Well, hello Jack and everybody, WW7KN, Ken here in Newport. Well, I was going to say good morning but it is the afternoon but it's hard to tell the difference. I don't think it's still probably 27 degrees here, got down to 24 most of the night here, it is still freezing cold, the clouds are still hanging overhead, we've got snow in in Coeur d'Alene this morning. A very light dusting. Thanksgiving is coming up. We're supposed to have a pretty good snowstorm tonight and or tomorrow and we're supposed to go to Thanksgiving on top of a very high mountain. Friends live off the grid. It's quite a drive up the side of the mountain to their house and they're expecting quite a few people and If they get five or six inches, that could really be a disaster for people trying to get up to their house. So we may hold Thanksgiving here as an alternative at our home. Everyone then can head over here. It's a few miles more to travel, but at least we can get here. We're at 2,400 feet here where we're at, but I think they're up at almost 3,000, 3,500. So we will see what happens on Thanksgiving. We'll see what happens with the weather. They're predicting snow tonight and tomorrow. And yeah, Coeur d'Alene, they said, could get seven inches. We'll see what happens. You never know with the weather. So yep, plans are still moving forward for Thanksgiving. Jason came over here, and with his dog, Dakota, we're going to take apart the antenna that we took off of the top of Little Blacktail off our repeater site to see what might be going on with that antenna inside. It had quite a bow to it. So you never know, it could be corrosion, it could be fine, we just want to do a little investigation, something to take apart here. It's too cold to work in the garage so I'm going to be working in the living room where it's nice and warm. But everyone, you have a great Thanksgiving, 73's and everything and best wishes from Newport here. This is WW7KN and KK7RGB, Pam and Molly the dog, you all have a great holiday. 43 months again, back to the NetJack, WW7KN.
