Good question.
I'm sorry.
We took the ones that I talked with, didn't we?
That's already been removed, and Doug is getting the one out of Birch right now and checking it.
Okay.
Now let's go check it.
I just checked to find out.
But if he doesn't use the basket regular, I'm going to relocate it.
I don't know how reliable it is.
Frontier is no problem.
Can you pick a phone up in the kitchen, sir?
And I'll buzz you and let you know when I'm buzzing.
This is Harry.
I made you pick up a phone in the kitchen tonight.
Could you connect me to it?
In the kitchen.
There is a gallon there.
Okay, here we go.
Okay.
Okay, let me try it here.
I noticed a couple of seconds hold down, but that's about normal.
Yeah, okay.
You can be reliable now.
There's just one out there.
Okay, well I just wanted to make sure that was okay before I let him use it.
Okay, thank you.
I ain't forgotten no ventilator yet.
No, I keep buying that phone.
Then I leave your company off.
Yeah, I ain't trying to do it all.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Test, test, test, test.
This is an audio test.
I've got 271.
3, 4, 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Take another couple.
3, 2, 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
I don't know, yeah.
I think maybe he used his head to take a bath in it, but did you see the rug in that head?
Yeah.
Step on it.
I wanted to see if I had a bath in that head.
I had it, but I wanted to see if I had a bath in that head.
I don't know.
I don't know why he's back.
Could have just huddled the other side.
Couldn't figure it out that way.
I think I might take the weekend off if you would feel that was a good time to do it.
Because I don't get home very often.
Yeah.
So if you don't mind, we'll go ahead and do that.
Okay.
Very good.
I'd like to tell... What was the question?
I know you had a question there.
Yeah.
All right.
