Thanks, John. Sun reported $1.13 of FFO per share, excluding certain items for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, in line with our previously provided guidance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, FFO per share, excluding certain items was $3.19, up 10.4% for the nine months ended in 2016. Our adjustments to FFO included charges related to Hurricane Irma. In the quarter, we recorded $7.8 million of catastrophic weather charges, primarily related to tree removal and debris cleanup, public area damages and minor flooding. In addition, we will be taking three of our Florida Keys properties, totaling approximately 190 sites, out of service due to the extent of the damage. These properties, which were acquired as part of the Carefree portfolio, are not part of our same-community pool. We have included a walk of estimated expenses and recoveries in the Portfolio Activity section of our supplemental. It is important to know that these estimates reflect our best evaluation of repair costs and insurance recoveries for the full impact from the storm on Sun properties. We continue to work closely with our insurance providers to finalize these estimates, but we do not anticipate material changes to current estimates. We do however, expect additional insurance recoveries for loss of revenue and redevelopment costs associated with the Florida Keys communities, which cannot be estimated at this time. With respect to liquidity, at quarter-end, Sun had $137 million of unrestricted cash, no borrowings on our line of credit, and a net debt to trailing 12-month EBITDA ratio of six times. As you know, we acquired four high-quality age-restricted communities in California for a total purchase price of $55 million. The acquisitions were completed using a combination of cash, common stock and debt assumption of $4.6 million. The common stock portion comprise $21.4 million of the purchase price issued at $88.36 per share. We believe that the ability to issue common stock for this transaction gave us a distinct advantage in being able to secure these properties. On the capital markets front, we had a relatively quiet quarter as we addressed most of our maturities earlier in the year. We recently announced the November redemption of our $85 million Series A Preferred Stock, which carries a 7 1/8% dividend. With regard to FFO, we are raising our guidance for the fourth quarter to $0.96 to $0.99 per share, which implies an annual FFO per share range of $4.15 to $4.18. This does not include any assumption for additional acquisitions. We also want to remind you that we will be issuing 2018 guidance in conjunction with our fourth quarter earnings. This completes our prepared remarks. And now we'd like to open up the call to questions. Operator?
