Okay, let me get this back here. I got 12 people on the list here. KK7Z, KVD7WA, VA6GRZ, KV8RER, KT7JOE, N7RHV, N8THJ, KV5EWH, I got NS, I think it's, I'm sorry, KG01YST, and if that's not right you can correct me when it's your turn, KBQRQQ, KG6WKO, and KB7PBW. Let's move to the top of the list. We'll get everybody in, just hang on not with us. We'll go on as long as we need. KK7Z, good morning Joe. What's going on down there in Las Vegas? This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec November. Yeah, let me see if it's working here. Okay, looks good. I'm on the newer computer. More on their day than everybody on the internet, Joe in Las Vegas. Boy, we had a wicked storm yesterday. I look forward to hearing from Joe and Joyce later. I think they hit it worse down there. It's pretty crazy, but still swimming in the pool. Yesterday may have been my last day. It was about 77 degrees, the water temperature, but it's cooler this morning, and I think going forward it's going to be cooler, so we might go to that next level, or I won't be swimming. And I wasn't sure on your first question something about tipping or something unusual about tipping. I'll just throw this in there. The thing drives me crazy is I tip generally fairly well, especially for good service, and you know, especially places I go to on a regular basis. However, if I go someplace and I get absolutely crappy service, I have a crappy waiter or waitress, and on and on and on, I don't think they deserve a minimum of 15%. I've literally left a quarter before, and it's been years since I've done that, but I don't believe in tipping if you're not getting the service, and I see people all the time they'll say, now you got to give them at least 15%. No, no, if I'm not getting the service, you know, you speak with your wallet. If they're giving you crappy service, no, I don't think they do deserve 15%. I think a quarter or even a dime should let them think about how they treat people, so that's my two cents. But like I said, in all reality, I tip generally very, very good. 15%, 20%, 25%, even 30% depending. And as far as stuff I don't buy anymore, you know, the only thing I don't buy is a little snack treat, beer nuts. Beer nuts party mix I used to buy. It used to be six bucks for this huge bag, and then they literally made the bag half the size, and the price went up a couple of dollars, and I was in the store the other day, and that small bag now was $15. And you know, I like that as a treat, but I'm not gonna pay 15 bucks for maybe a two serving snack, so that's about the only thing I can think of there Dave. So anyway, thanks for being here, good to hear you, and I'll send you guys a note. I'm gonna be heading to Pittsburgh in a few weeks. My days aren't going to be interrupted here, I just, you know, I'm usually not on the net at all during those times. So anyway, it's Joe in Las Vegas, KK7Z, back to net.
