Yeah, I guess that's right. I don't know. I think you're right when you're starting out, that's for sure. I've been doing this since so long. I remember when I was 13 years old, I got my license, passed in the five word per minute test. Anyway, it was, it came easy to me, and I never really had to work that too hard. I just kind of, and I was always bored in school, so I would always just listen to that. I'd make up messages in my head, converting to Morse code. And then that kept me mentally busy there while they were trying to teach me something. Anyway, it worked pretty good that way. But I don't remember that much effort. So then, but now I copy. Actually, it's harder to copy slower speeds. It's better to copy 20 and faster, because then I hear the words. But it can be, there's times where I get a little bit of a blank in my head, so I have to just kind of quit trying and then all of a sudden I start hearing it. Yeah, that's true, that's a whole different skill is hearing it and that's the hardest skill for most people. And of course I just type on the computer right now. Although I have a bug at home, I really enjoy the bug. But my wrist is, I'm slowly getting arthritis. Anyway, it's a lot of fun. I'm going to...that's always going to be a big part of me. I suppose there will be a day when Morse code be like a buggy whip. Although there's some new people that it's a challenge to get into it. But most of the people I talk to are old like me in their 80s and fading away. And you're a BF. Well yeah, just like how there's people that's blessed with melody. And others don't know it, right? Others can only hope to play a few pieces from their teacher, right? like if you go to piano class or you go to guitar or whatever. Others can hope to just copy and play a few pieces. Others can create without being told. So yeah, I mean, that's always like that. That's like that all the time. I'm not one of the blessed ones, I can tell you that.
