And then the, you know, the days paid for. Um, we just recently did our first overnight trip. We really don't travel out more than about three hours from our home. We're not somebody that goes all around the United States. Um, but you know, if we want to go down to southern Missouri, go four wheeling, you know, we'll hit some stores down there while we're in the area just, and the trips paid for. But we were careful not to make the whole trip a working trip. At least a Katie's good about keeping me in check on that. Cause I can get, I can get going on Ra and not want to stop. But, um, it, it's, it's fun to just know that, you know, hey, we're traveling here. We can stop at this area. You know, if there's a Walmart or a Tj Maxx in. And, and hit those stores real quick. And, and, you know, pay for your trip. Cool voice guy: 00:01:07 Well, we focus on the people, the products and the process of ecommerce selling today. Is he your host Stephen Peterson.
