AJ5IRQ, this is KC2PKG. Good net, Josh. Really good net. We just got an appointment for one of the cats who's been sounding like he's choking. And he can't keep a lot of food down. So we got an appointment. We're going to take him over. An emergency appointment and we'll find out. I actually think he's turned the corner and getting better. But Wes wants to take him down, so that's what we're going to do. You know, 10 years ago when this house was being planned, I looked at Zigbee and all the other methodologies, controlling switches and stuff like that, and I made the decision that I wanted like zero maintenance. So any switch I looked at had to be Wi-Fi. It didn't need a converter, didn't need a control panel, didn't need all that stuff. It was Wi-Fi and you could run it with Alexa natively. So it's not complicated. And this situation I'm rapidly entering here is the exact one that I was trying to prepare for. So I'm going to look at the Lutron and the Leviton. You said one of those you had good experiences with. I don't know which one it was. But they have to do Wi-Fi, otherwise I won't use them. And it can't be proprietary. You know, everybody has to be able to control them. So whether you use HomeKit or just an Alexa, call it by its name, that'll be fine with me. And I guess we'll just migrate them as they go bad. We'll migrate them one at a time. It still means we've got two different systems, but I want to run them from one thing. And that is for now, that's Alexa. That's what I'm going to run them with. Anyway guys, 73. It's always a privilege and a pleasure. Again, a really good night, Josh. Good for you. And I will talk at you all tomorrow. And I guess the Toronto Kevin is running things because I haven't heard from the Portland Kevin. So we'll talk to you soon. Back to you. KJ5IRQ. This is KC2PKG.
