Good evening Brian and everyone on the net. K9 BDC, Brooks here in Newcastle. Yes, please put Megan down, K9 MLR with an I.O. She is going to be getting ready for bed here in a few minutes. Oh man, it was a busy weekend. Good weekend. We went down to Olympus Rally, which was yesterday. But we went down Friday after work. We dropped the dogs off with N7 WAA. And he watched them for the weekend, him and Laura, Brian and Laura, that is. And then we went down, no sorry, we went down Saturday morning, early, early Saturday morning. We got up at like 5 in the morning. We had a rendezvous at 730 down in Shelton. And then we were on a stage called Dirty Cowbell. And that was stage one and stage three. So it ran twice with another stage in between. And we were start hams for the event. It was a lot of fun. And the first go around, we had some commotion. We had, I think, out of the 44 cars, I think, five of them didn't finish, which for one stage, I would say, is higher than average, from my experience anyway. But then there were some hunters out there that had kind of caused a little bit of an issue. Apparently, they had gotten out early in the morning before we had set up and didn't read their emails about the fact that the race was going on and then wanted to exit on the road that the race was taking place on. But yeah, we weren't letting them do that because obviously there were race cars going. So that was kind of a commotion, the first running. And then the second running, Megan was on the radio. And we got a weird SOS call. Apparently, a van had been out. Some people had been out picking mushrooms or something. And they drove on to the race course. And the race cars came up on them. And we ended up having to stop the race there. But for a while, we didn't really know what was going on. So we set the ambulance down. And oh, it was a little chaotic there for a bit. But no one was hurt. There was a car that flipped over. That car was pretty crunched up. But the people inside were OK. We talked to them. Other than that, I was even a little sore. It sounded like they were doing all right. But it was a fun weekend. We stayed down there yesterday and had some breakfast this morning with our rally friends before heading back up north here. So let's see. I'm going to drop for a second.
