So do adjuvants really make that much of a difference when you're doing different testing? How can you see this? Do you notice maybe in the yield? Do you look at it testing either like on a grass paper, like you're looking at paper strips and flying over it with the drone or the plane? How do you test for this and does it really make a difference?
12:57
You know, that's one thing that...
12:59
Depending on the applicator you're talking to, many of these guys are going out and they're doing some strip tests.
13:06
Yes, they're going over either the litmus paper or the little cards, but some of these guys have just done it long enough that they can tell if they've got a good pattern out there.
13:19
Like everything else, the only way that your product, whatever it is, a herbicide, an insecticide, a fungicide, the only way it works is is if it's applied properly and if it hits the target.
13:31
So that's the first thing, is that most of these guys are looking for an anti-drift component because there's always a little bit of wind out there.
13:40
It might only be 3 or 4 miles an hour.
14:23
So there's a lot of different components in there that all need to mix well because there's not much water in there to help combine some of these things.
57:11
Yeah.
57:11
And we've noticed we're a little more able to get some good cap rates for individual investors on the asset.
57:18
And what they do love, Robert, is that it's triple net.
57:21
So the tenant is responsible for the taxes, the insurance, and the maintenance.
57:25
So this is about as passive as you can get and still own the asset.
57:31
A- and I love that part of it because traditionally if you want to participate in this kind of an asset class, you've got to be the developer or a limited partner.
57:40
You either have all the control, maybe to a fault, [laughs] if you don't want to be a developer, or, or you have any.
59:34
Triple net sounds very, very intriguing, uh, from that regard.
4:54
So what has happened to Steve in your life? What have you learned the hard way or the easy way that brought you here today that mindset is such a key? Oh, that's a great question.
5:05
What I learned in my life, I had the privilege of growing up in Colorado, even though I was born in New Jersey, but I don't remember it.
5:12
And what I realized is, especially living in the mountains, How critical it is that your environment can influence how you think.
5:21
So part of the key is wherever you're at, you want to be in a peaceful, mindful location, even if you may not physically be there.
5:30
Now, my own upgrade is that I've always been interested in coaching.
5:35
In fact, when I was in junior high, I was the captain on the winning junior high football team.
5:42
I was going to be a super football player and a quarterback.

8 MINS LATER

13:17
That mindset is so crucial.
7:12
Yo,
7:12
Hackett was at this day.
7:13
This is not MCO, but I'm there with this Grammy Award winning songwriter guy.
7:19
I'm there with the old Ramones manager, Linda Stein.
7:23
They're with a couple other, like they're just hanging out with us.
7:27
And Rob Henley, I don't know if I should say his full name, but I did.
7:30
Anyway, he's loaded with pills and Coke and dope.

1 HR 11 MINS LATER

78:05
Yeah, but they were surfers.
21:51
But I understand this went sideways, lateral, is that right?
21:54
It did, and that was one of the reason that the danger zones around the mountain were so close to the volcano.
22:00
Of the 57 people who died, 54 were outside the danger zones, and the three who were inside the danger zones actually had permission to be in that, in that area.
22:09
Before 1980, volcanologists didn't have a lot of experience with volcanoes that collapsed.
22:15
But since Mount St. Helens, because of all the lessons that they learned from that eruption, they've actually identified hundreds of volcanoes all over the world, some on other planets, that have done just that.
22:24
They have collapsed and then rebuilt themselves back up and then collapsed again.
24:04
What's the legacy, uh, for them of Mount St. Helens?
24:07
You know, lots of people in Southwest Washington and elsewhere lost family members that day.
