But I think it did. My repeater didn't drop so we'll go find out. Anyway, KC7GHC going high tech here. Would you believe that I have an IRLP EchoLink box, it's a computer, 20 years old I guess, donated to my repeater system. There's two of them. I call them box 3 and box 4. They run the IRLP and EchoLink system and do all the linking around here. Would you believe that I powered up the one that was on as a spare yesterday and it didn't come up. It wouldn't reboot, the power supply just shuts down. So I did a lot of troubleshooting, got the box tore apart. I think it's the power supply, so I ordered a new power supply. I think it was about $40. So we'll see if I can replace it on the motherboard and all the connectors inside and see if I can get it out on a 20 year old machine. But I got a lot of software in there. I keep all the remote base links and everything. I keep all that stuff the same in both box 3 and box 4. And only one is on the line at once running our IRLP and EchoLink system. And so if that goes down and I don't have a spare, we won't be able to get back into the repeater. So I'm trying to get that repaired. And in the middle of all this, you know, still trying to live life. And then my lower front tooth veneer popped off all of its flossing last night going to bed. So got to see a dentist, I caught it. It didn't go down my gullet and it didn't land on the floor. So I got it. We'll see if they can glue it back on. Anyway, life goes on, or at least we try to go on with life. So back to the net there. JC7GH. Good to hear everybody.
