Well, I will start by wishing Liz good luck. I hope everything works out. I worked for Amazon for a couple years and I know that feeling of, you know, that you know it's coming and it just doesn't feel good. In any case, my news here is on Saturday night at about 937 I think was when it was we lost power. Well, we finally got power back today at 324 so almost 42 hours without power. I know there's still people out there that are still without power but that's the longest power outage we've had here since I hooked up or that we got our generator installed and I am thankful for that generator every time we have a power outage, but especially when it goes more than just an hour or two. So that's what I have to say. Hope everyone's having a good evening. I'll turn it back to the net so we can get this thing wrapped up. Joan, thank you very much for hosting the net. We'll turn it back to you. N7YD. This is repeater station kilo-7 November, Quebec, November. Well, thank you Mark. Yeah, I've been doing it for almost 11 years. I took a break. I took part of a year off. And then I forget exactly. I did I took a break. I did it for almost two years starting what 2015 or something? 2014 or 2015 and then I did it for I ran Tuesday night net for about one and two thirds or one and three quarter years and then I took about a half a year off. Actually took a few months off and I started subbing and then I started doing Monday night for someone who was moving away. Costco, Costa. He ended up buying a farm in Argentina or something and and and was leaving for good. And so I ended up just taking over his Monday night net and he left. And I and that was a week while ago. So from the time I started to know is about working on 11 years. Anyway, I forgot what I was gonna make a comment. I didn't write anything down. I was listening to what you're saying and I just kind of just kind of disappeared on me. Oh a power. Yeah, our power went out. I think probably the same time. I just checked into the the Saturday night net and about 20 minutes later my power went out, which I love it. It really gets dark and very quiet all the hums and and noises. You know building noises turned off. I love and and of course my lights my desk lights didn't turn off because their music stand lights running on batteries. And then the power came on. I went to bed and and then while I was asleep somewhere in there, you know, I woke up and the power had turned back on but it was off for at least three or four three hours. I'm gonna guess. Could have been longer. But then it went off again on Sunday night. And I didn't realize that because I was reading a book. I love reading books and Sebastian was mentioning reading. I love real books and I have I clip on this music stand light and I've got another one to my on my mixer my mic you mix it to my right and then another one on the windowsill to my left and I was so observed in the book that I didn't even realize that I had left my lights on and the power had gone off. But I noticed the street was especially dark out there. And so I turned off my desk lamps. I said, to myself, my goodness, it's all totally dark. All the lights are off. Look at that. So dark and then the power came back on. So I was so absorbed in my book that I was reading Carl Hiaf and satirical murder mystery that I didn't I had not even noticed that the other lights in my apartment had gone off while I was reading. It's just which is kind of fun. I thought it was wonderful that I was so absorbed that I didn't even notice the power going off because my reading light is battery powered. But I also run my radio on directly off of a four cell lithium ferro phosphate battery that I keep floating. I float my charger. I float my battery with my bench power supply set to 14.40 volts an ideal float voltage for four cell lithium ferro phosphate batteries. And my radio didn't turn off or anything. I mean, it's like I don't have to stop what I'm doing. And my computer that I have sitting here is a MacBook Air. It also doesn't turn off. But I've said long enough.
