Well, hey there Fred. You know, I'm sorry about the Mariners too. Oh man, that was such an emotional roller coaster. It brought back some playoff memories from my childhood. I'll put it that way. And those also ended in gloss unfortunately. But anyway, it was a lot of fun watching them go to the playoffs and everything. But anyway, yeah, we're glad you stopped by to say hello to all those over here in the PNW as well as everywhere else listening around the country and the world. So yeah, we're glad to have you here and stop by. And the squirrel guy, yeah, that's Jeff, AB6MB, coming in with the squirrel report from down there in the Bay Area of California. So thanks for stopping by Fred. You have a great rest of your evening. All right, next up on the list we're going to go talk to Justin, KK7QES. Hi Justin. Well, hello Brooks. This is Justin, KK7QES. And hello Megan. 7-3 to you both. Thanks for running the net tonight. I have a silly story to report on. My ham radio skills came in handy. My wife gave me a pat on the back that I never thought I would get. So about a year ago I got a new sit stand desk for our shared office. And she really wanted that because we shared the office space. We kind of rotate in there. And we're very different in stature. And she likes to stand more than I do. So anyway, about six months ago intermittently the controller for this desk would like, at some point in the day, move the desk up a half an inch and then back down a half an inch, and then up two inches and then back down half an inch. And it obviously made it impossible to really trust it when she was working. And it suddenly hit me tonight. I wonder if this is caused by like RFI going on, because it's a touch panel, not like a touch screen, but I think like inductive touch, kind of like maybe like a touch lamp would be. And I thought well, maybe this is caused by RFI. And so I went to the shed and grabbed the toroid and came in and told my wife, this is going to solve all our issues. And she said, what's that? And I said, it's a toroid. And she said, okay. And so I put the toroid on the controller cable. And so far it seems to be working. I have a hunch that if it is RFI getting on that cable and causing the desk to move, it might be from my inverter for my solar panels and battery system. But anyway, I was happy to have maybe solved that. We'll give it a few days before I declare victory, but I just thought that was funny. Anyway, the other thing tonight, I got the Halloween lights finally done. They were delayed because of what I'm going to call baseball madness. And yeah, I'll just leave it at that. Brooks, I share your sentiment about bringing up some childhood playoff memories, so that was pretty cool. But I got the Halloween lights finally done in the yard. The last couple of years I have used addressable LEDs for my holiday lights and it's really fun. So I'm going to kind of program some new patterns in there probably over the next couple of days. But anyway, that's what's going on with me. Hope everyone is well. KK7, QES, back to Nat.
