0:00.0	Yeah, no idea what we're going to talk about today. Just hit record. We have nothing, literally nothing. So thanks for being with us. We've run out of ideas. Yeah, always. Well, I mean, I'll go first. So since we recorded last week, we were talking about the snow and stuff, right? And then the snow came. That was on a
0:23.7	Wednesday. This is on a Wednesday. The snow came on a Friday or Saturday or something. We ended
0:28.6	up getting probably, I don't know exactly the total, but it was five to eight inches with a bunch

1:17.7	Right.
1:18.3	Which is really annoying because sometimes it snows within a couple days, it starts to evaporate, if nothing else, helps it like the weather, warming up or the rain.

1:32.1	And I have to walk across the field to the chickens and the entire walk.
