He just didn't start dumping money a million directions.

Our investment has always been...

It's always followed the data.

So, for example, the first camera system that we put out on the ranch was a very inexpensive, low-grade, low-quality system.

It was simply there to just see if we could capture.

And once we started capturing stuff...

Then Brandon incrementally started to increase the quality of the cameras and the surveillance systems that we had based on the data that we were getting.

And we've spent money on things and haven't got any results, and so there's no sense spending even more money in that area.

And so our spending has been focused solely on where we're getting the results.

So my time out at the ranch in the last four years was it is a ranch that requires care.

It needs to be irrigated.

You have to you have to get livestock on there or else it turns into a big fire hazard because the grass grows two feet tall in the spring.

And then because we're in a desert by August, it's just so dead and dry that even a spark would just burn the whole place down.

The cows come in, they eat the grass down and then it doesn't it doesn't do that.

So.

The fences, I mean, there's so much maintenance just with a regular ranch that takes place that I was trying to take care of.

And then when you add on to that, the science, once 2017 started, that's when we started to make aggressive changes.

And really, so then the whole narrative of my injury comes into play because it was March of 2017 when I had that severe injury and it

You know, maybe coincidentally, maybe not.

We don't know for sure.
