Hello, Bill, and thank you for doing the net. Yeah, here in the Bay Area today, it was kind of sunny at about 62. In fact, as it says right now, it's 61 degrees outside here. I'm kind of surprised by that. I'm just watching football, the Green Bay and the Bears going at it. I like both teams, so I'm going on to a net after this net that's in Chicago, so I guess I'm kind of pulling for the bears. So let's see what happens. Yeah, I just got feeling really sore. I moved wrong or something, and took some, felt my back, and then I took some kratom for it, or kratom or kratom for it, and that helped stop me, so I ended up taking some Advil to kind of help get the last of the aches out. Man, it's hella getting old. See, the squirrels were running around happily, and they were happy with the peanuts and nuts I put out and saw Rocky running around there and I didn't have any, I had peanuts out there so he didn't come to the sliding glass door and look in at me until I'd bring him peanuts but he already had them so he was happy. So with that I'll turn it back to the net, everybody out there have a good evening, AB-6MB. AB-6MB, K7WSB, well thanks Jeff, yeah that back stuff, it is hella as you get old, just I went down to Santa Cruz last week I guess it was and just before that I had to replace an electrical outlet on our deck, one of those GFCI ones and itís not that hard to do but yeah, you canít do it when you get old. Working on a cold deck at about a foot off the ground, it fits hard on your back so I did myself in. I did not make that trip to Santa Cruz any easier. It was lovely seeing my family, but, ooh, I had trouble sort of, I had trouble tying my shoes is one problem. I'm feeling way better now. And it sounds like you're getting big, too. Thanks so much. OK, you're listening to the 9 p.m. PSRG SocialNet for, what is it, December 20th, the longest night of the year and the shortest day tomorrow. And we're all cheering because it's going to get longer. I actually have some bulbs coming up in my front door. Those little blue bells are coming up, and I think some focuses or something. It looks bigger than that. So as soon as I see those things emerging from the ground, I have hope usually. I don't see them until about the second week in January, so I'm not sure what's going on. You're listening to 9 p.m. SocialNet, and it is time for me to take a little few moments and review the upcoming events for the next little while. Next Saturday, the Radio Club in Tacoma hosts the usual open house from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. And next Saturday evening, as usual, the SimplexNet will be simplexing itself at 146.56 on your radio dial. That starts at 3 p.m. Tomorrow is the winter solstice, 7.03 a.m., so if you're up at 7.03 a.m., I guess, what is that, the sun lines up with the ecliptic, or, no, we line up with the, no, we're as far away from the ecliptic, anyway, it's one of them angles, one of those angles is at an extreme angle, I believe, 23 degrees, something like that. I bet you all know it's gonna be Christmas next week and New Year's, probably don't need to tell you that, but I do need to tell you that on Saturday, January 10th, we're having our next PSRG Educational Meeting at 1.30 p.m. on Zoom. You can find the Zoom link on the main page at the psrg.org. And the subject is Introduction to Mesh Corps, hosted by Madeleine KJ7, Amy W, and Amy KB9IQX, two more personable people you will never meet and two more talented technically you will never meet. So be there or be square. It's interesting. I'm having great fun with mesh.
