  much
• 0:23
  rain

  your
• 0:24
  side
• 0:24
  of
• 0:24
  the
• 0:24
  mountains
• 0:24
  as
• 0:25
  we
• 0:25

• 0:26
  Yeah,

  I
• 0:27
  feel
• 0:27
  like
• 0:28
  every
• 0:28
  other
• 0:29
  conversation
• 0:29

  this
• 0:30
  summer
• 0:31
  has
• 0:31
  been
• 0:32
  me
• 0:32
  talking
• 0:33
  about
• 0:33
  the
• 0:33
  rain
• 0:33
  we've
• 0:34
  gotten
• 0:35
  and
• 0:35
  then
• 0:35
  the
• 0:35
  last
• 0:35
  couple
• 0:36
  weeks,
• 0:39
  let's
• 0:39
  see,
• 0:39
  two
• 0:40
  days
• 0:40
  ago,
• 0:42
  two
• 0:42
  or
• 0:42
  three
• 0:42
  days
• 0:43
  ago
• 0:43
  was,
• 0:45
  wow,
• 0:45
  I'm
• 0:45
  in
• 0:45
  a
• 0:45
  time
• 0:45
  warp.
• 0:46
  Yesterday
• 0:46
  was
• 0:46
  the
• 0:47
  lowest
• 0:47
  I
• 0:48
  have
• 0:48
  rode
• 0:49
  the
• 0:49
  Watauga
• 0:50
  not
• 0:50
  generating
• 0:51
  in
• 0:53
  the
• 0:53
  Del
• 0:53
  river
• 0:53
  was
• 0:54
  comfortably
• 0:56
  in,
• 0:57
  you
• 0:57
  know,
• 0:57
  under
• 0:58
  a
• 0:58
  hundred.
• 0:59
  And
• 1:00
  you
• 1:00
  just
• 1:00
  look
• 1:01
  at
• 1:01
  the,
• 1:02
  the
• 1:02
  USGS
• 1:02
  gauge
• 1:03
  on
• 1:03
  that
• 1:03
  and
• 1:03
  it's,
• 1:05
  it's
• 1:05
  been
• 1:05
  going
• 1:05
  up
• 1:06
  to,
• 1:06
  you
• 1:07
  know,
• 1:07
  3,
• 1:07
  400
• 1:07
  and
• 1:08
  sitting
• 1:08
  there
• 1:08
  for
• 1:08
  a
• 1:08
  day
• 1:09
  or
• 1:09
  two
• 1:09
  and
• 1:09
  then
• 1:09
  coming
• 1:09
  down
• 1:10
  to,
• 1:10
  you
• 1:10
  know,
• 1:10
  180,
• 1:11
  150.
• 1:11
  And
• 1:12
  those
• 1:12
  numbers
• 1:12
  are.
• 1:12
  Normally
• 1:14
  you'll
• 1:14
  still
• 1:14
  see
• 1:14
  it
• 1:15
  peak
• 1:16
  up
• 1:16
  to,
• 1:18
  you
• 1:19
  know,
• 1:19
  four
• 1:19
  or
• 1:19
  five
• 1:20
  hundred
• 1:20
  maybe
• 1:20
  with,
• 1:21
  with
• 1:21
  big
• 1:21
  reins,
• 1:24
  but
• 1:24
  it's,
• 1:25
  it
• 1:25
  drops
• 1:25
  down
• 1:26
  quick
• 1:26
  to
• 1:28
  a
• 1:28
  hundred,
• 1:28
  still
• 1:29
  feels
• 1:29
  healthy
• 1:29
  and,
• 1:30
  and
• 1:31
  you
• 1:32
  know,
• 1:32
  60,
• 1:32
  70
• 1:33
  is
• 1:33
  real
• 1:33
  skinny,
• 1:34
  but
• 1:34
  it,
• 1:34
  it
• 1:34
  finds
• 1:34
  its
• 1:35
  way
• 1:35
  there.
• 1:35
  So
• 1:36
  still
• 1:36
  haven't
• 1:37
  seen
• 1:37
  that,
• 1:37
  but
• 1:38
  feel
• 1:39
  like
• 1:39
  we've
• 1:39
  been
• 1:39
  approaching
• 1:40
  it
• 1:40
  in
• 1:40
  the
• 1:40
  last
• 1:40
  few
• 1:40
  weeks
• 1:40
  and
• 1:41
  then
• 1:43
  been
• 1:43
  getting
• 1:43
  a
• 1:43
  little
• 1:43
  more
• 1:44
  rain.
