Spent some of today making sure certain paperwork was sent in. Then after noticing I was almost out of clean clothes it was down to the washing machine to do some laundry. But as the afternoon went on I could feel that chest cold I thought I had shaken taking an elevator ride up into my head. So finally after a while I decided I better run down quickly to the store( ha who am I kidding there is no such thing as running to the store quickly) to get some cold medicine. Needed to get something to ease the pressure in my sinuses before they explode. Think I'm just going to kick back and take it easy now. So that's it for now.

Alright the first day of my new life is just about over. And I think I am still trying to get used to this new found freedom(for lack of a better term at the moment). Did not have to get up early, of which I must say I didn't get up to early seeing as I stayed up till five this morning before finally going to bed. And I'm not really sure why I stayed up that late. Well anyway a lot of today was spent on the phone trying to start this, set up that and change another thing. Not through yet still have more phone calls to make tomorrow. I'm not complaining even I know that if I am to succeed it's going to take some work. Some may say this will be easy work, but I say not really for the only person I have to answer to now is myself. Oh well I made the decision and I'm going to make it work.

On a lighter side why is it that whenever we do something a little out of the ordinary ie. stumble over something, trip, or maybe even walk into something, the first thing we do is to get up rapidly and look around in all directions to make sure no one saw us do whatever we just did. No I'm not just making fun of other people for i am just as guility of this myself. I'll give you an example, a few years ago when I was out on the golf course, yes at one time I thought I might be a golfer. Actually I played golf like a drunk driving home from the bar, by zig zaging my way down the fairway. Opps I'm straying away from my story, sorry. Anyhow I had set my bag of clubs down on the ground to hit the golfball, while line up the shot I backed up and tripped over the bag. Of course the first thing I did was to set a new world record for getting up and looking to see that nobody had seen what I had just did. Never mind the fact that I may have three broken bones in my arm, that didn't matter, only worry was did anyone see me. Oh and if someone did happen to see us, how many of us have then went into that act of strutting around and going like yeah hey I planned that, yeah I meant to trip over that bag, yeah just how I planned it. Wanna see me do it again. Sounds crazy but thats what we do. Ok that's it for now.

I went to work this morning, got in my truck and started hauling rock from the crusher into the yard. Seemed like any other typical day at work, but it was anything but a typical day.....it was my last day. Yet yes it seemed like any other day at work, what was I thinking, what was i expecting I'm really not sure. I don't know maybe a trumpeted fanfare to signify the end of an era. But who am I kidding that would then mean I was someone of importance other then just the mere worker that I was. So yeah no fanfare just a few so you are leaving us well good luck, said in passing as everyone headed to their cars to get the hell out of there. It is a strange feeling knowing that after all these years I don't have a "regular" job to go to now. A strange feeling yes, but i will also admit a good feeling as well. Tomorrow I will start to work in ernest putting together my ideas for businesses so that I may have income coming in once again. One such business is that I will be selling gift items. I will let you know when it is ready, maybe you can buy something from me to help me. But since you are reading my site you must be my friend, I'll give you the item you are considering. Wait if I do that I make no money and will be stuck eating pictures of food for the rest of my life....not good. So how about we try this, you come in and buy something and I will give you one hell of a deal. Yes that sounds much better, that way you get something at a greatly reduced price and I get to buy food. Ok so its going on 2:30 in the morning and I'm thinking I really should be getting my self to bed, and thats what I'm going to do. That's it for now.

Final, last day, the end.....words to describe what tomorrow will be for me. Yes tomorrow brings for me the last day I will go to work in the rock quarry, bringing to an end many years of working long hard days. Ok, so maybe the work wasn't all that hard, I am not against working hard. This is not the reason I am leaving after many years there although I will admit I no longer look forward to 12-14 hour days. One of the main reasons I am leaving there is that the bullshit has gotten to deep for me to want to continue wallowing around in it. And I might add I am not the only one who works there who feels this way, I am just the first one to have the chance to get away from there. I am also leaving there with the plan of starting my own business and to become a partner in another business venture. I know I won't regret making this move now, like I once told a friend the only regret I would have had would be not to try and later on down the road wonder what might have happened had I tried. I also told this same friend entrepreneur sounds a whole hell of a lot better then truck driver. We will soon see i guess. That's it for now

Damned chest cold still has a hold on me. Nothing new and exciting to post tonight. Must go take vitamin C.

