Rainy days and Mondays always get me down. Not that it's raining, but that popped into my head for a Monday. Anyhow, a huge nine tracks for you today because I can see the end of the month from here and I think I can afford to splurge a little. I need to do a better count, but I think we're gonna have a good little run here through the end. Wish I could have been more generous the rest of the month, but there just aren't that many tracks in the pile this year. Maybe 2024, we'll see. So what's actually in the share today?
