Default Gyros on National Geographic Channel Tonight

I just saw that tonight, 1AM, Pacific Time, the National Geographic Channel series Mad Scientists has an episode of Gyro Jake Jim Bowler (I believe that's what the descriptio said) from Florida.

I don't know if there's an earlier or later showing but definitely TIVO it.

This isn't the first time this has been on NatGeo. It was on SEVERAL months ago. As a matter of fact it was this very show that brought gyros to my attention. I had vaguely known about them for years. Yet it was this very program that really caught me and sucked me in.

Thank You T8ter St8er, this is an affirmation of my positive input in the gyro world. Even though I've received thousands of e-mails and many face book hits , was even given a flying boat by a fan of the show,but never had the feeling I've introduced someone to the sport. Knowing I've actually influenced one person into the gyro sport has made the effort worth the time.
Hope your future in gyros is as fun for you as it has been for me.
