Great, we appreciate it, sir. Yeah, and which lot did you say they're at again? Uh, call was coming in at Best Buy, but as you probably know, they kind of bounce around up here from one lot to the next. Alright, just give us a minute, we'll let you know we're up there, and we'll mark that getting on, see what's up. Sounds good. Chopper to S18, do you have any drones operating right now? 184, I've got a drone. If you're coming this way, I'll keep it down. Yeah, appreciate it, sir. We'll be heading down.
