	6:30pm Handy Haversack: 53! Nice! Which water? I missed the beginning? I capsized into 40F water last winter -- that was pretty brutal. But have swum happily in 54F water.
	6:30pm listener 126464: Sunny & warm morning in Asbury Park today. Like Paradise
	6:32pm Rob W: Brighton Beach, Brooklyn is where Katie swims with CIBBOWS - Coney Island Brighton Beach Open Water Swimmers.
	🌍 6:32pm chresti: Sunny and warm in San Gabriel, CA Katie has a chauffeur?
	🌍 6:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: Very nice, Katie. I hope you're never a victim of jellyfish invasions.
	6:33pm Rob W: CIBBOWS' website if you're curious is cibbows.org
	6:33pm Rob W: I usually chaffeur but Katie drove herself today so I could prep the show!
	6:34pm Rob W: I'll get in the water myself but not much below 70 degrees F!
	🌍 6:34pm Bas NL: You can't get Surfer then this..
	🌍 6:34pm chresti: I can stand 60 degree water IF the air temp is warm.
	6:35pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Rob! And Katie and Sherry and all!
	6:35pm listener 126464: I definitely won't be the near the beach too much next few months.
	🌍 6:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: I get the shivers when I stick my head into cold shower water.
	6:39pm TDK60: I don't surf but I pretend to when I do my surf dance on my rug.
	6:40pm blee: 60 degree surf in Oceanside, CA. Small and glassy this morning.
	🌍 6:42pm chresti: Me too, TDK60, except on rags, although it's more like ski-ing. Good way to buff the floor.
	6:43pm DjLorraine: Surfs up
	🌍 6:43pm chresti: *Actually more like skating.
	6:43pm andal: ashe bhosle is that you?
	6:47pm Rob W: I interviewed Asha once Andal! It's in the archives somewhere. I was a bit star-struck! Wasn't my greatest interview ever though - she wanted to do it in English, woulda been better in Hindi with translation.
	🌍 6:52pm chresti: I don't advise rag skating while holding a cup of coffee.
	🌍 6:53pm Bas NL: Great voice indeed!
	6:56pm Handy Haversack: Was just thinking it had been too long since I heard Habibi!
	6:56pm TDK60: Prudent, chresti.
	6:56pm Megaroni: Greetings TPSP:)! Great Saturday eve vibes
	🌍 6:59pm YETI BOB: Hi Rob. Is the vocal mic level a little too hot? Music sounds good.
	7:00pm Handy Haversack: Hey, YB! How's your Saturday? Feeling any better?
	7:01pm spodiodi: hi Rob and everyone!
	🌍 7:01pm YETI BOB: Hi Handy. I got a negative test result back today which was a relief. Feeling a lot better too, I guess it was just the flu?
	7:01pm Martinibomb: Hullo Rob! ;-)
	7:02pm Handy Haversack: Whoa, great news on all fronts, YB! Congrats!
	7:02pm Ike: Hi Rob, Katie, and all! I’ve probably asked this before, but which Russian places do you like in Brighton Beach? Do you ever get any of that bright green tarragon soda?
	7:02pm Andal: That's so cool, Rob. I will look for the interview. i would have been starstruck too! my old tamil brahmin dad will be impressed. I got him to listen to your show live last weekend.
	7:02pm Rob W: Hi spodiodi, Y, Megaroni and everyone - thanks for the alert on the hot mic - I'll watch out for that.
	7:03pm Rob W: Oh that's sweet, thanks Andal!
	🌍 7:06pm YETI BOB: Tarragon soda?
	🌍 7:07pm chresti: Whoa
	7:07pm spodiodi: YETI BOB -- glad to read about your results (been on my mind) cheers!
	7:08pm Rob W: Ike - our favorite grocery (at least of the past summer) burned down! We don't actually do sit-down dining there much even in normal times. The one place we do sit is Cafe Max which isn't necessarily the most amazing restaurant but a good place for a beer and a cheese pie...
	🌍 7:08pm YETI BOB: thanks spodi.
	7:10pm TDK60: Good news on your negative result, Yeti.
	7:11pm Rob W: Pandemic and all, we haven't gone to some of the groceries we've gone to in past years Ike - but Netcost is a good all-around option. They have several stores in Brooklyn and even in Queens, northern NJ and Philly!
	7:11pm Handy Haversack: \\ //_, TDK60.
