Well, I first have to say that since you've been talking about some rain, is that like a standard issue thing when you go to your location as an umbrella? Is that a standard issue? I could say that New Mexico standard issue is sunglasses. Maybe aviators just like Top Gun with the mirror on the front so you can look at, reflect back in their face when they're looking at you. But yeah, I'll tell you a story before I plug in the net. So yesterday, and you're going to really love this going to be right up your alley. You're going to know what's going on with this. I ended up buying those wireless plugs that you can turn on and off with your phone. I needed to get some so I could actually set up my YSF reflector with all the three different Raspberry Pi. So if somebody said there's a problem with it, I can actually get, even if I'm at work, turn it off, turn it back on. It should boot right back into its normal state and start interconnecting. Well, in the process of getting those little devices to talk and all that stuff, my reflector went out all together. I was like, whoa, what's going on here? So I actually had to troubleshoot. That was like thinking a Raspberry Pi was better or a corrupted flash, a flash card or an SD card or a cable thing or maybe the or maybe the power supply went out, wasn't feeding enough juice to the Raspberry Pi, because you know how finicky those can be. And after six hours, I was like, it's getting late, too. I had to get ready to go to work again. It's getting late. I'm like, what is going on here? And I'm like, swearing up and down, going, here we go. Cough up more money, get a reflector going in there. And here I am sweating, because the reflector comes in like four days. And I'm like, am I going to get this thing up and running? Anyway, so ultimately, I took a dive into the modem. And I found out that the IP addresses that I had statically set up in the Raspberry Pis got dedicated to those little dongle devices, the little plugs that were plugged into the wall. And that's why if they wouldn't come back, the modem locked it in. So I had to delete those. And then finally, the reflector came up, but that didn't happen. which would have happened before I actually reflashed the card. So I had to reset up some certain things last night and get them all up and running. We're back up and running. Woo, cross our fingers. Let me go ahead and break here, and I'll continue my story.
