And I wanna give a shout out to OMB, our task force, Steven Malmberg and Celina Young and Gianna Parisi, have been really, really supportive and have been really great partners, thought partners, on looking at the budgeting that is necessary to maintain these assets as we grow the program.

We've also been working very closely with OMB on the types of vehicles that we need for maintenance purposes, and they've been working very hard to help us understand those types of budgetary needs, But we do have a very robust staff.