	🌍 7:11pm chresti: Whew Yeti Bob!
	🌍 7:12pm YETI BOB: Now I'm looking for places where I can try this tarragon soda I just learned about This page I found lists two places, one in Tbilisi, and the other in Brighton Beach. I know a ton of Ukrainian/Polish places in Chicago but not really Russian...
	🌍 7:12pm YETI BOB: thanks chresti, you are all so nice!
	7:12pm spodiodi: love the vulcan, Handy
	7:13pm Rob W: Actually Ike I forgot to mention, one of our big themes this summer was going to Georgian bakeries / take out places in Brighton beach, of which there are several. The one on Brighton Beach blvd near Ocean Pkwy is good, also the one on I think 6th St. nearer to the boardwalk.
	7:13pm Handy Haversack: That's TDK60's innovation, spodi, but it seems a greeting worth reviving!
	7:14pm Marshall Stacks: They sure do love tarragon in Georgia
	7:15pm prguitar: Hey there Rob! Glad to be here for a while this evening.. Hope you and Katie are doing well..
	7:16pm Ike: Thanks Rob! @Yeti, there are several brands, many of which are too sweet for me. I like a brand called Zandukeli, because it's not insanely sweet. Also every type of Russian soda is mistranslated as "lemonade" so just keep in mind, that just means soda. Pear flavor is also popular.
	7:16pm TDK60: Oh yeah, \\ // Handy, et allz. "Live long and prosper."
	7:18pm spodiodi: \\ //_, indeed TDK, i salute thee
	🌍 7:18pm chresti: \\\///
	7:18pm TDK60: ..a good greeting to actually use during plagues and the like.
	🌍 7:18pm YETI BOB: @Ike: Thanks for the tip! It sounds like something I would really like. I was considering trying this recipe foodperestroika.com... maybe reducing the sugar a bit
	7:19pm spodiodi: i used to wear a big spock pin around when i was 5-?
	7:21pm spodiodi: www.chabad.org... who knew?
	🌍 7:22pm chresti: ↖↖↗↗ spodi
	7:22pm Handy Haversack: All this Brighton Beach talk is making me hungry, but Kate's not home from recording yet. Waiting for her before I warm up the baked ziti and make broccoli rabe -- but wait! Here she is! O providence!
	7:22pm spodiodi: \\ //_, chresti
	7:23pm spodiodi: woooo ziti ftw
	🌍 7:23pm YETI BOB: Enjoy the supper Handy!
	7:24pm Handy Haversack: Oven coming on!
	7:24pm TDK60: spodi, I'd heard that. Nimoy was Jewish and got the idea from the old blessing.
	7:25pm spodiodi: very cool, TDK -- TIL :)
	🌍 7:30pm Bas NL: I got two great Surinam take-away places on walking distance.. :)
	🌍 7:31pm YETI BOB: "Leonard Nimoy stated that he got the idea for this salute because, as a small boy, he peeked when he was told not to, and saw the fingers of the Cohanim. The Talmud states that the Cohanim should not look at the people and the people should not look at the Cohanim at the time of the blessing" - www.chabad.org...
	7:32pm TDK60: Surinam, don't hear much from there. French Guiana not much either. And I guess Guyana too.
	7:33pm Carmichael: Heya Rob and trannies. I grock spock.
	7:33pm Uncle Michael: Lovely plug for a cool guest feature on the stream, on Doug's show, Rob. Slight correction...when Chris Albertyn is on, it's for the middle hour.
	🌍 7:33pm YETI BOB: I think it's kind of funny that Nimoy learned about this "secret" gesture by peeking when he was not supposed to, then he went on to popularize it on national TV.
	7:33pm WFMU listener John: @Hello fellow paradise listeners @YETI BOB how are you feeling
	🌍 7:36pm YETI BOB: Hi John, thanks for asking, I'm recovering from whatever flu I had last week - I just got my test results back, COVID negative, phew! 3-day wait for test result, which was supposed to be 24 hours, I understand that the system is backed up right now but I wish we had better testing.
	🌍 7:36pm Bas NL: Over half the Surinam people moved to The Netherlands and have well integrated their culture over here.
	7:37pm Carmichael: Just had my first experience at an asian market. Making thai spareribs fir Thanksgiving.
