Hey, hey, friends, Greg Kockel here, Stand to Reason,

0:31.7

and it's good to be with you today. I spent a wonderful weekend

0:35.6

in an itty bitty town in northern Wyoming. I had to fly into Billings, Montana, which is small

0:42.4

enough, and then I drove for like two and a half

0:45.3

or three hours, getting to Buffalo, Wyoming around, what, midnight or something like that on Saturday night only and I had to be