• 1:44
  Got,
• 1:44
  got
• 1:45
  hit
• 1:45
  today
• 1:46
  while
• 1:46
  we
• 1:46
  were
• 1:46
  out.
• 1:50
  And
• 1:50
  it
• 1:50
  looks,
• 1:50
  you
• 1:51
  know,
• 1:51
  based
• 1:51
  on
• 1:51
  generation
• 1:52
  schedules
• 1:52
  with,
• 1:54
  with
• 1:54
  both
• 1:54
  rivers
• 1:56
  running
• 1:57
  more
• 1:58
  than
• 1:58
  half
• 1:58
  the
• 1:58
  day,
• 2:01
  which
• 2:01
  without
• 2:02
  a
• 2:03
  good
• 2:03
  amount
• 2:03
  of
• 2:03
  rain,
• 2:05
  the
• 2:06
  Wataga
• 2:06
  just
• 2:07
  does
• 2:07
  the
• 2:07
  five
• 2:07
  hours,
• 2:08
  one
• 2:08
  to
• 2:08
  six,
• 2:08
  six
• 2:09
  days
• 2:09
  a
• 2:09
  week
• 2:09
  and
• 2:10
  the
• 2:10
  South
• 2:10
  Holston
• 2:12
  somewhat
• 2:12
  variable,
• 2:13
  but
• 2:14
  it's,
• 2:15
  it's
• 2:15
  been,
• 2:15
  it's
• 2:16
  been
• 2:16
  pushing
• 2:16
  a
• 2:16
  little
• 2:17
  more
• 2:17
  water
• 2:17
  this
• 2:17
  summer
• 2:18
  than
• 2:18
  last
• 2:18
  year
• 2:18
  for
• 2:19
  sure.
• 2:20
  But
• 2:20
  all
• 2:20
  of
• 2:21
  a
• 2:21
  sudden
• 2:22
  looks
• 2:23
  like
• 2:23
  the
• 2:23
  next.
• 2:24
  We
• 2:24
  only
• 2:25
  get
• 2:25
  three
• 2:25
  days
• 2:25
  of
• 2:25
  forecast.
• 2:26
  But
• 2:28
  you
• 2:28
  know,
• 2:28
  looking
• 2:29
  like
• 2:29
  these
• 2:29
  healthy
• 2:29
  flows
• 2:30
  are
• 2:30
  continuing,
• 2:31
  which
• 2:32
  as
• 2:33
  we
• 2:33
  had
• 2:33
  discussed,
• 2:34
  might
• 2:34
  be
• 2:34
  compensating
• 2:35
  for
• 2:35
  some
• 2:35
  upcoming
• 2:36
  precipitation.
• 2:39
  But
• 2:39
  we
• 2:39
  have
• 2:40
  not
• 2:40
  gotten
• 2:40
  what
• 2:40
  you
• 2:40
  guys
• 2:41
  got.
• 2:41
  We
• 2:41
  didn't
• 2:41
  get
• 2:41
  the,
• 2:42
  you
• 2:42
  know,
• 2:42
  the
• 2:42
  2
• 2:43
  to
• 2:43
  3
• 2:43
  inches
• 2:44
  certainly
• 2:44
  did
• 2:44
  not
• 2:45
  find
• 2:45
  its
• 2:45
  way
• 2:46
  here.
• 2:47
  Yeah.
• 2:48
  And
• 2:48
  even
• 2:48
  though,
• 2:48
  you
• 2:48
  know,
• 2:48
  you
• 2:49
  don't
• 2:49
  expect
• 2:49
  like
• 2:49
  sulfur
• 2:50
  to
• 2:50
  be
• 2:50
  off
• 2:50
  the
• 2:50
  hook
• 2:51
  at
• 2:51
  this
• 2:51
  time
• 2:51
  of
• 2:51
  year.
• 2:51
  You
• 2:52
  were
• 2:52
  telling
• 2:52
  me
• 2:52
  that
• 2:53
  the
• 2:53
  streamer
• 2:54
  bite's
• 2:54
  been
• 2:54
  good,
• 2:55
  but
• 2:55
  the
• 2:55
  dry
• 2:56
  fly
• 2:56
  bite's
• 2:56
  been
• 2:56
  unusually
• 2:57
  off.
