Well, good afternoon folks. I just got my son settling downstairs with his therapist and they're working. We came up into my office to settle in and start getting back to work and I had left the radio on scan and I came in and just caught the last tail end of that check in on boots. And I just, I can't let that go. I gotta weigh in, because I think a lot about boots. I love a good pair of boots, even like a low-cut shoe that's more of a boot kind of a shoe. I have a pair of those. What is the brand name? They're called Vasque. They're actually a offshoot of Red Wing, if you know Red Wing. And I've got two pair of Red Wing boots that I love. have a lot of miles on them. Well, one of them has a lot, a lot of miles on them, and the other one is just getting to the broken end phase. It takes me a long time to really break in a new set of boots, because one of the reasons I like a good leather boot is because my feet, not shaped typically, let's say, lots of little knobbies, and last time I had ski boots, I used to ski quite a bit, and the last pair of ski boots, I think I ended up paying more for the modifications to make them so I could wear them than for the boots themselves. Anyway, yeah, so I love a good, especially a good, worn-in set of boots. And once they're well worn in, then I never wanna let them go. So when I walk the heels off of them, I just get them replaced, or walk the soles off of them, I just get them replaced. And yeah, the set I've got some miles on, It's had that done a time or two at this point, yeah. But anyway, I love a good set of boots, so I just thought I'd jump in there and just couldn't let a conversation about boots going without expressing my appreciation for a good, fitting set of leather boots. This is KJ7GDM, back to you, Jack, in the net. I've always fancied myself, not so much Red Wing boots, I think they're okay, but I think those VASC boots, REI's got a number of those, did you pick up your VASC boots at REI perhaps?
