Oh man, I have to misspeak in right toward the end all the time, but today I heard the repeater clicking away over there, decided to put the radio on and, well, just saw him to click it on right in time to hear your final call. I'm not really doing anything exciting today other than sitting here working on code. Kind of moved on from the whole TFN project that seems to just kind of run now. And I don't have any wild ideas, I want to try on it. So, I've been on to the next project, I have a Steam release key, a release that I started a few months ago, I decided I'd go back to it. But, you know, making the game to be able to release on Steam is a massive undertaking. When I walked into it I figured out, you know, a couple months of work, we'll get to them. And I think I'm now at like 9.5, 10 months, yeah we're at 10 months now. It started in January. And yeah, I think I'm another year away from actually releasing it, even though I did initially plan on releasing it by the end of the year, at least like a tech demo or something. I technically got a tech demo already done, but it's by no means playable. I might get an early access or something out by the end of the year. But yeah, it's been fun. It's fun to learn new skills and push your own limits at the skills. For me lately it's been the whole code and AI and all that fun stuff. Just seeing what I can do with it. And like, this project is a push because my code knowledge is limited and I'm not an artist. So I have to use computers to fill in the gaps of basically everything. And there's a lot of gaps there. And trying to make computers do human things is really hard. But it's an adventure and it's really fun. It just helps us line up with winter starting now. So yeah, I'll spend more time on it. This summer I'm all over the place. I own properties in several states, I'm struggling everywhere. And then I have the further moment of adventure that I decide to chase as well. Anyways, this is KK7 and QN back to the net. Hunter and also looking at your QRZ page and exploring the outdoors and backcountry hiking. Also awesome things. And off-grid power systems and solar design. Also a couple of things I love. And in fact I've lived off the grid for years with my former partner in the upper peninsula of Michigan. And that camp that we lived in is still there, although we have a partnership in the land to a couple of other people that were co-owners. But it's still there. And it's still way off the grid. The upper peninsula has electrical grid coming from two sides and there's a gap in the middle. So western upper peninsula gets power from Wisconsin and then the eastern upper peninsula gets power from northern Wisconsin. And then lower Michigan. And the power grids don't meet. So we lived, for instance, in that particular situation, three and a half miles off the grid from the Marquette countryside and 1.9 miles off the grid from the Alger countryside. But we had a small solar panel which was enough to keep one big deep cycle battery topped off most of the time and it was enough to do ham radio. That's what we used it for. And some 25 watt incandescent Edison based bulbs in a back room and a shed. So anyway, yep, I keep running into hams tonight who are people like to go into wilderness or the semi-wilderness. Technically the UP is the