	7:37pm WFMU listener john: @YB we all do and glad you don’t have that shit
	7:38pm spodiodi: indeed, YB
	7:38pm Andres: Evening Rob and peoples! It has been a fiery show tonight! Excellent for accompanying the making and consumption of pizza. Enjoyed by the whole family hereabouts. Hope all are warm and cozy wherever you are!
	7:38pm spodiodi: interesting, Bas
	7:38pm TDK60: Interesting Bas. You ever been to the Neth. Antilles? I've not.
	7:38pm WFMU listener john: And interesting discussion about Leonard nimoy
	7:39pm spodiodi: aloha, John and Andres
	7:39pm WFMU listener john: Hey spod nice seeing you again

	7:41pm Handy Haversack: Bas, we had some great Surinamese food in Amsterdam a few years back.
	7:42pm WFMU listener john: @Coel howdy @TDK60 howdy
	7:43pm TDK60: \\ // WFMU listener.
	7:45pm Andres: spodiodi: Afternoon melds into Evening!
	🌍 7:46pm Bas NL: Can't go wrong with Surinamese food! It's an interesting mix of Creole, Hindustani an Indonesian kitchens. To my taste, the best of all.. :)
	🌍 7:47pm YETI BOB: @Bas: It's so good! Never been to Surinam but tried it in Amsterdam :)
	7:48pm coelacanth∅: hey spodi, hey john
	🌍 7:49pm Bas NL: At a good Surinamese restaurant you don have to take a long wait in account. They only start to cook on order to get you a fresh meal; might take an hour, but worth the wait!
	🌍 7:50pm slugluv1313: greetings, Rob! Skeletons! Everyone! been listening, just not signed in until now -- GREAT SATURDAY NIGHT GROOVES!
	7:51pm TDK60: \\ // to any lurkers.

	7:55pm Rob W: Greetings and thanks slugluv and everyone!
	7:56pm spodiodi: this day has been phenomenal 🖖 all 🖖 WFMU
	🌍 7:57pm YETI BOB: @Listener John: I used up all my Trek knowledge making that little joke!
	7:57pm Andres: Seriously, so hot tonight! I think the talk of polar Coney plunges spurred on the heat.
	7:58pm WFMU listener john: @YB no worries
	7:58pm Carmichael: Doing my Ed Grimmley dance.
	7:58pm spodiodi: looks Klingon from here, john
	7:59pm WFMU listener john: @Spidiodi hee hee hee

	🌍 8:00pm slugluv1313: \\// everyone!
	8:01pm spodiodi: 🖖
	8:01pm spodiodi: one of my old racing buddies called me "spidodi" regularly on mic
	8:01pm WFMU listener John: @Spodi just spit water out thanks for the laugh
	🌍 8:02pm slugluv1313: hi Katie and kitties too! :)
	8:02pm WFMU listener John: @Spodiodi i know but i hate butchering names
	8:02pm spodiodi: 🤡 my pleasure, john
	8:03pm coelacanth∅: you mean you didn't make up spiderodor for your wfmu profile?
	8:04pm WFMU listener John: Well besides the list knowledge i glean from this laugh, i have gotten a lot of laughs too
	8:05pm spodiodi: correct, coel -- i've been spodiodi since '08 or so, and a wfmu listener since ~98 or 99... i had a different handle then (and used a different email addy)
	8:07pm spodiodi: been eyeing a monogrammed hairbrush that features an "S", however, coel -- spodi has been taking over
	8:07pm spodiodi: (just had it in my cart today, but too lazy and afraid to pick it up... probs just shippit)
	8:08pm coelacanth∅: your mother should know
	8:08pm spodiodi: they're $5 at target, in case anyone is interested and has a similar ego issue
	8:08pm spodiodi: what she doesn't know won't hurt her
	8:09pm coelacanth∅: that's true.
	8:11pm spodiodi: Handy isn't the only one cooking -- this set is great, Rob!

	8:42pm spodiodi: i have a list somewhere of all the vehicles i've owned (mildly interesting to just me, probably :)
	8:42pm spodiodi: the 56's engine got lost while my dad was dealing with having someone he met rebuild it
	8:52pm Handy Haversack: Great show, Rob! I was listening even when not commenting. Thanks! And to your Skeleton, too. A round of tarragon sodas all around! We're gonna be a little late to Marty's -- making an appearance at a Zoom bday party. But we will see you all later.

