Going to rescue another ham who's broke down up here on Frank Lloyd Wright.
00:03
I'm away from you.
00:04
I just made the I-10 transition to 51 north at the ear neck of the woods though.
00:10
There twice today,
00:11
going to and from a job up there.
00:14
But, yeah, it sounds like Ron, (name withheld), might have tossed a belt or something.
00:21
He's pulled over in an alley up here kind of blocking everybody.
00:25
But try to get to him to see if I help get him out of the road anyway.
00:28
He picked the weather for it, I guess.
00:30
It's a little warm.
00:31
Well, I guess, fortunately, he's on the shaded side of a building or something, so it's not too bad for him.
00:37
But, holy cow, guys flying.
00:38
He got a Mustang thinks he's on a raceway here.
00:42
There's something that makes people want to go fast.
00:45
On the other hand, just in good year, and I'm fairly sure a number of people there are colorblind, they can't see the color red.
00:53
Yeah, I hear that.
00:54
And he came up beside me, there was a tire debris in the middle of the road there, and he smacked that, that flew up, hit the car behind him, and almost caused a wreck, but everybody stayed together here.
01:10
You know, if your friend is blocking the road,
01:13
I know police have push bumpers on their car and then gladly push him out of the way just to get the road clear to thought.
01:22
Yeah, he could actually just start it and move out of the way.
01:26
It's not going to hurt the...
01:27
He's been sitting long enough now, the truck cooled off that he could start it up and move out of the road and it wouldn't hurt anything.
01:33
But I guess you don't want to do that.
01:35
So he overheated it was what the drive felt is more like a, like the, well I guess they're all serpentates anyway now.
01:43
Assuming that it's the belt because it just got hot all of a sudden, but it could be the water pump seized up, but an idler pull it could be anything.
01:52
I'll find out when I get there he can't get down and crawl under and look and look over the hood and see it's a pickup truck, it's not real tall, but you know, he still can't get up there to look at it.