• 2:59
  Yeah,
• 3:00
  I
• 3:00
  think
• 3:00
  I
• 3:01
  like
• 3:01
  to
• 3:01
  tell
• 3:01
  myself
• 3:02
  that
• 3:02
  it's
• 3:02
  unusual
• 3:03
  every
• 3:03
  this
• 3:04
  time
• 3:04
  of
• 3:04
  year.
• 3:05
  But
• 3:06
  I,
• 3:08
  I
• 3:08
  pick
• 3:08
  up
• 3:08
  rocks
• 3:09
  whenever
• 3:09
  I
• 3:09
  can
• 3:11
  as
• 3:11
  much
• 3:11
  as
• 3:12
  I,
• 3:12
  I
• 3:13
  don't
• 3:13
  nymph
• 3:13
  much
• 3:14
  from
• 3:14
  the,
• 3:14
  the
• 3:15
  moving
• 3:15
  boat.
• 3:18
  It's.
• 3:19
  That's
• 3:19
  what
• 3:19
  I
• 3:20
  started
• 3:20
  out
• 3:21
  doing
• 3:21
  in
• 3:21
  fly
• 3:21
  fishing.
• 3:22
  I
• 3:22
  still
• 3:22
  like
• 3:23
  to
• 3:23
  teach
• 3:23
  it.
• 3:25
  And
• 3:25
  they're
• 3:25
  in
• 3:26
  low
• 3:26
  water.
• 3:26
  There's
• 3:26
  a
• 3:26
  lot
• 3:26
  of,
• 3:27
  a
• 3:27
  lot
• 3:27
  of
• 3:27
  juicy
• 3:28
  little
• 3:28
  cuts
• 3:28
  on
• 3:28
  the
• 3:28
  Watauga.
• 3:31
  But
• 3:31
  just
• 3:32
  picking
• 3:32
  up
• 3:32
  those
• 3:32
  rocks,
• 3:33
  it's.
• 3:34
  It.
• 3:35
  Forgive
• 3:35
  me
• 3:35
  if
• 3:35
  I'm
• 3:36
  repeating
• 3:36
  myself,
• 3:36
  but
• 3:37
  you
• 3:37
  do
• 3:37
  that
• 3:37
  in,
• 3:39
  you
• 3:39
  know,
• 3:39
  February,
• 3:40
  March.
• 3:42
  It's
• 3:42
  stuff
• 3:43
  just
• 3:43
  falling,
• 3:44
  you
• 3:44
  know,
• 3:44
  these
• 3:45
  14s,
• 3:46
  16s,
• 3:47
  18s
• 3:49
  falling
• 3:49
  off
• 3:51
  stone
• 3:51
  flies.
• 3:53
  And
• 3:53
  now
• 3:54
  it's,
• 3:55
  you
• 3:55
  know,
• 3:55
  there's
• 3:56
  a
• 3:56
  32
• 3:57
  sneaking
• 3:58
  around
• 3:58
  and,
• 3:58
  and
• 3:59
  all
• 3:59
  the
• 3:59
  Cattus
• 3:59
  are
• 4:00
  really
• 4:00
  small.
• 4:00
  There's,
• 4:01
  there's,
• 4:01
  you
• 4:02
  know,
• 4:02
  the
• 4:02
  rocks
• 4:02
  are
• 4:03
  jam
• 4:03
  packed
• 4:03
  with
• 4:03
  caddis,
• 4:04
  but
• 4:04
  they're
• 4:04
  the,
• 4:04
  they're
• 4:05
  babies
• 4:06
  growing
• 4:07
  big
• 4:07
  for
• 4:07
  next
• 4:07
  year.
• 4:07
  So
• 4:12
  I,
• 4:12
  I
• 4:12
  always
• 4:13
  anticipate.
• 4:13
  I'm
• 4:14
  a
• 4:14
  little
• 4:14
  spoiled
• 4:14
  being
• 4:14
  on.
• 4:15
  On
• 4:15
  two
• 4:15
  tail
• 4:16
  waters.