	6:27pm listener 126464: Cheers Rob, everyone. Like Paradise
	6:29pm suzyhotrod: Katie you are inspiring! GO, KATIE!
	6:30pm Handy Haversack: 53! Nice! Which water? I missed the beginning? I capsized into 40F water last winter -- that was pretty brutal. But have swum happily in 54F water.
	6:30pm listener 126464: Sunny & warm morning in Asbury Park today. Like Paradise
	6:32pm Rob W: Brighton Beach, Brooklyn is where Katie swims with CIBBOWS - Coney Island Brighton Beach Open Water Swimmers.
	🌍 6:32pm chresti: Sunny and warm in San Gabriel, CA Katie has a chauffeur?
	🌍 6:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: Very nice, Katie. I hope you're never a victim of jellyfish invasions.
	6:33pm Rob W: CIBBOWS' website if you're curious is cibbows.org
	6:33pm Rob W: I usually chaffeur but Katie drove herself today so I could prep the show!
	6:34pm Rob W: I'll get in the water myself but not much below 70 degrees F!
	🌍 6:34pm Bas NL: You can't get Surfer then this..
	🌍 6:34pm chresti: I can stand 60 degree water IF the air temp is warm.
	6:35pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Rob! And Katie and Sherry and all!
	6:35pm listener 126464: I definitely won't be the near the beach too much next few months.
	🌍 6:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: I get the shivers when I stick my head into cold shower water.
	6:39pm TDK60: I don't surf but I pretend to when I do my surf dance on my rug.
	6:40pm blee: 60 degree surf in Oceanside, CA. Small and glassy this morning.
	🌍 6:42pm chresti: Me too, TDK60, except on rags, although it's more like ski-ing. Good way to buff the floor.
	6:43pm DjLorraine: Surfs up
	🌍 6:43pm chresti: *Actually more like skating.
	6:43pm andal: ashe bhosle is that you?
	6:47pm Rob W: I interviewed Asha once Andal! It's in the archives somewhere. I was a bit star-struck! Wasn't my greatest interview ever though - she wanted to do it in English, woulda been better in Hindi with translation.
	🌍 6:52pm chresti: I don't advise rag skating while holding a cup of coffee.
	🌍 6:53pm Bas NL: Great voice indeed!
	6:56pm Handy Haversack: Was just thinking it had been too long since I heard Habibi!
	6:56pm TDK60: Prudent, chresti.
	6:56pm Megaroni: Greetings TPSP:)! Great Saturday eve vibes
	🌍 6:59pm YETI BOB: Hi Rob. Is the vocal mic level a little too hot? Music sounds good.
	7:00pm Handy Haversack: Hey, YB! How's your Saturday? Feeling any better?
	7:01pm spodiodi: hi Rob and everyone!
	🌍 7:01pm YETI BOB: Hi Handy. I got a negative test result back today which was a relief. Feeling a lot better too, I guess it was just the flu?
	7:01pm Martinibomb: Hullo Rob! ;-)
	7:02pm Handy Haversack: Whoa, great news on all fronts, YB! Congrats!
	7:02pm Ike: Hi Rob, Katie, and all! I’ve probably asked this before, but which Russian places do you like in Brighton Beach? Do you ever get any of that bright green tarragon soda?
	7:02pm Andal: That's so cool, Rob. I will look for the interview. i would have been starstruck too! my old tamil brahmin dad will be impressed. I got him to listen to your show live last weekend.
	7:02pm Rob W: Hi spodiodi, Y, Megaroni and everyone - thanks for the alert on the hot mic - I'll watch out for that.
	7:03pm Rob W: Oh that's sweet, thanks Andal!
	🌍 7:06pm YETI BOB: Tarragon soda?
	🌍 7:07pm chresti: Whoa
	7:07pm spodiodi: YETI BOB -- glad to read about your results (been on my mind) cheers!
	7:08pm Rob W: Ike - our favorite grocery (at least of the past summer) burned down! We don't actually do sit-down dining there much even in normal times. The one place we do sit is Cafe Max which isn't necessarily the most amazing restaurant but a good place for a beer and a cheese pie...
	🌍 7:08pm YETI BOB: thanks spodi.
	7:10pm TDK60: Good news on your negative result, Yeti.
