Alright, you have a great Tuesday there, Paul. Thank you very much for coming by. It's been a couple of days, I know that, but you are always busy like the rest of us. Anyway, nice to meet you today. Hey, what MDR? Let's pick it up with Mike. Hey Mike, what's going on this afternoon? Good morning, evening, or afternoon, whatever it is for wherever you are. This is killing MDR. Yeah, I don't have much going on today. It's just another day starting work here at Sound Transit, fixing some trains so you all can enjoy riding them. At least if you're in the Puget Sound area here. My critter report is the nine little kittens that I have are doing absolutely wonderful. They are starting to eat regular food. In fact, I had breakfast in bed. My daughter made me a little sausage sandwich. I had a crumb of it sitting on my plate when the kittens were on the bed with me. I ran over, sniffed it, didn't pay much attention to it, came back a minute later, sniffed it again, and gobbled it. Next thing you know, that kitten is climbing up on me trying to get the rest of my sandwich. Apparently this kitten likes sausage. I had to eat the sandwich before I got mugged by nine little kittens that wanted the sandwich. The little guys are doing good. They're learning how to use the litter box. They're doing not perfect, but they're doing pretty good with that one. They're only about a month old, so I'm not going to get mad at them for any of that. They're still learning. They're a lot of fun. And let's see here. Radio Wires, I still haven't heard from Yesu. I'm hoping to hear from them here soon about getting my new WiresX account set up. Last night I was also looking into what I have to do for dealing to work, and I'm totally confused on that one. I'm not quite getting it, so I'll need to read a little bit more up on how to do that. But aside from that, I'm going to be fixing trains here in a few minutes. This is K1 MDR. Alright, well it certainly sounds challenging with nine kittens walking around and raising a sausage and going after your sausage sandwiches and everything. Hey, what do you do on the rowing stock though? That really piques my curiosity. Are you mechanical, electrical? What is your range of duties? Or are you one of those jack of all trades and you do the entire thing maybe? Well, I am a jack of all trades, but unfortunately I can't do that with this job. So with this job, I am an electromechanic is the official title, which means I work on the light rail vehicles themselves. I don't work with the track. I don't work with the overhead. I just work with the little train sets. And I do anything and everything that needs to be fixed, maintained, or repaired. Whether it be just doing a preventative maintenance job like I did last night. I was fixing the doors. Well, I had to fix a couple of them, but mainly just doing the preventative maintenance and making sure everything works the way it's working. The parts that are supposed to be greasy are greasy and the parts that are not are not. You know, that kind of thing. But when something breaks, I get to repair it on just the light rail vehicle itself. So yeah, anything and everything that needs to be done. And though around the house, I'm a jack of all trades, so I never have to call anybody when I need my plumbing fixed or a new light socket put in. I just get out and go get the parts I need and do it myself. My name is K1MDR.
