We picked up this week without a real agenda and so we just went for it. We had a couple topics written down that we picked up on within the episode like 2020 code updates but we meander around quite a bit. Greg complains more than usual and more than is welcomed, and Pete takes credit for things he didn't do, which is typical Wire Nuts fodder.Follow us on instagram@WireNutsPodcast