	7:11pm Rob W: Pandemic and all, we haven't gone to some of the groceries we've gone to in past years Ike - but Netcost is a good all-around option. They have several stores in Brooklyn and even in Queens, northern NJ and Philly!
	7:11pm Handy Haversack: \\ //_, TDK60.
	🌍 7:11pm chresti: Whew Yeti Bob!
	🌍 7:12pm YETI BOB: Now I'm looking for places where I can try this tarragon soda I just learned about This page I found lists two places, one in Tbilisi, and the other in Brighton Beach. I know a ton of Ukrainian/Polish places in Chicago but not really Russian...
	🌍 7:12pm YETI BOB: thanks chresti, you are all so nice!
	7:12pm spodiodi: love the vulcan, Handy
	7:13pm Rob W: Actually Ike I forgot to mention, one of our big themes this summer was going to Georgian bakeries / take out places in Brighton beach, of which there are several. The one on Brighton Beach blvd near Ocean Pkwy is good, also the one on I think 6th St. nearer to the boardwalk.
	7:13pm Handy Haversack: That's TDK60's innovation, spodi, but it seems a greeting worth reviving!
	7:14pm Marshall Stacks: They sure do love tarragon in Georgia
	7:15pm prguitar: Hey there Rob! Glad to be here for a while this evening.. Hope you and Katie are doing well..
	7:16pm Ike: Thanks Rob! @Yeti, there are several brands, many of which are too sweet for me. I like a brand called Zandukeli, because it's not insanely sweet. Also every type of Russian soda is mistranslated as "lemonade" so just keep in mind, that just means soda. Pear flavor is also popular.
	7:16pm TDK60: Oh yeah, \\ // Handy, et allz. "Live long and prosper."
	7:18pm spodiodi: \\ //_, indeed TDK, i salute thee
	🌍 7:18pm chresti: \\\///
	7:18pm TDK60: ..a good greeting to actually use during plagues and the like.
	🌍 7:18pm YETI BOB: @Ike: Thanks for the tip! It sounds like something I would really like. I was considering trying this recipe foodperestroika.com... maybe reducing the sugar a bit
	7:19pm spodiodi: i used to wear a big spock pin around when i was 5-?
	7:21pm spodiodi: www.chabad.org... who knew?
	🌍 7:22pm chresti: ↖↖↗↗ spodi
	7:22pm Handy Haversack: All this Brighton Beach talk is making me hungry, but Kate's not home from recording yet. Waiting for her before I warm up the baked ziti and make broccoli rabe -- but wait! Here she is! O providence!
	7:22pm spodiodi: \\ //_, chresti
	7:23pm spodiodi: woooo ziti ftw
	🌍 7:23pm YETI BOB: Enjoy the supper Handy!
	7:24pm Handy Haversack: Oven coming on!
	7:24pm TDK60: spodi, I'd heard that. Nimoy was Jewish and got the idea from the old blessing.
	7:25pm spodiodi: very cool, TDK -- TIL :)
	🌍 7:30pm Bas NL: I got two great Surinam take-away places on walking distance.. :)
	🌍 7:31pm YETI BOB: "Leonard Nimoy stated that he got the idea for this salute because, as a small boy, he peeked when he was told not to, and saw the fingers of the Cohanim. The Talmud states that the Cohanim should not look at the people and the people should not look at the Cohanim at the time of the blessing" - www.chabad.org...
	7:32pm TDK60: Surinam, don't hear much from there. French Guiana not much either. And I guess Guyana too.
	7:33pm Carmichael: Heya Rob and trannies. I grock spock.
	7:33pm Uncle Michael: Lovely plug for a cool guest feature on the stream, on Doug's show, Rob. Slight correction...when Chris Albertyn is on, it's for the middle hour.
	🌍 7:33pm YETI BOB: I think it's kind of funny that Nimoy learned about this "secret" gesture by peeking when he was not supposed to, then he went on to popularize it on national TV.
	7:33pm WFMU listener John: @Hello fellow paradise listeners @YETI BOB how are you feeling
	🌍 7:36pm YETI BOB: Hi John, thanks for asking, I'm recovering from whatever flu I had last week - I just got my test results back, COVID negative, phew! 3-day wait for test result, which was supposed to be 24 hours, I understand that the system is backed up right now but I wish we had better testing.
	🌍 7:36pm Bas NL: Over half the Surinam people moved to The Netherlands and have well integrated their culture over here.
