Chase, how you doing, man?

Good, good.

I'm good.

It's been excellent weather out here in San Diego, 72 and sunny the last two days.

So we dealt with a little bit of rain, which is not anything what you're dealing with, just freezing cold.

But I feel like when it's sunny

and it's nice outside, my mood just skyrocket. So I don't think I could ever live in the Midwest again. Like that weather, it's just, it's 72 and sunny in San Diego. I know we talk about a lot, but I'm looking at my window and I'm like, I can't wait to. Yeah, you have to always talk about it because it's the benefit of living there.

It's like one of those,

it's the selling point of being there.

It's the main selling point. Totally. My wife, I think it was maybe Saturday. We were getting up and it was whatever, 8 a.m. And she looked outside and there was just another cloudy, just sunless day. Drury day.

She's like, I can't do it anymore.

She's like, this is that.

I'm getting to my breaking point without the sun. She's from Miami. So, and she went a couple weekends ago. And she's very resentful that I'm going to Las Vegas for eight days. Even though it's not even that nice in Vegas right now, it's going to be like 60 degrees. but the fact that there might be a shot at some sun and it won't be 35 and rainy as she's trying to take the dog out, she's very mad at me. But we're going to Mexico in like two weeks. So it's all going to be okay. That'll be great. And well, the thing about Chicago specifically is, I mean, you could get freezing days in May. So you guys are in for the long haul, man, like four more months of it. So maybe three more months of it.
