What do you think about possibly putting a drone up? I don't think we have a big area here.
00:05
We have to work 143.
00:06
Two-out Manor, 2230 Chapel Street, Department 415, federal natural gas inside of the apartment.
00:13
We can't put the drone up, that's fine.
00:15
I'm going to contact Corpus Christi.
00:17
It's 10-4[3]. I'm going to go and check the area right here.
00:20
It's going to be within a couple block radius.
00:22
93[1] to 13[2]. Is Hohen grabbing that, or do I need to go back and get it?
00:25
I'm not sure.
00:26
Hohen left from where I was.
00:28
If you two want to coordinate that, I think the area we're probably going to work with is...
00:31
Oh, cool. I would say B.S.A.
00:33
700 block up to the plaza.
00:35

Bring a small drone up?
01:10
Yeah, his journey has.
01:11
Let's see if he'd be willing to come up and assist us for a minute.
01:14
That's coffee. 153[6] to 13[2] you think it'd be beneficial to get to check the riverbank down here at 11th or wait till they put the bird in the air?
01:19
I'd both wait till they put that in the air but we're going to have to start on a parameter at least the whole north and south.