• 4:16
  I
• 4:17
  always
• 4:17
  anticipate
• 4:18
  some
• 4:19
  bluing
• 4:19
  activity
• 4:20
  on,
• 4:20
  on
• 4:20
  overcast
• 4:21
  and
• 4:21
  sort
• 4:21
  of
• 4:21
  flat
• 4:22
  barometer
• 4:22
  days.
• 4:23
  But
• 4:24
  you
• 4:24
  know,
• 4:24
  the
• 4:25
  big,
• 4:26
  the
• 4:26
  big
• 4:26
  push
• 4:27
  of
• 4:28
  yellow
• 4:29
  bugs
• 4:29
  for
• 4:29
  sure
• 4:29
  on
• 4:29
  both
• 4:30
  rivers
• 4:30
  is
• 4:30
  over.
• 4:30
  And
• 4:31
  um,
• 4:33
  you
• 4:33
  know,
• 4:33
  there's,
• 4:34
  there's
• 4:34
  still
• 4:34
  reliable
• 4:34
  bug
• 4:35
  activity
• 4:35
  here
• 4:35
  and
• 4:36
  there.
• 4:36
  It's
• 4:36
  just
• 4:37
  starting
• 4:38
  to
• 4:38
  get
• 4:38
  into
• 4:38
  the
• 4:39
  downsizing
• 4:40
  season
• 4:41
  and,
• 4:42
  and
• 4:42
  then
• 4:42
  we'll
• 4:43
  get,
• 4:43
  you
• 4:43
  know,
• 4:43
  we'll,
• 4:44
  we'll
• 4:44
  talk
• 4:44
  in
• 4:44
  another
• 4:45
  couple
• 4:45
  weeks
• 4:45
  and
• 4:45
  there's
• 4:46
  going
• 4:46
  to
• 4:46
  be
• 4:46
  some
• 4:46
  different
• 4:47
  activity.
• 4:48
  But
• 4:48
  August,
• 4:49
  August
• 4:49
  can
• 4:49
  start
• 4:50
  to
• 4:50
  feel
• 4:51
  a
• 4:51
  little
• 4:52
  grindy.
• 4:53
  Thankfully
• 4:53
  we
• 4:53
  have
• 4:54
  water
• 4:54
  and
• 4:57
  have
• 4:57
  been
• 4:57
  moving
• 4:58
  and
• 4:58
  sticking
• 4:59
  some
• 4:59
  really
• 5:00
  nice
• 5:00
  fish
• 5:00
  and
• 5:01
  shout
• 5:02
  out
• 5:02
  to
• 5:02
  Hunter
• 5:02
  who
• 5:02
  probably
• 5:03
  won't
• 5:03
  listen
• 5:03
  to
• 5:03
  this,
• 5:03
  but
• 5:05
  Client
• 5:06
  who's
• 5:06
  just
• 5:06
  been
• 5:09
  a
• 5:09
  regular
• 5:09
  on
• 5:10
  the
• 5:10
  boat
• 5:10
  and
• 5:12
  as
• 5:12
  you
• 5:12
  know,
• 5:12
  as
• 5:13
  anyone
• 5:13
  who
• 5:13
  has
• 5:13
  fished
• 5:14
  with
• 5:14
  me
• 5:14
  knows,
• 5:17
  you
• 5:17
  got
• 5:17
  to
• 5:17
  do
• 5:18
  a
• 5:18
  lot
• 5:18
  of
• 5:18
  different
• 5:18
  stuff
• 5:19
  and
• 5:19
  you
• 5:19
  have
• 5:20
  to
• 5:20
  do
• 5:20
  it
• 5:20
  all
• 5:20
  together
• 5:21
  and
• 5:21
  you
• 5:21
  have
• 5:21
  to
• 5:22
  do
• 5:22
  it
• 5:22
  well
• 5:22
  and,
• 5:23
  and
• 5:23
  then
• 5:23
  you
• 5:23
  have
• 5:23
  to
• 5:23
  do
• 5:24
  it
• 5:24
  on
• 5:24
  a
• 5:25
  repeated
• 5:25
  basis.
