We are here this morning to talk about insurance renewal approval. Welcome Chris. Go over some of the specifics with us. Right. Well, good morning. Um, thanks for having me. Um, we are here today to talk about um um I guess it's a fairly challenging subject. Um, not one that uh that we're super excited about um given our current situation, but nevertheless um we'll go through um where we're at with our insurance renewal. Um and then um you guys can ask questions. It's the arrows left and right. Let's go ahead and advance it. Right.
