Hey,
01:20
Ryan, how are you? What's going on with your water?
01:24
I got a tank water.
01:26
He's still trying to hit high here, so we should have a little bit in a second.
01:30
I've got Humboldt here that can set up a tank and pump to you guys as well.
01:36
But I'm right in front of nine, that'd be great.
01:38
I'll come in from the west.
01:41
Okay, any chance you can come down and help coordinate that?
01:49
Yes, Chief, I did.
01:52
Thank you.
01:54
Kenny, how are you doing on the back?
01:56
And, Chief Meister, how you guys doing?
02:01
Doing good, Chief.
02:02
We've got to, I think we got to check,
02:05
tip it out the two closest exposures at this morning.
02:10
I think as soon as we can get water to nine and get a good established water supply,
02:16
we'll be able to knock this down quick.
02:20
Copy that.
02:27
Bratley, sir,

We're going to need to set a dump tank operation at Shelby and 15th.
03:56
Humboldt is here.
03:57
Do you want us to start that?
04:05
We can either do that or we can set it right here at 16th in Champagne.
04:09
I don't know what you had down there.
04:11
Hey, Fred, you coordinate with that.
04:14
We've about got this now, but I'm going to want 309 to flow and completely suck it down.
04:23
So you've got Wabash and Cooksmill coming your way to help you with your water shuttle.
04:34
All tankers, again, need to go to first.

05:06
Go ahead.
05:09
As soon as we can get a good established water to 309, I think it won't take very long between the two aerials to polish this thing off.
05:21
Okay, perfect.
05:22
You just go back.
05:27
For middle.
05:37
