It seems like he's negotiated us a pretty sweet deal, and as long as we do have AIM Maintenance as the contractor for that service district, it seems like, um, let's, uh, let's squeeze the deal for as long as we can is what it kind of seems like to me. We're saving money, but Let's prepare ourselves for the future, but let's also not put crazy effort into it because maybe, you know, after 2029, there's going to be an almost entirely new assembly up here and they're going to go looking for the exact same information and all the prices are going to have changed again. So let's not waste a lot of time. If we're going to use the deal, let's use the deal. But let's come up with a plan for the future.
