Hi.
Hello.
I'm going to send the rain up here.
Is it raining there?
No.
Sun's out.
Oh.
Actually, well, it was raining, so we were going to come back.
And I was wondering if you had the time.
I don't know, but if it's clear, you may be going to play tennis or something.
No, no.
I smashed my finger in my garage door, so I can't.
Oh, boy.
Well, I thought that it would be very useful if I could talk to you a little about helping some of that reconstruction.
You know, I have a bunch.
About 415?
Sure.
He'll be good.
He'll be?
Okay, good.
Wait a minute.
Yeah, that's best.
That's best because I can get in there easily.
Bye.
Okay.
Or do you think the Lincoln Room is better?
It's more secure if you want to.
Let's go to the Lincoln Room.
Okay.
Keep the timeline.
Lincoln Room.
All right.
