05:32
You're wondering.
05:35
Yeah Lou, did you find any other odors coming from anywhere? I did walk down that area and then walked down to the electric room and didn't notice anything else.
05:45
I'm thinking that we can reset the file on panel and then these guys can keep an eye on things and still network fix it.
05:51
They're broke.
05:53
Yeah,
05:55
we were just heading you away.

The odor is definitely dissipated a bit.
05:59
And it's the only place we're going to have the odor.
06:02
We checked all the breakers in the cafeteria and nothing stripped here.
06:08
We've shut down, looped up unit seven, heading the way now.
06:13
Receive, if that odor is dissipated, if the APS school program is still outside the building on the Delta side, can you let them in before you coming back to the office?
