KJ5IRQ returning for the last time today. Yeah, that was good timing actually. I just stepped away from the computer, taking a break for just a second to get my head wrapped around what I'm working on, you know. I find Monday mornings to be difficult for the first couple of hours just to get my head back into the sphere of working for the week. You know, I have the same issue whenever I take vacation for PTO. I hate it. I just have to push myself to get back into it. And once I'm into it, I'm good. I just don't have the want to, but that's okay. Just got there looking at the weather. It's a copycat every single day for the next 10 days or so it looks like so far. A high, around a high 80s, maybe a 90s. Lows in the mid-60s. So, you know, a pretty good range of weather. We can go from nice and cool in the morning where the hoodie is being wrapped up in the blanket to being threatened by the afternoon. Let's see, what else can we talk about for the 73 round? Again, make sure that you follow all warnings with Tylenol from all people. Try to be funny there. Really, I really didn't have much to talk about yesterday. I mean, I kind of forced myself on each go around here to have something to talk about. Oh, hey, Portland. You know, we didn't bring up Portland at all. I have been watching a lot of social media on Portland and Broadview, Illinois and a few other places. But they're rare. All the anti-ice protesting is going on in front of the ice facilities. I can tell you first hand that it hasn't been peaceful. I'm seeing, objectively, I'm seeing questionable things from both sides. But it's just watching. Okay, so yesterday, my wife and I, in the evening, we were watching primarily the Portland one, right? Because it's supposed to be crazy there. And it does look a bit crazy as far as weirdos. There's a lot of weirdos. There's even a lady who was in a wheelchair. I guess she's disabled. And she was topless. Like her top half was, she was grabbing them and advancing them to the music. And it blew our minds. That's on YouTube. You can go look at it. I mean, it's verifiable. Let me take it real quick, quick. It's also on Twitter. It's very verifiable. Everything I'm saying right now is verifiable. We watched it with our own eyes. And then, you know, they were having a pretty good time. It wasn't crazy. There seemed to be a lot of internal fighting between the protesters. But then we later found out that there was also some Republican or right leaning people there. So maybe that was it. I don't know. It's hard to kind of get a grasp on that, you know, just watching videos. But I can tell you that the ICE people did come out and give warnings about clearing the street, that they needed to use it. And then they would push them out of the way and take whoever resisted into custody. It seemed pretty straightforward to me. There were a few times when I thought, you know, maybe they were a bit too us or maybe they could have been more professional. But that's not my call to make, you know. So I don't know. The first thing we just didn't bring up was the protesting of the ICE facilities. And I didn't think about it myself while we were here earlier. But I can assure you there will probably be more tonight. Keep in mind the time zones. Portland kind of ran off the hinge and they started throwing rocks. And what else was there? Firecrackers and other things. Seen it, you know, but it didn't happen until after midnight our time, which is about 10 o'clock I think their time. So, you know, it's awful late when it happens, but it definitely happened. Oh, and I have pictures and video proof of people dropping off plowbridge shields and helmets. That's crazy. I mean, seriously, we watched it on video. Plowbridge shields. I don't know what to think about all that. I'm not passing judgment either way. It's just kind of eye opening. Keeping my mind open and trying to gather facts. With that, I'll bid you farewell today. KJ5IRQ. Back to KC2. PKG. Great net, by the way, especially with the difficulties getting it started this morning.