• 5:27
  And
• 5:27
  that
• 5:28
  changes
• 5:28
  from
• 5:29
  frog
• 5:29
  water
• 5:30
  to
• 5:30
  fast
• 5:31
  water
• 5:31
  to
• 5:32
  this
• 5:32
  to
• 5:33
  that
• 5:34
  and,
• 5:34
  and
• 5:35
  we
• 5:35
  adjust
• 5:35
  as
• 5:35
  conditions
• 5:36
  change
• 5:36
  and
• 5:37
  the
• 5:37
  day
• 5:37
  wears
• 5:37
  on
• 5:38
  or
• 5:38
  you
• 5:38
  know,
• 5:39
  we're
• 5:39
  exploring
• 5:39
  one
• 5:40
  thing
• 5:40
  or
• 5:40
  another.
• 5:41
  And
• 5:43
  yeah,
• 5:44
  he
• 5:44
  just,
• 5:44
  he
• 5:44
  had,
• 5:46
  he
• 5:46
  had
• 5:46
  good
• 5:47
  conditions
• 5:47
  and
• 5:48
  that,
• 5:48
  that
• 5:48
  frog
• 5:49
  water,
• 5:49
  that
• 5:49
  slack
• 5:50
  water
• 5:50
  is
• 5:51
  just,
• 5:51
  it's
• 5:51
  100%
• 5:52
  on
• 5:53
  you.
• 5:53
  You
• 5:53
  don't
• 5:55
  making
• 5:55
  your
• 5:55
  fly
• 5:55
  look
• 5:56
  like
• 5:56
  it's
• 5:56
  moving
• 5:56
  fast.
• 5:58
  So
• 5:58
  fishing
• 5:58
  a
• 5:59
  big
• 5:59
  drunk
• 5:59
  and
• 5:59
  just
• 6:01
  force
• 6:01
  this
• 6:02
  big
• 6:02
  fish
• 6:02
  out.
• 6:05
  I
• 6:05
  think
• 6:05
  I
• 6:05
  had
• 6:06
  moved
• 6:06
  that
• 6:06
  one
• 6:06
  maybe
• 6:07
  two
• 6:07
  weeks
• 6:07
  ago.
• 6:07
  So
• 6:08
  I
• 6:08
  was,
• 6:09
  I'm
• 6:09
  not
• 6:09
  going
• 6:09
  to
• 6:10
  call
• 6:10
  it,
• 6:10
  I'M
• 6:10
  not
• 6:10
  going
• 6:10
  to
• 6:10
  sit
• 6:10
  here
• 6:11
  and
• 6:11
  say,
• 6:11
  oh,
• 6:11
  there,
• 6:11
  you
• 6:11
  know,
• 6:11
  there's
• 6:12
  a
• 6:12
  fish.
• 6:12
  Because
• 6:13
  if
• 6:13
  I
• 6:13
  did
• 6:13
  that
• 6:13
  all
• 6:13
  day
• 6:14
  it
• 6:14
  would
• 6:14
  start
• 6:14
  to
• 6:14
  be
• 6:14
  boy
• 6:15
  who
• 6:15
  cries
• 6:15
  wolf.
• 6:15
  But
• 6:17
  man,
• 6:17
  he
• 6:17
  just
• 6:18
  had
• 6:18
  a
• 6:18
  cast
• 6:18
  in
• 6:18
  a
• 6:18
  great
• 6:19
  spot,
• 6:20
  stuck
• 6:20
  them
• 6:21
  and
• 6:22
  one
• 6:22
  about
• 6:22
  26
• 6:23
  and
• 6:23
  a
• 6:23
  half,
• 6:23
  just
• 6:23
  under
• 6:24
  26
• 6:24
  and
• 6:24
  a
• 6:24
  half
• 6:25
  inches.
• 6:25
  So
• 6:27
  had
• 6:29
  just
• 6:29
  consistently
• 6:30
  having
• 6:30
  some
• 6:30
  good,
• 6:31
  good
• 6:31
  run
• 6:31
  ins
• 6:32
  with
• 6:32
  that
• 6:32
  class
• 6:32
  of
• 6:32
  fish.
• 6:35
  So
• 6:36
  there's,
• 6:36
  you
• 6:37
  know,
• 6:38
  we're
• 6:38
  not
• 6:39
  taking
• 6:39
  breaks
• 6:39
  as
• 6:40
  often
• 6:40
  to,
• 6:40
  to
• 6:41
  hit
• 6:41
  risers,
• 6:41
  but
• 6:42
  we
• 6:42
  do
• 6:42
  have
• 6:42
  that.
