    Thank you for getting me to 10,000 subscribers, going to be doing my first LIVE STREAM Friday 4:30pm PDT.
    Join me to hang out, I'll be answering question and talking a bit about Franks health situation and everything I'm doing to help with that and what's to come for him.

    I am overwhelmed by the number of parts that go into a vehicle. This series fills me with so much appreciation for my mechanic.

    • @tidelinetoalpine
      @tidelinetoalpine  3 года назад +9

      And every vehicle is different, some brands have parts I’ve never heard of. It’s incredible to be fluent in most vehicles. I’m definitely a Chevy/GMC gal and don’t give me anything too modern.

  • @truckguy6666
    @truckguy6666 3 года назад

    The personality in that dogs face and movements is just awesome. If he ever needs a real good place to stay, I would take him in a heartbeat. Lost my best boy a few months ago suddenly and unexpectedly and let me tell you my world stopped turning for a while. Not to bring you down but every day, every second is precious

You can see your father’s experience in all the little details, I think you two did a great job! This experience will be priceless for future repairs by yourself. Frank is possibly the cutest supervisor ever btw!

    Your experience brought back memories of my first engine rebuild. First time getting black greasy hands, you know, dirt with a little grease, working its way into every swirl of your fingerprint, … yada, yada
    i was 19, bought a clunker for college, 350 miles away. Old Ford Galaxy with a 240, a straight six. Dad let me do everything, except install the piston rings ….. Got the engine all back together, in the car, and drove out the driveway. So smooth starting up, i drove around the block. Used up a quart of oil 😀😆😂🤣
    i learned Two lessons on that project. Hard work isn’t fatal, just dirty. And even Dad’s 🤔 can install piston oil wiper rings upside down 🤣🤣🤣.
    Yes, i got to tear the engine down again. Installed the piston rings right way up myself, and was out of beer money for a month for the extra gasket sets again. 🥲
    Best time with my dad, ever, btw😘

It's hard work but the quality time with dad is also something to keep in the storage locker of memories... and then there is Frank 💖💖💖💖 he is the perfect dog, I believe this is also a reflection of the owner as well - the two of you are the perfect combo 😎.

    @havefaithtarot 3 года назад

    Whata purdy engine. Getting there little by little. Be proud of yourself. Also, I’ve never seen a slackline like that. Looks complicated but I’m sure you’re used to it by now. The one I have is just two pieces with a crank thing to tighten. Interesting. Also looks thinner so I’m sure it’s actually more difficult to balance on than mine which I can still only make a couple steps before dropping. Good job with the supervising Mr. Frank, even though he wanted a break with his ball. Cute.
