[0:27] I don't see it. [0:27] I don't see it. [0:27] I don't see it. [0:28] I don't see it. [0:28] I don't see it. [0:28] I don't see it. [0:29] I don't see it. [0:29] I don't see it. [0:32] I love the, uh, dropout. [0:40] No, no projections, that's for sure. [0:41] They hope it, they think it's gonna break any time. [0:48] You never know. [0:49] It's starting to clear. [0:52] And it does. [0:53] All hell breaks loose for it every time you do it. [0:58] That's big. [0:59] Wow. [0:59] You can't do any of the other things until you've done everything. [1:07] But the main thing is that I want you to go forward and go on that high path and then we'll recruit everyone. [1:16] One couple is never enough to be useful. [1:22] The weather there is all right. [1:23] Yeah. [1:23] There's nothing else fitting that to be useful. [1:28] I know. [1:30] Yeah. [1:34] I agree. [1:35] I agree. [1:40] But if we're going to be stuck in there too long, we can't be, you know, we can't be stuck in the mud all the time. [1:53] Because otherwise, you know, we can't be stuck in the mud all the time. [1:56] That'll raise all the help that we'll have to do in the rest of the summer for the weather. [2:11] You sent me a little note on the, uh, uh, the river. [2:12] I forgot what the name of it was. [2:13] I don't know what it was called. [2:14] Yeah. [2:41] Well, on the other hand, well, I'm not concentrating on the B-3. [3:02] That's over. [3:05] Could we just tell them more or do you have a practice call again to give a massive strike to the D-3 out here for the next 24 hours? [3:25] Can you do that? [3:26] You know how to do that, right? [3:26] That's fine, we'll have some contact with them. [3:27] 50 trees should be in the center. [3:28] Now what about 50 trees above? [3:31] But, I mean, the 52s. [3:42] Tell me about the 52s. [3:44] Yeah, I know. [3:44] But use the 52s the other place, too. [3:45] You've given authority to use it above the DMC, haven't you? [3:49] All right. [3:50] All right. [3:50] All right. [3:54] Right. [3:54] And, uh, but they haven't talked to me yet. [3:58] Oh, yeah, they haven't. [3:58] I see. [3:58] I see. [3:58] All right. [3:59] They've got all the authority they need. [4:12] And, uh, more, I don't know, because of that story. [4:15] They are. [4:15] Okay. [4:16] Just pray for the, pray for the goddamn, the weatherman, okay?
