All right, well, unfortunately my GPS is barking at me, so I'm going to ignore it. But while you were talking, it was really barking back. But you were asking me about how work's going. Well, I've been working in a parking garage since the end of July until I got this job on the south side in the ghetto here. I'm in a section 8 apartment here. Man, yesterday, this person, I don't know if she had Tourette's, but it was just getting me nervous, screaming at the top of her lungs, just foul, garbage. My gosh. But anyway, working in the parking garage, I'm flat. We had some work, but we weren't using ladders that often. We're on a lift, and the lift mainly bothered me getting in and out of it, bending over and tucking my head and neck and back underneath the top bar. But when I got here, which Monday morning I got here to the ghetto, and I'm just pulling up now, so my GPS will stop barking at me. But here I'm on a ladder all day. These fixtures, the drivers, they're LED fixtures, and the drivers went on intermittently, one by one. So we were replacing them one by one, but now we're going ahead and replacing all of them. But I've been on a ladder for, this will be going on my third day, and I can feel the muscle in my, right below my hip, the muscle that was really stiff during this whole thing. I can feel it stiffen up, but it doesn't hurt. And the crazy thing is two of the things that I struggle with, number one, when I'm on my knees, getting up from my knees to a standing position, I struggle. And number two, if I'm like bending down, let's say I'm bent down and I'm picking something up off the ground or, you know, picking up a bunch of debris, little shards from the wires and stuff. When I go to stand up, I got to sit there for a second and reset. There's something that when I stretch down and I was talking to a guy at work, I'm like, yeah, these are like the two things that are lingering and they're telling me it's going to last 12 months. Well, I showed them how I would reach down to grab debris and stand back up, and that has gone away to my amazement. I'm hoping that I'll try it again today and hopefully I don't need to do that anymore. But getting up from my knees or down position, I can get down a lot easier now and I can get up a lot easier, I mean, before I would, if I was to kneel down, I'd have like a bucket or something and I'd grab and then I'd use my arms to grab all my weight to kneel down onto my knee pads. And then to get back up, I'd have to use my arms to get me started. And I'm getting a lot better on that, so I think this job right here, working on the ladder is really helping me out. So anyway, thank you for asking. Back to you. And 73 to everyone, this is K9 PFD.