Hummm chest feels funny, a cough, and generally not feeling like doing anything. Yep I do believe I've come down with a chest cold. So needless to say I haven't gotten much accomplished today. It's not from lack of desire or trying, just don't have much energy. I hate getting sick, mainly because I don't want to take the time to lay down, rest and do what I need to do to get better. I find myself wanting to just keep going and ignore that I am sick. So for the most part I kinda sat around in a daze today, somewhat reminding me of the day a few moons ago when I smoked some really good stuff and collapsed on the couch in a daze and couldn't
nor did I want to move. And I had really wanted to write something highly profound tonight. Ahh well maybe next time. Thats it.

Another typical Saturday spent most of it at work. But wait, this was the last Saturday that I will have had to work out there. One good thing about today I didn't come home feeling like a human popsicle. Count down is down to three days till I'm out of that rock quarry.

Ever get that sinking feeling that there is something you needed to remember to do but just couldn't remember what it was. Well I got that feeling last night and it continued into today. Anyhow I was right there was something I needed to remember to do last night. And my forgeting it created one hell of a mess. Let me put it to you this way, question: what happens whaen you put a can of Dr. Pepper into the freezer and then forget to get it out. Yep a big explosion, the big bang. One giant Dr. Pepper slush all over the freezer.

There you have it, although these photos don't really do justice to the mess I had to clean up. Ok so sometimes I'm not the brightest bulb in the pack, but hey what's life without a little unexpected excitment in it, right. That's it for now, at least until I can figure out some other mess to make haha.

I'm bacck! After an unscheduled leave of absense. Ok Ok so my stupid internet went down, and I just about went crazy every minute it was down haha. Yeah it was late wedensday night and suddenly there was nothing. My internet had died it was dead. Oh and of course we didn't have to work yesterday because of the weather, so there I was with the day off and no internet to play with. It's been so long I have forgotten how to entertain myself that didn't pertain to the internet. So I busyed myself with some around the house chores, read a little, watched some tv and did some more planning for the start up of my new business. Still to find myself being drawn back to my computer only to say damn it still isn't working. It turned out to be a break in one of the main cables within the neighborhood here. Anyhow finally sometime today they got it fixed and up and running again. Even though I tried to be patient while they worked on it it wasn't easy. But I did feel kinda of sorry for the poor guy who was out in the cold (1 degree) trying to get it fixed. I did discover though that yes I can survive without the internet(I don't want to) but I can.

Four more working days left and I finally leave the rock quarry days behind me to start anew. I might be a little anxious and it might even be a little scarry I am still looking forward to it. Yes, a new life, a new outlook a chance to move on and live life. I am not fooling myself it's not going to be the easy life( at least not in the begining) it is going to take some hard work. But what better motivation is there to have then to know that my next paycheck depends on me. So I know if I am to succeed I will have to work at it. But I am confidant I can do it. That's it for now, I have to stand under a hot shower and see if I can finish thawing myself out after working out in the freezing weather today.

Ok, so I was sitting here trying to think of something to do next and came up with this idea. Seems my The Interview Project has fallen off a little, so I thought I would try something a little different. I want to try and make it a little bit of an interactive thing. If you have seen The Interview Project of mine you know it's where I take questions asked of me and try to answer them in a funny, dumb, silly and/or evasive way. Well anyway if you have a question you would like me to answer in such a fashion e-mail it to me, drop it in the shout outs or hit up my guestbook with it. Maybe with your help I can kinda jump start this project and get it going again.

Here i sit with the heat cranked up just a bit more then normal. Sure felt like i came close to becoming a human icecube today. Went to work this morning and really thought they would tell us it was to cold to do anything. And in my opinion they would have been right. But ohhh no, seems like 17 degrees and a wind chill of about 5 degrees wasn't to cold for us to be working outside. It didn't take long out in that cold before my face hands and toes felt like they had fallen off. Of course we got to sit in the pick-up occasionally to try and warm up, but you can't get much work done sitting in the truck. Thus I stumbled thru a short eight hour day feeling nearly frozen and walking very gingerly by the time we headed for home. I'm happy to say that three hours later I believe I'm about thawed out. Well they did decide by the end of today that maybe we should stay home tomorrow because of all things it's supposed to be, yeah you guessed it,cold. Actually it's going to work out fine, because I recieved in the mail today some start up info for one of the ventures I am about to embark on. So that will give me tomorrow to do some reading and start making some plans. I think I will start some reading now. So that it from here.

