Oh, that was Sydney too. Okay, well you know what? Now if you would like a first contact award, she can file for one for you. The form is online, even though the FCC is currently not in attendance at their office, you can still do a first contact award without that, as long as she can do it online. And if you would like to have that done, she can certainly get the form, even though they're offline. I think that form is still available. If not, let me know and I could send that to her. But anyway, yeah, we like doing first contact awards if you know the time and taking all that stuff. So anyway, all right, well take care. It would be great to meet you. Yes, Wednesday, noon, and net transmitted live from the park with our friend from Sean, Ballarat, Australia, VK3KK. All right, you have a great afternoon and you can always come back for a recheck if you want to. Next time I call for new stations and or rechecks, etc. So great to meet you, Claire. All right, let's continue on. Let's go see what Mike's up to. K1MD are. Hi, Mike. Good morning, everybody. You know, I think this is just kind of an off-the-wall comment here, but I think truck drivers not only need to know English, but they also had to pass kindergarten. It'd be a good idea because this truck ahead of me cannot stay between the lines. He is constantly driving on the shoulder. There's no reason for that. This road is going to go to the exit that he's going to need to take. And I know that because container trucks take this exit all the time. Got to love commuting anyway. And it looks like on the other side of the freeway, there is a whole bunch of red flashy lights and it don't look like there's anything but one lane, maybe two getting by. That ain't good. So if you're in the area of the West Seattle Bridge heading south, expect to stay there for a good long while. Nothing new on the critter side of things. The kittens are still all, I still got eight of them, they're still causing havoc and confusion amongst our house. And you know, I'm going to have to second the Linux thing. I've been using, I have a computer that will not upgrade to Windows 10 and it doesn't have that special chip that Microsoft demands that you have. Thanks for that Microsoft. So I just switched over to Mint Linux. And for those of you out there that are not computer gurus, two flavors of Linux that I'd recommend for those Windows users that just want to come in and have a good time with the computer and not have too much trouble, I would highly recommend going with either Mint Linux or Ubuntu. They're really easy to use. They are very similar in their setup to Windows and they do run Windows applications. It's not native but you install an app and then that app will run Windows applications. Plus everything you can do on Windows you can do on Linux for free. You don't have to buy Office, you don't have to pay for Office 365. You can get something else that does the job just as good if not better and it's free. Microsoft does not want you to know that. They just want to take all your money. Anyway, I'm off the freeway now so there's no more traffic and I'm going to bring this back to the net because that's all I got today. K1 MDR. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec November. Alright Mike, thank you for dropping by. You drive safe out there. Hey, I do have a couple of things though. So Mike I think is down to seven or eight kittens. He is starting to give them away so if you're interested in a nice, fluffy, gorgeous little kitten, you know, just contact Mike and I think his email is correct and on his QRZ page. I want to look at that now. We just go out to K1 MDR and inquire if you're interested in getting a fluffy kitten. Now, back to the truck though that you saw that had the issues driving outside the lines and off into the side of the road. Could it be that the driver is having a mechanical issue? Did he slow down as well? Could it be that there's some distress in the cab? What's your take on that Mike? Back to you K1 MDR because I have seen that where you think, okay, what is this guy doing? What's this woman doing? But then it turns out there's some issue with the truck, mechanical, electrical, you know, you just don't know. So could it be that that is what's happening? No, I'm not thinking so. This guy has been following him for a while. Sometimes I pass him, sometimes he passes me. His truck seems to be able to track on the road properly and if it can't, it has no business being on the road. I just honestly think this guy either doesn't know what he's doing or doesn't know where he's at and it could be both. He does have his hitching lights on which are really bright and right in your eyes when you get up next to him. So he hasn't turned those off and he's just pulling a container to the port and he likes moving off to the right. He wants to get into the merging lane where he has no business in the merging lane. He wants to also ride on the shoulder where he has no business riding on the shoulder. I have a feeling the guy just doesn't know what's going on. He's probably distracted in the cab which is highly dangerous when you're pulling a truck that's four to five times larger than everything else on the road. Anyway, back to the net. K1MDR.
