Welcome to Kaffiru cast everyone. It is 902 on Monday the 4th. I am still COVID free. I have one of my probably longest friends in the history of Aaron kind on the horn. A guy who I spent

10 great months with in the shittiest part of Korea that I know of. I guess you would be

I when I knew you sergeant tetral but what your Steve now what's up man. Yeah what's up man yeah those are some