Hey, guess what I made through the day without getting in trouble. Yay!! Other then that today has been rather uneventful. Went to work and now I'm sitting here and my brain fails me when trying to make this post. So rather than bore you with jibberish, I'll post a couple of pictures I took at sunset and maybe come back later if I can think of something to write about.

Yes this was classic Monday, a Monday to beat all Mondays. The day started out so good, within the first hour I managed to get my ass chewed out, along with the other truck drivers. Seems we were not where we were supposed to be and didn't get there fast enough. So yeah the boss takes a huge chunk out of our asses. Now I'm one who can take a good ass chewing along with the next guy, but I prefer to feel I deserve it first. And this morning I didn't!!!


Yes we were supposed to be at this one area of the plant first thing this morning, however the boss neglected one very important criteria. And that is to tell me that that is what I was supposed to do. Yep he never said word one to me of the plan for this morning. So all the while he was ranting on I was wanting to go hey fool the least you can do before you chew me out, is do me the efing honor of first telling me what to do so I can then not do it and you can chew my ass. I mean I'm no goddamned mind reader. But the wiser side of me prevailed and I kept my mouth shut. I just kept reminding myself that in just 8 more days I will no longer have to put up with this Mickey Mouse run organization. We finally got the things done we needed to get going and fired up to crush some rock. However we weren't running more then 10 minutes when one of the big engines was spewing steam out of it from every crevice possible. NOT GOOD!!! So then we spent the rest of the day trying to tear this engine apart to get it fixed. And it still isn't fixed. So that was my glorious wonderful Monday.....How was yours???

I have been working on a new project where in I am trying my hand at writting reviews of sites I like. This is my first attempt at writting such items so bear with me. I have finished the first installment of this project. I have reviewed three sites that are on my must read everyday list. These are the sites I have listed in the left hand side bar. These sites are Raymi The Minx, Anti's Boring Blog from Hell and Jamie's The Known Universe. So head on over to the My Site Reviews Project to check out what I have written. More sites will be added as I discover them. That is it for now.

Another Sunday is about to come to an end. Sundays are usually not a good day for me, not sure why maybe its just that there is nothing open nor much to do in this town. Not that I get out that much, but still if I did get out there wouldn't be anything to do. I did do my usual Sunday things like grocery shopping, laundry, oh yeah and kinda being lazy. I will be glad when I can get my new ventures up and running because it will give more to do. I did discover a new way to go grocery shopping. That is to stay up super late the night before get up early and go shopping. That way you are to damned tired to give a shit about the hassels that normally go along with the art of grocery shopping. After that I got a few other chores done and just lounged around working on some other projects. Ok Ok so I rambling on and boring the shit out of ya I'll give it a rest for now.

So saturday is almost history and not much exciting has happened. Well I did go down and get a haircut finally. Yeah I got tired of scaring myself awake each morning when I would see my bed head in the mirror. Also decided it was time to make a little change, so I'm letting my beard grow out a little.

Since there isn't much to write about today, it's a good thing I didn't finish telling of my exploits from yesterday. Anyhow after picking up the medicne I needed to go and get an ink cartridge since the one in my printer had run out. So it was off to Wal-Mart to get one. Of course there can't be just one that will work in all printers, so after straining my brain a little I finally remembered which one I needed. So I grabed it and up to the register i went. WOW 35 dollars, you've got to be kiding me, I only wanted a small container with ink in it not a block of gold. I needed it so I paid for it and out the door I went. How can something so small and runs out so fast cost so much? I know, I know because without this little container of ink your printer isn't worth a shit, and they know that!!
So then it was off to the grocery store to pick up a few things. Of course I take the side roads so as to miss all those irritating traffic lights.





