Well, it's my turn again already. Hmm. Well, I was just thinking about all the work I did yesterday, like I said, on the driveway. A friend of mine, he bought a new power washer and he says, I don't like this one anymore. You have it. Take it home. And I thought, okay, I've never owned one of these things before, but I gave it a try. It's really actually quite nice. He gave me extension hoses and it's a very powerful one. It's a Honda one. I mean, Honda, the engine, a power washer. I found out these things are kind of expensive. But I've had it for a couple of years and I've only used it a couple of times. The driveway, that thing was filthy. It took me, I mean, the back is roughly 45 by 45, you know, and it took me several hours to get that nice and clean. Then what was really nice is I could take the high pressure injectors, change it to the one I want, the sprayer, and I'd go down that hole and just dig it all out, you know, for the crack. And it would remove any loose rock or whatever. And it did a good job. It really did. I've done my porch that way. I've gone and cleaned my porch. I've got a big 20 by 20 deck that I redid here a couple of years ago and stained and everything else. I decided I wanted to water treat it again before the winter set in. So I washed it with a power washer. You've got to be careful of that thing, man. You can actually strip wood real quick like if you don't watch what you're doing. But he was a good friend, man. In fact, I'm going to have lunch with him today. We're going to go to a new Italian restaurant. So I'm not eating any breakfast this morning, you know, making sure that I'm not going to consume too many calories today. And you know that lasagna and garlic bread and everything? You'll add up the calories real quick. So we got that. His name is James, and he belongs to a TARCIS group. And basically it's a motorcycle club for dirt bike riders. And everybody in the club is in their 70s, 60s, 70s. I think the oldest one is 75, and they're still riding a dirt bike. And they go on these trips down to Arkansas and out to Colorado and up in Moab. I mean, they go everywhere. And they play rough. They really do. Every year, every time they go out, somebody winds up in the hospital. And they went out last week, and my friend James, he's 69 right now, I think. Yeah, 69. He wound up breaking his ankle. So now he's in I think a cast. He has crutches and kind of ruined his trip, but still. I mean, 69 years old, and you're biking, dirt biking, you know, 500cc motorcycle through the woods, up trails, up hills, across rocks. Something's going to happen. A couple of years ago, he actually got a concussion. And it was kind of silly. He wasn't even on his bike. He was just helping somebody else get the bike out of a bad position. And somehow he lost his grip. He didn't have his helmet on. And he bashed his head against a rock. And so he got wound up with a concussion. I don't know what is it with old people. I mean, I'm getting there myself, but I don't have the – I'm just not brave enough to do things that could possibly cause me my life at this stage of the game, especially when I'm about ready to retire, you know. I mean, come on. I want to collect that Social Security. And I want to spend all that money on that 401K before I pass on. You know, that's important to me. Let's have a couple of good years of life where I sit in this chair and babble all day long on the radio. Back to net control. KB0MAI.