• 6:44
  Yeah.
• 6:44
  And
• 6:44
  you
• 6:44
  still
• 6:44
  got
• 6:45
  some
• 6:45
  kind
• 6:45
  of
• 6:45
  post
• 6:46
  Helene
• 6:46
  stain
• 6:46
  in
• 6:47
  the
• 6:47
  water
• 6:47
  and
• 6:47
  you
• 6:47
  got
• 6:47
  mousing
• 6:48
  too,
• 6:48
  right?
• 6:49
  Yeah,
• 6:50
  yeah,
• 6:51
  all
• 6:51
  good
• 6:51
  things.
• 6:53
  And
• 6:53
  mousing
• 6:54
  will,
• 6:55
  you
• 6:56
  know,
• 6:56
  as
• 6:56
  discussed
• 6:56
  last
• 6:57
  time,
• 6:57
  it's
• 6:59
  sun
• 6:59
  going
• 6:59
  down
• 7:00
  a
• 7:01
  little
• 7:01
  earlier
• 7:01
  each
• 7:01
  day,
• 7:02
  so
• 7:03
  we
• 7:03
  have
• 7:04
  more
• 7:04
  time
• 7:05
  for
• 7:05
  mousing
• 7:05
  and
• 7:06
  less
• 7:06
  food
• 7:06
  moving
• 7:07
  through
• 7:07
  the
• 7:07
  system.
• 7:08
  So,
• 7:12
  yeah,
• 7:12
  fishing's
• 7:13
  been
• 7:13
  good
• 7:13
  and
• 7:16
  there's
• 7:16
  so
• 7:16
  many.
• 7:17
  I,
• 7:17
  I
• 7:17
  always
• 7:17
  like
• 7:17
  that.
• 7:18
  I
• 7:19
  sort
• 7:19
  of
• 7:19
  laugh
• 7:20
  at
• 7:20
  myself
• 7:20
  thinking
• 7:20
  that
• 7:22
  it
• 7:22
  could
• 7:22
  just
• 7:22
  start
• 7:22
  sleeping
• 7:23
  right
• 7:23
  now
• 7:23
  and
• 7:24
  I,
• 7:24
  I
• 7:24
  would,
• 7:26
  I
• 7:26
  could
• 7:26
  quickly
• 7:26
  come
• 7:27
  up
• 7:27
  with
• 7:27
  three
• 7:27
  or
• 7:27
  four
• 7:27
  different
• 7:28
  reasons
• 7:28
  why
• 7:28
  the
• 7:28
  bite's
• 7:29
  going
• 7:29
  to
• 7:29
  turn
• 7:29
  on.
• 7:31
  But
• 7:31
  yeah,
• 7:32
  there's.
• 7:33
  Every
• 7:33
  season
• 7:34
  there's
• 7:34
  some
• 7:34
  good
• 7:34
  stuff
• 7:35
  to
• 7:35
  be
• 7:35
  excited
• 7:35
  for.
• 7:35
  You
• 7:36
  know,
• 7:36
  November,
• 7:37
  December
• 7:38
  and
• 7:38
  maybe
• 7:38
  start
• 7:38
  in
• 7:39
  October.
• 7:39
  I'm
• 7:39
  going
• 7:39
  to
• 7:39
  be
• 7:39
  starting
• 7:40
  to
• 7:40
  push
• 7:40
  towards
• 7:40
  muskie
• 7:41
  and
• 7:41
  I
• 7:41
  might
• 7:42
  already
• 7:42
  throw
• 7:42
  that
• 7:42
  out
• 7:42
  there,
• 7:43
  but
• 7:44
  mousey
• 7:44
  muskie
• 7:44
  on
• 7:44
  the
• 7:44
  horizon.
• 7:45
  Streamer
• 7:46
  bites
• 7:46
  high
• 7:46
  right
• 7:46
  now.
• 7:47
  Still
• 7:47
  have
• 7:47
  some
• 7:47
  of
• 7:48
  that
• 7:48
  stain.
• 7:49
  Got
• 7:49
  a
• 7:49
  tropical
• 7:50
  storm
• 7:51
  system
• 7:51
  brewing
• 7:52
  south
• 7:52
  of
• 7:52
  us,
• 7:53
  so
• 7:56
  not
• 7:57
  a
• 7:57
  bad
• 7:57
  place
• 7:57
  to
• 7:57
  be.