So anyway after getting to and entering the store it dawned on me the mistake I had just made, oh god it's senior day. Oh yes, there they were clogging up every isle moving at the speed of, well I'm not sure what speed you would call it, just don't call it fast. Now don't get me wrong I am not against the older citizens of our city, I just don't want to be shopping at the same time they are. For example, one of the items I needed was in the back of the store, but do you think I can find an isle that is clear enough for me to get from the front to the back of the store....nooo. And when you do make a move to head down the isle you have to stay alert at all times for these kind folk have a tendency for sudden stops and U-turns. Needless to say I got what I needed, minus a few items ( I'll go back later) and got the hell out of there and headed for home. Yesss home sweet home. Guess you could say the old saying of never a dull moment really pertained yesterday. There you have it my fun Friday. Thats it for now.

So Ok its turning into a vacation now. Yep, went in to work only to be sent back home again. I don't know maybe the fact it was like only 2 degrees out had something to do with their decision. All I know is I didn't argue with them, because it was damned cold. So back home I go not to have to work again till Monday. Like I said a vacation.

Even though I really didn't want to be out in the cold, I decided to run some errands and go the the store and get some things I had been putting off getting. Well the first of these errands was to go out and pick up some medicine my mother was needing. Simple enough right, run in say I need to pick up this refill and drop this script off please, thank you. As you might have guessed it wasn't that simple. Let's start at the begining of this little story. First off its not just some simple pharmacy downtown, nooo, i have to go to this army hospital to pick it up. You may have heard that it has become a pain in the ass to get onto military bases since that September 11 thing happened. Well I'm here to attest it is true. After winding my way through the barricades I am stopped by this military policeman, followed by a game of 64 questions. ie is this your car? Where are you going? and on and on...... All the while I sitting there thinking what do you think I got a bomb here. Hell I aint got no bomb but if you delay me any longer I am liable to become a bomb. Finally after convincing him of my sweetness, pureness and innocense heheh I'm on my way to the hospital to pick up the medicine. Ahhhh forty minutes later( you didn't actually think I was going to go right in and pick up the prescription did you) I'm back in the car heading for the gate and the salvation of the civilian world again. And the adventure continued, but more on that later, including my experiences at the grocery store after having forgotten this was seniors day there. Right now this is a long enough post and besides I'm getting thirsty.

Not sure why I was being so secretive, anyone who I might not want to know about this at the moment doesn't know about this web-site. So heres the low-down I have decided to try my hand at sales work. I plan to have an on-line store as well as travel around to different places where they have flea markets craft shows and the like, and set up shop and sell my wares. I will post more when I get closer to being ready to do this. So there you have it.

It's official now, I've went and told my boss of my impending plans. Yes the two week clock is counting down. I'm not saying that part of the old me didn't try and creep in and stop me. You know the same old feelings of, leave well enough alone, don't change things, and don't make waves. As I was getting ready to tell my boss of my plans that familiar feeling arose in the pit of my stomach, the one that made me think am I sure I want to do this, am I sure I want to make this change. And so I answered myself with a resounding YES. I am ready to move on and try different things, or as I have said recently I am ready to start living life instead of letting life live me. I will unveil my new plans shortly.

Happiness is having a snow shovel in your hands at six in the morning cleaning the driveway.

Yes it snowed last night. Though we only got 2 inches instead of the 8-10 inches first forcast, thank goodness. Or I would still be out there shoveling snow. It did make for an exciting slow drive out to work this morning, only to hear the words we knew we would hear when we got there. GO HOME! We knew before we even got to work that we wouldn't be working because of the weather. And I'm sure the boss types had a good idea we wouldn't be working. So you'de think they could pick up the phone and tell us to stay home and not to bother getting out on those slick roads. Ohhh nooo, they make us drive all the way out there just so they could tell us to go back home as soon as we came through the door. It's events like this that's going to make it easy for me to leave there and not really miss it at all.

Sure glad I wasn't planning on going anywhere today.

That's it for now.........Later

Yesterday I told you I would take the first step into my new life. So heres how it went. I showed upto work with all the intentions of informing my boss of my impending new life. To tell him in two weeks he'll have to be finding a replacement, and that from now on I will only be working 14 hour days if it was what I choose to do. Why tell him at all, well I'm not a complete asshole, I know how the game is played. Besides I not willing to forfiet the four weeks of vacation I should be paid for when I leave. Anyhow, like I was saying, I showed up all ready to tell him and guess what, he wasn't there. Can you believe it, the one time I want to talk to the boss and he's not there. Ok, so I will take my first step tomorrow.

