So, oh, I said, Dale, we lost power last night for a couple hours.
00:04
It was the only place from the east side.
00:07
A car hit a transformer,
00:08
so not too far from my house.
00:11
So everybody west of Market Street didn't have power last night.
00:14
So turn on my generator.
00:16
I thought my power line noise would be gone.
00:19
It's not, I don't know, it's causing the great noise on each of.
00:22
I'm probably going to hire someone to figure this out and pay some money.
00:26
Anyway, Jack, thanks on the net.
00:27
Back to you, sir.
00:28
The scale of the 7 alpha, Delta, and I collate.
00:33
All right, well hold on there, Echo Link, Michael.
00:36
Now you said a car hit a transformer.
00:39
Usually those things are hiked up way up the top of an utility pole.
00:43
So how is that possible? Does a car ramp off of something?
00:52
Let's see Alpha 7 Alpha Delta again.
00:54
Well, I could be pulling your leg because I was those aerial cars.
00:57
But no,
00:58
along our street, the main street here, they have transformers down in the center of the road in the divided area, which is to me a poor idea.
01:08
But anyway, so that's where I was hit.
01:10
Just north of our house a little ways, about,
01:13
oh, half a dozen blocks, so cut out the power, shorted it out for the whole area.
01:19
west of Market Street.
01:21
So that's how they get it.
