Alright, so Monday minute, Jeff, let's. Let's talk Carolina's convention because we had John Brown on a few weeks ago and he was talking about the convention and we were going to be a vital part of the convention, but unfortunately Covid has struck again, brother.
Gosh, man, you're killing me. I almost bought my tickets. I looked at him that day. I was ready to rock and roll with my airfare. I waited. And then again, even two days ago I was like, man, I just got to get on and buy those.
And now you're telling me it ain't even happening.
So ciada convention, Carolina's convention has been postponed or suspended or canceled, whatever, whatever they want to call it. And it's for the safety of everybody. And there's dealers that didn't want to come because of that. And it's just, I mean, this is the world we're living in right now, Jeff. Everything's month to month. We really were looking forward to seeing a lot of the dealers out there that listen to us, but unfortunately it's not gonna happen in Myrtle beach come August. Yeah.
All right, so what that tells me, Luke, is if we aren't able to get together and learn and meet vendors and better our business, what better way than a podcast, man?
