Foreign. I wanted to go ahead and share our latest radio ad with you about options and and kind of give you some context around options and and what we're talking about. One of our 19 we believe statements is about we believe band aid repairs are never acceptable. What does that mean, Band aid repairs? I like to relate this to your tires, your car, your tires on your car.
So you go to work every day.
You leave the driveway every single day, you have to stop and get air in the tire because you run low that weekend. You're at home, you're all for work, you at the family. And you notice in the driveway are a bunch of nails that you have run over every day this week. You have run over nails. There are nails in your tire. Nails are causing the problem. Nails are causing you to run low on air. So a band aid repair to us would be you keep adding air to the tire. Well, find out what the problem is. The problem is you keep driving over nails. So sweep up the nails out of the driveway and you will not have low air in the tires. Right? So that kind of goes into options. So we want to find the core of the problem, not not to repair today's problem alone. If a capacitor is going weak or a motor has gone out because of a capacitor or because of a lightning surge or a surge in power. Well, let's give options to address. You know, lightning arrester protection, a compressor saver. If that's the problem. We like to build options to solve what is causing the problem and not just fix today's problem. Only hopefully that makes sense. And I explained to you, I explained it to you well. But here's the latest radio ad about options.
I'm gonna need you to move the team barbecue to Thursday.
Well, I prefer Friday.
And why Friday?
Friday's better.
That's all.
It's cause I told Dave, right?
I have my reasons.
Boy Derek, you sure don't like being told what to do.
Don't know many people who do.
So is it about control and to.
Feel completely comfortable in the choices I make? Why must you Scott? It's no different than why we always give our customers options on replacement and repairs.
No one likes to be arm twisted into a decision that isn't right for them.
Who knows, maybe money's tight.
Maybe you don't plan on staying in your home much longer.
Best not to question or judge and.
Just let you decide which option is best for you.
Like I always say, treat folks no different than you would your own grandma.
