Hey, thanks so much for that Jeff and much appreciated your concern. You know it seems like the Northwest, this has been a little more extreme than some, but not as bad as some others I guess. Depends on where you are. But you know every fall we have one of these serious events occur and so this just happens to be the one. But yeah we have had a bunch of problems here in Oregon as well as Washington. I have been following it all on the news of course and listening to the radio and trying to get as much information as I can. Where I am we are fine, but yeah other parts of the state have definitely gotten hammered. So I am wishing all our friends well and we have some people that live in some flood plain areas and that kind of thing that so far have been okay. So let's hope it stays that way and things will recede and things will be alright. There you go. Well I will say 73's thanks for coming by and saying hi and yeah like I say we are looking forward to a trip out to South Carolina come whatever it is March I guess. So there you go. Still have to make our reservations though. You have got to get that one done. Anyhow I will quit babbling. 73's have a wonderful afternoon and we will catch you later. And let's go see what KB8BMX is that correct? Come ahead please. Yeah good morning Dave no traffic handling for you. It is Kilo Bravo 8, Bravo Mike Yankee KB8BMY. I am awake and we are in Tacoma. It is sunny right now. I am in Madison Terminal and just when I checked in I was looking for a can and we found it and so we have got to hook that up. Like I said it is sunny here so hopefully it will kind of warm up a little bit. We just had power flick on and off momentarily about one in the morning when I was awake. I woke up and just kind of went to check things out and everything was fine. So we didn't lose power. At work we did. I got in about 6, 6.30 this morning and it was like pitch dark. So it was like the real version of the big dark. I collect flashlights like my wife collects purses. So I got a lot of flashlights. I have this one that is like this big floodlight that you can carry. Actually I have about 3 or 4 of them. I brought one of those and that kind of lit some stuff up. They lost power there. Let's see what else is out there. I think Target was out of power. The other side of Target or Home Depot warehouse they had power. So it is intermittent. It is intermittent and so it is that type of thing. Okay so we are just going to hook this can and then we are going to run back to Lacey. Let me do this and make sure it is still in there. There we go. We don't want to hear that beep. Yeah because things are kind of on and off today. So it is probably going to be a short day because they can't do anything back at the yard. We can run the trucks but that is about it. So when I get back I don't know how much or how little freight we are going to have. Let's see what else. Oh we have been playing around with Meshcore. It is a lot of fun. We are looking forward to that presentation on the 10th. It is going to fill in a lot of blanks for us. But it is kind of fun. I actually had it in the truck yesterday and I was picking up some meshcore repeaters up here in Tacoma. But then I figured I would just leave it at the house because it is going to mess up routing I think if I send a message and I am not in the same route for the reply message. But anyway real impressive stuff. A lot of fun. We have three more coming this week. Actually I think they will be here tomorrow. And gain antennas. 10 dB gain antennas on those. So that would be a lot of fun. Anyway Dave I will pass it back to you. 7-3. Everyone have a good morning. Stay safe. And 7-3 from Port of Tacoma here. KBA Teamway. Hey, hey great to hear from you this morning and hopefully you will get everything loaded up there and on your way. So there you go. Yeah it is interesting watching the outage maps and all that stuff. Portland had 100,000 people out of power. So yeah my wife's boss lost his internet. So it is kind of like okay. Yeah well try and put things back together here slowly. It will all come back. There you go. Well 7-3 is mobile safe out there and we will catch you later. This is Kilo Delta 7 Papa Whiskey Bravo Dave the High Desert Pirate Radio. And hey I think I am going to do the news from the high desert really quick here. Real quick. Just so I can get things moving along again. And so let's see as you know this net meets every day on the computer at 9am noon and 9pm and the next one coming up of course is Jack's Noon or so don't be a stranger. Go out and say hi and talk to your friends on the PSRG repeater. And all this information I am giving you is available on the PSRG.org website. So go out and check it out. There is all kinds of good information about the club and its members and all kinds of good stuff. So yeah go check it out. Don't forget the Zoom EQ tonight at 630. Don't forget that the Simplex net is on 146.56 every Saturday night at 8pm. So go check that one out. That sounds like lots of fun. And the Radio Club at Tacoma every Saturday has an open house from 10 to 2. So if you want to get an eyeball with a bunch of friends and see what's going on down there go to the Radio Club at Tacoma website and check that one out. Let me let it drop for just a second. I got a few more announcements and we will get things rolling again.
