That's Brian. Let's give a big round of applause to Brian for, like, hammering out these last two months of spoke pen shipments. He crushed it. It's been a long process. I know we're both happy it is done. But the last of the Kickstarter spoke pens shipped out yesterday. He is very relieved. I am very relieved for him because he did the lion's share of the work of the assembly and shipping for this. So, thank you, Brian, for sticking with this and fighting through all the challenges that we had during this campaign. And thanks to everyone who supported us and was patient with us. The feedback has been out of this world. Like, it's been, like, even beyond Brian and mine's wildest dreams of what people think about the pen when they get it in hand. So, I'm very happy about that. But, so, now we're going to take, we have a call this afternoon. I don't have dates or times for when they're going to be available on the site. But we're going to talk about that. But it's not going to be imminent because we're going to take some time to build up some inventory before going live with that. So, how long that will be, I don't know. It will be before Christmas sometimes. But, you know, it could be a, we might just take a month to just build so we have inventory to ship instead of the other way around. Instead of selling and then having to build to meet all the sales. So, stay tuned. Follow SpokePen online, all the socials. And we'll let you know when they're ready to roll. Also, I got the second to last shipment of Burton pen cases in. The A5 pouch that we did for the Kickstarter. That project is done. But I knew I'd have about 100 left over to sell directly. It's going to be a problem selling these because they're just going to, we have way more people wanting them than I have inventory. So, I'm just going to put them out through the newsletter. You should sign up to the <del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">NOC </del>newsletter. And I don't know what day it's going to happen. It won't be this week. I will tell you that right now. Um, but next week I'll probably have an email one day in the afternoon to try to get through, to try to allow as many people to buy them as possible. But there's going to be some upset folks because, uh, to pat ourself on the back, just like I did with SpokePen, this design really resonated with people. Um, I'm very happy with it. Jeff is very happy with it. And our customers are very happy with it. I'm very happy too. So, we'll do some more next year at some point. But for this style, this model, um, it will, uh, it, it, I, there will be like a hundred and I know that's going to be a problem. But, you know, it is what it is. That's kind of, uh, you know, that's kind of how this one wrapped up. But, uh, I'm thrilled with it. So, we'll get those out probably next week.

So, Yagen at Macchiato Man also did the same thing. Did a hundred swabs and broke down the naming numbering convention as best as possible. So, if you want to figure out why they're numbered, how they're numbered, he takes a crack at it. Because it's not official, right? He just, he basically sorted it out as best as he could. And it made a lot of sense. But, yeah, you'll have to go read that. And we'll put the link in the show notes. Because these are two great resources for these inks. And that's what I used to pick out these swabs. I had both their sites pulled up. And I just kind of scrolled through and looked at, if I was on one site, I'd find a color that interested me. Then I'd go to the other site to see if they kind of had the same representation of the swab. And if I felt that that was like a good choice for me. So, out of these ink colors I picked, I wrote down five. I came home with four of them. So, 450 is a purple. 767 is a bright green. 941 is kind of a tealish blue-black. And 773 is an orange. So, I sampled them on stream yesterday. And I love the 941. Which, shocker, is the blue-black with teal. That's what I have inked up in my 4AM. It has a lot of character when I was doing the swab. And then that was about it. I wasn't like head over heels with the rest of them. Which means I need to test them out more in pens. So, the 450 purple was a little bit brighter than I was thinking was going to be. But it's really pretty. It's not as bright as something like Imperial purple. But I like a dustier purple.</div></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah.
