Alright, I saw you light up the node list there Charlie. I was asking for you to see if you wanted to confirm and you were still talking when I emptied. But I've got you on the list and let's go right back to Mike, K1MDR short time. Mike, take it away. Good to have you back. Hey everybody, sorry about earlier. I got a phone call just as I was being called up. I had to take the call because I had been waiting on that call. So a while back I told you guys that I'd, with my model railroad club, I'd kicked a hornet's nest and a couple days later I told you that I think we got everything fixed. Well this is our first large show. I've been talking about that for a while. And oh my God, this was the best show that we've ever had since I've been in this club. Everybody worked together, everybody was friendly. It was like a completely different group of people. And while I didn't want to do what I did back then, but I think it actually brought us all closer in the end of the day. It was normally when we get these big long shows, especially the ones where several of us camp at the site the whole time, it's like Sunday comes and we're glad to leave. This one I wanted it to go another day or two. It was an absolutely awesome show. The layout that I was coordinating was T-track and it was the largest one we've ever produced and we had absolutely zero problems with it. We had a good team set it up. We got it set up. The electronics worked flawlessly. Our club owned portable layout had a bunch of new additions to it in the off season and we actually took second place overall. Against a layout that wins every year. So for us to go from never placing in the top three to getting second place was also an awesome accomplishment. It was an absolute great, great show. Had an awesome wonderful time and I want to go back. I don't want to be here at work, I want to go back. That's what I got. I don't have much of a critter report because I was gone all weekend and didn't get to see the critters that much. This morning when I was packing my lunch and getting ready to go to work I was being used as a climbing pole by three of them. I guess that's what a kitten does. It's absolutely adorable little things. Anyway, I've got to get to work. This is K1MDR returning it to the net.
