Yeah. Gary says, "what's you location". Shuttle says, "where just circling the moon".

Yeah, those into amateur radio seriously. You tend to see massive (very tall) poles (usually white) in their garden used for the aerial, taller than the house.

I use to ride horses and quads and I loved it, but I sold my quad some years ago as there was no where to ride it where I lived and the place I use to live the guy next door had horses. I moved away so I can't do that anymore, I miss both a lot. Now I code and help who I can I do enjoy it so much but due to problems that many know about I can't even do that well at least I can help a bit with some helpful answers to some posts.
