I'm doing pretty good. I'm just finishing up what's been basically several months of work now. I've been taking over an automotive repair shop business in Duke Harbor. And the business, it's been running since, I think the 60s is about when it actually started. And it became a fair-sized business in about the 80s, 90s. And with it being a business so long, I think the biggest technological improvement they made was somewhere in the yearly 2000s, they picked up the new software. But basically since then, nothing has changed on the technology side. And so like everything is still paper, everything is still handwritten, everything is still on the phone, written down, and then a piece of paper passed. And we're a company of five people, so we kind of need the efficiencies. So I've been working on bringing in some modern improvements, like allowing people to get hopefully business online and get text and email reminders. And hopefully take off some load off the service writer, hopefully. But man, has that been an adventure because I'm going to find out these little niche markets like auto repair. The big companies have these stranglehold on software and technology. And man, do they like their money. And they basically have you pinned into a corner because there's not exactly anything you can do because they own everything. So yeah, that's been a fun adventure trying to make software from the 90s where it's like at least 2010. I finally did get it set up, sort of. You can at least schedule appointments and stuff online and on your phone and get email reminders. But man, do they charge a lot of money for the invoicing software to see it and have that direct tie in. It's been an adventure. Both the business side and the reviving, not reviving, but creating more efficiencies, leveraging technology on a platform that has been running for so long. Yeah. This is KK7, and go in. Back to Matt.
