[0:25] Well, he's going to walk up to the crow, and he's going to, you know, he's the most hard-wired carpenter we've got. [0:28] Okay, so he's going to walk up to the crow, and he's going to walk up to the crow, [0:35] Not really a problem at all. [0:51] It was a very good deal. [0:52] It was a hell of a problem actually. [2:29] Very good. [2:38] Let me ask you to take over. [2:39] Yes, ma'am. [2:39] Okay. [2:39] Well, I'm thinking about some other things. [2:40] Okay. [2:46] Henry, I'm working, you know, Ray Price is the wizard who's working this morning trying to get this Vietnam section because I've got to beat that up because of this thing. [3:01] And I'd like for him to come over and talk to you about it now. [3:02] He's got the, are you free now? [3:04] What I don't understand is, well, I'll set it over at the, fine, okay, fine, if you work on that. [3:25] I already put this in pretty strong terms, in terms of, you know, that we're not going to use that. [3:27] So I'll throw it off on how it's going to be. [3:28] But I think the important thing is we've got to, either we don't have a soft record, we can't let that set in. [3:31] But anyway, we'll take a look at it. [3:53] I did work on it a while without it, too. [3:54] But, you know, it's fine. [3:54] Let's do it. [3:55] We'll wait and see what we can come up with. [3:56] Bye. [3:56] Probably won't lock it. [3:56] We're not allowed to. [4:10] I don't think you can break the balance of the monoclonal thread. [4:16] The monoclonal reflex, yeah, of course. [4:45] What do you mean? [5:03] She's got it all in there, baby. [5:03] Let me just go over it. [5:04] I can't help but worry. [5:04] Watch my head line. [5:05] That's the right tummy here. [5:12] it's about the right plan [5:37] I had thought, on page 7, that we could put a little bit more on it. [5:44] You know, a little bit more on it. [5:51] uh... uh... [6:22] I have not made. [6:45] I can't say I've not done that, but I have not made promises. [6:46] I have not. [6:46] I have not made promises. [6:47] I really haven't. [6:48] You see, I think just leave that out just a little bit. [7:10] There is no problem. [7:11] The other thing is, when you talk about bureaucratic meddling, I believe not. [7:12] I believe not, but that's a good law. [7:13] But I don't think so. [7:15] One line that I find, there is a cross, which is the end of the line. [7:38] It's at the top of the line. [7:38] And that is at 33% of the average rate. [7:39] And it goes over 50% of the average rate. [7:40] So I'm going to flip it back then. [7:41] And we must not let this happen. [7:41] I don't want people to put it on the board today. [7:42] That's all I have. [7:43] But this is the most important thing. [7:54] This is the whole thing, the whole set of directions that we need to get to. [7:56] We're going to have to do it. [7:57] We're going to have to do it. [7:57] We're going to have to do it. [8:00] But please, we ask that you help us out with our work. [8:16] We encourage you to do so. [8:17] This is why, throughout this entire year, I think you and I will be just as proud to know that most of the work we do is so much for you. [8:19] And I should mention that we're proud and proud of you. [8:20] We're proud of who you are. [8:30] and provides two-stage power to be able to deal with a lot of things. [8:51] If you look at the children, they can go to that place in about a week's time. [8:52] That is, every day they should be able to do it. [8:53] Now, what two is that they should be able to do? [8:54] They have to be able to do two power. [8:55] They have to be able to do it. [8:56] These micro-bodies that are already in the system have to be able to do a lot of things. [8:58] They have to be able to do a lot of things. [8:58] They have to be able to do a lot of things. [8:59] And this can go on very, very, very long. [9:01] It's quite a day of trial and error. [9:31] We'll be right back.
