I could make a comment here but it's not nice. I'm nice. But it would be like a joking comment. But yeah, I do that too. I do way more than I should do while I'm driving. And the only time I get called out for it really is when my wife is in the car. And I can drive better multitasking than most people can just drive. And luckily yesterday on my way home from work on the Expressway, the Expressway I was on the speed limit is 70. So I don't know, most people go 80, some people go 90. But yeah, luckily I wasn't multitasking yesterday because I needed full everything and I had to switch to emergency mode. It was unbelievable actually. I was in the center lane in this car and I don't know how or why. I think he was changing lanes. I don't think he drifted. And he was changing lanes kind of quick but the problem was I was in the lane. I don't know what this person I'm assuming was on. But yeah, they came into my lane. I was able to honk my horn to get them to go back. So I pressed on the horn and I didn't just tap it. I just held it until I saw the car move away. But what I was doing is I didn't have time to get to the, I was in the middle lane, I didn't have time to go left without like looking left. So I honked the horn and I started going left a little bit and I was just trying to watch how close he was to me so I could just give him that much more room until he turned. And I took a quick glance after I started moving over to the other lane and thank God, you know, people saw alongside of me and they all slowed down waiting for the accident to happen. So yeah, be careful out there. I was going to make a jab but then I told you my story and luckily, let me reset. Yeah, luckily, luckily I wasn't doing my stupid on the phone thing, checking my messages, doing paperwork. A lot of times I do the voice of text which is a little bit less distracting but I would say that I had a pretty close call yesterday. So and then on the way out here we, we're really out in the country out here. We leave Belgium and we take back roads and it's almost all farmland and farm towns all the way out here. And I think a raccoon was crossing the road and I didn't see it until my wife, I kind of saw it when my wife saw it and she made a scream and shut her eyes and there was something wrong with this thing. It was limping and it was going slow across the road and I was able to get the brakes and let this, and I swerved over on the oncoming lane which there was no traffic. I'm out in the middle of nowhere on a two lane country highway and I was able to spare its life but it wasn't looking good. I probably would have been doing him a favor by stopping his life but anyway, that mind, back to you Josh, K9 PFD. This is KJ5 IRQ returning. Yeah, I don't text and drive like right now. I can run the night and drive because I have my phone, I have this picture button, big old screen, I don't have to worry about looking at it or anything. My list is pre-made, I mean, you know, I left after most of the list was on there. The last few call finds, either, you know, if I'm at a stop light or something like that, I'll jot them down or whoever's sitting with me jots them down. That way I don't have to be distracted. So I'm not super distracted driving. I don't glance down at my list as often as I should. That would help but yeah. So yeah, I don't text and drive, I don't do any of that anymore. I used to back in the day. All right, moving on. Let's see. KC7YFE, we'll check with you to see if you're with us. And then SINAMAL, I'm pretty sure is with the other conference.
