I'm on the phone with Jim on one of our regular check-ins Jim just nothing's happening it's going well we had some serious bouts of wind but other than that things are fairly well set up it's starting at him I think hon it's starting let me call you back okay bye yeah for that fee section right there holy [ __ ] look at that big bird rolling all four right right look at that you see how look at the whole thing the calving phases 300 sometimes 400 feet tall pieces of ice we're shooting up out of
