Yes indeed, this is Arthur, and happy 12th, happy 3rd day of Christmas. Yes. And so today was a good day. The sun was out, at least out enough sporadically that I and the family did a little bit of hiking. We went up the Indian John Trail on Cougar Mountain, which was a lot of fun. very, it's a, I guess I'd call it like a maple deciduous forest, beater trees here and there. But a relatively flat height for being on the, basically the top of Cougar Mountain on the south side of it. So that was a lot of fun. And then we went out to eat at 12th Avenue Cafe in Issaquah, which was the first time I had been there, but that was really good. It's one of those breakfast all day cafes, which, hey who doesn't like a good the biscuits and gravy at 2.30 in the afternoon. And then I came home, and on the boundary of what is getting mesh core signal and putting it temporarily in a clear gelato plastic jar up to the top of a 28 meter for a dipole. That gave me signal a few days ago until the batteries died, of course. What I did today is, I think I may need to raise it up higher. At the very top of that dipole, the problem is how to. K87NUI, K7WSD. Well, thanks for that report and your lovely adventure on that Indian John Trail. It must have been a beautiful day. I was just taking a walk around the top of Queen Anne and enjoying the sun and the dry weather was very pleasant. Yeah, good luck to you with these ideas for getting a mesh core antenna up there. Solar isn't very hard, you know. I have a solar node that you could crank up into a tree. Firing one of those five watt panels, it's pretty easy to build. Well, thank you. Oh, I like the gelato jar, gelato thing. That's a great idea. Well, very good. And I understand the draw of peanut butter cookies is even better than a two meter net somehow, if that isn't sacrilege to say. Let's see, I have no idea where I am. My notes are such a mess that I think I got through anybody, but let me know if I did. Time is getting off, but maybe there's some hangers on, wanna say hello, recheck, whatever. I'm here if you want me. Come ahead now, call sign a name.
