for that kind of stuff so thumbs up on that. Back in business, hit the road. Alright, Tim, just a little stop matter. Hello and good morning, KI-7, ZI. Hello, good morning, yes. I think some people were waking up a little late this morning because we're used to having bright sunshine to help wake us up and we got cloudy sunshine today or pretty much overcast. Today the sun is going to break through here pretty soon though. I'm in Shoreline. Yesterday I drove down to South Center. I was a little short on battery range on my EV here and I figured I could make it back up to Shoreline but I didn't want to take a chance because I would have been just a couple of miles of success. So I found a place to charge down there. So far I've been getting all my charging for free at the Shoreline City Hall, which is a significant amount. I figured over $400 I'd save by not having to pay for any charging anywhere. But I went to a charge point. I think it's charge point is the name of the place. I thought it signed up for an account but apparently I hadn't completed signing up. Anyway, to make a long story short, it took me an hour and a half to get the account thing straightened out. And it turns out apparently when I initially started the account that there's far down in one of the application pages, this is on my smartphone, not so smartphone because it's free as a PC and I can see a lot more what's on the screen. But you're supposed to select a country and the default should be United States since we're here in the United States, the company is located in the United States. But it turns out the default is like Spain or something. So my account was accidentally, inadvertently by operator error in a poor user interface room. The company's standpoint defaulted to Spain. Anyway, it took me an hour and a half to get that all straightened out and to get some charge in my car. So it was reasonably priced. It was $4.50. It took me about 110 miles of range. So I'm left with a close by gasoline. And by the way, that was a City of Seattle site. So it's only 21 cents a kilowatt hour, which is the standard residential rate. So pretty good. Nice to know where the cheaper charging stations are. Anyway, back up here in Shoreline, I will charge my car up for tonight. And other than that, yes, I'll get the picnic. In fact, I'll be there early for setting up, bringing donuts. Hope everyone has a good day meanwhile. KI7ZEI.
