Well, good afternoon Jack and everyone on the net. TNIBC Brooks here in Newcastle. Yes, the joys of home ownership, the unexpected things that happen to your home that you then need to get resolved Thursday evening or afternoon or whenever it was. Some vehicle drove by and took out the overhead wires that ran from the telephone pole over to the house, one of which being our internet connection. The other was an old phone line, but nonetheless, when you rip a tension cable off of the house, it does some damage to things on the house and anything in its way as the cable launches down the road and ends up in the neighbor's tree. So anyway, still without internet. I guess I had misunderstood the Xfinity agent, so I'm on a wait list for today, which I think is now expired, so they're not coming today. I'm on another wait list appointment for tomorrow, which at this point, two wait list appointments where I've got non-contact, I'm not too optimistic about. So we are on the schedule for a Monday apparently at 2 to 4 p.m. and that's when they are going to come by with the bucket truck and run a new line from the telephone pole over to the house. And hopefully, I get them to take down some of the old lines that are not doing anything while they're up there. And then there's just one line, one single line running over to the house. So we'll see how that goes. But yeah, so right now, I'm running off of, I have been running off of hot spots, but I did get out the new Starlink. The Starlink Mini is sitting on top of the truck, on the bed cover of the truck, plugged into the EcoFlow, which is inside the truck, which is the exact setup I plan to use for camping. So this is a good test case scenario. We're going to plan on running Zoom off of there. If that doesn't work, I'll jump back over to my phone hotspot, which I know works just fine. But yeah, that'll allow some Zoom meetings from campsites, which could be kind of fun in the future. Oh, there's Megan calling me. Anyway, with that, let's see, looking forward to the educational meeting coming up here in a little over half an hour. And then just kind of do some stuff around the house here today, getting some stuff cleaned up, doing some organizing out in the garage. And then finally get over and spend some time on that mill because I've had a lot of other things come up that have prevented me from playing with my new equipment because it's essentially play equipment. So anyway, that's what I got for now. Thanks for doing the NetJax 730 K9 BBC.
