Yeah, in fact, when I have my next birthday in August, I'll change it to 65. You know, I was always sort of interested in amateur radio and kind of gotten away from it and my self-proclaimed Elmer at where I work at here in Houston, the Houston area, we were chatting about that and he says, well, hey, there's no code anymore. What's your excuse? And I started thinking, well, I don't have an excuse. So I passed the technician test and somebody told me, well, as long as you're in the learning mode, go for your general. Well, three months later I had my general and then two months after that I had my extra. And so I don't like to tell people I have a lot of book learning and next to no practical experience. So every time I get on the radio, either through digital modes or picking up and participating in a net, it's all a new experience for me. I've been I've been having a ball this past year only to my wife's chagrin I'm sure it takes a lot of time away from that so anyway
