Hello and welcome to episode 199 of Avtoc. I am Ian Petchenick here as always with... Jason Erbinowitz. How's your week going, Ian?

It's a week. It's certainly been a week. We kind of ended last week, began this week with a death on the family.

So some scrambling of... Sorry to hear that. Yeah, thanks. It's my wife's grandmother passed. She was in her

mid-90s and lived a very long and very interesting life.

My wife's grandfather was in the army from World War II until the time he retired either in the Army itself or working for the Army.

So they lived, I think my wife's mother said they moved 14 times.

Wow, as a family. And that doesn't include the times they moved after their

daughters were out of the house. So they lived in places like Italy, Thailand,

Germany, the UK, and then all sorts of places in the US.

But she lived very long and very interesting life,

but passed away this week.

So we were doing a lot of travel planning

and all that fun stuff to get the family down there and I'm I'm

manning the fort with the kids but it's been a good weekend and so we made it I'm here

how are you sir? I'm doing well. In comparison, I've got nothing really going on just trying to keep up with the news.

It's been a long year. Yeah, it's been a long year this week already.

It's Wednesday.

I'm like almost hesitant to do an episode

for what may come.

It really does feel like one of those weeks

where we record and we hit like stop and then something major is going to happen.

And then something can happen.
