I forgot to answer your questions. I have travelled with HTs before, overseas and around Canada. And I never really talked to anybody when I was in Alberta and BC years ago. When I was down in the States, in Houston, many, many years ago, I didn't have, well, when I was down in the States, I didn't have my license yet. But when I was around Canada, I always travelled with HTs. I never really got anybody on the air. I guess repeaters, you know, were relatively dead in the early mid 2000s, locally like they are now. In regard to your second question, I wouldn't be able to do it myself. I have no problem eating chickens and beef and, you know, fish and things like that. I don't want to kill it myself. I don't. I don't think I'd be able to do it. I've seen it and I've been rosed out by a chicken being done. A buddy of mine used to eat chickens and I saw him do it one day. He just grabbed it by the back of the neck and hit it with an axe and the head went flying. And I ate that chicken. We did. We had a number. And I had no problem with it, but because I know it has to be done in order to eat, I mean, it's the food chain. It's just how it works. And I wouldn't be able to be satisfied being a vegetarian. I just had to eat vegetables, had a meal. No, I wouldn't be able to be satisfied. There's got to be some kind of meat there. You know, you need your protein, in my opinion. You know, a lot of these vegans and stuff, you can tell, man, they're scrawny. Like real skinny, friggin' bony people. And I'd sort of have a bit of meat on my bones. You know, I'd like to drop a little bit of meat that I got here, you know, 40 pounds or so or 30. In fact, around 200. I'd be happy. But I'm around 2-4. I've been that way for almost two years now. I don't lose it. I don't gain it. I just stay right there. And I'm 5'10", so I mean, I got a bit of belly, you know. But my legs aren't fat, my face ain't fat, my neck ain't fat. My arms are not. It's just I got that gut. Even my waist size is not huge, but the belly kind of hangs out over the jeans. So, that's that. To me, Kevin, back to you. Well, I remember those two helpers later explaining to the other kids, not to me, about how they had a troubled chicken. And he said something like it was causing trouble and just tearing up the property, the farm. And I remembered him saying, I was finally glad when we put that sucker on the chopping block. I'll tell you what. I kind of remembered that. And now that you tell me, I forgot about the flocking around. I don't even remember if that happened. I saw the guy, the helper guy, coming in and wringing their necks out. And then he kept leaving and coming back. And it took a few minutes to do what he needed to. And he killed a great deal of them. But I don't remember that whole chicken with her head cut off thing. I always heard about it and thought that was kind of just strange. But I don't remember if I would have told you. But I don't, it just doesn't seem to register. I'm a lot older now, so I could probably, if I was there now, I could probably ask, you know, did you somehow tie them down? Did you hold them down with your massive body? These were some big guys, big dudes. Or what did you do? But it just didn't occur to me at ten. I just more saw that these guys seem to be seasoned and they're a casual addict. Yeah, and it did occur to me later. I was like, what the fuck? They're going to have them in a chicken burger or something. So it did occur to me later about something to that effect. Just crazy stuff though. So Peter, microphone over to you Peter.
