It's crazy right now with as far as capacity, our production capacity goes. So, we're super challenged with keeping stuff in stock, which is great, but we got to fix that, like, quickly because we're out of stock a lot of things. We're going to have, we have a plan in place for a post-Atlanta <del style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Penn </del>show to change our production. Um, flow, if you will. Um, we'll talk about it more when we have more details, but just to give you a, a, a preview, we're bringing it all in-house. Um, instead of getting fabric cut outside, getting people to help us sew things outside, um, having someone else in the U.S. Make our cases. We've tried and failed and tried and failed and tried and failed multiple times, multiple thousands of dollars trying to get help to make our cases. We're going to do it ourselves. Um, that's going to involve a huge change at the shop. We're going to be buying equipment. Um, we're going to be buying a laser cutter. We're going to be doing all these crazy things. We're going to be hiring more people. We're going to like double and triple our capacity. Um, wow. Hopefully by the beginning of summer. Um, it's a big deal for us. Um, we just can't make enough cases and we have the support to sell a lot of cases and we got to figure out how to do it. And we've tried all these things over like the last year to try to increase capacity in what we thought was the best way to do it. And we're learning that the best way to do it is to do it ourselves. Um, it's going to require a lot of work. It's going to require a lot of money. Um, you know, we're doing, but we've, we've got the plan now. We've come to the, you know, we've, we've done all the, uh, done all the homework and we failed a lot of companies from, uh, trying to help us make products and, you know, to keep things how we want to keep things in the U S to keep our quality, the same. Um, we're going to do it ourselves. And, uh, that's, uh, it's going to be awesome, but it's, it's scary as all get out. I'm not going to lie. Me and Jeff are, uh, we're super anxious about this, but, uh, we know it's going to be successful and, um, it's just going to be a huge, huge change. And, um, we, we, we just have to make more cases.
