Hey, we just thought we'd do real quick live since we put out yesterday our legs of our trip today where we'd be. We got delayed in Indianapolis. We're still here. We're now leaving here 10:30, so we're leaving, be leaving almost three hours late. So if you were looking gonna be looking for us on one of our fuel stops, we're about three hours behind. But we wanted to mention real quick, something really super cool happened, why we were delayed here. We got to see 80 veterans come in today. They got standing ovation from the people in the airport. Eighty veterans from World War II, Vietnam and the Korean War. And it was awesome. And they were met by Dixie, the praying deer dog. And as crazy as that sounds, this dog was amazing. Everybody loved the dog. We have a bunch of video of Dixie and with all the veterans, it was absolutely amazing. Everybody was, you know, getting choked up and it was amazing. So I'm going to let Gary tell you where these veterans were going today. They were getting ready to go fly and that's what Dixie was doing. She actually bowed down and prayed for them, to pray for them for a safe flight. And that was incredible. Gary, tell us, where were they going today? I talked to one of the volunteers and what they do is four times a year they come out of Indianapolis airport and there's other regions that do the same thing. Non profit organization, Free to War veterans, they take them to the Washington D.C. war Memorial and they get to watch the changing of the guards. And just super awesome to see all these people that made sacrifices for us today and that they're doing this awesome thing for them, to honor them. And as a veteran myself, I certainly appreciate it and I enjoyed the opportunity to cheer them on and clap for them and tell them thank you, it was awesome. And we thank Gary for his service. My dad was a Korean War veteran, so, you know, it meant a lot to all of us. So we're gonna get off here. We're getting ready to try to get on the plane here shortly so our flights delayed.

Absolutely freaking cool. We're hoping to do a beach landing. Oh yeah, we're gonna try to do a beach landing today. After we get in the R44, get headed back. We'll try to pick a good spot that we think is appropriate for that. And the girls should enjoy jumping or land on a beach and jumping out and getting their feet in the water real quick. That'd be pretty cool. We're gonna go up the west coast, right up the west coast of Florida, and find a good spot to lay on the beach, so stay tuned.
