• 2:41
  Speaker 3: It's a mess out there, but thanks for putting up with it we're such a tease.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: They've been saying that for how many years now Nine years and counting there you go and it is still all tore up, especially in with the walls of death, trying to come out this way because there's no way to go.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: The bowling alley.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they found the bowling alley bowling alley they found some rare bird or frog or insect or something in the water and that's what delayed the construction.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: That's great, but now it's okay to run over the whatever, the frog or the, it's okay Go on.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: They found another one someplace else that we can this?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: we can die.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: They're really good with Hollandaise sauce.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: There's that butter poach.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm going to tease something that we're going to try at the top of the hour, but you're in on this too.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, but we're going to talk about other things right now because, you know, I've noticed that there are fewer and fewer Every time we come here.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: There are fewer and fewer cars in here.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm getting old and it's time to thin things out a little bit, you're not?
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: thinning anything out, you just moving them out to another barn and replacing is what it is.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: It's got to find space for the other stuff he's collecting.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, shelly and Diane make me clean up my mess.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I get all all this stuff and it'll be piled up like a kid's dirty closet and they make me clean it up.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: I just move it to another spot Go out.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Because I'm thinking you hear this many cars as they're normally are in here.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Well, he's got a function going on, I know, and you do that, I guess, on a regular basis don't you, we move them out.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: If we get a lot of people in here, we'll move out.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: But this, this these are the cars.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: There's one car.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: It's missing right now.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Wait, it goes right over there.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: No, my car is still back there in the back.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: There's an orange superbeat from the very back, that's we've been driving in here.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Really yeah.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Where you've been driving it to.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Westbury.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: You have not.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Don't tease me with that.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: He walks in.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, I had some of your friends over here last week.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I said, who would that be?
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, some people from Westbury High School.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Pre-release prison is what?
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: it was exactly.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I was afraid to mention any names, right.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: No, never mind, Don't, don't even bring up Don, I'm strong.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: No, don't, don't do that.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Well, it's great to have invited ourselves out here.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: We thank, we thank we thank you for that.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: We're always glad to have you, so don't ever hesitate glad to have you.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: So what's the newest addition out here?
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: You're always Well, okay, so you notice that boats up there propped up.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: I noticed that's new made in 1930.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: It's a main made in Maine and it's called a freight canoe, like to scoot items from island to island or whatever.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Just tell you something and you can, you can, relate to this.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Probably none of buddy else came, but you know, back in the day, back in our day, yes, back in high school, he used to be a cologne called canoe.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, I remember, do you?
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Canoe, canoe, canoe.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Do you remember that?
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Forgot all about it.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: You got a memory, like an elephant.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Tell her that's a big canoe.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: That's a big canoe you see how wide it is is for moving freight.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: And someone just told me that for Maine said that's a freight canoe thought it was the mother-in-law I thought it was a skiff or something.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Do you have an opportunity?
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Where do you have an opportunity?
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Was it move freight that you can get into a canoe?
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Now I guess really the question is, what's the definition of freight?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Because that to me is not freightable.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Well, in other words, on the coast to Maine there's a lot of small islands.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: They would just in the old days they would run stuff out.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can take a 24-pack toilet paper stuff like that and put it on.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think back and it was more like Beaver pelt and salt and things, the staples of getting you through that.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Well, again, it was 1931.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Only somebody from Detroit would know that.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah absolutely yeah, we had those all the time.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: In the Detroit River.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: But we do have some other things that we brought in here.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Right here at the front door We've got a 1916 Harley Davidson dealership sign in pristine condition.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: It's cardboard, it's framed, it's in an outstanding condition, and we also have a firestone sign out there, this Coca-Cola sign behind the lights here is 1937, that one up there, the neon up there, yep, and so that's new.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: There's always something we got going on it.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was talking to your Restorer, bill Prokrowebek, who's standing back there, and he was.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I said so how do you, how do you?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: He's got a whole building back there full of stuff that waiting for his touch.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, so how do you decide?
