Well, good afternoon there, Tim and everyone. I'm at T9VDC Brooks here in Newcastle. Yeah, I guess you could say we did something for Halloween. We handed out candy. So, let's see, we did, Megan got all kinds of candy. We got it at Target earlier in the week, so we were all ahead of schedule there. And then Thursday I went and picked up a Papa Murphy's pizza so that we could make it on Friday, yesterday, because previously I had tried to get pizza on Halloween, and you end up waiting way too long for your pizza. So we were prepared in that regard as well. The tally on the trick-or-treaters. So the doorbell rang a total of eight times, and we had a total of 18 trick-or-treaters. So I've been keeping track the last few years. I think last year we had 25 or 24, and the year before I think we had 17. So we're about typical. And not too bad for a pretty rainy night. But we have a lot of leftover candy. So I guess we'll have to figure out what to do with that. Anyway, let's see, what was I looking at today? So there are some new Washington State license plates that have come out. A friend of mine works for the state and was part of the project that rolled out some of these new designs. One of them is a throwback plate. It's a black plate with light lettering and says Washington in kind of a throwback style. And so I'm trying to figure out if I can get that plate with my call sign on it, because the call sign plate is just a Washington plate with the mountain on it. And so he's going to ask some folks in his department there exactly what that process would look like. So that would be kind of cool to get an even further customized plate set up with the call sign on it. But anyway, there is that. Outside of that, I've got the mini mill is coming together. I got the vice in last week and a couple other things. So I need to work on getting the head all aligned, and then I can get the vice mounted. And then I could start cutting some aluminum. So that'll be fun. I'll try to post some pictures or videos once I get that kind of going. But it's kind of just tinkering on it as I have time to do it. It's a lot of work to get it all set up and going. So I'm trying not to do it all at once, because I don't necessarily have a timeline for it. But that's OK. Anyway, that's what I got. K9, BDC, back to that.
