Thank you John very much and thanks for doing the net. I call it Union City and then occasionally just for fun I'll call it Onion City. Rebecca likes to call it Onion City in that, but either way is fine. But it's a bit of fun with the name. First off, I got a new toy today. I got an AM-FM shortwave radio. That's about, I don't know, about four inches high and about two inches wide. Very small. And I thought if we have any kind of emergencies here and the big earthquake hits us in California, you know, I can have that on for the different, you know, the different frequencies that are available here for emergency traffic. So I got that and got that from Timu and nice little thing. I just got it, you know, maybe a couple hours ago so it just showed up. But I'm going to play around with it more tomorrow and have fun with it. And I bought a J-Pole with a 10-foot or 16-foot coax on it with a hook on it. And I'm going to use that also if something happens here and hang it up. And I got to test it out tomorrow and see if I can hit the small repeater with a little bit of static. But I want to make sure I can hit it really, you know, really good and get out. And with that being said, let's see here. I was talking to Shawn and she sent me a picture of her bunk desk. And that is one of the coolest things I've seen. I just love the way it looks. If I had a small one-bedroom apartment, I would have one of those in there. I'd have a bed out there at the top and, you know, put shelving up there or something, you know. Because I think it just looks really cool. But, you know, hearing everybody out there is good tonight, enjoying the net. Temperature here today was about 78 and sunny out of all things. And the squirrels are running around here. And I have a new squirrel I call Tiny. It's way smaller than the other squirrels. And, in fact, the first time I saw her, I thought it was a chipmunk. But then I realized chipmunks do not look like that. So, anyway, I didn't see her today. So, hopefully I'll see her tomorrow because she's just adorable. But the usual peanuts and nuts out for the squirrels. And they're running around chasing each other and all. And it's just fun to have them around. You know, during the day they just entertain me. Because they're always doing something out there. And shooting around and having fun. Then I was watching my usual shows on YouTube. The guy has a big, long canal boat. And it's about seven feet wide and about 75 or 80 feet long. And they used those boats originally to haul, for the industrial revolution, to haul the ore and textiles and whatnot in them. But at that time they used horses to bring them along down the canals and that. And it was interesting enough. They have these tunnels. And the tunnels the horses can't get. So they would have guys get on top of the boats and then use their feet to shove the boat down the tunnel. You know, a few feet at a time. And actually that's what they did for a job. And I cannot imagine that. That would be horrible. But, you know, it was a little bit. Anyway, what's good Gavin? I'm looking forward to, you know, some other TV shows coming on. But that's another story. So with that Joan, I'll turn it back to you. Thanks again for doing that. AB6MB.
