Welcome to AMR Answers, this is Sarah Bowen Shea.

And this is Dimitri McDowell. How's it going out there in August, Sarah?

It goes well, although we are staring down above 100 degree temperatures later this week.

Oh, yes. Hello, August, yes. August is just, it's always just a slap in the face, isn't it?

But that's except, it's exceptionally weird for Portland once again, so, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, but I stayed cool yesterday afternoon. I went stand-up paddleboarding.

Very fun. Yay. Who'd you go with? I went with Trisha, my running buddy, and she borrowed,

she has her own inflatable. I thought of you, Dim, because I remember you saying,

is it two years ago that you got yours at Costco? Last year, actually, right before the pandemic,

yeah, inflatable, but inflatable is the wrong word because they're so super sturdy, right?

They are, they are, but gosh, we, you know, we had a hand pump.

Yes, yes. It's a workout to get it to go, right?

It is. It is. And also, you know, Trisha was like, okay, pump it till it gets to eight, and it

wasn't moving for the longest time. Yeah, yeah, totally. And then you're like, and I just got

to get just a green. Yeah, mine has a little thing where it's like the level between one and two,

and like one is like easier pumps, and then you switch it to two to kind of like finish the job,

and so like those twos are hard. Yeah, yeah. And then you get out there and you're like, okay,

ready to get in now. Cool off. No, I was seriously first firing before we even got near the water.
