Unit 1 to green and gold routes. We are now off of detour, full McCormick Road service that is including the hard left turn onto University. Lemming or this copy? Green copy. Block 9, copy. 511 copy. Please do use caution in that triangle because there is still that hold to your right. It's covered with plastic, with a nice little bit of drop-off, but we still have enough room. We can show how much of a professional we are. Thank you. One quick. Round three, have you left the garage? I'm about five minutes away. Okay. 18 and 1. Go ahead. I am on Lane Road and there's a firetress, and there are also cars for blocking the other side of the road, so I'm just sitting there. Okay, for her, keep me posted, let me know when you're rolling again. Fire truck may be leaving. Block 17 approaching the Ivy Cutout. I'm going to live in unit one channel two. 212 the base. I can't make my right here on lease, so I'm going to go down to the next. intersection, fire trucks and bunch stuff is got it all congested. It's got the big following thing you know. Yeah, they're right there in the turn, so. 18 of 1. We're all good. I'm looking at 1. What? A little bit. Get it 1 or 2? 2. 2nd your back. Round 3. I'm behind you. We're going to... I have some path on a team. Yeah, I'll wait. I'll go ahead. I don't know if it's raining one, Zach. Go ahead. I don't know if it's raining as hard at center ground as it is at Ferris. That that hole is it still open. You just say it's open. I think that hole is still open because it might be some significant undermining going on to the rain. Can you repeat that one more time? To confirm, you did say we are used in the hard turn at the formic and that the hole is still there? Correct. 10-4. If it is raining as hard there as it is here at North Grounds, we'll have to be extra cautious because there might be some undermining due to the rain. And four, if you get to that point and you do not feel safe, you can let me know before you head on to rugby and use Culver.

Starting at 1150, when you leave your time stop, I'm going to need you to avoid McCormick Road. It will shut down from 12th to further notice. So when you leave your time stop, I believe you should be leaving from Barracks. So just had straight on Emmett into stadium like we do normally on full service on Pre's 1800. And do your route that way to everything every stop along the way. And coming back, you do the same thing. Ten-four, did you want me to start now or the next loop? At 1150 departure. Whenever you're 1150 departure, which I believe will be in barracks, that's when you will start. All right, ten-four. I appreciate you. This is one to block one green line. I don't know if you heard that last transmission, but if you did... you will be staying in university and not making that left into McCormick when you're headed back to stadium, not to Hereford, sorry, you will be making that arrival to university straight down to Emmett and then making a lesson to Emmett and servicing every stop along the way that we will normally do full service pre-1,300, 3,800. Please let me know if you copy. I copy. You want me start that now? If you will start that at 1140, when you leave my present 1140, please put a little note on your blog package and you will start at 1140 as soon as you leave my present, then you start running that route. Once you get into rugby, you make that running to university. Service every stop along the way. Keep going straight into university into Emmett. And then Emmett at the stoplight, you're going to make a left, like we will normally do on full service. and run your route that way. And it's going to, you're going to do the same thing coming back to soup on duty tells you any different. 1.91-1-1-all-3-2-0-3. 10-4. It's just like the 3,800 before, right? That's correct. I'll send a reminder out before also. But if I happen to don't send it because I forget, just 1140, once you leave my present, remember you're going to write. you're going to drive pre-8,800. 10-4, thank you. Face to the trolley.
