Shoot, man, I'm on MacArthur Road now, and there's a long line of traffic to get through the light over here.
00:07
I am not too far behind you then I reckon I am coming up here where the helicopters land and fixing the stop at the stop sign to make the left turn on to MacArthur
00:17
Yeah you're not you're right by him.
00:18
I'm just passing the new Fred Smith company here on they just bought this out I guess But that's moving sure moving on a little bit but it's backed up to that to that construction company
00:31
Yeah, that's pretty normal.
00:32
That happens almost every morning to me.
00:34
I'm going by the helicopter pad now.
00:37
Billy Bill,
00:38
the guys that owned it, shut down.
00:39
That was Billy Bill Graydon and they shut down.
00:41
And I guess Fred Smith bought out and all their employees and equipment and took over the property.
00:46
We need to check the ground elevation.
00:48
Maybe we can put us a repeater on this border tower over here.
00:51
They ain't got nothing on it.
00:53
Sayyaville PWC Water Tower.
00:54
They built that not too long ago because there was, when they built all those neighborhoods near Pine Forest High School there on Andrews Road, they didn't have enough water pressure.
01:03
So they bought that property there and stuck a tower up.
01:06
The pumping station right up the road is right across the street from my grandma's house where my uncle lives now.
01:10
No, okay. Yeah, I remember I saw building this thing.
01:13
I'd come back here quite a bit, are used to.
01:18
But, you know, he must be getting to the traffic by now.
01:22
Still be lying behind me.
01:23
Of course, we're moving along.
01:24
A lot of them are going to, you know, taking a right, but just, I bet you most of this is going to 295.
01:31
Yeah, I'm stomping at the traffic now.
01:33
Yep. Yeah, right there,
01:35
a couple blocks up past Piedens, right before you get to 295.
01:38
If you look to the right, you'll see an old red 65 Chevy pickup backed up in front of a cardboard after my grandma's old house.
01:45
My uncle's living there now.
01:46
Okay. Is that the uncle's got all the projects? He kind of starts and never finishes?
01:50
That is the same one.
01:52
He's now bought floor pans for that Chevel wagons in the backyard that I'm sure he'll wind up putting the floor pans in to replace the rusted ones and then just let it sit till the new floor pans rust out because that's how he operates.
02:03
Gosh.
02:04
Wow. I saw something interesting yesterday.
02:06
I was looking, I wasn't shopping for any cars, but it was a Biscayne that came up on Marketplace.
02:14
I think it was asking 20 grand for the car.
02:16
It wasn't terrible shape, yeah.
02:17
It did need to be restored on the outside, but it had a, it was L.S.
02:21
slot, and whoever did it did a pretty good job.
02:23
of it had digital gauges like real like it was a custom-made screen across the middle section of the dash and it had analog looking but it was all digital gauges it was kind of nice a nice build it just needed to be kind of finished oh yeah i see the truck there it is cool i never realized that
02:45
I'm almost at Andrews Road now, yeah, traffic is a little heavier than usual.
02:49
It usually don't quite back up this bad.
02:51
It backs up a little, but not quite this bad bad.

There must be a wreck on Ramsey Street and everybody's diverting this way, because that's the only time that happens.
