I'm right across the water from Seattle actually. I'm over in Sheldon, so kind of southeastern. But yeah, primary source for both the house and the detached shop and the detached garage is wood. I have an apartment out behind the garage that's also heated with wood. I do have a T-bump that I can heat the house with, but I just prefer to keep the wood stove running because that's what I was raised with and I enjoy spending time out in the woods getting firewood and stuff. And the National Forest gives 35 cords for personal use and it's $5 a cord after that. So it's kind of nice to go to the wife and go to the mountains and get some firewood and also firewood. It's an excuse to get out and do something even though it's hard work, but I find it fun. KK7NQN, back to you. KK7NQNWK7WT. Well thank you, Hunter. That's a nice story. You're raised with wood and you want to keep doing it? I must say, cutting all that wood must keep you in pretty good health. That's great. Plenty of exercise. Thanks a lot for checking in and telling us about that. Let's move on and talk to Cody, AG7LR. Cody, come ahead. What are you up to tonight? This is Retainer Station CL07, November, Quebec, November. I started transmitting pictures again, so it's on 145.800 MHz and it was dry today, so I was outside with a handheld yogi tracking it and received three good pictures out of it. They're going to be doing that through the night and the next pass is tomorrow at 11.20. There's four good passes tomorrow. There will be plenty more pictures to receive for this event. I don't know how the weather is going to hold out. If I have to stay in, I'll use the base station antenna and that doesn't receive as well as the little three element handheld yogi. That's all I've got for now. 73, everyone. AG7LR, back to bed. AG7LR, K7WSD. Well thanks, Cody, for the report and thanks particularly for reminding me and everyone else about the slow scan TV pictures that the ISS is doing down this week. I have that on my list. I didn't have any time to get to it today, but I'm going to try tomorrow. I think the weather is going to be pretty good tomorrow. I checked it this morning. So that's good. And you say there's four good ISS passes. That's great. Well I will have to put my ELK log periodic together and try and snag a few. Thanks, Cody. Let's go east and talk to Elaine. K3OMO, Elaine. What's happening back there in Florida?
