Can you pass me a couple for the old man?

Yes.

Shoo!

Shoo!

Huh?!

Hey!

Nice of you to join us.

Can we please not have that thing at the table?

Mom, can I have a soda?

How come tais tais can drink it?

Where is he?

In the garden.

Dee, can you tell your dad to come eat with us?

Mornin', Lue!

Morning!

You know, breakfast is ready.

Excellent.

I'll be right there.

Everything's working fine how we have it.

Yeah, but

this is way more efficient and

the new timer's gonna make things a lot easier

for Niam .

There's coffee.

Hey.

Can I ask you why you're not taking Mom

to the khi tes ?

Uh, I have plans?

And she can go with Auntie Ka.

Okay.

You know, she's embarrassed to go without you.

Like I said

I have plans.

I'm just concerned about her.

She didn't eat anything this morning.

She never has a big breakfast.

Just

go for Mom.

Whatever you say, Boss Lady.

Hey, Lue!

Come see me when you got a sec?

You been out on the river lately?

The water's still high, but I've got a few spots.

That's good.

That's good!

You know, uh

you've been here a long time...

Maybe you've been hearing about some of the fiscal

issues at the university.

So ...

Come on.

Sorry, sir.

Gosh, I hired a new guy on Thursday.

Yeah.

Wish you'd called last week.

It's all good.

Hey, how's your mom?

She is such a cutie.

Half day.

One

two

three

four...

Hey, uh, is Uncle inside?

Hey!

Yeah, go ahead.

There are already more than 20 fires,

threatening a million acres across the West.

Ongoing drought and unseasonably...

Smoke from these fires can travel thousands of

miles.

Haze from Oregon's six-week...

Yeah, you get tags for Idaho and Montana

- so we can go back and forth. - Right, doesn't matter

which side you shoot on, you're still good.

Yeah, it could be on either side, you're like, I wish

I had a tag on this side but I can't do anything about it.

- 'Sup, bro? - Oh, dang, man!

How have you been?

- Geez... - I'm good, I'm good.

It's been a long time, man!

Yeah!

- Wow! - Long time no see!

- It's been forever! - Yeah!

What have you been up to?

Nothin', not much.

Hey, uh

congratulations, on the new baby.

Oh, yeah! Thanks, man.

Yep, August.

August baby.

Yeah, uh

I think we tried for, like, two years with in vitro.

Wow.

Finally went to the shaman

and it worked!

Just like that, man!

Yeah. Pretty cool.

So, Lue, I heard you were talking to

- a Minnesota girl. - Dude, you need to talk

to your aunts, they got the hookup back in Laos.

We'll all end up there eventually, especially us

- single guys. - Alright, knock it off...

- How's morel season? - It's good money.

- Yeah? - Easy money, like 2 to 3

- thousand dollars a weekend. - What?! Damn.

Gonna make some bank!

Where at?

Man, if he told you, he'd probably have to kill you!

He told me.

Don't tell anyone, though.

Yeah, there's, like, a little secret spot...

Shht!

Shoo!

Go on!

Get outta here!

Yep, have a nice day.

Come on.

Come on! Kwusm!

You're such a good boy.

Can you hear me?

Good.

Yeah, yeah, how are... how are things?

Good, that's good.
