Check, just staying.
02:23
It is what we're at, that is correct.
02:26
That's what we thought we've got a different angle or something else, but this stack is right against the tower itself.
02:34
And I'm suffering by the records used and the heat used and heat units and being used for putting off all this thing is what it is.
02:41
Check, that's what I saw coming up, Parker.
02:44
All right,
02:45
25 is you received? Do we need to hold everybody up so you can gain access to a different area? Or we think this is going to be hit?
