Not much, man. Just taking it easy. Get back here, relaxing. Not really much going on. Waiting till around lunchtime or so, and then I'm going out in the woods on the bike. It's a relatively sensible day here. The sun is out. I'm not sure what the temperature is, but... I can always put on a heavy jacket if it's too cold, you know. But not really a whole lot going on, man. Just here listening. I've been listening since the beginning. You started early this morning. Well, I've been listening since 9. Well, you know, like, whatever you call it on the East Coast, 730. Been listening since then, and when I tuned in, you already had the net started, so... Good on you, man. And I hope everybody's doing good. Hello to Bill and Gray and... Oh, God, I can't remember the other couple. I checked the mic there. KA6ULC. And there was, like, one or two more that I just can't remember for the life of me. I gotta let these cats out, though, because they know they're starting to get destructive. They gotta get outside and kill something. Or they're, like, gonna be tearing up couches and walls and whatever the frig else they're gonna be... Going nuts over. They're already over-conjugated by the door, so they want out. At least two of them want out. The third one, she doesn't really go out unless I go out lately. If I go out, she will, but... If not, then she'll stick around the house here, but... Yeah. So, I'm gonna let them out. Keep me on the list for now, man. I'm not sure how long I'm gonna stick around. But, uh, I'm here for now. Bill, when you're busy. Yeah, I like starting early. I just can't do it everywhere, right? Like, Scars, I can't really do that because the links click on. They're timed, kind of like the links here that are timed. For, you know, the round-the-clock nets. While their nets are timed, right? Okay, like I do... I call it the noon net. But that's not the name of it. And I know you know the deal. So, uh, I know I'm preaching to the choir. I know you know the ropes. And, uh, but all the links start coming on, like, shortly after. So, if I open early, uh, it might cause a little static for them a little bit. And then Toronto Simplex. There's a Simplex net that I do. Um, and it's very different from this. Uh, it's a little shorter at points. Plus, uh, you know, people are a little ornery and they swear and that, right? Um, but typically, uh, they're very routine people. So, uh, so for instance, uh, it's at 5.30 in the evening, right? Uh, well I don't... I can't do it here in Vancouver. But I would take my HT and walk around, um, the Garbo Bluffs. That's a good place to get out when you have a handheld. So, um, they're very routine. And they want to know, right, like, 5.30 and that. And so they don't typically screw around before that. So I gotta kinda get used to that, right? Because I'm, I'm like, raring to go. But they're, they're so strategically timed, they won't even hardly answer. Like, if I get on a 5.27, uh, they won't even hardly answer. But it's almost like 5.30. Their, their watches, their schedules, whatever it is, is just programmed and they're right ready to go. But I know here, you know, the pre-net sometimes starts really, really, really early. So, there's somebody listening. And I think Russ has picked up that knack of coming in early. Because, uh, I see them at points, uh, to where it was, you know, earlier than the way I do it, right? Like, I base it on, um, I'm gonna eat, I'm gonna smoke. Today I had, I was, I had a cigarette. So I base it on something like that. But he, um, he's like kinda already here. So a lot of times he's just more like, you know, uh, uh, I'm, I'm ready to go type, type thing. So, anyways, hey look, that's, that's the good attributes of them, right? At least we can talk about that. Okay, so, there's plenty of room where people wanna check in. So come now, this is VA3KKY, listening for you. VA3KKY, sorry Kev, I just wanna jump in for a sec. I got a quick question for Darrell if he's still around. Oh yeah, and I know what that's about. So go ahead, pass your traffic with, with Darrell.
