And so rather than just have kind of a private conversation where I ask you how everything is going,

I figured let's just do this on a Gear 30 podcast and push through a

number of skis here. That's our objective. And to kick things off, we are going to talk about

two skis from prior. And these are actually the first prior skis that we've ever been on. If you don't know,
