Come on. I grew up with some family friends that have this ranch that I absolutely love.

We go hunting and fishing and there's horses. We just look at them. We don't really ride them.

But we play frisbee golf and then we even played pickleball. Like growing up, hard to believe, but

pickleball isn't new. I don't know if you realize this.

Like, we played it before it was cool. And we just fell in love with this ranch. And over time,

we ended up one at some, once we were old enough, we started working at this ranch. And so we

we start working at this ranch in the summers and high school and and parts of college and every summer

we're just we're busting tail you know we're we're we're clearing brush we're feeding cattle we're

uh building things fixing things learning how to build things learning how to fix things some of you

might be surprised i know there is a cowboy version of dale all right not just athleisure dale there's a cowboy version of Dale, all right? Not just athleisure Dale, there's a cowboy Dale.

And one of the things that we were tasked with as we worked at this ranch, and even as we were hanging out at this ranch, is that it was our task to keep hogs off the property.

Because hogs would come in and they would just cause more work.

You know, they would ruin things. They'd mess up fences. They'd ruin the vegetation for the

animals and all these different things. And so we were tasked with keeping hogs away.

And part of the way that we kept track of the hogs is there are these game cameras that

were all around the property

that are really for deer, to know when the deer are there, for people to hunt deer.

But every time there was movement on the game camera, it would take a picture and it would go,

ding, ding, ding. And so we just learned, like, okay, hey, when there's a ding, we got to go check the game camera.

We got to go see if there's hogs. Because if there's hogs, we need to go get rid of the hogs.

Like, we need to go run them off. We get in the buggy and go get rid of the hogs. And that was really what we were tasked to do. And as we did that, like over time, both for fun and really as we worked there, that task just became a part of who I was. Like I just was constantly listening for this ding. Like we'd be going about our day. It doesn't matter what we were doing. We were eating lunch. at dinner we were playing ping pong we'd hear a ding oh snap okay the ding we got to go check the

ding and i start with that it sounds silly but but i really i start with that this morning
