Hello, Jack. I'm looking at the sky and the weather radar and all that. And the clouds are, I don't see any blue spots yet, but I do see the clouds are thinning as they're coming from the west. So we might have a pretty nice day like we had yesterday, which actually was kind of awesome. I got a kind of a two-part report here. First, I'd like you to remind me what day was it that your tree trimming was done last week. The reason I'm asking is I'm trying to be scientific about determining when the wood is dry. So what I did on the first day was I cut off some sections, like probably six or eight-inch sections of some different limbs. One is about 3 and 1-1-2 inches in diameter, one of the larger ones. And there's one that's about an inch and a half and another about an inch. And I weighed them. I've got a scale that gives me one-gram resolution. And I'm recording the weight every couple of days and I'm going to determine when, with this way, scientifically be able to determine when the wood is seasoned enough and ready to burn. So you can remind me when the day was that the cut was made. And then the other piece of information I've got last week, I think it was Friday, that I gave a report on the weather balloons that this company Windborn, B-O-R-M-E, had developed where they can stay in the air for a couple or three weeks or longer. And they have a sandbag for ballast and they're controlled through satellite individually. And they can go up and down through the atmosphere and take a variety of readings over that long period of time. And like conventional weather balloons are only good for a few hours. So anyway, and they're launching like 300 of these things a day. And yesterday I see United Flight's cockpit window may have been struck by a weather balloon. Windborn, California startup focused on, said that one of its balloons likely hit an airplane. It was a United flight. It cracked the windshield and injured a pilot and forced an emergency landing. So I guess there is some risk to these things and demonstrated so clearly on this 737 that I had to try to get to Denver, Los Angeles and ended up landing in Utah, I guess. Anyway, so but still it's great technology. I just hope they don't go around cracking too many windows because that would be a bad thing. Anyway, that's what's going on with me. When was that wood that we had that I picked up from you? KI-7-Z-E-I.
