Well good morning brother Art and the rest of the family here this morning. I'm slept in a little bit today too. I've got to stop doing that get up on time. My time is like 6 30 a.m. and that's about 40 minutes ago so yeah just trying to get back on the schedule here and yeah so yesterday I got a couple of things done one of them was my one of my computers down here in the living room I use for my keeping different movies and stuff on crashed on me. It's a little little tiny Dell computers a micro and the other thing just would not boot up so I had to take it up I took it upstairs to my bench and I have another one up there same hardware and everything and yeah the hard drive died on it so I was able to find a solid-state hard drive and replace it and reload Windows 10 on it so I think when when they cut services for the Windows 10 and that's this this Wednesday I think coming up the 15th they're stopping updates Microsoft is will be loading mint Linux on it and the other three computers I have in my house will probably be running Linux as well so there you go. See yesterday I also had a did a test with my 1.2 gigahertz radio and I was able to hit about 15 or 20 miles with it that's pretty good for line of sight that's in a microwave frequency and my line of sight here I'm in the valley I mean deep in a valley and I'm about 150 feet above sea level and the person I was talking to was up about 6,000 feet I think or somewhere 4,000 feet so we had a good good line of sight I hit him with one watt of power so that was a kind of amazing so we're getting into the microwave and the satellite communications now so it's a lot of fun I have found out that my my radio does drift a little bit so we're taking we're taking some steps to remedy that I'll turn it back over to you we got a minute 38 seconds on my clock here this is AB7 DW here in Loa Oregon
