Hello Joan, well thank you. Yeah, at the beginning of your net there your audio is a little off but you're sounding pristine as usual now. I ran the end of the year expense reports. Last year expense reports almost killed me because I had put it off until the end of the year and I had envelopes and envelopes full of receipts. I went on a vacation to visit some folks back in Virginia near Washington DC. And I really spoiled about three days of the trip because I was just up late trying to sort all this stuff out and do the spreadsheets and it was terrible. So this year I got a little bit earlier start and I'm just getting done now. I thought I was done and then I found a couple of receipts that I really need to organize my receipts. Anyway, I'm almost done and I'm feeling much, much, much more relaxed than I was this time last year. Daylight savings time. daylight savings time. I deal with a company in China. China, I don't know, they've got I think like five time zones with the country. It's a big place but they all operate under one time zone. Everyone in the country has got the same time and they don't mess around with daylight savings time stuff. So simpler life I would say. It does get confusing when the company has online meetings, you know, team meetings or whatever with the Netherlands and, you know, the U.S., and it doesn't help that, for example, the Netherlands, Europe and the U.S. have their daylight saving time on different dates, starting and ending, so just to confuse the world. Maybe if the whole world had one time zone, hmm, maybe, I guess not. Anyway, back to you, John. Everyone have a wonderful day, and maybe the sun will come out even again tomorrow. Who knows? It's warming up a little bit. KI-7 CEI. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November, Quebec, November. The world does have one time zone if you're doing international things like commerce and radio, radio, international radio operations. It's called UTC or Greenwich Mean Time. Anyway, yeah, thanks. And the U.S. also covers five or six time zones depending on what you count. American Samoa, Hawaii, and you have Atlantic time and the Maritimes, you know, just a tippy tip. I mean, there's Eastern Standard Time and Central Time, and then you skip Mountain Time and go to Pacific time and that covers 99% of the population in the U.S. But then if you get to the fringes, going eastward you get Atlantic time, which is basically the Maritimes, but I think it's Maine, it's the edge of Maine or something in Atlantic time, and then there's the American Virgin Islands, yeah. So if you come to all the U.S. including all of our territories, then yeah, the U.S. covers seven or eight time zones, nine time zones, yeah, but there you go. I think just like 24 time is easier than double 12 hour time, I think UTC is the easiest time zone in the world. Anyway, it never changes. Why do we have to muck it up? Well, but June, it's different time. Daytime is different in sale than it is in Britain. I can see that. I can see that's what the medical time is. But if you want trains to be on schedule, international flights. People get paid $200,000 a year to sort out just the time differences of flights. All right, let's go right along. Move it along, Joan. Peter, K-E-6-R-A-X. I didn't write down whether you're in and out or not. Often you are, but you can either ignore me or come back and say you're in and out or on the spur of the moment you decide to give us a report, but I'm going to call on you for clarification.
