Got it. Well, I'm looking forward to seeing what sort of fun things what sort of inspiration both Jane and Shelley get from the quilting show and also what kind of fun tools they get new sewing Notions what sort of notions you get tools treats? Gadgets they can't live without, but most of all, I'm looking forward to, yes, the inspiration that they get from this. That's fun. Well, you two mobile states out there, 7-3 and 88Q both, and 33Q, Jane, 33Jane. Next on the list is Emily from Portland, Oregon. Emily, it's so good to hear from you. So again, how's your family, W7AYQ, KK7IJZ? Well, good morning, everyone. Emily here, W7AYQ, down in rainy Portland. It looks like the sun might be trying to peek a little bit through. I've been actually out of town for quite some time. I was in California with the kids until yesterday for my grandfather's 95th birthday and the kids went down with me for we had a sort of big family family party we did some touristy things went to the beach which was just fantastic the kids love love the Southern California Beach I can't blame them it's there's it was just lovely the beaches here in the northwest are not quite as inviting. I mean, they're good, but when it's 75 degrees sunny and the water isn't freezing cold, it's just something else. We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, the kids love that. And yeah, it was good to spend some time with my grandfather. He's doing fine. He's crotchety and grumpy, but absolutely still plugging along at 95. Doing the things that he loves, golfing, sailing. I hope I'm that healthy being active when I'm 95. What else to report? Yeah, we're doing fine. I have recently set up an all-star node with a Raspberry Pi, but unfortunately I'm not on it right now because I can't get the radio input out to work. I got the all-star part of it, the internet connection part of it to work, not the radio part, so I've got some debugging to do right now. So right now I'm just on my computer, there's a Mac app called Transceive and it's wonderful for All Star. It's one of those things where you just type in your call sign and it just works, trademark. And as a Mac user, I'm very, very pleased when things just work. Yeah, not much else to report. It's good to be back with you all. I'm trying to make a point of being moron, being a moron. Being more present on some of the things that I used to be on more, like these nets. It's a very nice way to start the morning. Let me reset for a second. Other than that, I don't really have much else to say. I'm just really enjoying listening to everybody's updates, everybody's familiar voices. I will say 73 to you all, all the numbers, 33, Rebecca, it's really good to hear you, glad you're doing the net this morning. I hope everyone has a terrific day, stay safe and stay compassionate and don't do anything I wouldn't do. This is W7AYQ. Back to Nick. off well I'm glad that you and the kids had fun in California getting your little tippy toes in the sand I mean I love a rocky beach I don't swim so I don't care about the water but uh yeah I do love Pacific Northwest Beach but yeah yeah I'm glad that y'all got sandy beach and be in the water and be with your family and yes, you know, if crotchety is the norm, I'm glad that your grandfather is crotchety and playing golf and sailing and all of the things. That's wonderful and yeah, that's awesome. Thank you so much for your report and I look forward to hearing from you again. I've started hosting Tuesday and Thursday morning nets on PSRG, so yeah, I hope to hear from you again. Welcome back to Rainy Portland. It's Rainy up here, and I'm in Tacoma right now.
