I was like this.
It's not, it's the opposite.
Give me a minute here.
I'm milling my own grain.
Yes, it's really fun.
I'm baking all day, every day.
That's what I'm doing.
Do you quote him?
Yeah, I've thought about him every day just because we had this weird phenomenon because we pump our water in in low water years from the Ouachita River.
But what happened was, and I've shared this before, we had a series of unfortunate events come together and
We had an extremely dry year, but they also dropped our river down from pool stage.
They call it pool stage because that means this is as low as it goes.
Until they decide, the government, to drop it down seven feet lower because they need to work on some locks and dams so barges can traffic the river.
And so when those things happen, we could no longer pump water
from the river because we pumped from an offshoot creek of the river.
Well, that just put it where it was unpumpable.
There's no water.
I mean, a little bit, what little we did pump, we dried the creek up.
And so I thought every day, I mean, he would have never, he would have been so frustrated
That it just won't rain and we can't get any water because my dad, he pretty well hunted every day of duck season every year for how many years?
