Jason, you're back home after a long drive.

I spent much of my day yesterday at the airport in Chicago but made at home in time how we

feeling I'm recovering my voice is coming back I still have a bit of a kind of a

scratchy throat just from just talking so much it was such a yeah such a great time. We got to see each other finally after a few years and parted ways about by my guess here about 20, 28 hours ago.

So that was good fun.

And here we are back in our chairs.

Yeah, exactly back at the desk.

It was a huge weekend in Chicago for the wind-up fair.

And we kind of have a lot of thank you to start with I think

wow it was a huge thank you to the turnout everyone who showed up and shared their

watches and came to say hi and check out the merch and and just kind of hang out and walk around and of course all the same for the vendors.

And then I think even a bigger thank you or maybe a different sort of thank you,

but just for the opportunity from the Warren and Wound team and the wind up team

to be able to go and have a table

and get a chance to connect with all of you.

It was way more than I expected.

Oh, it was just huge and it was almost overwhelming but in a very, very good way.
