[0:36] 5.5, federal pay increase.
[0:57] I don't know.
[0:57] I don't know.

[1:07] Then we'll keep these two days open and see what happens.
[1:34] All right.
[1:34] Let's just see if we can see something here.
[1:35] Well, there's nothing here.
[1:35] Going forward, we can't be seen at half six, right?
[1:36] Got it.
[1:37] OK.
[1:43] I have a draft of one.
[2:02] I want to redo it now with the idea of the two-door thing and I'll have that over this morning.
[2:04] That would be a good thing to get settled today and get it set up so we'll have a good lot of schedule.

[3:21] Good.
[3:41] Well, one thing, if you want to take some time, try to take a little time to get us to say no, because there's going to be a lot of help coming in.
[3:44] And he's ready to talk to you, so that's something to keep in mind.