	7:37pm Carmichael: Just had my first experience at an asian market. Making thai spareribs fir Thanksgiving.
	7:37pm WFMU listener john: @YB we all do and glad you don’t have that shit
	7:38pm spodiodi: indeed, YB
	7:38pm Andres: Evening Rob and peoples! It has been a fiery show tonight! Excellent for accompanying the making and consumption of pizza. Enjoyed by the whole family hereabouts. Hope all are warm and cozy wherever you are!
	7:38pm spodiodi: interesting, Bas
	7:38pm TDK60: Interesting Bas. You ever been to the Neth. Antilles? I've not.

	7:39pm WFMU listener john: Hey spod nice seeing you again

	7:42pm WFMU listener john: @Coel howdy @TDK60 howdy
	7:43pm TDK60: \\ // WFMU listener.
	7:45pm Andres: spodiodi: Afternoon melds into Evening!
	🌍 7:46pm Bas NL: Can't go wrong with Surinamese food! It's an interesting mix of Creole, Hindustani an Indonesian kitchens. To my taste, the best of all.. :)
	🌍 7:47pm YETI BOB: @Bas: It's so good! Never been to Surinam but tried it in Amsterdam :)
	7:48pm coelacanth∅: hey spodi, hey john
	🌍 7:49pm Bas NL: At a good Surinamese restaurant you don have to take a long wait in account. They only start to cook on order to get you a fresh meal; might take an hour, but worth the wait!
	🌍 7:50pm slugluv1313: greetings, Rob! Skeletons! Everyone! been listening, just not signed in until now -- GREAT SATURDAY NIGHT GROOVES!
	7:51pm TDK60: \\ // to any lurkers.

	🌍 7:57pm YETI BOB: @Listener John: I used up all my Trek knowledge making that little joke!
	7:57pm Andres: Seriously, so hot tonight! I think the talk of polar Coney plunges spurred on the heat.
	7:58pm WFMU listener john: @YB no worries
	7:58pm Carmichael: Doing my Ed Grimmley dance.
	7:58pm spodiodi: looks Klingon from here, john
	7:59pm WFMU listener john: @Spidiodi hee hee hee

	🌍 8:00pm slugluv1313: \\// everyone!
	8:01pm spodiodi: 🖖
	8:01pm spodiodi: one of my old racing buddies called me "spidodi" regularly on mic
	8:01pm WFMU listener John: @Spodi just spit water out thanks for the laugh
	🌍 8:02pm slugluv1313: hi Katie and kitties too! :)
	8:02pm WFMU listener John: @Spodiodi i know but i hate butchering names
	8:02pm spodiodi: 🤡 my pleasure, john
	8:03pm coelacanth∅: you mean you didn't make up spiderodor for your wfmu profile?
	8:04pm WFMU listener John: Well besides the list knowledge i glean from this laugh, i have gotten a lot of laughs too
	8:05pm spodiodi: correct, coel -- i've been spodiodi since '08 or so, and a wfmu listener since ~98 or 99... i had a different handle then (and used a different email addy)
	8:07pm spodiodi: been eyeing a monogrammed hairbrush that features an "S", however, coel -- spodi has been taking over
	8:07pm spodiodi: (just had it in my cart today, but too lazy and afraid to pick it up... probs just shippit)
	8:08pm coelacanth∅: your mother should know
	8:08pm spodiodi: they're $5 at target, in case anyone is interested and has a similar ego issue
	8:08pm spodiodi: what she doesn't know won't hurt her
	8:09pm coelacanth∅: that's true.
	8:11pm spodiodi: Handy isn't the only one cooking -- this set is great, Rob!
	8:13pm spodiodi: legs... demanding... freedom

	8:41pm spodiodi: Carmichael, not sure i mentioned, but i had a '56 for a short time, but only got to drive it once or twice (alas, i don't think any pics exist)
	8:42pm spodiodi: i have a list somewhere of all the vehicles i've owned (mildly interesting to just me, probably :)
	8:42pm spodiodi: the 56's engine got lost while my dad was dealing with having someone he met rebuild it
	8:52pm Handy Haversack: Great show, Rob! I was listening even when not commenting. Thanks! And to your Skeleton, too. A round of tarragon sodas all around! We're gonna be a little late to Marty's -- making an appearance at a Zoom bday party. But we will see you all later.
