Hey, you stay. Hey, Erica. How's your day going? Oh, you know, I know how I am this time

of year. It's a little warm. Actually, it's kind of pretty warm and the sun is shining.

But it is. I just want to be outside. I don't want to be inside. I want to be outside,

walking a dog, reading a book, going for a stroll. That's right. Right now. But I feel like

if we've podcasted and I were outside, you would get so annoyed because it'd be going,

what like the wind? Oh, for sure. Everyone listening would be annoyed. So I'm inside,

but it's going really well. It's just a sunny, warm day. What about you? Right now,

one of our air conditioners is out. So maybe you're you're actually in a cool place. So you're seeing

the sun and having like, oh, I miss it. Like, I feel like we're hot in the house. So we're good.

I don't need to need to step outside. Oh, my gosh. Look, I'm under a blanket. Do you see?

I'm under a blanket. I don't need a blanket. I have the fans on. I mean, surely they'll fix it soon.

They're supposed to show up at some point today. Yeah, I ran into a friend on our town square on

what night was that Friday night? A sweet, sweet friend. And she has a senior graduating.

And I was like, how's it going? And she said, well, her childhood has decided to go to trade school

instead of a traditional four-year college. And she said, you know, at first, it was a hard

pull to swallow because I had all these visions of, you know, this child going to University

of Oklahoma or Texas A&M. And and instead, her kid has decided to go to a trade school and get

a job in a specific trade. And she was like, but now I'm like really excited about it because there's

so few people that do that. Yes. And that's who you need at your house desperately right now.

And you're willing to pay whatever. And she's like, we've already gotten her kid in LLC and we're

creating like a brand. And so that when they're finished with trade school, they can start this

business. And I'm like, yeah, your kid's going to do fantastic in this industry.
