@Dave DeMink Did you get the ReoLink Argus P/T (https://www.amazon.com/REOLINK-Argus-PT-Ultra-Auto-Tracking/dp/B0C2PY2KTJ/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1PHHU1A1K38DP&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9._2EODsVEECH9lxPB2OR3DcaEfIepZpxbWdUrQ2KrDZiGfk6zhlQCwIwaX7uk3pskYJg7C5X5axTQnmC1lyjhtrltdnSy_Err2auvPxKXmn2k4bKMqoEfl1zFBmAzexX1rQ3kMDiV-IioJyHoLaFFtgQN6on_18Ucn2HqkTHR0nRaHEa95voe4CH7PLH9e-GwU3_MFHHnjPKeuh6K1DEeKN9b0tc5r-VBrs5_nwAGjyY.Gh0wc-YiPM2MQSR7NtZuYtYLEpuT_zfE8vIfUB4D90I&dib_tag=se&keywords=reolink%2Bargus%2Bp%2Ft%2Bsolar&qid=1764356449&sprefix=reolink%2Bargus%2Bp%2Ft%2Bsola%2Caps%2C197&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1)? If not - which reolink do you recommend? Did you get an SD card for each camera or did you create a "hub" ?

Just a quick note from my heart to yours… I’m incredibly thankful you’re here. That you’ve chosen to explore self-storage — not just for income, but for freedom. For your family. For your future. For the legacy you’re building. I don’t take that lightly. It means the world to me that I get to be a small part of your journey — and I promise to keep showing up, helping you find deals, and walking the path with you. But today? I hope you disconnect. Turn off the noise. Step away from the scroll. And fully soak up the joy, laughter, and love of the people right in front of you. Happy Thanksgiving. You’ve earned every bite. With gratitude and gravy, Dave “Cornbread Sausage Stuffing for President” DeMink

Dave, thanks again for a great call. Being able to go over the analyzing tool in "Real Time" is priceless. Ken thanks to you for taking the baton for the last portion of the call. Some of the things you share may seem like no big deal, but to those of who are just getting started.. to have access to all you've learned from the mistakes to the wins is huge. Finally, I have to echo what Cedric said about the community that Dave's building here within "First Facility", absolutely amazing and I won't be surprised to where you're going to take it. Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
