[0:07] Hi, John, how are you?
[0:11] I mean, let's get one little photograph sort of standing here, chatting about the bill.
[0:21] If we're going to be involved, we're going to have to have some of this information.
[0:28] You've got so many trees.
[0:30] Why don't you give some to him?
[0:32] We're going to have to do that.
[0:37] I guess that's what I want to do with this.
[0:40] Well, that's very good.
[0:43] And speaking of trees, I'm going to give you one.
[0:46] Oh, this one.
[0:47] Oh, wow.
[0:47] This is from the gym center out there.
[0:53] I'll give you the present state.
[0:55] That's where we're going to have a dance party.
[0:58] We're going to have a dance party over there.
[1:02] We're going to have a dance party over there.
[1:07] I'll take and have a picture taken with Pat.
[1:09] If you have a chance to visit with Tom or Tammy, if you'd like.
[1:15] But I thought you might like to give this to her, because this is an original.
[1:21] Yes.
[1:22] She's out.
[1:23] Oh, really?
[1:24] Yeah, she's out.
[1:25] She's going to the 100th anniversary of Yellowstone.
[1:28] No, Chicago is going to the 100th anniversary of Yellowstone tomorrow.
[1:31] The next day.
[1:32] I'll give it to her when she comes back.
[1:34] Well, now let's have the signing ceremony.
[2:13] that go down in the archives.
[2:14] It's a great thing.
[2:16] It's a great thing.
[2:44] There's a little redwood out there, and we planted a redwood in China while we were there.
[2:52] Oh, really?
[2:53] We planted one.
[2:54] At 11, we planted it in China in the, what was the town, you know, second stop?
[3:03] San Jose.
[3:04] San Jose.
[3:04] San Jose.
[3:12] And it's Hang Chow, H-A-N-G, H-O-W.
[3:14] It's Hong Chow.
[3:15] They say it's Hong Chow, Hong Chow.
[3:18] If you say Hang Chow, that's what it is.
[3:20] But Hang Chow, in that beautiful park where they have these, oh, all sorts of lovely trees and so forth and workers, we planted a squirrel.
[3:31] And Joe and I was there, and he didn't like the place.
[3:45] Get out.
[4:19] I'll get back to you.
[4:21] I know that.
[4:23] So I'm going to be delivering new pairs.
[4:25] Oh, I know it's not a new kind of car.
[4:28] I've been around.
[4:29] I'm going to be delivering new pairs.
[4:30] I know I have a case of it, and I know my road is going to go with that.
[4:36] But I'll tell you what it is.
[4:38] Be sure on the pairs lines you do that they come to you, and they're not going to have a fight.
[4:43] I'll handle it.
[4:44] You can bring them in, because otherwise it's a shame.
[5:18] I got some all bearing and things.
[5:22] There's a chance that
[5:47] I'll see you, sir.
[5:50] He's more ill than the old guy.
[5:53] We lost my chairman.
[6:14] All right.
[6:15] Let's go.