It's snowing here now. Finally I was begining to think winter was gonna pass us by completely. I should know better, thinking it would stay warm and not snow. The first snowfall = smart people stay off the roads if possible. I say this because the first snowfall always seems to bring out all the idiots who think they can drive on a snow covered road like it was a nice summer day. It just can't happen that way, so 20 minutes into the morning and 15 fender benders later they start to learn this obvious fact. Wait I have a better idea, all people around here who have never driven on snow, stay home, at least till noon. That way I can get to work without worrying about some fool spinning out and coming over into my lane and...well we know how this story ends. Yep can't wait till morning. Sorry no pic's, I need to take some time and take some more, soon. That's it for now

Choices, choices....decisions, decision Seems like that is what has been on my mind lately. A lot of thinking about some choices and decisions i need to make. So the time has arrived, no more thinking, it's time for action. And it starts tomorrow. What I am about to do is, no wait in the past would have been scarry. But not now, I now realise that every new journey or venture does have its risks and unknown variables, however there can be rewarding challenges as well. And I won't know if I don't stick my neck out and try. So like I said, tomorrow I make that first step, a step that could lead to a successful journey and a new and rewarding career. Just hope my family will understand my move. Actually I don't really care what they will think, it's my move....my life.


We'll see we'll see.

First things first a special thanks goes out to Raymi for linking me. Which would explain the tremendous increase in the number of hits to my humble blog. Again thanks, I am truely honored.

One good thing about today being Sunday is I can't bore you about my day at work. haha Actually Sundays are uaually not a good day for me, in this small town I live in everything in town seems to think they need to close down. Don't they know this is my only day off, and my only chance to visit their place of business. Oh well, it's their loss. However I did manage to get the normal Sunday routine of grocery shopping( yes there is actually a grocery store open on Sunday, amazing I know), as well as getting my laundry done. I know a day filled with true excitment, be still my heart. Good thing is I was able to get this accomplished in the morning which left me all afternoon to work on some plans I am formulating. Plans I hope someday will get me away from that rock quarry I work at.

Tomorrow is the 13th good thing it's Monday and not Friday. What's that, oh nooo I'm not superstitious, ok, sometimes I think I might be.....but just a little. So today I decided to conduct an experiment to prove once and for all I am not superstitious. I went out and found a black cat to cross my path, walked under a couple of ladders, oh and stepped on every crack in the sidewalk I could find. There see nothing happened.....oh wait, why do I get the feeling I shouldn't be standing right next to thisbuilding right now.

Below are a couple of photos I did after getting the idea from some pic's i saw ANTIdo on his site.



whoaaaa total concentration, or was I just making sure not to lose that good looking blonde in the car ahead of me.

Her are three pic's from a project I was working on called.....Sometimes I Scare Myself.

It's getting late and yes I do have to be up early to go to work so that's it for now.

Not much to say exciting tonight. It was another typical day. Went back to work today after taking yesterday off. Well I did get some good news when I got to work this morning. Turns out while I was off yesterday they took the time to fix the heater in my truck. YAY!!!!! It's about damned time I must say, only been on them for about two or three weeks now for them to fix it. It was nice to actually have heat and be warm while driving down the road. It also means now I dont have to dress like Nanook of the North while I'm driving my truck. Call me strange but I can do without air-conditioning in the summer, but by god I better have my heater in the winter.

Look at the picture below, tell me if you don't see the snail( without it's shell of course).



Ok, ok so maybe I'm streatching it a bit, but come on use your imagination.

Dat's it for now. Later

Today was a little different, was up bright and early ready to go to work when a family situation came up. So I took the day off to handle it. As it turned out it wasn't as bad as first thought so I kinda felt like I was skipping work. Haven't felt like that since I was in highschool haha.

I had a little time to sit around and do some thinking and it occurred to me that soon it will be March /April. What's so important about that you might ask, well that time of the year means vacation time. I know it is a strange time to be taking a vacation, but in the rock quarry business it's hard to get them to let you go on vacation during the summer. Since it's the peak production season, they have some strange idea that we should be there working, instead of off enjoying ourselves and relaxing.



Last April I went to Vegas for a week. Now that was a fun week. Plenty of gambling and even more sightseeing. It's amazing just how much there is to just wander around and see there. Ok, I know you are wondering....but did he win? Answer is surprisingly yes, the last day and night I was there I won $1400.00. Phew that helped haha.



