like, I really want to check in on the nets on the weekends. And, you know what, like, the nieces and nephews, like, always had some activity they wanted to do or whatnot at nine in the morning. And so I ended up just doing all sorts of crazy family stuff. It was pretty fantastic. I guess one thing I have been doing this morning was actually looking at finding a spare tire for my car because on this trip I ended up getting a... Some sidewall puncture that was, like, big enough to stick my thumb into on a country road and my car did not come with a spare tire. And the fix-a-flat that it comes with that they're like, yeah, you just put this in and pump it up, can't repair a hole that size. So I ended up waiting for, like, four hours for a tow truck to come down this country road and pick me up to get a new tire. So, yeah, I'd like to avoid that sometimes because I'd like to go down country roads in the future. But, yeah, we'll see what I come up with. Anyways, I am so glad to be back in Pacific Northwest. The cooler weather is fantastic and I am happy to say hi to everyone. Hope you all have a great Saturday. Get your T.P. back in the car. All-star Node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. All right, Matt. Hey, great to have you back in town. Say hi to Jesse and I'm glad you had such a good time with the family. Boy, you know, you can't really get tired... Well, I guess you get a bigger tire, a beefier tire, right? You know, and so forth, you know, extended trips, extended mileage, that kind of thing. But that is really wild. What do you think it was that went through the sidewall of your tire?
