We could never in a million years afford the technology that goes into constantly updating equipment, constantly updating things like bridges, the best, newest thing that comes along, even. And we'll go into that in a second. You know, even the company that brought out the zipper for us to try and look at, you know, it is amazing. You know, they really do do that with no expectations. And what would.

I mean, what in the world would we do without it? You know, we really have exceptional companies that serve this company, this county, from locally and abroad all over the country. And that really. And it makes you proud the lengths they're willing to go to, to earn the county residents business, because that ultimately is who is paying all the bills, of course, are county residents. And so for them to, you know, the lengths they go to to earn the business, and they really do.

And the fact that we benefit from all of the research and technology they're constantly doing to improve their. The things that we buy from them, from toilet paper to weed and seed. And every year I think of. I was thinking of that this morning. One of the things that I'll leave with is that how fortunate we are to see technology changing, how we can do business all the time because of.

Because there is. There's a better way, and it's kind of. It's fun, and it gives you something to really look forward to. There's never been a better time to solve problems, and it's amazing. We, you know, you kind of take it for granted sometimes.

I remember one of the companies that come to the crossroads center and stay in four or five, six days to work with Shane's crew free of charge on. On how to strip that floor, how to re wax it, how to buff it, how to do everything and using their product, but, you know, pretty impressive service.

Yeah.

So with that, is that everything on your regular update? And then we'll move to the next item, which is discussion and consideration of purchasing a replacement asphalt zipper

Mike, we're going to turn some time over to you, I do think. Was there some things in our packet? Yes. So we'll let you tell us a little bit about this product and what you guys observed. I really appreciate we twisted commissioner Miles arm and said, you know, go up there and get a firsthand view of the whole thing.

And again, it goes to show you what technology has been able to change to make things better.

So with that. Go ahead, Mike.
