You're convenient, we can out if you need. We do a couple more drops if you want and then we'll get the handoff once we get a contact out of here. First, do have wires on the exit there. About a quarter mile. Low poles, but the span's really high over the vineyards in the area. That's inside. ... vehicle. ... kind of next to the... tanks down there, is that correct? I'm trying to work where that last drop was down those tanks. I know it's kind of a reach down there, but a bolster up the cover solving is. So, there's silos to heal as it, but you're looking at all to the previous drop. The silos left the head, it's kind of working. I'm just trying to build it backwards up to the side. The 1A1 is going to get signed from Click to maneuver. Right. Traffic approved. Break, 8-8. 6 and 981 is going to be to right traffic.