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: He says, well, I work on this for a while and then I can't figure something out or I get tired of it or get frustrated with it and I'll move over to something else.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: And then, once he gets back on track with that thing, they don't work on that symbol, sure.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: So he's got lots of projects going on at the same time, right, right.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: Truggling all of them, oh yeah.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, you know some things can get pretty frustrating at times, but he's pretty good at knocking stuff out.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: I know you know it really is.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: He does a lot.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of Bill's touches in this building, for sure.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Well, clearly we are very well aware of that.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I love the cabinet that he built that's in the men's restroom, out of nuts and bolts and wrenches and all sorts of things.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's brilliant, pretty handy.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: All that furniture and stuff, cool yeah.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you got it in here, because it must weigh up a bajillion pounds.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: It's not as heavy as it looks, but anyway, it is a little heavy, but not bad.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very nice.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: When you're and I'm going to call it shopping I don't know that it's necessarily shopping, but when you're out looking for new things for the place, do you already have a location inside the building kind of selected?
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: I can answer that.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: No.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: Or is it just you get it and then you got to figure out where to?
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: put it.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Sometimes we if we, if it's a round sign, we've got places to put it, no problem.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: But if it's something big Bill just finished doing a big Mack Truck Bulldog, 13 and a half feet wide, 11 and a half feet tall porcelain neon sign.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: So we're going to have to take some things down on the end of the building down there to put this gigantic bulldog up and we'll have to do some surgery in here.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: So it's getting cozy and a little bit difficult to squeeze more things in.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: I think we're getting close to now.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Now we're trying to bring in things that are really significant or quality and then maybe upgrade not necessarily add more stuff, but there's still room to hang Thanks.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Are you selling stuff?
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're starting to sell some things too.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fun too, is it?
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, is it all online?
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: No, we pretty much everybody knows us and we all sell and trade.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: And well, like today, there'll be a bunch of people go to bill shop and we'll have a bunch of stuff for sale, things we've taken down that we started with and upgraded, and so it ends up in any shop and he's got a bunch of stuff to sell.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: So amazing.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's gotten to the point now where you're upgrading and we thought there was quality stuff to begin with.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Well, in other words, like if you have a Philip 66 or Shell or Texaco a lot of that stuff's commonplace and you can or Coca-Cola, you can jam it with all kinds of code.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: I don't want to put too much of one thing.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: And now the rare things.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: You'll see things like Texas Pacific or that Idaho gasoline.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Those are sure enough rare items there.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: You know, like the pure oil, that's very common.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: The sky chief sign is no big deal about that.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Idaho chief gasoline yes, that's new, that's new, that's right, that's fairly new.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Thank you that I noticed.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, so see that the chief gasoline there was Washington gasoline, oregon and Montana gasoline, and Idaho is the rarest of the four.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: There were fewer Idaho chief gas lanes than all the rest.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Washington would be the most common, oregon would be next, montana third, idaho fourth.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: How do you, how do you learn that stuff?
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Well, in a circle it's kind of like your craft.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: You know, use us, learn that in, and you at first you make a bunch of mistakes and you buy things you shouldn't buy, or buy things from people you shouldn't buy from, and you learn, and, okay, you take your weapon and you keep on rolling down the road Right, so it's not always a home run.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: So it's relatively a tight knit community of people that are selling these things and you guys kind of chitchat amongst yourselves to find out who's got the unique and quality stuff, and then you chitchat about who's got the junk that he's pointing off as unique and quality stuff.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, people talk kind of and we also go to auction.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: So for instance, if I kick the bucket, Diane's going to load all this stuff up.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: It's going to go to Pennsylvania or wherever and get sold.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: So normally when you buy the rare stuff, it's somebody has died or gotten a divorce or he pointed at you.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't do it or I wasn't my fault or has had some kind of financial calamity.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: Tell us more about your wonderful wife.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: We're we're still working on it.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah wives.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: How long have you been married?
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: 51 years on, going on 52.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I was but a child.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, we all were at that time.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: But so we all high school, grow up boyfriend.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: No, she grew up in the Hill Country Blanco, Texas, and I'm from Houston.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Well, how did you do for the big city?
