P.S. Oct 8th, 2025 Update. Finally back and published the Oct 3, 6th & 7th episodes, today on the 8th. We've had a recording equipment failure, hopefully fixed by tomorrow or very soon. Until then, I'm picking up the KMMR master recording copy and publishing that the day after The 405 airs or as soon as possible. Thanks for stopping by and listening.
I wanna again welcome you to The 405 Coffee Break. Guys, get your cup of coffee, glass iced tea, bottle of water. It's a new week. Let's see what's happening out there.
OK Solberg:Spring wheat, $5.12 a bushel.
OK Solberg:Oh, man. Sit down for this one. A 550lb steer calf, I'm gonna make it a 555lb steer calf, $4.41 a pound. Are you kidding me? I had to check and recheck. No. It's true. Pays, Billings. Larry little owl, five head, black, black, white face, weighed five hundred and fifty pound apiece. That tallies up to $2,447.55. I was wrong. You were right. It keeps going higher. Orvin was wrong. Don't forget it. A butcher hog in Iowa, 59ยข a pound, and 100lb fat lamb in Billings at $2.01, $2.01 a pound. Guys, there's more, much more.
OK Solberg:Okay. Now I first aired this story on Monday, 07/31/2023, but I wanna share it again. In fact, I made mention of it briefly just last week. But see, here's the deal. We hear many fantastic true life happenings, but often and most likely, they come from far distant states or even from different countries. This one, this one belongs to Phillips County, Montana, right here at home. The first time I told it, I said, some of you may well remember this, but believe me, most of you never knew. The story needs to be remembered, relished, savored, and saved.
OK Solberg:I spoke with this man that had this encounter, and he knows from the bottom of his heart that it just wasn't his time to die. There was a protector visiting the hills of South Phillips County in the fall of 1969.
OK Solberg:Let's have our Bible verse to fit the theme, then I'll share this wonderful story again. See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared, Exodus 23:20 Now listen to this true story on the front page of the PCN from the fall of 1969 and see if there was a guardian angel watching over.
OK Solberg:The heading reads, Gene Peigneux, shot by unknown party. Eugene Walter Gene Peigneux 17, is reported to be doing well at the Deaconess Hospital in Glasgow after being struck with a high powered rifle bullet. Gene and his brother Larry, 15, were hunting on separate ridges on their father's ranch north of First Creek Hall, about 40 miles south of Malta. A stray rifle bullet hit Gene passing through his right wrist without touching the bone and into his right side, passing through his body, out through his back on the left side, end of quote. Are you kidding me?
OK Solberg:A high powered bullet, probably a 270 or 30-06, passed through his wrist without breaking a bone and through his body cavity without hitting anything vital and right out the back. It's one in a million, doc. It's one in ten billion. Now I'm gonna keep these episodes recorded because this story should never be forgotten. Remember, I told you just last week that I talked to Gene Peigneux just Thursday, 09/25/2025.
OK Solberg:And Gene said, I guess it wasn't my time. And this is fifty six years later, I hope to shout and call the doctor. I visited with his older brother Joe just last week, and I said, Joe, I want to save these stories to be remembered. What other details can you recall of that happening? Joe, he thinks for a moment and says, well, I wasn't out at the farm at that time.
OK Solberg:I graduated two years earlier in 1967. So I'm living in Malta, and one of the family members stops by my house to give me the news. Joe pauses and goes to the file cabinet in his mind and says, well, it it must have been a Sunday because I was still at the house. I wouldn't have been at the house that late unless it was a Sunday. They stopped in around eight to tell me brother Gene had been shot.
OK Solberg:Hey. Stop right there. Now we have two impressive stories about the Peigneux brothers. One survived a high powered rifle shot through the wrist and body cavity, and the other brother Joe can remember which day of the week it was even fifty six years later. Are you hearing what I'm telling?
OK Solberg:Now this isn't the first time my friend Joe has shown me the accuracy of his memory. The first time was when I asked Joe what he remembered from the JFK assassination back on 11/22/1963. Joe stated that they were at school in Malta, and the news came and everyone was shocked. Then Joe does that magical pause where he allows a second to pass before he draws from the database. Joe paused and said, it must have been a Friday because we didn't go out to the farm except for the weekend, and I remember the family visiting about it around the kitchen table that night.
OK Solberg:Go do your research, guys. 11/22/1963 was a Friday. Joe was correct. If we're screening potential jurors for a trial, this man will do. Remarkable memory.
OK Solberg:And when Joe said that the day his brother Gene was shot was on a Sunday, listen to what the PCN News article says from 1969. Gene Peigneux shot Sunday by unknown party. Eugene Walter Jean Peigneux 17 is reported to be doing well at the Deaconess Hospital in Glasgow after being struck with a high powered rifle bullet while hunting on Sunday morning. So now we have a Peigneux who is built bulletproof and a Peigneux who has a memory of a genius. Remember, a big part of smarts is simply remembering what you heard or what you saw.
OK Solberg:You know? I think I'll call this episode Peigneux are bulletproof geniuses. But remember, it's just between you and me. Don't go blabbing it or they'll be getting a big head. So until next time, as you go out there, remember now, don't be bitter.
