Any assumption?

02:11
On the insulator?
02:13
It should be cleared up here in a second.
02:15
We've done a couple inspections and it sounds like we can counsel an insulator.

But your rides at Lake Merritt should get tuned about five minutes.
02:23
And we'll track inspection into there for you.
02:26
So you say we don't need to do a track inspection?
02:30
I don't know if there are any other things that you need to look at.
02:33
Why don't you do it, sir? Then we're just enough.
02:35
We're good. Thank you.
