Rebecca, hello everyone. Well we had a pretty good day today weather-wise, I mean here in Seattle it was gray, no rain, quite a few clouds, mostly cloudy, but there was a few blue spots and in fact here in Shoreline the sun did come out for about, I don't know, 15 minutes, half an hour, something like that. The sun was out for a little while. I probably mentioned a couple of times that I was going to be getting a couple of new tires for my car. The car that I got, my Kia Niro EV, the tires had never been rotated on it and I bought it at, I think it was like 32,000 miles and now I've got like 40, I don't know, I've got over 10,000 miles since I bought the thing, which was not that long ago, it about eight months ago. Anyway, the tires that have been rotated and the front tires were pretty worn and now they're down just getting to the wear bars. So I'm going to get two new tires and put the two new ones on the front which has been agreed to by the tire place, discount tire. And I want the best tires on the front because who knows, we might, might, might get snow this year. Last year we had about half a day's worth. Anyway, I just put the best tires on the front. And then after spring comes along and there's no more risk of snow, then I'll switch them and put the ones that have been on there for 40-some thousand miles, which still have really good tread. They've got like 80% of their tread. I'll put those on the front. Anyway, so I got an appointment to do that tomorrow afternoon at three, and then I'll stop. I must have spent at least six hours researching tires the last couple of days. Finding what was good, looking at reviews for this particular car, you know, handling, braking, all that kind of good stuff. So anyway, since these were the same tires that I originally had on there, the Michelin Primus MX, MX something like that, four. And they're not cheap, but they're not expensive, and I figure they will last me at least 50,000 miles probably 60,000 because I'm a pretty gentle driver the bad rap that electric cars get yes some of them are heavier than a regular car but not a whole lot the main thing is is that people especially some of those Tesla owners I know most of them are very good drivers but some people they like just stepping on the gas a little bit and feeling that zip get up and zip and that's what goes through the tires more quickly anyway I'm dropping for a moment
