I'm back. It's an abandoned rail bed that's been turned into a multi-purpose trail and it's smooth. And so they've taken the rails up, but it's a recreational trail now. And in the spring, summer, and fall, it's used for ATVs, bicycles, hiking, horseback riding, that kind of thing. And in the wintertime, it's used for snowmobiles and cross-country skiing. And so it's not very long, but part way in between, there's a little restaurant that has outdoor seating, so we're going to try that. Hopefully that will go well. We'll see. Our previous dog, Paris, she went everywhere with us and has ridden hundreds of miles. And what we used to do is take the back shield out so she can put a bed in the back of it so she could stick her head through into the seating area, the cab area, so to speak, and have access to us. And she's ridden a lot of miles with us. And so we're hoping Rika will end up and do the same thing. A little warmer the next two days, about 10 to 15 degrees warmer than today was, so that'll be good. And I think with that, I'm going to turn it back to you, Graham. Oh, one other thing. I've been going out of the house today, so I looked at the door, and here is both Rika and Cairo sitting beside each other, looking out, wondering where I was. And I couldn't get my phone out quick enough to take a picture. Would have been a good one. Okay, back to you, Graham. This is KC1D2S. This is repeater station kilo, kilo seven, November, Quebec, November. KC1D2S, Paul. Well, thank you. Thank you so much. Lots of stuff there. Just before I come back to you there, Paul, I just see that K5RLR Randall was saying that extended freedom doesn't seem to be working. So I know there's tech guys out there. And Dave, can you have a look at that as well? Randall doesn't specify exactly which part of extended freedom. It isn't working. So, yeah, can you look at that just in case you've lost some connection there. We always love to have all our connections here on a Friday, that's for sure. Hey, Paul, great to hear from you, sir. It really is. And we find business on the call this morning, yet there. And today, this evening, when I took Ray Oden out for his evening walk, I had my, for the first time this year, well, I say this year. I mean, obviously in January, I was using my winter jacket. I did have it on. And it's not really very cold here. It's 10 degrees centigrade right now, which isn't too bad for 9.22 PM. Or maybe it's 9.23 PM. My watch is going slow. It needs a new battery. Anyway, for the first time, this time of the year, I had my big jacket on. So, yeah, just tell a story when you have to go and swap your jackets around for something else, or a heavier coat and everything else. By the way, it sounds like you had a wonderful, wonderful, I think it was Sunday, you're going to see your daughter there and everybody else on a week and a late breakfast next to a lighthouse outside. That sounds beautiful. Absolutely amazing. When did you take any photos? Well, that sounds great. And good to hear of you. We got a report there on how to Cairo as well, of course. And the ATV, well, let us know next week how you get on with that. And we're trying to do the same with Odin, just bringing him out into all different kinds of experiences. One of our next ones is going on a boat. We're going to go on a big cruise, just a wee cruise, out in the fourth, the first of fourth there. And leaves from near Edinburgh, just a wee boat. It's a black cabin, you can go indoors or you can go upstairs and be in the outdoors. So we'll just see how he does, see how his sea legs are. So we'll do that kind of thing as well. But all good fun. So thanks for the popular report there and everything else. Just take a wee break.
