Howdy, partners? I did some hikings, kayaking, a little bit of whitewater rafting.

I feel like I'm just an outdoorsman now.

You know, whitewater rafting up in that part of the world, he gets pretty cold. I know from experience, not that I have much of an outdoorsman, but I have done it up in Canada and that we had to wear wetsuits because it was, did you wear a wetsuit? Yeah. What suits were on. When I did that, it was a long time ago.

The guide was a woman, but yes.

Did you go into the water?

Briefly.

Okay.

Oh, not during the rafting part, during the lake that we started out and we jumped in.

All I'll tell you is, I did this many years ago, but it was right about this time of year, and we were about to get on the rafts. It was two different rafts. And I don't know what they call the person who's just the guy, the person who's in the back who steers. I heard him telling his buddy, the other guide on the other raft, he's like, man, I haven't

had anybody go in the drink in like seven or eight days. I'm going to fix that on this one.

We stayed out when we're navigating the rapids.
