Transcript excerpt
Apologize for not posting today. Something happened last night. I was not able to post. I just wanted to come on here and let you guys know I am relocating very, very soon. And I'm gonna continue to keep you guys updated. So if I do stop posting for more than twenty four hours, it is most likely that something is wrong.
