Good morning, everybody. It's Friday. We're going to keep it light today. There's enough going on in the world. People are

celebrating in some places, taking a deep breath and others. So we're going to go light the forecast for today. Light with a chance of Sassy. Before we get into that, let's talk a little bit here about Spartan Forge.

If you haven't heard me talk about them, well, then you are missing out.

It's deep in the hunting season right now.

And for hunters, you probably have heard of this tool or similar tools that are in the market.

This thing, though, my opinion, does far more than some of the competitors.

I mean, you can look at property lines on just about every app at this point.

Terrain contour features.

You can look at that stuff.

What has made the difference for me, and I talked about this in terms of the way I've been using this for aviation, is the LIDAR.

And the ability to look at terrain by stripping away essentially, these are my words, not a technical description,

stripping away the foliage so you can see the terrain underneath and get an idea of what

you're actually getting into. It sucks to plan a route and then realize that it is almost

impassable due to terrain that you were unable to see. So again, based in the hunting application world,

but there are just features essentially like a Blue Force tracker

where you can share pins and boundaries and look at where your friends are,

what they're doing, check in with each other, you know what I mean?

Stuff, again, designed in the hunting world, but could be used for things far outside of that.

And like I mentioned, I think in last Friday's introduction, had an engineering company

reached out to me talking about how they're going to be giving it to their surveyors for

their initial assessments.

So yeah, it might be based in hunting, but I use it for just about anything but.
