Hey, thank you, KG7CGP. It's funny, we don't always do check-ins, but I feel like having come back from vacation, and it's a good time to check in and tell folks what we've been doing. But yeah, so we did go to New Mexico, and it was to scope out places that we might be interested in moving to in like I said, maybe five years or so. We're kind of just getting close enough to retirement that it's like, well, we better start making some decisions. Ideally, to answer, so Ryan, to answer your question, am I ready for 160? No, I'm not. I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. I like our climate here. I'm very accustomed to it. I don't like the extreme. If it gets too cold or too, probably more so if it gets too hot. I am very uncomfortable. So the ideal would be that we move, we buy a house down there, and then maybe have a smaller house or a condo up here in the Seattle area, and we can go back and forth and be snowbirds. So that's kind of the plan. It's been summers up here and winters down there, but like I mentioned earlier, we're not 100% convinced that New Mexico is where we want to go. And we've got a lot of time to figure it out. So that's kind of what we're doing. The balloon festival was amazing. It was really cool. We walked out onto the field when they were doing the morning ascension. And you know, you're out there in the dark, and all the flames going up in these balloons as they're filling up and getting ready to kick off. That was amazing. It was really, really cool. Hey, by the way, for any coders out there, the free event, I've planned and put together a, we're going to participate, the place I work is Classmates, and we're going to participate in what's called a Global Day of Code Retreat. And that's November 7th. And if you go to codereachreat.org and look for events, it's free. There's no money involved in anything like that. A day for software engineers to practice their craft. And I thought I might mention that because I know there's a lot of software engineers that are ham radio folks. Because it goes hand in hand. Anyway, so if anybody's interested, ask me because I think it will be a lot of fun. And we're opening it up to the public and not just people at the company I work for, but it's going to be open to everybody. So anyway, that's all I have to say. This is KG7-AII73s, everybody. Have a wonderful weekend. Back to KG7-CGP.
