I can see you guys in two days. What? Is it two days? Two days, right? Wednesday. We're going to see each other in two days. Yeah. That's cool. It's been a while. When was the last time we were all together? Louisville. Louisville at the... Okay. Yeah. We did a live podcast at the Maker Faire. Yeah. That was two years ago. Was that right? Three years ago.

Three? Yeah. Really? Yeah. This is such an old man conversation. Seriously. It was in 22. I remember because my knee surgery was... Right. Right. Right. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah.

Awesome.

Well, I'm looking forward to it.

A couple of days now, we're all meeting up in Boston, near Boston, for making it 500.

There are still tickets.

By the time this show goes out, it will be, the show will be tomorrow.

So if you're listening to this, when it comes out and you don't have tickets for tomorrow, there are still tickets for tomorrow available links. Come join us. It's going to be a really good time. I'm looking forward to it. If this is your first time hearing about it, you are too late. Yes. No, the tickets are for a head count more than anything. It's not. Yeah, they're free, by the way. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. The tickets are just to make sure that Carolina or a sponsor has enough of a head start to know how many people to expect for food and gifts and such and such. Yeah.

pencils and I laid out the I just dumped out half the box and stuck it in the little rack that

holds them in position for the etching and then I pulled those out and threw in the next batch and it was

exactly 50 I just randomly made that grid to hold the pencils while they get their graphic etched on them.

So it has the date.

It has our logo making you 500, which is really, I just randomly picked the font.

And then I did a quick Google search of Carolina's new logo, and then I put that in there.

Nice.

So that took while I was also working on the lades, so I'd set it up to cut, and then one cut took about 20 minutes, and then I changed it.

So over the course of two days like randomly in the background it happened very
