Well made a rookie mistake this morning and forgot to check that the mute was off on the cams, so even though I have video, its a silent movie. I have asked Larry S. if he would post today's departure video.

Well to compound my issue, Larry had the feed freeze on him, so what I am going to do is post the "silent movie" version of the departure so we will have something.
