But I can see it being particularly acute with a project like this because it's all consuming. You don't go to work every day. You're with each other. And you've got the four horsemen of the apocalypse nipping at your heels all the time. Yes, exactly. So we... So I came back to the farm full time. Now I'm there in 82. And it took us three years. Jordan, until I say we could exhale.
