Oh, nice. Okay.

It's interesting. The hopper bottom market is really not that old. I mean, I think it wasn't until the 70s or 80s before they actually created the actual hopper flow grain. Before that, a lot of grain was still shipped on flatbeds with side kits.

So a lot of these grain terminals, they had to have the hoist that hoisted the whole trailer, sometimes a truck and trailer up to dump the grain out the back. Or you had to have a dump truck with a hoist to get it out.

So my old company, Bartlett Grain, they had a 70-foot. They still have at their downtown Kansas City one. And back in the day, we would book a lot of dry van trailers. We'd blow wheat in them out in eastern Colorado, western Kansas, and it would lift that whole truck and trailer. I mean, I got pictures, but, I mean, it was every bit of –

Yeah, so this was something within the – I guess we've kind of really got this going in the past five years. My kids now are a little bit older. My daughter, she's 15, and then I got a 12-year-old and 10-year-old boy. When the boys were babies, at nighttime, we had a little rocking chair and we had little bookshelves with all the kids' books. You know what I'm talking about.

If you've got kiddos, Pete the Cat and Little Blue Truck, Little Red Truck. You can go through all the different stories. I kept always asking my wife, I was like, can you find any kids' books on trucking? And she'd bring home some that were like, it was like monster machines. So it would have like, like it'd be pictures of big excavators and stuff like that.

But she could never find anything on semi trucks. So I had the idea. And this idea, I guess, was probably eight years ago when they were still little tykes. But why not create a fictional character that's a semi-truck? So just like Thomas the Train, why don't we make a trucking character called Semi-Sam and go through his adventures? So that was kind of the start of it.
