I don't know. I think that's all kind of game time decisions and maybe decisions out of my control. Yeah, I think the plan right now is hopefully everything just gets going as scheduled and we don't have to worry about that. Like I said earlier, I think it's just all kind of spur of the moment decisions, and we'll see.
