outside jobs to help some of our uh demo outfits with which is nice because you know we still have some landfills and maybe try to squeeze in a a couple bailing jobs before the snow starts flying you know so you know and you know we’re still we’re still getting customers in every day you know man you’re still fairly busy you know going into winter this winter could be an interesting challenge I think for a lot of people we’ll see we’ll see what happens um when I was speaking the scrap flow is moving and tires are definitely moving and you know the drivers like we are trucks and movements there’s not a whole lot to complain about I’ve seen it significantly worse so you know let’s keep this keep this party going all right next week we hopefully have a better news for everyone maybe we see a lot more green the rest of the week we’ll see what happens and next week next Monday will be October man here we go be in October all right thank you Brad thank you all right Steve
