Busy day. I mean, it's, uh, 4:30 and 34 degrees, so it's gonna be another cold night. But we've been plugging away here, uh, staying busy doing meetings and, uh, trying to get as many people heat as possible. Hey guys, Derek Cole here. The main problem we see any season is dirt.
Just like the sun that died in the night, you know your love doesn't shine on me anymore. I lie amongst the things we shared, hoping I'd forget those things were yours. Something here's not right.
Too busy yesterday? No. Oh, we ain't busy. When it gets 17 degrees, we got a problem.
She's kidding. Now he knows. What, 44 calls you said?
This guy was actually perfect. Yes, sir. I don't know where that phone— I don't listen to— I mean, I don't listen. I think you making some serious money today. Yep. It just blows my mind, all the extra economizers we have, there's none back there anymore. Damn, quite a few. Should at least keep some spare parts off a couple of them, cuz right now I need one. Bad, and I don't want to pay $100 for them. They rip the— What? It used to cost like $120. They kind of— No, they kind of themselves about $350. Controller? Yeah, last time I bought it, but that was like 10 years ago. They used to actually sell commercial units. Before I was kicked out. I signed ACA agreements, I signed contracts, replaced every unit.
Throw it all away.
So I want to let you know the challenge in front of us— well, it's not in front of you. 'Cause you just going to ask me where we're going to move it. That's right. What are we going to do if it doesn't happen? Yeah, there's your straight line. That's right.
Hey, I don't even need it.
There you go.
You got a line right there.
Yep. Is that me? We got it, Kev. Looks short to me. Where's the regular one at? Let's see if I can do two. People are suffering with no heat. I think so. We're cutting, we're cutting boulders too. Yeah. Busy day. I mean, it's, uh, 4:30 and 34 degrees, so it's gonna be another cold night, but we've been plugging away here, uh, staying busy, doing meetings and, uh, trying to get as many people heat as possible.
