Jeff, how are you? I'm not so great Scott

I got to tell you I don't know what happened I got a fancy within me to uh roll myself away

out of the city looking across those high plans I rolled myself deep into the mountains it felt

so good to me finally feeling free And then I ran out of gas.

I'm currently doing this from a Romata Inn Lounge in Rockford.
