Yeah, I'm looking forward to the pictures we do something similar to that down here in mineral walls We have a downtown they decorated every year put stuff on the light poles downtown old buildings Yeah on the 11th this year my wife and I are taking the green kids for their first time to one of our favorite things Over in Palapeno, which is the the county seat the center of our County if you are sort of count the courthouse is I don't know if I ever mentioned it, but Texas has a rule that the courthouses in the county of Texas has to be, I think it said five miles within the center, geographical center of the county. So although the town I live in is the biggest town by far in this county, it is not the center of the county, therefore it's not the county seat. Anyhow, so Palo Pinto is a little bitty one-horse town. It probably has five people in the whole darn town, plus a courthouse, and then all the county offices. They do, and it's old, it used to be called La Conda back in the old days, early 18, I think it was the 1870s-ish or so before it was really even a big, big town or anything. Anyhow, they changed the name to Palo Pinto, they were way back then, and we used to have an old jail and old log cabins and all this old 1880s, 1890s stuff and now they have it all in this nice cool little square and so on December 11th and they do this every year they have old-fashioned Christmas you'll see everybody getting dressed up in the old-fashioned clothing from that era you'll see horses and and cowboys and I mean this it's Texas Christmas in the 1880s I guess is that an accurate way to portray it baby they have I mean you'll have storytellers you'll have people making old-fashioned Christmas treats you can buy a few knick-knacks. I mean it really is something, but it doesn't take long. You know you can see the whole thing in about three hours or so, two or three hours. You can take a, you take an old-fashioned carriage ride to an old church with no power and they have like an ongoing prayer service and it's all dicked out in Christmas stuff. So I don't know if I've vividly described it enough, but it is really Danielle and my favorite local thing to do for Christmas. Okay, Mr. George, and I'm sorry I offended you with my preamble. I will work on that next week so the preamble isn't offensive. Moving down to Mr. Bill, November 9, O.F.U. Good morning, sir. Let's pass it to you. Hello, thank you, Josh. Steve is out there, N0VF, so I don't know if you want to get him on the list there, but he's in the chat box. or the, yeah, he's on the chat box saying good morning. So good morning, Steve. And they got my heater fixed yesterday, but I took the day off to do laundry and a few other things, so the truck didn't get run much, and then last night, in the middle of the night, the heater shut down down because it runs on electricity. So I woke up, it was chilly. It was 35 degrees outside so I ended up running the truck for a little bit. I had to get up every seven minutes to push the button to keep the truck from shutting off but then after that the the heater got going again. There was enough juice to get it started again in the whatever. Sorry, I'm trying to move things around here in the truck so I can go hook up to my trailer and get moving here. Because 34 is over. It's time to get back to work. So I did that. I went out and bought a shirt from Kohl's. Because I'm not training right now, I'm being a little baby. I'm not going to wear my training shirts. So I had to find a couple other shirts in the truck. But I went out and bought one more, just to get me through the week. And then if everything goes well, I'll be back to training next time I go out, and I'll be all set. So doing that, did that, had a nice meal yesterday. I went to Chili's and then returned some stuff at Walmart that I had to return. And came back to the yard, did laundry, did a shower. That pretty much took up my whole day. I didn't get quite as much done as I wanted to, but I got a lot done, good enough done. But I still got some more to do, and I'll get that done over the next few days. But I kept saying that last week. Never got done. I'm going to do it, damn it. All right. Go ahead and keep it on the list, but I'll pass it back to you for now.
