Did he go through this on 285?
00:14
Kila, Kila 4 down from November Friday.
00:16
Negative, I was actually westbound and passed it.
00:24
You lucky dog!
00:27
We are crawling over here. I can't imagine how far traffic is backed up now.
00:34
And it was rolling along so darn good.
00:43
There, PQJ, where are we talking, Paul? Where are we talking?
00:47
Uh,
00:48
hey Don, it was 285, just,
00:51
uh...
00:53
just west of Beepard Highway exit. But last I saw a pole, it was when I exited 400, or exited to 400, it was sort of backing up as I was watching it.
01:23
It'll be backed up to Roswell Road before you know it there, Don.
01:29
You know,
01:33
I have some options before that, but we'll see.
01:42
Good day if you maybe listen to Miss Wayne there.
02:04
Did you hear me telling OZI about that machine today? Finally got it running.
02:14
So, it had to be something.
02:23
Okay,
02:25
okay, LaForte down time for November. I'll be clearing y'all fine. I have a phone call coming.
02:32
All right, y'all have a good one. We'll talk to you tomorrow, possibly Kilo-Kil4 Delta Alpha for November.
02:36
Clearing y'all.
02:39
All right, you have a good evening.
02:44
There is me, Dan. You'll catch you later.

with this piece of equipment today,
03:03
because it turned out,
03:05
it wasn't nothing mechanical, it wasn't this, it wasn't that,
03:09
went into electrical,
03:12
pulling voltage,
03:15
down the line,
03:17
and noticed a drop.
03:19
And it was a drop coming out of an R&S.
03:26
filter for the motor.
03:39
I ordered one, like $80, and went around it for now.
03:57
Oh,
04:01
see.
04:07
That's six hours, man, that's a killer.
04:10
What, you know, the thing,
04:12
take that thing off the six hours in your day behind.
04:16
But,
04:18
yeah, you know, the other guy, I've always looked at him as knowing more about that kind of stuff than me.
04:26
And we were both stuffed.
04:28
But I was the one that actually told him, no, I check right there.
04:32
What is that? I actually knew what it was.
04:35
Imagine that.
04:46
This is the WC4AQ and 446 machine.
05:04
You got me, one of them LED billboards that I've already gone by, it said five left-hand lanes closed.
05:16
Man, that's a heck of an accident right there.
05:20
It almost sounds like an 18-wheeler.
05:24
Lost it or something.
05:26
But that's a lot of lanes down.
05:33
It may have the fire truck sideways across the road.
05:41
True,
05:42
true.
05:44
Heck, if I was out there, I'd want anything sideways across the road too.
05:47
These maniacs out here some days.
