there were sirens all around. So I'm driving down the driveway, hoping that the wreck is...
00:06
to my east and not to the west in the direction I need to, oh yeah,
00:11
everybody stopped.
00:13
So there's a traffic kerfuffle just west of 360 on Bee Caves Rd.
00:32
You gonna be able to get around it?
00:35
Oh, it's literally there are, I can see the police cars and I'm not even to the end of the driveway.
00:42
Oh, it's right here at that little side street as you go around the corner, so we're gonna be here a while.
00:58
Yeah,
01:00
I don't know if you heard me, I was telling Stuart that I wanted to open up that radio last night and inspect the insides of it, but before I even got home, my boss was texting me with the problem.
01:10
So I went home, ate dinner, and then I had to log back on to work and take care of that, man. So I hate that when work interferes with your radio time.
01:23
Yep, I'm trying to decide which way I need to go home because that wreck is right there and it's blocked everything. I guess I need to go back and go down Mopac.
01:31
Wait a minute.
01:33
Nope, I can go around 360 and then go around Southwest Parkway. That's what I'll do.
01:41
Let me call my wife and tell her I'm going to be late because there's ambulances, fire trucks, there's all kinds of emergency vehicles there.
01:51
But I'll be temporary clear, I'll be back to WA5AZQ.
01:56
All right Michael, this is K-I-5 UBA clear monitoring.
02:16
Okay, all right, I'm back.
02:29
It's a good thing you have some food in the car, man.
02:32
If you get stuck, then you'll be able to survive. You won't starve.
02:37
Well, I'm going to keep moving. I'm moving around 360 and slow, but at least I'm moving. That traffic back there is backed up all the way into Westlake and, I'm sure,
02:51
Rollingwood,
02:52
because they were not moving west.
02:54
at all.
02:56
And so it's that neighborhood right past 360, kind of go around the bend,
03:03
and it's kind of catty-cornered from the county line driveway there, and the emergency vehicles were backed up all the way in front of the county line, so I squeezed through them and got on 360s. So it'll be a little bit of delay, but not too bad.
03:24
Well, I say that and I haven't got to Mopak yet, so there's that.
