Hello and welcome to episode 235 of Avtoc. I am Ian Petchenik here as always with

Jason Urbanowitz. Welcome back. How are you, Ian? I'm doing all right, Jason. How are you, sir?

I'm good. right Jason how are you sir I'm good thank you that was my best

Midwestern answer for you that was great thank you as you know it's a soft okay

but we're hanging in there.

Yeah, no, it's been a good week so far,

as far as the aviation business is concerned.

Although I should say, for regular listen to the podcast that a few things that we've talked about, oh, I don't know, months ago, are finally kind of in the works and we're getting ready to release them.