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Well, I ran to the Hill Country and went into town, you know that goes.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, don't, don't, don't tell me.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: No, I already know the big city slicker in the super big yeah even though I didn't really know him, I know him.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: So Conrad came up with a good point.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Here I go up to Blanco, texas.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: We used to have a deer lease up there so we started going camping, me and my buddies, and then we go to town.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: So I drive in town hair down to here in a yellow super being.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: I went over like a lead balloon in Blanco, texas.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those red necks did not like me, yeah with the, the glass packs or the glass packs cherry bombs or something that you'd put on there there was really windows drive down and probably stuck a pair of headers on it with cutouts on it and did all that, I couldn't figure out how to put one of those gun racks in the back window.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: That super you know like you remember those days.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I do.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Everybody drove around went to school with guns in the back of the car.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was normal, that's normal.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: And you showed them off to everybody.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah no big deal and it wasn't a big deal.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Oh look, there's some red neck down going down there with the gun in the back window.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, gotta have some in the back window.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Might as well have a big gun, yeah, All right.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Well, there you have it.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: It was a different world back then.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Let's get back to the long hair, all right.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Do you have pictures of the long hair, John?
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I do indeed.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Well, we need to dig those out.
• 13:48

• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Diane.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's interesting that when you say that, then everybody jumps to their feet and they're going to go and dig out all the ones that you haven't seen in quite a while.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: It's ridiculous who you surround yourself by.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Believe me I know yeah.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I'm very well aware of it.
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he says that about us all the time.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: You know, and it's truly amazing, who you make friends with and those that have an impact on your life through the years.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Many of them just kind of come and go.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they come and go.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: But then there are those that last Bill Sites where are you?
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: He's not even listening, he's got his back to us Well see, I used to run with a bunch of guys like Don, but those guys had to go, you know after a while when I got to 21 years old, those guys got to be put on a show.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: You know they're all doing 7 to 12 up at the walls, the walls that's right.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, I flew over the walls, you didn't do not too long ago.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: That was interesting, see what you knew.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: No, not that I could recognize, stop and give anybody a lift.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: No, no, none of that.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: But I didn't realize that there were a lot of prisons up there.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: So, john, we still have a chance we could pick it up.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: It's got to be half a dozen of them up there.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 15:11

• 15:37
  Speaker 3: So I need to drive.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: You know, if you don't drive them they go to pot.

• 15:49
  Speaker 3: That's right, I'm getting lazy and old and they're not as important to drive.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: I imagine it attracts attention when you're out driving around in it.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Sure, just like the Oldsmobile.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: Everybody stops to look at it and take a picture of it and ask you questions about it.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because these days you can only get a white, black or silver car, you know, and if you got a yellow one or orange one or something, they'll stick out like a sort of thumb.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Well, he said he had four.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: There's one, two, three, four.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Mike, you're out.

• 16:23
  Speaker 1: That's right, and we're kind of looking and I haven't talked to Mars about this.
• 16:26

• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, now what year was that?
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: That was probably 1975 or six or something.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Look like the base player to Kansas, yeah Well.
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: Charles Manson yeah, that's what it was, charles.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Manson.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: It was more like him.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Anyway, uh-huh, I thought I was swinging the world by the tail, driving around at Super B, you know listening to.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Rolling Stones and Get Off my Cloud.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Yep, you know, yeah, anyway.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: Are you still doing that Jamming to the tunes?
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: with.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: Jensen Triaxles in the back.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: You still have those on an eight track somewhere.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: They're in the car.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: You're right, I do have some on eight tracks somewhere.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know where they are, but it's still my favorite music.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: You know, it's like these cars we all talk about.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: They're in your soul, whatever you drove young.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: And then the music we all listen to.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: So I still like the early Rolling Stones.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: You could care less about the late stuff or going to one of their concerts, so what would you think that I would be listening to in my 1965.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Corvair Tiny Bubbles, Some Chuck.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: Berry yeah.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Don Ho, don Ho, tiny, bubbles, yeah, don Ho.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I saw Don Ho in a TV show I think it was the Partridge family recently.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I was flipping channels and who's that guy?
