Jack! How's it going? Mine's going pretty good. We got to the Amazon, one of the many Amazon warehouses. In fact, let me do this. I'm going to bring this window up a little bit. And I'm just having some homemade chili, which is really good. And I'm at a dock that's like in a really weird position. And I like that. I thought, I wonder if I can get into that thing. Sure enough, we did. So it's in there. I'm just going to have my chili, then I've got to go to the drop yard and pick up the empty they have for me. And yeah, I mentioned before, I think this morning, about mesh core. We're able to see stations. Me and Courtney are able to see nodes as far north as Canada, as Vancouver. So they're relaying through the network. And so I think that's really neat. That's quite a distance for a network to extend. And let's see, we've got the two nodes I already had. I was using a Meshtastic. I switched those over to Meshcore. We've got three more nodes coming. Those have internal batteries. You can put internal batteries in them or leave it out and just put backup, regular power on them. And they have 10 dB gain antennas for those. So one of them is going to be used as a repeater right away. And that I'll probably have plugged in by the house. And then another one I want to do is I want to have it a little distance from the house and so decide in which direction I want to go in and where we want to hide it. And how to put a solar panel to it and everything. So that's going to be a little bit more involved project. I'll have to talk to some people who have already done that. And it's funny. I said, let's put it up in a tree. And we can hide it up there. And Cordy says, how's it going to get any sun that's in the tree? And so we have some logistics to work out on that. But it's been a lot of fun. And it's just amazing what this mesh network can do. It's very impressive. So anyway, so we're doing that. And that's about it. Hope everyone's having a good afternoon. Oh, by the way, we didn't lose any power. It just flickered on and off about one or two in the morning. And that's about it. And there's little branches all over the place, but that's about it. So we did pretty well. So anyway, I'll pass it back to you, Jack. Everyone have a good afternoon. And 73 from one of the Amazon warehouses here in Kent. KVA, BM1.
