hangout at Ore and Iron,

which is right near the top golf.

And a bunch of you listen on the app down here.

And when we first started coming down a few years ago,

decided to get together and have some light apps and a beverage or two.

And so we'll do that tonight at Ore and Iron. With us right now, Jason Veritech. How are you? I'm great. How are you guys? Welcome. Beautiful weather this morning. Really? Sun's out, guns out. Yeah. I mean. 100%. I hope it's going to warm up at some point. Yeah. I mean, if, you know, little, little weather check before sandals hit.

Yeah. 100%. I hope it's going to warm up at some point. Yeah, I mean, if, you know, little weather check before sandals hit when it's 39 degrees.

Yeah, well, I made a mistake.

That's why he's the captain in your thing.

That is correct.

Actually, I saw on the social media, you were taking a little abuse from the misses because you were gone for the storm and she had to snow blow and shovel everything. Yeah, I mean, you know, you're not there. There's no much you can do. I understand. I tackled, you know, maybe four of the previous 12. Okay. So you're all set. I participated once, changed a cat letter once.

Right, I mean, you're working.

It's a vet move, right?

I mean, is there any appreciation for the fact that you're here in the sunshine working?

Oh, yeah, I got to make sure that I get enough sunscreen on that don't get burnt.

That's smart.

And now she's got to make sure there's enough grass area or an area that the dog can go to the restroom. Yeah, I understand that. It's very important. It's very difficult in the snow when it comes to the dogs getting out there and doing their business. So I'm glad. I'm glad. How's it been going so far? Well, back to the dog. I couldn't hold it that long if I was a dog. What do you mean? I'm 53 now. You've got to go. You've got to go. Totally. By the closest tree. Just don't eat the yellow snow. It's not lemonade kids. No, Wickey, that is correct. Right. That is correct. How's it been so far? It's been great. I mean, the first thing that comes to mind right now with this whole group, and from the get-go

with pitchers and catchers, it's just been energy. There's a great energy in this camp.

Is that the young guys stepping up and saying we're going to, you know, regardless of who is here
