Hell yeah, dude. Well, I saw you at one of the other expos. You had the nice booth all set up with your grow tent and all your soil out there. You do it right before we jump into all these questions and stuff. Can you tell us what you've been up to and what's been going on in the world of soil? Guru,

in the world of soil, it's been, it's been steady, you know. I mean, you know, you have those slow seasons and your busy seasons and all that. But, I mean, this past year has been a hit for the industry as a whole, you know. But for the most part, I've just been up to, you know, making soil and growing cannabis. I run two cultivation facilities, catalog farms and Bud Tender farms. I'm now getting my own cultivation facility off the ground, tropical trichomes, organics, nice. So a lot has been going on, you know, and on top of that is, I'm opening an organic vegetable farm this summer, and then raising two beautiful girls. I mean, that's, that's the highlight of my life. No matter what it is that's

a lot. I love it. Yes, I love that you're a family man. I love that you're into the sustainability side now you're working with, you know, your own craft facility and two others here in Oklahoma, right? These licensed cultivators doing soil organic grows. That's really cool, getting that product on the shelf all

organic, like literally all 100% organic, all grown in my soil, my company's complete regimen actually dry nutrient and soil, but it's super simple, man. It takes the guesswork out of it for a lot of people, and it gives you a clean, quality product for your money. You see what I'm saying? Like, obviously, the market, if you know anything about the market in Oklahoma, it's just, it's, it's bad, you know. So you can't afford to be, you know, cost of a pound of cannabis to be to your cost on 800 bucks, you won't make any money, right? You'll have to shut down. And that's what I feel like is happening with a lot of these grows, is people relied so heavily on bottled nutrients, and whatever these nutrient companies told them it was, it was easy, you know, but it was easy when you can sell it at 2500
