[0:00] Good question.
[0:30] I'm sorry.
[1:22] We took the ones that I talked with, didn't we?
[1:26] That's already been removed, and Doug is getting the one out of Birch right now and checking it.
[1:32] Okay.
[1:32] Now let's go check it.
[3:48] I just checked to find out.
[3:50] But if he doesn't use the basket regular, I'm going to relocate it.
[3:56] I don't know how reliable it is.
[3:57] Frontier is no problem.
[4:26] Can you pick a phone up in the kitchen, sir?
[4:29] And I'll buzz you and let you know when I'm buzzing.
[4:42] This is Harry.
[4:43] I made you pick up a phone in the kitchen tonight.
[4:45] Could you connect me to it?
[4:50] In the kitchen.
[4:51] There is a gallon there.
[4:58] Okay, here we go.
[5:07] Okay.
[5:07] Okay, let me try it here.
[5:13] I noticed a couple of seconds hold down, but that's about normal.
[5:18] Yeah, okay.
[5:19] You can be reliable now.
[5:23] There's just one out there.
[5:27] Okay, well I just wanted to make sure that was okay before I let him use it.
[5:47] Okay, thank you.
[6:20] I ain't forgotten no ventilator yet.
[6:29] No, I keep buying that phone.
[6:32] Then I leave your company off.
[6:34] Yeah, I ain't trying to do it all.
[8:11] Thank you.
[8:24] Thank you.
[9:00] Test, test, test, test.
[9:06] This is an audio test.
[9:18] I've got 271.
[9:34] 3, 4, 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
[9:43] Take another couple.
[9:45] 3, 2, 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
[13:28] Thank you.
[14:07] I'm sorry.
[14:38] Okay.
[17:18] I don't know, yeah.
[17:20] I think maybe he used his head to take a bath in it, but did you see the rug in that head?
[17:31] Yeah.
[17:31] Step on it.
[17:33] I wanted to see if I had a bath in that head.
[17:37] I had it, but I wanted to see if I had a bath in that head.
[17:41] I don't know.
[17:47] I don't know why he's back.
[17:53] Could have just huddled the other side.
[17:57] Couldn't figure it out that way.
[19:34] I think I might take the weekend off if you would feel that was a good time to do it.
[19:43] Because I don't get home very often.
[19:52] Yeah.
[19:53] So if you don't mind, we'll go ahead and do that.
[19:57] Okay.
[19:58] Very good.
[19:59] I'd like to tell... What was the question?
[20:02] I know you had a question there.
[20:03] Yeah.
[20:06] All right.
