Well, you know, enjoy the chat. Yeah, water heater, well it helps to have your own little personal army full of assistants, all of my friends, plumbers. That's good. It's not really, you know, it really helps to know the Teflon tape trick for your plumbing, your pipe joining. That's pretty much the only thing. I mean, I paid $630 to have a hose bib replaced by, you know, one of the places that, well it was easy to get an appointment pretty quick. That was the first clue they were going to be expensive. But they did give me a choice of which valve to put on it and I took the one that was slower to, you know, more turns because I got 130 pounds of water down here. It's 170 foot and I'm in the service area for 200 to 400 feet. So I have higher than normal pressure down here below that 200 feet. I'm up here at 185 feet at my garage. It's a little higher than that but I don't have water here. They started to plumb and drain up here in case they wanted to put a bathroom or shower in. But as I was pulling some, you know, all the dead end alleys up here in Magnolia, there's fruit trees hanging out with stuff falling off of them, pears. I have a whole bunch of pears. Actually the oranges I got are Costco. But yeah, there's all kinds of fruit just going to waste. You just drive up these one way alleys and they have, typically they won't even have, they'd be too narrow for some of the garbage trucks even to do. And I'm sure there's all kinds of crepe and figs and plums and times of the year. And Seattle's full of those actually. Just where all the hills are and the big trees they don't want to actually take down as they left. Plus some of these sites, these yards are just vertical. Some of them with great, you know, piles of fruit, just fruit all over the place. This is a great town for agriculture and food, growing stuff. And everything will grow here pretty much very easily. That's my favorite check-in kind of stuff is just discussing Seattle. Have a good night everybody. KJ7VEU. KJ7VEU Mike, K7WFD. Uh, what, 630 for a hosted. Wow. You got stuck on that one. There is about it. But yeah, Magnolia, I live over next door to you on Queen Anne. And there's some funny areas, these older neighborhoods. I guess people planted a lot more fruit trees maybe early in the 20th century. So I know a few blocks down the hill from here down toward the Ship Canal is a, is about three or four really nice apple trees right in the, what do you call it, the parking strip, you know, right next to the street. And actually just had some pear, friend brought over some pears from her tree in Magnolia. So yeah, it's a good time of year. Lots to harvest. Lovely. Well, you're listening to the 9 p.m. PSRG social net. My name is Bill, K7WFD. And this is the traditional moment to talk about the announcements for the next week. And let me just scan down through them. Next thing coming up is next Saturday, the Lake Washington Hand Club is going to hold their last rain or shine for the season. That's 9 a.m. to noon at the Wilmott Gateway Park in Woodinville. So if you hop over to over when you look at their website, you can look at our website under, I'm sorry, not a website, it's on our website. It's also on our Facebook discussion page. In the featured section, you can see all of these announcements. Also next Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the usual meeting, the open house rather, of the Radio Club of Tacoma. And of course, next Saturday, the usual SimplexNet on 146.56 starts at 8 p.m. Test your equipment, test your antennas. What else do we have here? Let's see. Oh, of course, the Kitsap County Amateur Radio Club Annual Hand Fest is going to take place on Saturday, October 11, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. And the next PSRG board meeting is that same day, October 11 at 1.30, and you can join on Zoom if you just look at the main page of the PSRG.org website. And after that, it's Halloween the 31st. So get your costumes ready and, I don't know, prepare for an overload of sugar. That's what usually happens around here on Halloween. So 9 p.m. PSRG social
