lost weekends for transportation here in August. I guess it's like in Europe, you know, where everybody just takes a month off and goes on vacation. So I found a, it was a breeze going from downtown out of here through the express lane. And they're not really widely known, they don't put signs anywhere that say, you know, this way, in this direction because it is only part of the day usually. So, but here on, in fact I got from Capitol Hill, I went down Boren, and I just, or James, that's what it was. So right of 8, it goes right underneath the convention center and I made a right at hike. And I left right on the express lane. There's another entrance on Mercer off of any term left on the Stewart and it goes on to the express lane. And they're going to be open all the time now during the two lane closure for the whole month. And the other one is at Mercer going eastbound. So you can get on the express lane there and it's just a snap from Pike to just get on the freeway right there. So, yeah, that's quick and the rest of it was all sitting still. This is supposedly a ten minute delay going northbound on 5, I don't think so. This ten minutes will feel like a couple hours. So, stopping goes no way to drive. KJ7VU and Lake Jalan is, go to Manson and check out the Fourth of July fireworks there. It's nice to hear them echo into the mountain valleys and stuff and reverb and come back. Kind of cool and unique place there. KJ7VU, have a good night everybody. Alright, thanks for sharing that. Yeah, there are definitely some ways to make sure you can get around the northbound closures there at the express lanes. And I know the big issue I guess is the full weekend closures there. But the express lanes will be open and of course southbound is still open. But make sure you look at what's going on before you come on over. And, yeah, it's one of the things about having a city where it's both based on bridges and entirely based on, almost entirely based on car automobile transportation. Seems like, minute, when the bridge is 60 years old, might be good to get that work done. So, I tell you, you have a great service here. Alright, we have NIO from KK7CSG. This is Paul, K7PJP with your 9 o'clock net. We're looking for more stations. Call, find a name.