• 7:58
  Yeah,
• 7:59
  absolutely.
• 7:59
  You
• 7:59
  know,
• 8:00
  it's
• 8:00
  kind
• 8:00
  of
• 8:00
  funny
• 8:00
  too.
• 8:00
  I
• 8:00
  was
• 8:01
  looking
• 8:01
  at
• 8:01
  an
• 8:01
  article
• 8:01
  and
• 8:02
  at
• 8:02
  our
• 8:02
  latitude,
• 8:03
  we're
• 8:03
  going
• 8:03
  to
• 8:03
  lose
• 8:04
  50
• 8:04
  minutes
• 8:04
  of
• 8:05
  daylight
• 8:05
  this
• 8:05
  month.
• 8:07
  We
• 8:08
  may
• 8:08
  have
• 8:08
  been
• 8:08
  hit
• 8:08
  with
• 8:09
  the
• 8:09
  same
• 8:10
  algorithm,
• 8:12
  but
• 8:12
  yeah,
• 8:15
  it
• 8:16
  happens
• 8:16
  fast
• 8:17
  end
• 8:17
  of
• 8:17
  July
• 8:18
  or
• 8:18
  sorry,
• 8:19
  end
• 8:19
  of
• 8:19
  June
• 8:19
  happens
• 8:20
  fast
• 8:20
  and
• 8:21
  all
• 8:21
  of
• 8:21
  a
• 8:21
  sudden
• 8:21
  July's
• 8:22
  over
• 8:22
  and
• 8:25
  you
• 8:25
  know,
• 8:25
  August
• 8:26
  doesn't.
• 8:26
  I
• 8:26
  hate
• 8:26
  to
• 8:26
  be
• 8:27
  the,
• 8:27
  the
• 8:28
  school
• 8:28
  teacher
• 8:28
  or
• 8:29
  parent
• 8:29
  that
• 8:29
  I
• 8:30
  just
• 8:30
  despised
• 8:31
  when
• 8:31
  I
• 8:32
  was
• 8:32
  a
• 8:32
  kid,
• 8:32
  but
• 8:33
  you,
• 8:34
  you
• 8:34
  start
• 8:34
  to
• 8:34
  get
• 8:35
  the
• 8:35
  feeling,
• 8:35
  you
• 8:35
  know,
• 8:35
  4:00pm
• 8:36
  that
• 8:37
  the,
• 8:37
  the
• 8:37
  light
• 8:37
  outside
• 8:38
  in
• 8:38
  the
• 8:39
  late
• 8:39
  afternoon
• 8:39
  is,
• 8:40
  it
• 8:40
  doesn't
• 8:41
  look
• 8:41
  the
• 8:41
  same
• 8:42
  as
• 8:42
  it
• 8:42
  did
• 8:42
  a
• 8:42
  month
• 8:43
  ago.
• 8:43
  So
• 8:46
  nothing
• 8:47
  is,
• 8:48
  there's
• 8:49
  too
• 8:49
  many
• 8:49
  metaphors
• 8:49
  in
• 8:50
  fishing.
• 8:50
  But
• 8:50
  yeah,
• 8:51
  it's,
• 8:52
  things
• 8:52
  are
• 8:52
  different
• 8:52
  today
• 8:53
  than
• 8:53
  they
• 8:53
  were
• 8:53
  yesterday
• 8:54
  and
• 8:54
  they're
• 8:54
  going
• 8:54
  to
• 8:54
  be
• 8:54
  different
• 8:54
  tomorrow.
• 8:55
  And
• 8:56
  you
• 8:56
  should
• 8:56
  have
• 8:56
  been
• 8:56
  here
• 8:56
  yesterday.
• 8:58
  You
• 8:58
  should
• 8:59
  have
• 8:59
  seen
• 8:59
  them.
• 8:59
  Oh
• 9:00
  man,
• 9:00
  they
• 9:00
  were
• 9:00
  eating
• 9:01
  yesterday.
• 9:02
  Well,
• 9:03
  you
• 9:03
  know,
• 9:03
  folks,
• 9:03
  we
• 9:03
  love,
• 9:04
  we
• 9:05
  love
• 9:05
  questions
• 9:05
  on
• 9:05
  the
• 9:06
  articulate
