Oh yeah, I know, yeah, okay, thank you, thank you. Yeah, well, what are we doing here? We're waiting for the arrival of a refurbished VHS and DVD player and recorder from Amazon. Now why would I be buying one of those? Or having one anyway? Well, we've got hundreds and hundreds of hours of VHS tapes, you know, the kids when they were little and whatnot, and my son is having one of his birthday parties coming up here in October, and his sweetheart, Sarah, said, do you think you could get together some bits and pieces of Zachary as he was growing up? And I said, yeah, we could probably do that, and however, the player we have is just eating tapes, you know, buying a head cleaner that didn't work, and so we pulled up sugar and got a good refurbished one from Amazon due here today. So many, many hours of looking at old tapes. Now to transcribe these, I did also buy a thing for 99 bucks, it's a digitizer. God, it's not much bigger than two cell phones put back to back, but it has the three plugs for left, right, and video, and it has a plug for plugging in a memory stick, and so you can play the VHSs and then download them into a memory stick, and I think I took a look at 64 megabytes will hold about two hours of video, and so Amazon had a pretty good bargain on it. Buy five for 25 bucks. I said, that's a lot of video, and I don't know if we'll fill them all up, but we'll make at least maybe an hour or two, and give it to Sarah, and when Zachary gets together with all his friends, they can watch it on any device, you know, plug it into the back of a laptop or a TV or whatever. So that's one of the jobs I've got coming up soon here. And seven, is going without gas, looking forward to the game, the Seahawks game this Sunday. Okay, I will it.
