No, I'm there, I'm here, I'm somewhere, that's for sure. So my wife is in here too, zero PSF, and she was talking to me. I didn't know she was up, but she was out in the basement taking care of getting Christmas decorations up. We last night, I think I mentioned this before, but we were going to go ahead and set up the Christmas tree yesterday. so today when all the kids are over they can decorate it and see how much they actually put on the tree you know I think it'd be fun just it's only gonna take 20 minutes or so to get it done especially with you know three kids and two old people so but we changed and we my grandson we had a smaller it was like a five-foot tree and we had that for a couple of years because you know well the other tree guy cracked out but it was tall enough because he was so small it looked really big to him well now he's getting bigger he's six now and I wanted to make give him that impression the trees you know the centerpiece of Christmas type thing so we summarize I found the tree for some sale and I bought that. It's quite a nice. And it's about eight foot tall. More lights, more decorations, all that kind of thing. And that's kind of a weird thing to talk about on on Thanksgiving. But usually we wait until like the second week of Christmas or second week of December before we do anything like that. And I just have a, I don't know, just just felt like doing it early this year. Nothing wrong with it, right? It's just a matter of perspective, how you want to look at everything. Did get my, all my leaves picked up. Boy, I'll tell you what, it was really cold yesterday. I had to wait till almost noon to do it, but even then it was still like 35 degrees. And it had been raining all week long, but the, you know, the leaves were all nice and crispy because of the cold. So I got my lawnmower out and mulched the rest of it up and finally got it out on the street corner and ready for pickup. That was a job. I mean that took me a couple weeks because every time I'd clean up one mess another mess would happen. We're talking 50 pounds of, oh know, 15 for about 300 pounds of these picked up over the last few weeks. So it was a nice day yesterday. I mean, I took a printout for lunch reset. He's probably what I'd call my best friend. Well, not my best best friend. He's my second best friend. My other best friend is my best friend, which really doesn't matter. I'm not six anymore, I'm 62, so do you really have a best friend? I don't know. Dude, let's just have an old long-time standing friend. Anyhow, we used to go over to his house all the time for Thanksgiving, and I mean they would put a spread out of him and his wife and they would have, they'd invite people from Chicago and all that kind of stuff, And there'd be 20, 30 people in the house. It was really nice, enjoyed it quite a bit. And then COVID came along and my friend's wife, she got extremely paranoid about the COVID. She thought she was gonna catch it and die. So she pretty much stopped all social events of any kind. And she never picked them back up again. There's still that way. She's still that way, but my friend and I, we still get together and enjoy, you know, Christmas and our birthdays and Thanksgiving, you know, and we'll go to a restaurant and talk and eat and joke and it's a good thing. I mean, at least we're doing it, even though our wives and the rest of the family around us and their family are kind of just isolated even now, Which I find strange, but, you know, psychologically it damaged a lot of people like COVID did now. One more reset.
