Hello. Today Julia's dropped by to see what's going on at Jersey Jack Pinball and we started talking about the Hobbit of course and different artwork that will be applied here and we talked about the decal, what a decal is, and then we talked about something we're calling Ridiculously Awesome Decals. So it's going to be called Rad Cal. So it's rad. It's Ridiculously awesome decal and that's the name and we're trademarking that name and that's what these will become known as and what do you have there Julius? I guess you call this a traditional pinball cabinet decal. Okay so it's a print on paper. Yep everybody knows what this is this is a you know heavy heavy stabilized ink on nice thick vinyl material and this is the Smaug artwork, the gold Smaug artwork. And then I'll get that out of the way and hold up one of these there, Joe. Okay, so it's a lot thicker. You can't really fold them up, roll them up. It's back printed and it has glue on the back if you peel that, right? And we'll be putting them on. I guess they could be put on in the aftermarket as well. So if we take a couple of these out of the way, and you hold this one up and see what that one is. So you get a little bit better idea. The durability of it, the finish of it, the thickness of it, and you lose me behind it, so I'm out of the picture. So that's what it is. It's called our ridiculously awesome decals. Radcal. Radcal. Thank you.
