Alright folks, just just let me know, they're going to have to do some more salt cutting, some milk. Do you mind if we we got if we hold off just a few more minutes for you and you go, okay, so we're going to pause for just

00:41:52.980 - 00:46:52.360

another moment. So they're gonna cut a little bit more and then we'll be back up the proceedings. So this is supposed to be cut already. They have to use that 84 concrete for you on the landing strip

00:46:52.370 - 00:47:29.740

arrived. But uh but on the other hand, the ball now. There you go. Yeah, I remember that. Uh yeah, yeah, sure. While going after uh this is uh policy was sold for just a classic here. All right. And uh here's what happened. Yeah, I remember now

00:47:29.750 - 00:48:08.610

you still have to deal with that. So we say, how do y'all Now? There's 520 people linked in. Okay, Okay. Mhm. Okay. Getting up there. You know what she was thinking? Yeah, Yeah. You know, it would be nice if these people watching uh there's got to

00:48:08.620 - 00:48:22.100

be a lot of them watching that we're here or distinctly remember it would be nice to see them comment. I remember. I remember like it was yesterday. I can't tell you what I had for breakfast money, but I remember, I know, I remember looking at that

00:48:22.110 - 00:48:50.770

date and going that will never, that'll never happen way exactly. Remember the manager, I don't remember his first name, but Sheldon Shel Sheldon, little tall, thin guy where we used to give that poor man's trouble. We used to climb the side of the building, remember? Yeah,

00:48:50.780 - 00:49:05.970

the uh the way they lay those bricks out like a ladder, remember we used to climb the side of that building and more manager would come out and just get all kinds of rattle when somebody and get killed. You know, I know. Then we go over

00:49:05.970 - 00:49:27.570

to very Queen and give that that owner of problem. Remember that. Very clean. Yeah, Jerry Waddell was his name from the deer park. Okay. I wonder if as they were putting this in the guys who are doing it, we're laughing thinking they're never going to get

00:49:27.570 - 00:49:45.720

this out of the ground. Well, I figured that so probably eight set concrete the same stuff they use on landing strips because it's written cutting out of there very well. You gotta remember to Nasa engineers that sealed that thing. Yeah. Jim And I'm following time. You

00:49:45.720 - 00:50:08.900

know, every engineer back then. You know, it's bigger than better and stronger. The better. There's a big okay. Yeah, somebody put on here, put a question or any news stations covering this. And as far as I know, there's not, there are some people news fixes here

00:50:08.910 - 00:50:46.070

and there's some people that maybe independence, that insult to the station. Yeah, Cool. But that are you all right? Everybody fish. That's like how did approximately, okay, exactly what I wanted Chris, no climbing the side of the building was just because it was there and we

00:50:46.070 - 00:51:04.810

could do it. You had to actually pay that about a quarter or something to get in on. It was 75 cents. I can't remember. I think it was like 75 cents. Remember on saturday night it was money well spent for my parents. Yeah, definitely. Mhm. I

00:51:05.750 - 00:51:26.100
