Oh, thank you. I'm doing pretty good. I actually had a quick comment on the whole late battery thing. I've actually done a couple experiments with those. A little China BMS on them and stacked them together into... I did a power bank. A USB power bank that I could charge my phone and other USB stuff off of. And I can run my little All-Star node off of it and stuff. And they do work. I'm not sure how well they would work in a Powerwall application. Because in my experiments, anything over about 1 amp, they get kind of unhappy. Even though technically they should do more, they don't like to. But yeah, it's a fun experiment. As long as you understand what you're playing with, when you're playing with the batteries. Especially the pouch cells. The pouch cells even scare me and I've done a lot of work with lithium batteries. The big lithium batteries like EVs. I'm a hybrid EV tech so that's what I get to play with all the time. But yeah, fun experiments with batteries. I was actually then pondering ideas around of using Selmer's cells to do a Powerwall. I already have a huge solar array on the house here. I have a 28,000 watt solar array on the house here. And I've been tossing around the idea of where I can salvage cells to build a Powerwall or battery bank or something like that. I've been thinking like Nissan LEAF batteries or something like that. And I did think about vape batteries and stuff too. But the whole current draw limitation of them kind of killed them for me. But I mean if you went through and soldered them I'm sure you could do it. But yeah, that's all I really have for tonight. This is KK7NQN, back to Nat.
