Well, we had my son's celebration of his 40th birthday last night. It was to be outside at Golden Gardens, and we packed the car up with a 10x10 cover thing, and six or eight chairs, tables. I had my lithium battery hooked to an inverter for 120 volt AC shore power for some very, very powerful LED lights. And so we were all set up. We got there and started to sprinkle about 5 o'clock, and the powers that be, his sweetheart Sarah said, this isn't going to work out here in the rain. So the business that Zachary started with some help called Channel Marker Hard Cider, they're not open on Tuesdays at their tasting room and their establishment on 15th, just down from Market Street. So the whole party switched to that. And well, it was a lot of fun. We watched the baseball game, and when we lost in the ninth inning, we switched over to the football game and watched the Seahawks. Well, when we went home about 8 o'clock, it was 14 to nothing. So that was fun. But I just want to special thanks to our ham radio community in general. Through a lot of work with old VHS tapes and some technology, we were able to put together, with help from some of our ham friends, an hour's worth of little vignettes of my son, approximately from age 2 1-2 years old all the way up to recently. So it brought tears to both Don and I as we watched it for the first time, end to end. And it'll be a great addition when we have our party tonight for just family members. So thank you to the ham radio community. And this has been 7GWG, back to Net Control, and thanks for doing the net, Tim.