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: And he stopped watching.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I had to and it was Don Ho.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: So you know, I wanted to talk briefly about this band of heathens and I mean that in a kind way oh, indeed, that you've collected here at the Hemi Hideout.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Some you knew before the hideout, I assume that's true, and others have kind of glommed on, like me, us, yeah.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: I'm grateful.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Well, and you know, it's interesting because and I was trying to share this with Leslie the fact that the car community has brought a different segment of my life great joy, and it still continues today.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: This car show, for instance, these guys, it's all because of cars.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a brotherhood indeed.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't trade our group.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: We've got like 30 people in our group more or less, and I wouldn't trade them for love or money.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: This has been the ride of our lives.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Inclusively, we all have ownership in Himmhy Hideout, we're proud of it, and so many people have contributed heart and soul.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Like my buddy Tom Queen here, we've traveled all over the United States and gathered up all this stuff.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: And Bill Sykes man, bill Prokopen you just go on on you guys.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: It really is a team effort.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Nobody whips the world by themselves.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: Well, and Sykes had mentioned when he was here earlier that it's a family, it's for you, it's not just friends.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: These people have all become an internal family for you in the way that you talk about them, you can hear that you're passionate about them and grateful that they're part of it, and one other thing that people enjoy is the network that brings people together is the car is the travel.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: it's the travel I mean.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: You could go everything from travel to car, to maintenance, to whatever.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: There aren't very many things left that people can glom onto that actually say this is what we wanna do, so it's an ongoing, everlasting community.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Sure we believe in.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: And when you walk in the door, have a warm reception.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: We try to engage with people who don't engage very well and when you leave, a warm exit when you leave.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: And this group is part of the success of Hemi-Hydrates, no question about it.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: I like having a certain personality in our group that will engage with people when they come in and it's not just to come in here and walk out and no one says a word to you.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: And then there's us.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: You're going what have I done?
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: How could?
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: these guys in the door, yeah, these more.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Well, I will say this that if it weren't for Bill Sides, I would have.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I would know you.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: And when he called me that day he said listen, I wanted to let you know that I'm working on this project.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Well, how many times have you heard that?
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: And in a car life, you got this guy that put a few signs up in his garage at the house and maybe put a six inch lift in there so you can get underneath the car, and that was his project.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I had no clue.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I had no clue what to.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: He wouldn't really expand on the definition of what this was.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: He says you're going to love it.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: He's a car guy through and through.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I think that you guys would really like each other and so it's okay.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: So the time came when I finally got the invite in the early days of the hideout and came out here and met you, and I felt a connection from the very beginning, and I think that all of us do, and everybody that comes out here, the people that know you.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: And the interesting thing about it is that you've become nationwide now.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: You've had interviews with some very famous people on television shows across the United States and I think that that comes through and I would imagine that you've probably gotten emails and letters and that sort of stuff from people that you don't even know.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Because of that, exposure.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: It's unbelievable.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: We get people from all over the world.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: It's a world society.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Now you know.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: But you're right, just the connections you make, the doors you open.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: You can't stop doing that.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: As long as you do it all your life.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: And the more you do it, the better off you are.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Did you have any idea that it would turn into this when you started building this?
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: This is gonna be a man cave.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: And then, okay, that's done, go do something else.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: And then people started coming and every day we do tours, monday through Friday at 9.30 to 11.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: And then one to 2.30, and just constant flow of people coming in here.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: Life is good.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and when that freeway gets done it's gonna be awesome.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if it ever gets done like you say.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: And when does the highway department say it's gonna be done?
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: They say it's gonna be January that our exit will be open.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: I saw this concrete there.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: They did not say what year.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: That's just it.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: January.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Come on man.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Well, hopefully it'll be.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: So our goal in the present moment is to get up.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Mr Mars is going to join us and we're gonna kind of do a little walk around and see how far we can get in the walk around in the next segment.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Is he good with that?
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: I wanna get this in before the people start.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: No, worries, no worries, they'll be coming soon, you'll get real busy here a little bit.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Talk about some of the highlights.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so we can go around and see some of the cars and some of the stuff that's on the walls and that sort of stuff.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Very good, all right, thank you, john Hope sees the curator.
