Hey, good morning everyone on the net. I'm Jack, great to hear you controlling as always. I don't normally get to check into the 9 o'clock net because I've normally been at work for, oh by now, at least two hours. But I had a little unusual, a little bit of an unusual start this morning. I had a doctor's appointment. I had to go in and have an ultrasound to verify that I had a hernia that my doctor suspected that I had. Without getting into any of the story details or anything like that, it was just kind of funny. The ultrasound technician obviously is not allowed to give you a diagnosis or anything like that, but with all the things she said and had to do. And then the follow-up question is, are you going to get this fixed? It was pretty obvious how this was going to end. But fortunately in my case, since I'm active duty, it happened on the government's time. I'll get fixed on the government's time eventually, you know, once that reopens and all that. But anyway, it's a beautiful day out. Blue skies. It looks like it's going to be a beautiful week. I'm going to try to get the time to start making the way to getting my new check set up at my AOTTH. I just finished moving. A few of you have heard me whacking poetic about this during my last few check-ins. But I have a nice new place out to see it back, which will lend itself great to all sorts of new antennas and things like that. But the only issue I've found, let me break. KK72, this is Major Turning. The issue I've found in my new place is where my utility ground is, is about 80 feet away in my house from where I want my shack to be. So that means I'm going to probably get to do a lot of trenching and drive a new ground and bonding and things like that. So I'm working my way through that one. But right now, I'm just using the ARL grounding and bonding book and the NEC book and things like that. I'm just not really seeing much of a way around it. So that's the latest adventure, but I'm looking forward to getting back on the air as soon as I can. But for now, I'm on mobile station. And a lot better than nothing though. I'll send it back. Hope you all have a great day. I just broke over the hill here in Kitsap County on Newberry Hill, and I can see the bay here. It's just beautiful. Have a good one. KK7-TSH, back in that control. Alright, Matt. Hey, thank you so much. Well, yeah, so as soon as you crashed the hill, I could tell because all of a sudden your saver was a little less broken up. Yeah, we got the whole report though. Well, and just to your point too about not getting too into the weeds, but yeah, the operation they do for hernias, I saw one years ago on cable access, believe it or not, and I could not believe it. It's amazing. Boy, they'll have you fixed up in no time at all. Endoscopic cameras, the surgery. This is something I saw at the University of Washington on their cable access surgery channel years ago. But anyway, it is really amazing. It is incredible how they do it, and man, that person was in and out of surgery, I think, in about an hour or so. Anyway, I hope that that goes well for you and to keep us informed, alright? But yeah, like I say, not too far into the weeds, okay? Anyway, enough on that. Hey, good luck with the body and grounding, and Ward's book is an excellent, excellent book on that subject too. Anyway, Ward Silver. Alright, let's continue on now, see if there's anybody else for the 9 o'clock NFSU, come ahead, call, sign and name. KI-7, ZEI recheck.
