Good afternoon. Hi guys
Mike Brooks
Hi Reed.
Reed Anderson –D. A. Davidson & Co
Hey, nice job. A couple questions, Mike is curious, that the pick up you talked about in particularly probably aided by weather, but you showed in hunting work and western, but from a timing to the employ, we just say those kind of mid way through the quarter or even later or the sooner than that?
Mike Brooks
Well, I believe we didn’t quite realize it midway through the quarter to late in the third quarter, but I think it was evident to us here in the last 10 days which is really in the fourth quarter, but we've been we have an impressive talk about our sales such a long time and to be frank with you we feel a little momentum, but we’re afraid to get too excited about it, but it did repeat itself again in the last 10 days two weeks.
Reed Anderson –D. A. Davidson & Co
I understood that's good and then also relate that, to the extent that whether it's weather or whether it's just ultimately demand and takes up who knows, but what is your ability to fulfill that I mean you're talking a little more secular position now or you just not wind to do next year what's your thought on that hope?
Mike Brooks
We are not as you saw our inventories are down and our borrowings are down and we believe our regional partners are very lean on inventory as well. So nobody is taking especially the position on inventory including us. So, we'll probably miss in sales that we may a gotten in the part but?
Reed Anderson –D. A. Davidson & Co
But you get before margin on what's?
Mike Brooks
We will get better margin and we’ll feel better about our borrowing in our interest rate. So we put on the right thing.
Reed Anderson –D. A. Davidson & Co
Okay, that makes sense. And then just a couple more, on the Lehigh the retail business, I mean we've seen on last two quarters as similar in level I mean that we the sense that we've kind a stabilized them not even see it kind a take up a little or is just too early to tell. What you think?