So now I am in the process of figuring out where to go this year. I have a couple of ideas in mind but nothing for sure yet. If anyone has any good ideas let me know.

Ever wanted to do something or go somewhere or just anything, where the response was not untill hell freezes over. Well you're in luck.

As you have probably noticed one of the ideas i came up with to spruce this site up is to try and use more photos. So at the risk of overdoing it here are a couple of photos of me doing my favorite thing after a long day at work. Yep, just sitting and relaxing for a little while.



Ahhh yes notice the formal attire we wear to work. Also appears as though it may be time to shave. Oh what the hell maybe I'll just let it grow out a little.

That's it for now. Later

Ok so i've been slacking off and not updating. Wish I could say it was because I have been very busy, but that's simply not the case. Maybe i've just been lazy...no that's not it. I know I just havn't had anything new and/or interesting to say. One can only write about going to work and coming home to surf around on the internet so many times before it starts getting old. So right now i'm not going to bore you with the insipid details of my boring day at work. Instead I am sitting here trying to think of some ways to make this little blog of mine a little more lively. I have an idea or two but have not worked them out yet. Well I am off to work out these details, more later.

I know I've said this before but we sure have the damndest(is that a word, oh well it is for me) weather here. It is January 7 and we normally would be freezing our asses off, but tomorrow it is supposed to be 70-75 degrees here. Go figure. But then again by Friday it is supposed to back in the lower 30's. Ahh yes good get sick weather.

It was another normal day at work. That's the one thing about working at a rock quarry it's the same thing day in and day out. Hauled in 24 loads of crushed rock today in ten hours time. It wouldn't be so bad if we could travelon different roads. But instead we travel up and down the same 5 mile stretch of road everyday. Oh and when I say road I am being very generous. These are dirt roads that we travel on in trucks designed for highway use. I might add that the company I work for, or maybe it's just our boss, doesn't believe in maintaining the road we drive on. So saying it was very rough would be an underststement. I have said all along they should replace the tires we have rubber balls, cause that would make bouncing up and down that road easier to take.

I have been feeling somewhat tired tonight. I know it's not from working to hard(how hard can it be to drive a truck). I think it's my lack of sleep, no wait my unwillingness to give up go to bed and get a proper nights sleep. I am going to try and get to bed before 2 a.m., maybe that will help. It's 10:30, i think i will get ready and head to bed soon. Later

I was all set to try and do todays post, but I'm sitting here ready to fall asleep. I'm afraid anything I might try to post would not making any sense at all. So maybe tomorrow. Later

So it's whoa, slow down already. Today has been one of those got a million things to do days. Which shouldn't be that bad, but i'm the type that when I get started I want to finish now. For example i had household chores, laundry to do, grocery shopping, put up x-mass decorations, work on special projects just to name a few. And I never seem to be able to get them done fast enough. Pretty soon I feel like I have been running a sprint race and then everything spins into one big blurrrr. I got most of them done, however I had to catch myself and slow down. One of these times I'm going to figure out that I can't get it all done at once, and learn how to pace myself. A lot of this stems from only having one day off, and I hate to waste it away doing chores, so I try and rush through them.

Here is where I wish I was. Sitting on the beach of a tropical island, with a few special friends watching a sunset such as this.

Seems as though things are getting back to normal. Yep was up bright and early and off to work. This i a norm that I hope to change soon. Need to find me something where I can make a living without working six days a week, and of those six days, five days we work almost half of the day. Ok, so right now we only work ten hours a day, two hours short of half a day. But that will change I'm sure with the onset of spring and longer periods of daylight. Enough complaining for now, just know I am working on making some changes take place. I've been reading and studying most of tonight, trying to learn some new things that will help me make those changes I was speaking of. I just took a short break to make this post. Back to reading.

I have seen interview things on other people's sites, so I thought I'd do one of my own. With a twist that is. The twist is that this is an interview where all the answers I give are funny, dumb, silly and evasive. So go check out THE INTERVIEW. And feel free to let me know what you think.

Ok so I did rebuid this site, hopefully as close to the other site I had. Actually I've already wrote a nice long post explaining that, but for some reason it didn't publish grrrr!!! And at this point I am getting to lazy to try and remember everything I said before. Also to get to the other site I had before the account got screwed up go to the link in the left hand column. Maybe it will work this time. More Later.
